There are a number of things that leave me leaning RR is not black hat - I still don’t know what he is exactly lol.
Most recently, last week at Kavanaugh hearing, there was RR in the front row and it was he who shook hands with the nominee when Feinstein’s Parkland stooge played his act.
But the thing that I’ve never gotten past is the prosecution & pardon of General Cartwright, who leaked the stuxnet virus to help Iran and is related to Strzok (surprise!)
RR was given the Cartwright case. He was stymied at every turn. He pursued and obtained a conviction. I can’t now find the Justice. Dept. statement at the time but if/when you do, read it - once you do and see the similarities to HRC e-mail case re classified information & other things going on since Trump took office - it’s hard to dismiss RR as a black hat right off. Then Obama pardoned Cartwright.
If I was Trump / Sessions, I’d have asked RR if he believed what he’d said at the time he convicted Cartwright, against the D-J and Obama admin. My guess is he’d passionately defend what he did - which, coincidentally, is what’s happening now.

From what I know of stuxnet, it was found after it escaped from the Iranian nuclear facilities. The virus was then dissected by anti-virus groups who reverse engineered it and discovered it was only exposed because the Israeli programmers made it too aggressive. They removed portions of it's stealth to insure it penetrated the target machines.
From my reading of the charges against Cartwright, he simply confirmed to an investigative author the facts of the stuxnet "Operation Olympic Games" mission. Stuxnet had long since done its work by the time Cartwright leaked to the author, David Sanger.
By then Iran and most computer egg-heads already knew who wrote it.
I didn’t know any of that. So many thanks for posting.
Reinforces my white hat opinion.
Do you have any guesses about Barsoomian and how to explain that away?
