I don’t know the exact order of events. Seems to me Julian Asange of Wikileaks mentions Vault 7. A bunch of top State Department executives are fired and their staff reassigned. They are referred to as the 7th floor.
Did the name drop of vault 7 come before or after the firings of the 7th floor state department people?
I was seeing vault 7 stuff prior to the firings
That 7th floor group has been around for a long time - before there was a 7th floor. They consider themselves to be the “real” government. IIRC, Assange’s vault seven was mentioned before the firings.
