Now that Trump's elected, those to whom debts are owed can start fucking with him. Took it all of a day for one to get started!
Russia said it was in contact with President-elect Donald Trump's team during the U.S. election campaign, despite repeated denials by the Republican candidate's advisers that any links existed. "There were contacts" before the election, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said Thursday, according to the Interfax news service. "We continue this work of course," he said, without giving details of what the contacts were.
Bonus points to Ryabkov for the ostentatious ambiguity. It's like something from a 1970s Hollywood movie about a secret technology that makes Americans scared of radio waves in the 650nm range: "We continue this work of course."
In The Guardian, a "pro-Kremlin political analyst" quoted as saying "maybe we helped a bit with WikiLeaks" is getting a lot of play, too. This fits the pre-election suspicions of U.S. intelligence, but that job title means he's just a blogger/pundit type.
