Oh, so she said she wasn’t a government official, had nothing to do with Russia. Well okay then, case closed. Why would she lie?
Right. The FSB would not use cutouts for plausible denial. Their hackers wouldn’t use wiki leaks either. They’re basically honest, too. If you ask them if they’re with the the Russian government, they’re required to tell you the truth. Otherwise, it’s entrapment and won’t hold up in court. Every drug dealer know this.
