The CIA’s Remote Devices Branch’s UMBRAGE group collects and maintains a substantial library of attack techniques ‘stolen’ from malware produced in other states including the Russian Federation. With UMBRAGE and related projects the CIA cannot only increase its total number of attack types but also misdirect attribution by leaving behind the “fingerprints” of the groups that the attack techniques were stolen from.

They’re setting Trump up. Seth Rich was a leaker but Hillary took care of that problem.

What is GRU IP address?

They didn't put it in the article. You can ping gru.ru. It's 66.96.149.32, and it doesn't respond to pings, but that address is administered from an office a short drive from where I live. So, no cigar on that one!

However, the article did claim the IP led back to a specific GRU officer working out of a specific office in Moscow. How they would know the identity of the officer beats me. Normally, an office would be using a NAT router, and all its computers would have the same WAN address (unless going through a VPN), and that's all the logs would show. Unless the NSA had penetrated the office and installed malware on the officer's computer.

Or unless they're just making it up!

It's likely they made a claim too far, i.e., that the IP led to a specific individual rather than a general location. Folks who make claims too far expose themselves as liars.

In any case, the GRU would have to be unbelievably incompetent not to have safeguards in place against accidentally posting not through the VPN. But, if the NSA had somehow compromised the officer's computer, they might be able to perform ventriloquy.

The identity of Guccifer was discussed months ago on the Free Republic. The conclusion surrounding Guccifer 2.0 concedes that the account was a fake persona with strong forensics evidence that it was created by the DNC to support a false-flag operation implicating Russia. Evidence indicated that Guccifer 2.0 was the DNC posing as Russia posing as a Romanian hacker.

Ridiculous propaganda. A brazen insult to human intelligence.

You can't cite Assange's statements as evidence of anything because he's going to lie to protect his sources.

If he changed his story or backed away from his denials, that's all the more reason to distrust what he says.
