Why would they announce it?
They announce everything.
The announcement is for the U.S. voter, not for Russia. My opinion: I do think this is for after/during the votes are tallied. IF Hillary wins the cyber attack will disappear because “they” will not need it, but if Donald Trump is winning/won they will pull out all the stops to get the witch elected and keep The Chair in power.
A cyber attack will stop the going machines from working, it will stop us from communicating to know that incredibly massive fraud in occurring. I would not put anything, I repeat ANYTHING past the evil in power.
Russia bring her people back home...maybe they think there will be charged him war here. Maybe it is not fake.
All speculation and a fair plot for a book.
Empty threats. If it were official they would have to follow through to save face so instead it gets leaked because it’s an empty threat. The problem is that Russia will take it seriously.
This doesn’t end well for anyone and the justification doesn’t exist.
