Former British spy and anti-Trump dossier author Christopher Steele once alleged that Russian agents “within the Democratic Party” were involved in hacking the Democratic National Committee.
The New Yorker reports:
On July 26, 2016, after WikiLeaks disseminated the D.N.C. e-mails, Steele filed yet another memo, this time claiming that the Kremlin was “behind” the hacking, which was part of a Russian cyber war against Hillary Clinton’s campaign. Many of the details seemed far-fetched: Steele’s sources claimed that the digital attack involved agents “within the Democratic Party structure itself,” as well as Russian émigrés in the U.S. and “associated offensive cyber operators.”
The explosive claim comes amid reports that Special Counsel Robert Mueller is readying criminal charges against Russian hackers allegedly responsible for leaking damaging emails “designed to hurt Democrats in the 2016 election.”
NBC News reports:
Much like the indictment Mueller filed last month charging a different group of Russians in a social media trolling and illegal-ad-buying scheme, the possible new charges are expected to rely heavily on secret intelligence gathered by the CIA, the FBI, the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), several of the officials say. […] Mueller’s consideration of charges accusing Russians in the hacking case has not been reported previously. Sources say he has long had sufficient evidence to make a case, but strategic issues could dictate the timing. Potential charges include violations of statutes on conspiracy, election law as well as the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.

A big part of Mueller’s has has just disintegrated. The core of the whole thing was that the DNC computers were “hacked.” Now it turns out that it was an internal leak all along. Steele’s just changing his story to fit the irrefutable facts. Seth Rich, anybody??
Seth WAS a Bernie guy!!
BE PREPARED:
Already the left is mobilizing to make Seth Rich into a Russian agent.
They know where all this leads.
It was Steele who was colluding with the Russians, for Billary, Inc.
Many fewer Russian agents in the RAT party now that they’re no longer most favored commies...

Seth Rich made a horrible mistake: He leaked the Clinton scandal info and, in an attempt to hide his identity, he changed his name to Vince Foster.
I suspect there’s a lot of ‘home grown’ communists involved.
