Unlike  Edward Snowden, who brought us information about the NSA's
spying operations, Harold Thomas Martin III had been squirreling away
Malware code, apparently for years (no word on whether he was author or
contributor and was just saving snippets for other projects, which would
still undoubtedly be illegal). Some of the code is apparently the kind
that make it look like others are attacking a system, like Erections
2016 cyberops... botnets.

He was ARRESTED IN SECRET OVER A MONTH AGO.

They say he was being grilled to figure out his 'psychological
motivations'... but perhaps they found their perfect opportunity to
blame the election hacking on Russia and they didn't want some pissant
contractor blowing their cyber and PR operation if the public found out
that code was 'in the wild' and anyone could have been doing it.
