The bit about Cyrillic text originally struck me as unimportant. It could be fake! But it could also be real. So what?

However, you’re right that Lawrence emphasizes it as evidence for his leak theory. And, as you can see from this response I got on Twitter, other leak theorists are convinced it’s important.

No, I haven’t seen any evidence this was done on a Biden staffer’s computer. I’m not even sure how it’s possible to glean such a thing from the documents posted on Wikileaks.

Regardless, since this is clearly important to leak theorists — and also a weak argument — I added something about it to my article (now #6, towards the bottom). Thanks.
