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 Russias military intelligence directorate (GRU), The Daily Beast has learned. Its 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.

Yeah. Julian Assange has stated the emails did not come from the Russian’s. Then there’s the CIA tool to make it look like their hacking came from Russian computers. It’s all just claims with no substance, so it is irrelevant except to the fools that hang on to every accusation made.

Sure is funny how the leaks of DNC emails to Wikileaks stopped when Seth Rich was assassinated I mean accidentally shot twice in a "botched robbery".
That is one amazing coincidence. Sure is funny that Wikileaks offered a reward for info on the killer(s) and the DNC did ZERO. Sure are amazing coincidences.

I thought the FBI had not been allowed to investigate the DNC servers.

even if true... no dust falls on Pres. Trump.
All this was found out under Pres. Obama’s watch and nothing was done ?

Of course the FIB never did look at Hitlery’s compromised server or the DNC’s dirty drives.

And Obama’s FIB has been known to plant false stories and “leaks” in the press.

If Guccifer is a Russian intel agent what better way for Russia to attack the US than to have him claim he hacked the DNC and colluded with Trump to release it? It’s a misinformation campaign.

Guccifer 2.0 was supposedly the hacker that did the phishing scam of Podesta and never part on the supposed server hack
This article is misleading bullshit and you can not say you track to specific hacker forensically because you can pretend by using someone else’s tools and techniques

Julian Assange has stated the emails did not come from the Russians.
That makes it more likely that they did.
You can count on Julian to protect his sources.

Guccifer was pretty clearly a CIA-type invention. And they can put whatever supposed accidental or whatever fingerprints from whatever country on this stuff now—it proves nothing.
To: Magnatron
The interesting claims in the article:
- Guccifer 2.0 forgot to turn on his VPN at least once, and was found to be posting from a GRU IP address in Moscow. If true, Guccifer is busted. Or maybe framed, if the GRU wanted to claim him (he was actually claiming to be a Moldovan with a suspicious attitude towards Mother Russia).
- The article cites a WSJ article, dated 25 May 2017, claiming a Florida GOP operative, Aaron Nevins, requested info from Guccifer 2.0 and received 2.5gb of DNC stuff, which proved useful in the Florida race.
It doesn't prove anything about DJT, other to point out that, if Trump had been colluding, it would not have been necessary to invent Guccifer 2.0 to convey him GRU intel.
