Background to “Assessing Russian Activities and Intentions in Recent US Elections”: The Analytic Process and Cyber Incident Attribution
US Government DNI ^ | Jan 6, 2017 | DNI

Did several searches and could not find this. Not going to post the whole report because of formatting, but the link is direct to the report with no extraneous BS (other than the report).

Russian efforts to influence the 2016 US presidential election represent the most recent expression of Moscow’s longstanding desire to undermine the US-led liberal democratic order, but these activities demonstrated a significant escalation in directness, level of activity, and scope of effort compared to previous operations.

We assess Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the US presidential election. Russia’s goals were to undermine public faith in the US democratic process, denigrate Secretary Clinton, and harm her electability and potential presidency. We further assess Putin and the Russian Government developed a clear preference for President-elect Trump. We have high confidence in these judgments.

The General Staff Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) probably began cyber operations aimed at the US election by March 2016. We assess that the GRU operations resulted in the compromise of the personal e-mail accounts of Democratic Party officials and political figures. By May, the GRU had exfiltrated large volumes of data from the DNC.

The source for that BS was the politically-connected Crowdstrike that did not forensic analysis and presented no evidence. Just a blog post where they claimed to "observer" Fancy Bear and whatever Bear inside the DNC server. Completely worthless as I pointed out here at that time (June 2016).

Clever...trying to take our minds off the 2020 election debacle by deflecting us back four years.

It’s not Russian Election Meddling we need to worry about destroying America.

It’s the democrat party and democrats.

Democrat voters, democrat politicians, democrat bureaucrats, democrat judges, every democrat everywhere is aiding in the destruction of America.

There is no such thing as a “Good Democrat”.

If there were “Good Democrats” they wouldn’t be democrats.

Anyone who votes democrat is voting to support the democrat party’s open corruption and open hate for the Constitution and their fellow Americans.

Palmer, you are “right on” here.

RUS has, and is causing huge problems, but the DNC has flipped the psyop script as a diversion, from their own historically deep, and actual relationship with Kryeml hierarchy.

You may well have already watched this open source discussion from much earlier this year.

Former NSA chiefs discuss PROOF agency strategically created fake RUS DNC hack —

Also gets into “Gucifer 2”

The real seditious/treasonous type activity is from the DNC itself.

Essentially, the left wing within the IC, and in this case specifically NSA, is “mirroring” and spoofing the ignorant masses, to hasten or sweep into power, left wing thugs.

Not so ironically however, in the immediate, Beijing, Moscow, and Tehran benefit the most from the corrupt left wing DNC conspiracy and power grab.

This Summer, Esper and Gen Millie demonstrated the extent of left wing infiltration.

Now, we are seeing direct proof of some DHS and CISA (and several others) efforts to manipulate and throttle this election, to get rid of Trump.

From there own mouths, begin at the 50:00 minute mark and listen here —

There have been a couple of separate yet related pieces on DHS and CISA cycled on Free Republic in the past 24 hours.

We do have some real, and likely near impossible threats from within the IC.
