The part that caught my eye was the description of the british spies working in NSA under their management. That’s a particularly explicit detail that makes it feel more true to me. I remember doing government contracting and we’d often have foreign people working on government premises.

If so, this was particularly lazy. The NSA should have had an agent, under a false identity, hire a firm who then hired another firm. (I think that’s called a “cutout.”) That was it would be almost impossible to ever trace who actually paid for the work. (Maybe just one firm hired. But they obviously expected Hillary to win so there would never be any questions about it later.)
