Russian Hackers Believed to Have Breached Clinton Foundation Computers
NBC News ^ | June 22, 2016 | PETE WILLIAMS and KEN DILANIAN

Russian hackers are believed to have breached the computers of the Clinton Foundation — and appear to be the same cyber spies who swiped confidential files from the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton campaigns, officials familiar with the investigation told NBC News.

Three private security firms have concluded the hackers are Russian, and some security experts say Russian intelligence could be behind the attacks and want to interfere in the U.S. presidential election.

So what could be the hackers' end game?

The Democratic National Committee said the operation was part of a Russian disinformation campaign. But some U.S. officials believe the goal is something more menacing: espionage.

How dumb would it be to have incriminating info on that server. More likely it was scrubbed squeaky clean and knowingly open up for a hack “see we are a clean non profit there is no there there”

Trey Gowdy should just go to Moscow to complete his investigation.

“...perhaps with an eye toward helping Donald Trump. “

Hey Sherlock reporter, maybe, just maybe, they’re hedging on a HRC victory, and letting her know they’ve got dirt on her.

Talking point for the Hillary campaign and Clinton Crime Family Foundation that the Russians are supporting Trump and attempting to influence the election.

I hear the hackers stole the information from 800 raw files. I sure hope someone asks Hillary what she is going to do to secure those 800 files?

The circle of Clinton lies meets it's starting point! Amazing!

“There has never before been a direct intervention in American politics by a foreign power that was this bold and went to these lengths,”

So if a bunch of FOREIGN MUSLIM COUNTRIES give $22 MILLION DOLLARS to HILLARY’S Election campaign, it isn’t “Influence”???

When are Journalists going to be DRUG TESTED and go through a BACKGROUND CHECK before Being allowed to use these HIGH CAPACITY Transmission Devices?

The hacker leaking the documents has said he’s Romanian and used Russian metadata to create a false trail.

You suppose Putin has realized revealing the corruption of Hillary and the DNC to be in his interest? It sure is in our interest.

We all know about Hellary’s expertise with Cyber Security.

They probably figured out her password was HumaPie.

**************

The media’s protective strategy is clear: Anything revealed that is damaging to Hillary Clinton is conveniently ascribed to Russian interference in the U.S. presidential election. So we should disregard her scandals, lies, and corruption and blame the wicked Russians instead of Hillary, who incidentally has already allowed herself to be manipulated by numerous foreign doners.

I am suspicious that NBC has decided to report on this. I smell a rat.

Its easier for the DNC, Clinton campaign and their allies in the media to blame the Russians. Make them the bad guys because nobody knows anything about Romania; its not a familiar country to most people and therefore not useful to cast as the culprit.

"attempting to influence the election."

Elections are not static. Every voter and every word spoken by anyone is supposed to influence elections. As a matter of fact, most elections start with an outcome and work their way backwards using influence to secure that outcome.

SUPER SUPER SUPER

If we have to count on the Russians to bring the Clintons down, who’s going to complain?
