This report also claims there is no apparent evidence that the hacker known as Guccifer 2.0 — supposedly based in Romania — hacked the DNC on behalf of the Russian government. There is also no evidence, the report’s authors say, that Guccifer handed documents over to WikiLeaks. Instead, the report says that the evidence and timeline of events suggests that Guccifer may have been conjured up in an attempt to deflect from the embarrassing information about Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign that was released just before the Democratic National Convention. The investigators found that some of the “Guccifer” files had been deliberately altered by copying and pasting the text into a “Russianified” word-processing document with Russian-language settings.
If all this is true, these findings would constitute a massive embarrassment for not only the DNC itself but the media, which has breathlessly pushed the Russian hacking narrative for an entire year, almost without question but with little solid evidence to back it up.

You could easily be forgiven for not having heard about this latest development — because, perhaps to avoid potential embarrassment, the media has completely ignored it. Instead, to this point only a few right-wing sites have seen fit to publish follow-ups.

Salon? For real?

VIPs and Ray McGovern are antiwar in the case of US policy but they’re OK with Putin waging it; their shoplifting Colonel Karen Kwiatkowski was Ted Kennedy’s favorite “source/leaker” against the Pentagon back when Ted was red and in full blown support for Hugo Chavez...but not yet dead.

What's your theory on why FOX and the MSM aren't picking up on this? For all the "Russia Russia Russia" stuff we've been fed for months you would think media outlets be all over this story... beyond just 'salon'... (still hard to believe salon would be out front with the truth. Probably because they're Bernie Sanders backers and it was Bernie who was damaged by Clinton lies.. Hacked truth was Revenge of the Bernie Backers?
