Ugh, they’re not sure what the motivation is, but I can’t help but wonder if these hackers are Russian state actors or affiliated and want to do exactly that.
In a message posted online Saturday, in both English and Russian, the hacking group called LockBit said the stolen documents “contain a lot of interesting things and Donald Trump’s court cases that could affect the upcoming US election.”
Seems like it. I wouldn’t put it past them to fabricate documents that make it look like the prosecution is more malicious than it is.
If they use this as an excuse to get a mistrial, I’ll lose my shit.

Didn’t LockBit just get rolled by the feds?

Read The Fucking Albatross? 🤔
Close, it’s Return The Fucking Armadillo.
That’s what the ransom is about. “I have a very particular set of skills: if you don’t return my fucking armadillo you’ll find out what they are.”
Yes, but they are apparently already back up and running or were never really all that “down”.
They’d ask for a mistrial if someone in the gallery looked at them funny
Yea, and if they get it, OP will lose his shit.

There is no reason to think this would be legitimate grounds for a mistrial, although Trump’s team will probably pretend like it is.
