PRAGUE, October 19. /TASS/. The Russian diplomatic mission in the Czech Republic insists on the return of a Russian national arrested in Prague at the request of the US, Russian Embassy Spokesman Andrey Kolmakov told TASS on Wednesday. "The embassy was officially informed of the Russian national’s detention in the Czech Republic," he stated. "The notice says that he has been detained at the request of one of the US state’s courts."

"The embassy has been taking all necessary efforts to protect the interests of this Russian citizen. We are in contact with his attorney. Russia repudiates Washington’s policy of imposing its extraterritorial jurisdiction on all countries. We insist that the detainee is handed over to Russia," Kolmakov stressed.

As the Czech police reported earlier, the detained Russian citizen was charged.......

"..As the Czech police reported earlier, the detained Russian citizen was charged with cyberattacks against US targets...."

Question: is this a real suspect or a "red-Herring"..?

The meme of Russian hacking is building steam. Next step is to tie Trump to it and discredit Wikileaks as disinformation.

Red-Herring alert!!! They have to make crap up to fit their agenda. Its Russia’s fault that they are so corrupt.

Gee, what a coincidence. A “Russian Hacker™” is detained with much publicity on the day of the last presidential debate. Yup, them Russians are interfering in our election, that’s for sure. We’d best ignore any and all leaked information, unless it’s unfavorable to Trump.

What really scares me about this election is the possibility that the American public is actually as stupid and gullible as the Progressive Left thinks we are.

They are planning to toss him into the same cell as the guy who made the youtube video that caused Banghazi.

I read somewhere else that this guy was detained on Oct. 5 and they waited until today to announce it.

I’m thinking this is yet another Nakoula Basseley Nakoula - the filmmaker of the video that sparked the attack on the consulate in Benghazi - or so we were told. I don’t think the Russian government is going to be as quick to buy the bullshit as was the majority of the American public, nor will they be so slow to respond.

Opposing extradition on jurisdictional grounds isn’t a factual denial. This will be like Russian nesting dolls: open one, find another. Look for Russia to take something the Czechs want/have.

If this guy is the real deal and has actual knowledge of the Clinton/Podesta hacks, the Russians will whack him before they’ll see him extradited to the US.

Wrong decade for that strategy to work.

NO ONE I know wants to go to war with Russia over wiki, Ukraine or Syria.

“What really scares me about this election is the possibility that the American public is actually as stupid and gullible as the Progressive Left thinks we are.”

Possibility? I happen to think that, for the majority of the American public, they’re absolutely right. Get up, have breakfast, go to work, come home, eat dinner, turn on the evening “news”, watch some “reality” show or sports, go to bed and start all over again.

The Czechs can count on a cold winter when Russia cuts off their natural gas supplies in retaliation for this.

That is correct. This was all timed for the debate to help Hillary. Her lines for this have already been written and rehearsed.

Trump’s reply should be: “Yeah, does anyone believe the timing of this was coincidental? Hillary needed a talking point so the administration conveniently arranged this one for her.”

If she bring this up, Trump should just say, “Do any of you still trust what the government and media tell you?”

Yep...plus

Trump doesn’t win: Obama/Hillary attack Russia
Trump wins: “Russia invalidates our elections, we need to attack them”

I get the feeling some conflict with Russia is inevitable.

Bloomberg article said the guy didn’t hack political targets, but LinkedIn social network.
