Feds Charge 16 #Russians Allegedly Tied to #Botnets Used in #Ransomware , #Cyberattacks , and #Spying

A new US #indictment against a group of Russian nationals offers a clear example of how, authorities say, a single #malware operation can enable both criminal and state-sponsored #hacking.

Her attys added on Tues that “Judge Dugan asserts her innocence & looks forward to being vindicated in court.”

The #indictment was announced during a short hearing on Tuesday evening at the federal courthouse in downtown Milwaukee. After 20 members of a #GrandJury entered a wood-paneled courtroom & took their seats, a judge examined paperwork & indicated that Judge #Dugan, along with other defendants in unrelated cases, had been indicted.

Charges of #SexTrafficking against 2 real estate brokers & their brother have been expanded to now include 6 victims, including an #underage girl, per a superseding #indictment.

Oren & Tal #Alexander —who reigned over the luxury real estate markets in both #Miami & #NewYork, as well Oren’s twin Alon Alexander—were initially indicted in NYC in Dec & accused of sex trafficking 2 victims by #force, #fraud or #coercion.

#EricAdams, a *Democrat*, is resisting growing calls to resign. Gov #KathyHochul is also under increasing pressure to remove him from office.

The 4 ofcls who are expected to resign are all respected govt veterans. Ms. Torres-Springer was elevated to the 2nd most powerful job at City Hall in Oct in an effort to stabilize city govt & restore confidence in his admin following the mayor’s federal #indictment in Sept on 5 #corruption counts.

Re #Trump’s claims that #JackieSmith’s filing is in violation of the #DOJ’s 60 day before an election policy is BS. The DOJ's "60-day rule" applies to bringing NEW indictments in the days leading up to an #election, it is not relevant to the #ElectionInterference / #ElectionSubversion / #Jan6 / #FakeElectors #criminal #conspiracy case.

This is NOT a new #indictment. It is a #filing in regard to a VERY OLD indictment. Trump was first indicted in this case in Aug 2023.

#JackSmith’s Big New #Jan6 Brief Is a Major #Indictment of #SCOTUS

It’s rare to simultaneously feel red-hot anger & wistfulness, especially when merely reading a document. But those are exactly the emotions that washed over me when I read the redacted version of #SpecialCounsel #JackSmith’s brief reciting in detail the #evidence against #Trump for attempting to subvert the #2020election.
