Binney didn't say anything different than I and others said immediately following the "Crowdstrike" report release months and months ago that it was impossible for the DNC "hack" to be anything other than an inside job because of the data transfer rates going steeply downhill once the connection goes offshore and across the atlantic ocean.

I wish I'd have bookmarked it, there was an extensive thread here on FR where those of us who deal with these issues on a daily basis all collaborated together to pick apart that report, piece by piece to prove the lie that it was.

Anyone such as I who has to deal with global internet connectivity into Europe and Eastern Europe on a daily basis and all the challenges that presents for applications and data knows this. It's not rocket science, it's basic math combined with bandwidth, latency and the number of hops a packet makes between source and destination.

The entire Russian hacking narrative is one big lie in which the Democrat Party and the lying liberal lamestream media have really and truly colluded together to brainwash the American people.

Plain and simple as that.

I too am in Telecom, Security etc.

Ain’t no way it was hacked....

Well said by one involved on a daily basis. Binney actually measures the transfer rate from New Jersey to Scotland, It was 12 MPS , 25% of the data transfer rate required AND it would have mitigated badly into Easter Europe, as you know. There is NO WAY this data was internet hacked. I surmise that that was fabricated to divert from the reality that an insider was involved who was furious over the absolute fact that Bernie Sanders was getting intentionally screwed by the DNC. It was so embarrassing to the DNC that they FIRED the CHAIR WOMAN!! You cant make this up. This indictment is in shreds!!

The information Binney presents is meaningless. In this interview Binney admits that the files he analyzed to determine the transmission throughput rates were sourced from the internet. He also says that they were placed on the internet by Guccifer2. In light of those facts, the timestamps on the files (and hence the calculated transmission rates) can not be trusted to show anything other than what Guccifer2 wanted them to show.

Note: Timestamps found on data files are not like fingerprints found at a crime scene - they can easily be changed to show any value that a hacker might wish them to show.

The only fact that can be gleaned from Binney's statements is that he lied by omission. He knowingly withheld pertinent information about how the unknown provenance of the files he used in his analysis invalidates his conclusions. He is a former NSA Technical Director. He wasn't making a mistake in that interview, he was lying.

Thanks for the post.

That's not really true

I realize that is latency not throughput but throughput is similar.
