‘Lone DNC Hacker’ Guccifer 2.0 Slipped Up and Revealed He Was a Russian Intelligence Officer
The Daily Beast ^ | 22 March 2018 | Spencer Ackerman & Kevin Poulson

Posted on 03/22/2018 4:37:47 PM PDT by Magnatron

Guccifer 2.0, the “lone hacker” who took credit for providing WikiLeaks with stolen emails from the Democratic National Committee, was in fact an officer of Russia’s military intelligence directorate (GRU), The Daily Beast has learned. It’s an attribution that resulted from a fleeting but critical slip-up in GRU tradecraft.

That forensic determination has substantial implications for the criminal probe into potential collusion between President Donald Trump and Russia. The Daily Beast has learned that the special counsel in that investigation, Robert Mueller, has taken over the probe into Guccifer and brought the FBI agents who worked to track the persona onto his team.

I call bullsh*t on the premise of the article that Guccifer 2.0 was the DNC hacker.

That is quite a stretch.

I guess Julian Assange is actually a bald guy with a Cat and he runs Spectre too.

It has been conclusively proved that the DNC computers were never “hacked” from a remote source.

The information was obtained by a DNC insider who physically accessed the DNC computers.

Geez. Bobby Mueller’s payroll must be outrageous. Americans shouldn’t wait for Trump. Americans need to demand little Bobby be given a pink slip and sent on his merry way with his merry band of Clintoon cronies. Enough is enough of this DNC commie fiasco.

“special counsel in that investigation, Robert Mueller, has taken over the probe into Guccifer and brought the FBI agents who worked to track the persona onto his team.”

Mueller, usurper and parasite.

Can’t we get Judicial Watch to file a FOIA request for the amount of money spent to date on this special council?

Isn’t the daily beast one of those fake news purveyors?

I think the hacker into the DNC servers is no longer in a position to hack anything.

And the Democrat’s position on this is that the emails were legitimate, but the people should never have seen them since they revealed just how corrupt and power mad the left is.

A curious thought:

What if this is a deal that Mueller struck with Guccifer 2.0 to lie against Trump to get out of his conviction and jail time?

Inquiring minds want to know...

Maybe but Mueller can investigate him for 20 years based on less.

The inquisitor always proves the witch.

I note that Kevin Poulsen, of “Free Kevin” fame, is on the byline. I wonder what he contributed.

B.S. Desperate attempt to keep the “hack” angle alive. It was an inside job using a thumb or external hard drive; which can be determined by how quickly data was downloaded. Hacks are much slower.
