i want to be cynical and say something, but i realized, this isn't my fight as i am not in it. it's important, but i would rather not think about potential humanitarian scenarios and data anymore.

Suck it America 🖕

We still support putin and his effort to shut down ukraines money laundering war.

And rain is wet anything else new about Russia?

EvilPutin

That's what the equivalent of 1/4 of an A1 Abrams tank

Anything on China hacking OPM ?

So he did what Pelosi does… oook.

Now do Nancy Pelosi. NBC news is all leftist propaganda news.

Hopefully 50 yr sentence, but 4 criminals still out there. Thank you to all law enforcement who were involved..a lot of hard work.

Terrorists.

Lets instead talk about Biden's business dealings in UW-crane (bl4cklisted word) through his ties to his son. A much more important and relevant case.

If NBC says it, It’s a lie.

FSB-agent, more than a greedy cybercriminal. Should be sent to study gang life in an exotic US but Mexican-like jail. He knows a lot, should be asked nicely to talk.

What’s what Canada and US does in an afternoon

Hmm. And Pelosi is not? Very interesting

You spelled Hunters laptop wrong 😑

Interesting that you guys care about this, but don't use any journalistic talent to investigate the Biden's. Ukraine and China seem to have invested a lot in them in return for information and U.S tax dollars...

War Criminal Putin Belongs In Jail

Insider Trading... Isnt that how many a person becomes a millionaire/multi millionaire.

nbc isn't a source for reliable information these days. Try reporting on the vaccine injuries around the world.

Did you say computer hacking ... Well he suck your ass at a snap you can just asked.

And who is responsible for this!?

VivBWoke Hmmmmm

Congress does insider trading everyday

The Biden's Administration, NATO, blew up the Nordstream pipeline, blamed Russia to keep the War machine going Poland tweet after explosion Thank You, USA Silence...

It’s about power and control right President Joe WALDO! Not the truth and honest for the sake of integrity and good of the citizenry you serve.
