In the aftermath of the fallout from the DNC server hack, the Democrats have been scrambling how to redirect public anger (especially among Bernie Sanders supporters) from the revelations that not only did the Democratic party try everything in its power to sabotage Bernie Sanders presidential bid, but also colluded with various "impartial" media outlets as well as breach fundraising rules in the process.
And, as of this morning, it appears that the solution they have decided upon is not to explain or even justify the scandalous actions, but to simply blame Russia for the hack.

Except... there is a problem with this "disturbing", if very amusing, tangent.
As The Hill reported, it wasn't some mysterious, Kremlin-based hacker/operator that provided the emails to Wikileaks. It was the Romanian hacker Guccifer 2.0 (not to be confused with the original Romanian hacker Guccifer, aka Marcel Lazar, who is currently in US custody and whose email revelations over a year ago unleashed the scandal involving Hillary's email server in the first place), well-known for previously leaked hundreds of internal DNC memos on his own website.
It is the same Guccifer 2.0 who, following allegations that he was working for Russia, conducted the following interview with Motherboard where he said the following:

Is he for real? Or is he GRU/SVR?
Methinks he is all about him, himself, superhacker!
Why would Putin need to help Trump? — he already has access to Hillarys server, thanks to her “reckless carelessness,” or whatev it was termed.....
Clinton flack asserts the alleged Russian hack on national TV, with zero evidence, and is allowed to change the whole story to
“Russia helps Trump” despite the total absence of evidence. What happened to discussing and analyzing the actual CONTENT of the DNC emails?
The mediascum is in the pocket of the Democrats, every time.
.
Says the Party that Promoted Susan Rice, said Bill was “minstering” young interns, sent Sandy Berger in to steal classified docs, and raided a YouTube Video maker to save the Myth that Hillary was competent.
There’s as much evidence to blame Russia as there is Romney hasn’t paid his taxes for Ten years.

Huuuuh “capitalism” is not really the point !
It is much more about foreign policy ...
BUT what about Saudi Arabia and others funding “Clean”ton hilliary ?
RUSSIA is welcome ! Anyway mails are a REALLITY poor libtard crying babies
Bragged about lying, ON VIDEO, that POS!!!
Yes, but that's why we need facts to shoot back. Hopefully the Trump-campaign picks up on this as well. They can have lots of fun with it.
And btw this is a weak and bad try of distraction-backstrike
Who benefits from all this? Trump, maybe a little bit, but Obama for sure. He is not running for president, but could be recruited on an emergency basis to continue. Do not Obama and the Soviet veteran Putin have the same goal? To weaken the U.S. and send her into chaos so that they gain a lot more power?
so Dems just want to blame for being hacked, not take responsibility for the fact many things they do and were doing are wrong?
And the proper answer to the Dims: You're fired!
They should just blame a Video. It worked before.
Echo chamber journalists.
The Russian deflection is weak sauce anyhow, as it pretty much confirms the authenticity of the emails.
It’s likely that any aspect of an internet message, including metadata, can be spoofed.
