Well, how else would they be able to remove malware without explicit access to the existing networks?

The only way law enforcement should have access to any civilian network not publicly accessible is with a warrant per the Fourth Amendment. "Secret court orders" to "remove malware" are fascist BS. Who knows what, if anything the US actually removed, or what they added?

Russian botnets and cyberattacks are a legitimate threat to Western countries, especially right now, but a legitimate threat also makes a perfect cover.
