Pompeo says it is clear that Russia was behind the widespread hacking of US government systems, becoming the first member of the Trump administration to publicly link the Kremlin to the cyberattack.
I can't believe I have forgotten over the past 48 hours now that the Cosmopolitan Globalist has been launches to mention I have been working on an article for a while now discussing the advocacy work I have been involved with relating to the US Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act for the last 10 years. I remembered to bring this up as it dawned on me that Toomas Hendrik Ilves criticized FATCA in a media appearance last week which makes him the highest level foreign official to criticize FATCA.
This is a specific, cultivated style. It's a beurocratic style, presumably used in innumerable white papers, press releases, interagency memoranda. It's not a personal style nor reflective of a lack of education. It's an established language, designed for a certain level of abstraction & obfuscation.
Claire, can we go w "CosGlo" or something? This leads to calling sensible things "cosglogian" -> "the cosglogian view" (not sure yet if the "g" should be hard or soft). But I can see it in Webster's in a few years. The full team name is supercalafragalistic and all...so many syllables.
A decent development today re: official attribution of the provenance of The Hack.

Well, now that you have penetrated the terrible, passive-voice Latinate prose and told me what they’re really saying, I’m terrified.
Also enjoyed the cameo from President Toomas Ilves. We can trust him when says “crap your pants”. Nice
Ha! Excellent!
