Investigators have uncovered evidence that Russia is at least partly responsible for a recent hack of the computer system that manages federal court documents, including highly sensitive records with information that could reveal sources and people charged with national security crimes, according to several people briefed on the breach.

1. Chance that Trump will raise the issue with Putin:

Zero.

[Ninga]

2. Under scores for me, likely 2024 election interference.

[Sailingdiver]

10. Oh, he'll raise it...

And, just like the election interference, his bff will deny it (and despite what the US intelligence proves) the orange hued one will go on the teevee and tell everyone "putin told me he didn't do anything". Very powerfully

[erronis]

11. It'll get raised, and they'll both have a good chuckle. Maybe some more under-the-table envelopes.

14. Chance trump is going to blackmail people?

100% this was done for him

3. Maybe they'll find and release the Epstein files! Nt

4. Those investigators better watch themselves or the DOJ will start an investigation of them.

5. I wonder how much help they had from Elon and his Doge Boyz?

Elon and Vlad are tight.

Vladimir Putin lauds Elon Musk as rare pioneer

Tech billionaire and Donald Trump administration adviser Elon Musk has won the admiration of another president: Russia’s Vladimir Putin.

Speaking to students at Bauman Moscow State Technical University on Wednesday, Putin described Musk as a rare visionary, according to Russian state-owned media outlet TASS.

Snip

It is not the first time Putin has praised Musk. In an interview with former Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson last year, the Russian president said there is “no stopping Elon Musk” and spoke of his desire to “find common ground” on areas such as artificial intelligence.

Musk, for his part, has been accused by Kyiv of parroting Kremlin talking points about Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine and spreading pro-Russian propaganda.

The tech entrepreneur, who rocketed to political prominence after backing Trump to win the 2024 U.S. presidential election, has condemned the provision of American aid to Kyiv without an “end game” and has repeatedly hit out at Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

7. Questions questions!

9. We have to assume musk turned everything over to Putin.

And to China.

He has vested interests with both countries.

12. He may be a drug addict but he ain't totally stupid. Bet there are some other nuggets in his pants....

[Hornedfrog2000]

17. This guy gets it.

Wait until they shut off our power, or gas in the middle of the winter for ol trump.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

6. I think the headline should have been "breach", not "breech". ...

Our Federal Court System doesn't have breeches - they wear robes.

Anyway, the article must be wrong. Trump has greatest respect and love for Russia and Putin. They wouldn't do anything to harm us, right?

[Ninga]

8. Welp- thx!

[erronis]

13. Sorta like the Scots? You wear the kilts and no breeches underneath?

Stinky chairs after they've been flatulating from the bench for a few hours....

[Ninga]

19. Yep

[Buddyzbuddy]

15. "Russia if you're listening....."

[Nigrum Cattus]

16. the repugs have cut funding and staff to cyber

[riversedge]

18. Oh but Trumpy will look into it!!

[William Gustafson]

20. If only there was agency that would have stopped this...

Like a Cyber Security Agency... I know that is something we use to have, but for some reason, its gone now...
Maybe it would be a good time to re-establish this agency...

[sheshe2]

21. Trump: Russia, are you listening?

The Documents related to criminal activity with an overseas tie, across at least eight district courts, were initially believed to have been targeted.

I need them destroyed.

[twodogsbarking]

22. Obama will be questioned.

[BoRaGard]

23. These are the frikken G.O.P. "besties" attacking America
