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.

Seth Rich was a Russian agent?
Former British spy and anti-Trump dossier author Christopher Steele will say anything you want if you pay him. Hillary made him rich.

Let me guess: Seth Richinsky and Shawn Lucaski.
Seth Rich was the DNC leak.
There was no Russian hack.
Seth Rich was killed for the leak.
Investigate that.
My question too.

How rich? I've always wondered how much of the millions that flowed through Perkins Coie from HRC and the DNC made it through to Steele, after Fusion raked off their cut.
Nice spin
This guy is as bad as the drunk idiot they interviewed yesterday
Seth Rich was a Russian agent?
The smear...
Exactly
I see the Seth rich murder as the Rosetta Stone of this matter
This is a form of Asperger Syndrome.
All the leftist kooks can say is “Russia, Russia, Russia”

My guess is Seth was a Bernie guy and Bernie’s a communist - - with long standing Russian connections.
My guess is Seth was a Bernie guy and Bernie’s a communist - - with long standing Russian connections. Maybe Russians were trying to ‘help’ Bernie without him being part of that decision...
Why in the hell isn’t Hillary in prison yet!!!!!!!!!!
Mueller is nothing but a puppet, wasting our money.
Please arrest this guy and the rest of the Clintonistas.
Mueller has an important job to do.
And that is to clean up the entire DNC/Obama/Clinton mess.
No. Its Debbie Wasserman Schultski.
And somehow blame Trump for it.
