So Guccifer 2.0 was a GRU officer. What a surprise. Wonder if it was a 400 pound GRU officer.

Man, who on earth could've seen that one coming?
Hackers can easily disguise their work. Speak to any body you know that has these skills.
I agree the case is not closed...but all along it has been much more likely than not a Russian intelligence operation...this reinforces my view...but there is some residual uncertainty
so Roger Stone...witting or unwitting collaborator?
My personal opinion--and it is merely that--is that Stone was probably perfectly aware that his position was bull**** (that article in Breitbart in Aug 2016 is truly something) but was probably not legally complicit. It makes him, by my lights, a morally culpable ****heel but probably not indictable. Smart enough to maintain plausible deniability but transparently shady.
Which is actually a decent template for how I thought the whole Russia collusion issue might break down. I guess we'll see.
Wikileaks...witting or unwitting collaborator with GRU?
do they get indicted?
I have to say that Stone's 2016 Guccifer apolologia and the concurrent campaign messaging comes across looking like massive gaslighting. That's not to say that it proves complicity, but the timing of what's known now about Russian pitches to the campaign suggests that at the least, they were willing to wittingly, collectively obfuscate the truth for a short-term benefit. They knew. It's silly to suggest otherwise at this point.
We have a genuinely interesting cast of characters here, I must say.
