BERLIN After months of secret negotiations, a shadowy Russian bilked American spies out of $100,000 last year, promising to deliver stolen National Security Agency cyberweapons in a deal that he insisted would also include compromising material on President Trump, according to American and European intelligence officials.

The presstitutes really want to push this story.
Here’s the earlier NYT thread, looks like the Times has been tweaking their headline:

The guy was smart enough to market the products his customers wanted. They were stupid enough to pay for both things, and got neither.
For comments #1 and #2, they go together under the program known as MOCKINGBIRD. It all stinks, and intertwined.
Yep, they’re afraid the story is going to leak and they’ve concocted a cover story about trying to buy ‘cyberweapons’ but ‘Oh by the way we got info on Trump accidentally’.
All they have done to Trump would have Ruined 10 other people!
Yes, but what choice do they have ? If they told the truth, most of them would be out of a job, and some of them would be in jail.
Obvious cover story. They paid Russians for Trump dirt. Just like using FISA warrant on someone near Trump to spy on Trump. Just imagine Bush doing this to Obongo in 08.
Since a cyberweapon is most certainly some computer program rather than the actual hardware especially software that is meant to be spread to other people's computers like a virus, how can it possibly be returned? It's like returning an original disc after you've made a copy. The Russians would still have their copies unless they were destroyed and if they could be destroyed there would be no need to return the stolen copy.
FISA Warrant on Carter Page was like CHAIN MIGRATION!! They could spy on ANYINE he cam into contact with!
Yes, but what choice do they have ? If they told the truth, most of them would be out of a job, and some of them would be in jail.
Looks like a CYA lame excuse.
This is utter b.s. How can you possibly “retrieve cyber weapons” — the thieves could have made any number of copies, yes? Sham cover story for paying $100K in govt funds to Russians for supposed Trump “dirt”.....
Well... it's all explained in this book.
This story is a lie except the CIA was willing to pay 10 million tax dollars for sex dirt on Trump after the election and did so but the film was a phony. This was treason and sedition and those involved should be hung publicly after their short trial. I assure you it is bull crap about the cyber :weapons” I know that because the cyber weapons were software and easily copied and disseminated . The stupid NSA idiots let that get hacked. You can not get that tooth paste back in the tube!! We have Brennan trying to over throw the government that we elected!! I promise you that this is in the IG report and they are trying to do a preemptive strike. This is an all out attempted coup and needs to be treated as such with summary executions of those involved on conviction!! Where is Jeffy Sessions?
we should defund both the CIA and the FBI.
These last few years have proven both organizations are rogue.
What does it mean to “recover stolen cyber weapons”? Sounds weird.
