Exclusive: Spygate Researchers Said Claim Russians Hacked The DNC Could Have Relied On ‘Spoofed’ Data
The declassification of CrowdStrike President Shawn Henry’s December 2017 testimony before the House Intelligence Committee, that “there was no ‘concrete evidence’ that the emails were stolen electronically,” later raised more “questions about whether Special Counsel Robert Mueller, intelligence officials and Democrats misled the public” about the hack.
In his final report, Mueller concluded “that Russian intelligence ‘appears to have compressed and exfiltrated over 70 gigabytes of data’ and agents ‘appear to have stolen thousands of emails and attachments’ from Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and DNC servers, respectively.” But CrowdStrike remained the only publicly known source to support Mueller’s conclusion. Given the numerous illegal efforts to frame Donald Trump as colluding with Russia exposed by then, conservatives were unwilling to trust either Mueller or CrowdStrike.
