Cohen, who specializes in countering influence of foreign adversaries like Russia and China, says the persistence and sophistication of some of those involved in QAnon have convinced him of a foreign presence in the movement.
“In my professional opinion, being in the intelligence world, it really appeared to be a foreign state actor or a very organized operation,” he said. “I just don’t see that level of sophistication as just an amateur thing.”
Cohen also discovered that someone hacked into an old Hotmail account he no longer used and sought to use it verify other accounts. The intruder then used it to set up a meeting for Cohen with former National Security Agency employee Bill Binney, who has claimed that the hack of the Democratic National Committee in 2016 was an inside job and was not orchestrated by Russia as the intelligence community concluded
"The two years we have spent trying to successfully disentangle Ezra from the sticky webs of QAnon conspiracists has required incredible efforts both behind the scenes and publicly,” said Zaid, who has sometimes represented POLITICO reporters in Freedom of Information suits. “This is a movement and ideology that needs to be directly confronted by our government and citizenry.”
There was a time in the not-so-distant past when the literary scene was overflowing with bad boys. Writers like Philip Roth, Saul Bellow, Hunter S. Thompson and Norman Mailer, or even little Martin Amis, attacked the page with a masculine gusto that produced novels such as Roth’s Portnoy’s Complaint, a hilarious coming-of-age story that depicts the male libido in all its absurdity. The novel was so provocative, that Roth, a Jewish-American writer, was denounced by rabbis for writing what they considered to be vile smut. There was a gleeful aggressiveness to the bad boys’ writing, and to the way they carried themselves. Consider Mailer’s appearances on The Dick Cavett Show — particularly the evening in 1971 when he sparred with Gore Vidal, (The Infamous feud) threatening violence and belittling the studio audience once words failed him.
It was puffed up buffoonery, sure, but in this era of the manicured artist, where writers and their publicists meticulously cultivate their brands, it’s electrifying to watch a literary great flail like a madman. Which begs the question: where have all the literary bad boys gone?

Bits and bobs that sort of fit today's weird vibe...
School Board Runs Away - Masks are gone. Clip. Can't do that in the big city, Teachers Unions are worse then the Mob Rudy, DJT and Comey whacked.
Similarly, Sorosian Stooge is on his way out... More LA County cities vote for 'no confidence' in DA Gascón's policies
Samantha Power Has a Job Inexplicably. Rounding out the entire return of renOgade interrupted. LOL, god these people are stupid.
YouTube gets FreeSpeech Award, censors DJT & Bongino Ironic, but not as juicy as serial killer Cuomo getting an emmy and a book deal both on how to murder with impunity.
Recent victim of a fraudulent hit piece Tim Scott - a black man, will give the "rebuttal" to great white hope Actor Joe's fake SOTU speech. Joe can't give a SOTU speech because he isn't President, to do so would be treason of the highest order. As head of the Corporation he can speak, just no one will listen because the entire world intuitively knows he isn't important. Think about that last point a bit...
Joe D and Victoria T were also "raided" along with Rudy??? "How Do You Introduced Evidence Legally?" Seize it of course.
Maricopa continues on, oddly, the Dems haven't been able to stop the effort to prove Actor Joe got more votes then people registered to vote, thereby proving Joe won and ending this Conspiracy Theory. Oddly, they couldn't even come up with a million bucks to stop it, hmmmm, they could have shifted 1m from BLM with ease, or taken a few bucks from Baal Gates' 200 billion profit on the jabs. Hmmm.
On the last point. That "audit" is NOT for POTUS exclusively, it is for ALL votes cast. We mentioned this last year, the audits will be CRUSHING as House Rats, Senate Rats are all gone too. The balance of power will be blown to bits if all the votes for all the races are tallied. Oddly, GA Rep Collins said he is not running for politics anymore, I wonder if he knows something about down ballot votes?
