    Has it been established he is an American? If not, how can he be a traitor?

    Media keeps propagating uncorroborated reports of Russian as the primary culprits. There is NO such proof for that.

    Think this is someone from the US, and perhaps a jilted Bernie supporter...(the wordpress link makes me assume that). Of course I too am speculating b/c we dont know who this is.

    Well right now the only party that this person is hacking is the democrats.

    So when this hacker goes after the republican party then we will see how this hacker is viewed.

    Isn't hacking party data similar to the Watergate break-in and Ellsberg's shrink's office? Aside from the money-laundering and Executive involvement.

    Well, he claims he is from Romania but one of the cybersecurity firms have caught him using a Russian language VPN. Russia MO is to create "identities" and pretend they are independent of their agencies. The evidence points towards their not being anyone named Guccider as it's just really the Russian intelligence.

    So you are probably thinking Russia's new KGB is a hero.

    I don’t think that this rules out the Russian Intelligence Agent being 400 lbs and living in his mom’s basement.

    Amirite?

    To some Trump supporters him being a Russian Intelligence agent attacking American institutions doesn't rule him out as a hero.
