Found a blurb on Neon Revolt’s thread @ Gab, that
Guccifer 2.0 not only wasn’t Russian or Romanian, but he was likely an op by Crowdstrike. So I checked out the link. Below is an excerpt and link. Article is very long:

“It is a severely under-appreciated point that, despite having access to John Podesta’s attachments and other documents (and releasing thousands of files), Guccifer 2.0 somehow managed to avoid releasing anything that was damaging to the reputations of Podesta, Hillary Clinton or the Democratic party’s leadership.

None of the material Guccifer 2.0 published had a negative impact on Clinton’s campaign, (though the persona’s access to documents suggests its operator would have had the capability to do so). Even the documents given to Aaron Nevins made zero impact on the General Election in relevant states.

On the other hand, Guccifer 2.0 did manage to very effectively smear the public perception of the DNC leaks and Podesta emails as published by WikiLeaks, and to generate headlines expressing outrage that funneled attention away from their contents.

Without arguing attribution at all, one could draw the conclusion the party which most benefitted from the actions of Guccifer 2.0 – even a Russian Guccifer 2.0 – was, in fact, the Hillary Clinton campaign.”

NOTE: A SIDE ISSUE: When I used microsoft e, I was reading the article at zero hedge, and after a paragraph, it redirected to some sort of ad. I couldn’t close it, so just closed the browser, and started over.

This time, the page would not come up, and bing kept intruding with the message that it couldn’t be reached. I try to avoid bing, but lately it has been popping up-seeming to challenge my homepage msn.com.

So I switched to firefox to post this link. Makes me wonder why bing didn’t work.

I have thought for a while that Guccifer 2.0 was the DNC.
