“Higher ups” in intelligence now say there is evidence that Putin himself was involved and he did it because he hates Hillary. Now Obama is thinking of a response before he leaves office.

I hope Trump tells Putin to just hang on a few more days.

[arl295]

Does it matter?

The “hackers” did not WRITE the emails

people seem to forget that fact

I still think it could be an inside effort as well, usually this stuff is.

[Terry Mross]

The media is running with fake news every day about this crap. They’re going to end up getting us into a damned war with Russia. Obama would love to launch some nukes, or, overturn the election thus causing riots and he then declares martial law. I will only feel relieved one Trump is sworn in.

[Terry Mross]

Not mentioning the facts of the emails shows just how corrupt the media is. I hope Trump kicks at least one reporter out of every news conference.

“The private-sector security provider that monitors the agency’s firewall detected a large unblocked scan even on November 15 at 8:43 AM. The event was an IP address (216.81.81.80) attempting to scan certain aspects of the Georgia Secretary of State’s infrastructure. The attempt to breach our system was unsuccessful,” Kemp wrote.

shows that some experts are more expert at finding fingerprints (IPs) than others.

Bingo!

[EDINVA]

Why don’t you read the post instead of just the headline, and possibly listen to the interview?

[uncbob]

Well if the Russians hacked the DNC emails
It is damn sure that they were able to hack into Hillary’s unsecure private EMAIL Server

I thought it very cute when CBS reached into the Progressive garbage can and extracted Mike Morrell, the disgraced Acting CIA Director, to boost the Russian hack fake news. Charlie Rose even asked him if the CIA actually got the “WMD” assessment wrong and Morrell agreed but stated that the CIA got it right most of the time.

Glaring non-ask by Rose was: “Weren’t you (Morrell) in charge when the CIA & State vigorously puked out the anti-Muslim movie fake story”?

[a fool in paradise]

The Left argues that ‘some’ of the emails are fakes (or COULD be fakes) and therefore none of the scandals deserve ANY airing.

[a fool in paradise]

Valerie Blame Plame was also inside the CIA working to confound certain findings.

Meanwhile we still don’t know who forged the hoaxed “Bush National Guard” memos.

Dmitrii Alperovitch of CrowdStrike [not joking]. I’ll let you research the donations to the Dems. Looks like NPR wanted to try that “optics” thing all the fake news kids are into, using a Russkii guest to legitimize their nonstory about Russkii xacking.

Cybersecurity Firm Confirms Russian Hackers Breached The DNCNPR's Audie Cornish speaks with Dmitri Alperovitch, co-founder and chief technology officer of CrowdStrike, about their assessment on how Russian hackers breached the Democratic National Committee and what it means for U.S. cyber security.

DNC hacker slams CrowdStrike, publishes opposition memo on Donald Trump

The hacker claiming responsibility for the DNC attack (using the alias Guccifer 2.0) mocked CrowdStrike's assessment that he was a sophisticated hacker group, noting that he was pleased the company "appreciated my skills so highly. But in fact, it was easy, very easy."

Cyber researchers confirm Russian government hack of Democratic National Committee

The DNC had hired the cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike to investigate the breach, and the firm found that two Russian hacker groups penetrated the network at different times.
...
Now at least two other cybersecurity firms — Fidelis Cybersecurity and Mandiant — have seconded CrowdStrike’s conclusion.

There ya go.

[philman_36]

Now that is evidence.

see how easy that is

Yeah, we've got a pretty good idea who did it. Bill Burkett.
