Russia has absolutely no need to hide anything. Do you think they would face any consequences at all? And given the astonishing incompetence from DOGE, that its various staff members have been thoroughly compromised isn't remotely unlikely[1]. It doesn't even have to be Russian intelligence but could be any of the many hacking groups in Russia, and the IP noted (83.149.30.186) is a well known player in intrusion attempts.

Further, saying "someone trying to create a Russia connection" sounds rather incredible. The Russia connections have been so absolutely overwhelming at every turn that it's infinitely beyond deniable now.

Russia just had to be a predominately white nation that paid lip service to Christian nationalism and that hilarious show turned them into the US far-right's best pals. It would be nice if we moved beyond pretending this is conspiratorial when it has been in the open and stated in the open repeatedly for years.

[1] DOGE is completely disregarding all security norms -- they think it's an annoying slowdown to not just install whatever they want and to open whatever ports they want, etc -- so the likelihood that vast troves of US data has been exfiltrated by enemy states is approaching 100%.
