Interesting question on the brackets, GW, and I may get back to you with a reaction on that ...but I'm still focusing on Q's literal meaning.
If Russia didn't [hack] the DNC (insider breach) .. & US INTEL supported Russia [breach] claim What does that tell you?ANSWER: Obviously it means there were traitors atop the INTEL Community.
ALSO: Their grip in the media (even most of Fox) is still strong, as MOST TALKING HEADS, and even most Congress critters of both parties, TAKE THE RUSSIA HACK AS GOSPEL.
They still don't get it: Their time of controlling our information is OVER.
What it tells me that [they] needed the ruse to continue to protect [themselves] for being complicit.
Rock, meet hard-place.
And, [they] started it because “[they] never thought she would lose”.
Oh, and to paraphrase Nanzi:
With you, all roads lead to Ukraine.
There is A LOT more to UKR than is visible. If it breaks it will “bring down the house”.
