Editor's Note: Satter's father, David Satter, is an author and Russia specialist who has been critical of the Russian government. Several of his emails were published last year by hackers and his address is on Secureworks' list.
Fantasy.
That’s not a hack, that’s an idiot falling for a phishing scheme
Seth Rich
Fake News. It was Seth Rich, not the Russians.
Not that long of a read, unless one is mostly a Headline Drive-by Poster (like me, generally...).
Much detail in a timeline to be examined.
A story with no sources or facts. ok
Did the Russians put tens of thousands of confidential US Govt emails onto Anthony Wiener's laptop?
Hacking? Sounds more like Podesta was phished, ie, punked through sheer stupidity. And his emails ended up in “Russian-linked” hands whatever that means. Someone who “shares Russian interests?”
That’s where all the “Russian hacking” B/S started. No evidence whatsoever. Hillary had Russia on her brain because of her own dirty dealings with them. She probably figured they were double-crossing her.
A New Report Raises Big Questions About Last Year’s DNC Hack
Russiagate Is More Fiction Than Fact
Bombshell Report on the DNC Hack by Forensic Experts Claims It Was an Inside Job, Not the Russians
The place is infested with them.
The Russians wanted Bernie elected.
This article reads like so much crap, I can almost hear the melodramatic music keying in the background. oh, fear! Oh, gloom and doom!
I didn’t know Seth Rich was Russian.
For one thing, they describe the Clinton campaign's digital security measures as "top-of-the-line." That itself is a joke.
Then they claim that some Russian operative claimed that he had 'thousands of emails' worth of dirt on Clinton, without any documented connection to the DNC or the Clinton campaign.
Lastly (and related to the previous point), they completely ignore the possibility that the "thousands" of emails about Clinton were actually hacked from her illegal unsecured home server, not the computer network of her campaign or the DNC.
It wasn’t a hack, it was a leak and his name was Seth Rich.
He was plugged.
I believe Assange when he said the Russians DIDN'T DO IT. And Assange knows more about Seth Rich's murder than he is willing to admit.
This has to be one of the stupidest, most dishonest articles about the DNC and Clinton leaks.
From the article:
“The AP’s reconstruction— based on a database of 19,000 malicious links recently shared by cybersecurity firm Secureworks — shows how the hackers worked their way around the Clinton campaign’s top-of-the-line digital security to steal chairman John Podesta’s emails in March 2016.”
Podesta’s password was password.
Supposedly everyone in the office had it because Podesta would forget and he needed help to log on.
The article contains no evidence whatsoever. No sources for information. It just repeats what Democrat staffers said.
The FBI and the “intelligence community” never had access to the computers in question.
Never.
So when the story cites the FBI and “intelligence community” they are being dishonest.
Hey if people are stupid enough to believe this crap run with it.
” It was just before noon in Moscow on March 10, 2016, when the first volley of malicious messages hit the Hillary Clinton campaign.”
Ahhh... the CIA’s “Umbrage” program as described in vault 7 of Wikileaks. Collect tools from hackers worldwide. Add a few Cyrillic letters in the program. Launch cyber attacks during normal business hours of the country you want to blame.
IE... “It was just before noon in Moscow on March 10, 2016, when the first volley...”
This is just a modern Gulf of Tonkin, a modern USS Maine, a modern Belgian babies, a modern Kuwaiti babies thrown from incubators. Total BS.
The info from Podesta and the DNC was leaked by WikiLeaks. Nobody is denying this. However the process that the information was obtained and released to WikiLeaks is in dispute. There is no ‘Political Damage’ to someone, or even a government obtaining the emails. No, it is clearly the release of said emails that had a political impact.
What I am trying to say is, the emails may have been obtained from multiple times, but the time that really matters politically is the one that lead to the WikiLeaks release. The Russians, the North Koreans, the Iranians, private Hackers, CIA using software to look like the Russians could have penetrated to the information. So, looking like the Russians means absolutely NOTHING, because it’s potentially an electronic cover your tracts anyway. Even then, so what if it was the Russians if they didn’t disseminate the information.
The key here is who gathered the Information and then gave it to WikiLeaks. That has already partially been settled. The time stamps on the download prove it wasn’t an ‘internet’ download or a remote hack (like the Russians). Too fast for internet, so it was downloaded locally. That means at the server or computer directly linked to it. So the individuals WERE there in the building. That entirely kills the false narrative of this article, demonstrates it as a attempt to confuse people, and deceive them from the reality. FAKE NEWS, or they need to say that they believe the Russians hackers were in the building doing this.
So, what we got here is an inside job. Inside the building. Further, not a single ‘stolen’ document has a date after the death of Seth Rich. What the author describes here is liberal fantasy, the Russians did it, because all evidence points to a DNC insider, who was unable to download at the server, anymore information nearly the same time as the death of Seth Rich.
Finally, with the current information that the Russians only want conflict and chaos, disclosing this information gives them a motive. The Russians supporting Hillary stuff after the election proves that they were interested in discord, not a Trump victory, and the emails provided that. However, based upon statements, Seth Rich was motivated by justice and a Jesuit moral code. Further, Seth was a Bernie supporter. Armed with this information, all parties above had motive to expose the DNC and Podesta, but the Russians would have included emails of Bernie and other parties on the server, while Seth Rich would not have.
