Clinton says Russian intelligence services hacked DNC
Reuters via Yahoo ^ | July 31st, 2016 | by Doina Chiacu

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said Russian intelligence services hacked into Democratic National Committee computers and she accused Republican contender Donald Trump of showing support for Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"We know that Russian intelligence services hacked into the DNC and we know that they arranged for a lot of those emails to be released and we know that Donald Trump has shown a very troubling willingness to back up Putin, to support Putin," Clinton said in an interview with "Fox News Sunday."

The United States has not publicly accused Russia of being behind the hack of Democratic Party computers. Cyber security experts and U.S. officials, however, said they believed Russia engineered the release of the emails to influence the Nov. 8 U.S. presidential election.

Asked if she believed Putin wanted Trump to win the White House, Clinton said she was not going to jump to that conclusion.

This is about what the DNC did, and how unethical and cynically self-serving their behavior is - not about how the information was obtained. They always lie, and always conceal. They just got caught this time, and are forced into damage control. IMHO a significant number of them should be serving jail time for their various activities (think Lois Lerner, AND Hillary, etc.). Doesn't matter how the truth about Bill Clinton's ‘activities’ with Monica came to light. It wasn't about the messenger. It was about what he did. The same principle is operating here.

I’m betting it was an inside DNC job by a Bernie supporter OR a person who felt the playing field should be level... (an honest democrat..)

This coming from the woman who’s Clinton Foundation sold out a large portion of America’s domestic Uranium mining rights to the Russians. This coming from the woman who wants to turn the USA into the former USSR. Yeah, sure......

Of all people who should shut her trap she is the first on the list. Quite a conclusion too in that her campaign refused to cooperate with the FBI investigating the hacking.

Hillary knows this because she is an amazing technical whiz. She can determine in two hours the origin of a hack when other security experts would need months of analysis to determine that. Either this, or the Russian security services are so stupid they have left tracks all over the place pointing to themselves as the hackers.

The Russians hacked DNC.

Benghazi attack due to an Internet video.

Good to her this. For a moment I was wondering if someone at the DNC leaked this material then was executed for the transgression.

And that Benghazi was caused by a video.

If it is so cheap and easy, why would the Russian security services be pinching pennies?

It’s pretty easy to hack computer accounts when people don’t follow (or purposely circumvent) common sense cybersecurity practices.

Russia as a whole is pinching pennies as oil is the basis of their economy - plus they are undergoing a huge defense and space build out.

Got it. Russia didn’t do it because budget cuts prevented them from using readily available hacking software. Not saying they did it, but I don’t think that was the reason they didn’t.

Mrs. Clinton sez, “We know that Russian intelligence services hacked into the DNC....”

Hacked? You mean like with an axe or machete, dust cloth girl?

Did Fox pull the entire interview off their website? It was there and then it wasn’t.
