I loved when he said the US spends billions of dollars on security and intelligence gathering, and he and his partners have 3 laptops, and they've been able to gather their info.

We are quick to blame all our ills on the not-too-bright (pResident and his voters) because of Russian influence.

I believe that a bigger element is how the worldwide networks of money, influence, crime that are totally outside of any national purview have taken control.

Just as a rhetorical question: Could anyone know how much money one of the Koch's really controls? Or Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos?

No. Tax returns and corporate filings are wallpaper.

You, poor citizen and consumer are the exception. They know ALL about YOU.

can we please not put quotes around things people did not say?

I thought this video was going to show a witness saying those words, that's what the quote marks mean.
