The DNC email scandal explained
cnn.com ^ | Tal Kopan

Posted on 07/25/2016 12:21:33 PM PDT by ColdOne

Here's what you need to know about the leak. How do we know this is the work of Russia? Cybersecurity experts who initially responded to the DNC hack identified two distinct groups of hackers operating in the system -- one who had exclusively gone after the party's opposition research file on Donald Trump, and one that had been snooping on DNC emails for about a year. Both were recognized as known Russian military or intelligence-affiliated hacking operations. Crowdstrike, the firm that responded to the hack, tracks dozens of advanced cyberespionage operations, many affiliated with governments. Each group has distinct ways of attacking their targets, down to the malicious software signatures they use. Several cybersecurity firms have verified Crowdstrike's findings that the perpetrators of the DNC attack were the two known Russian groups, and there is no evidence independent hackers could be separately responsible for the leaks.

CNN followers are trained not to go that far, just stay in the box CNN places before them. Of course the Russkys are not the only ones who can pull up the files from the hillabitch grafted files for profit. The NSA also has all that data and more.

It was Assange. The rumor of Russians came from the demoted John Schindler.

Watch Assange’s interview - it starts after about a minute, towards the end, very clear.

Yeah. All you want to know about this from CNN.

Not even worth the electrons transmitted.

They don’t want to admit it’s John Schindler, who got offed from the Naval War College in the last day or so, due to raunchy twitters.

No one has said only Dems were hacked. In fact if you listen to Assage’s interview above, he mentions other stuff he has that appears to cross party lines, regarding buying politicians.

“Each group has distinct ways of attacking their targets, down to the malicious software signatures they use.”

Call me crazy, but if a hacking group linked to the Russian government is going to hack into servers impacting the US presidential election, I seriously doubt they would leave obvious fingerprints tying them to the Russian govt. Sorry but this doesn’t pass the smell test.

Good hypothesis. I can’t understand why the Russians would want to derail Her Weakness in favor of Trump, who’d more than likely challenge the growth of Russian influence where it crossed paths with ours.

For drive bys and low information voters,here’s what you need to know about the leaked DNC Emails: They show the Democrats are cheats and bigots They show that the DNC rigged the Democrat primary so Hillary would win and that they insult Jews and other groups behind their backs.

Thats right.

"CNN has been blaming the Russians.... Trump.... anyone.

Other than Dem incompetence and corrupt Hillary.

not a peep of denial on content of emails from DNC.

it's the "no blood/no foul" defense:

if you wouldn't have hacked in here and found these email, nobody would know and no body would have been hurt & everything would be ok.

so, she's gotta blame today's problem on trump.

kinda like blaming the nation's economic problems on dubya 7 1/2 years after he left office.

As long as the criminality of the DNC and the hag are exposed, “What difference at this point does it make” who hacked the DNC emails?

Give them time.

It will eventually come to that, that foreign hostiles ‘implanted’ those emails, so the peons should trust anything that leaked out. “Move along”!

don’t forget that the same computer consultant that set up the DNC server set up hildabeast’s State dept server, iirc from what has been posted here.

so, if DNC system could be hacked you can bet that Hildabeast’s state home server has been hacked and those emails are out there somewhere........

So why was it Assange/Wikileaks that "leaked them"???? Where do I go to see the Russian email dump?

Donald Trump is bringing about regime change via the election process. He doesn’t need Vlad’s help. Hillary brought about regime change in Libya by murdering Moamar Gadaffi. It’s what she knows to do. Was Vlad mad at the uranium deal that Bill and Hillary piped through their international RICO organization? Did Barry not give enough flexibility to Putin after the election, thus Putin takes it out on Hillary via Assange and, by a convoluted extension, Trump? The FBI will get to the bottom of all of this....trust them.
