Article doesn't name the agent, nor go into any useful detail.
- Yeah, seems like a pretty big oversight for the author... [Checks byline]... no author credited.
  Great. Very real. Much news.
- This is the correct assessment. Name the agent and lay out the grooming, and now you have a story.
  
  We waited for 30 years to know who Deep Throat was. Does that mean Woodward and Bernstein were full of shit?
  
  He has already been arrested for this, so finding out his identity shouldnt be hard. It wouldnt add anything to the story anyways. More details about how, who and when would be nice tho.
Can't wait for the day history books day something like "...and in their fervour to defeat communism and Russia, they failed to notice Russia sneaking in their back door."
So odd that a lawsuit and bail is mentioned and yet no actual details. A variety of advocates and etc are supposedly outraged and up in arms etc. And yet no deets. Almost as if some website with Kiev in the domain might be spewing bullshit against Russia. Definitely doesn't smell like desperate LLM bullshit.
- Yeah, I came to say this same thing.
  
  Well in the interim I found someone spamming the same text on Linkedin. In another comment they're linking to a ZDF interview with Buma from the 12th so it's probably about that.
