The DNC email scandal explained

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.

I have no doubt that the Russians hacked the DNC and the Clinton Foundation and every other organization of interest. That does not preclude any other organization or individual nerd from also hacking these some targets. The Agencies are only interested in showing that a particular government has done it in order to plant the belief that that government is the only hacker.

lol. Why does it matter where it came from?

What matters is the content.

And it’s terrible stuff.

Alphabets are washed up.

Odd.

The dnc (does not care) party apparatus IS researching VERY earnestly WHO LEAKED St Hillary’s emails and the dnc’s organized efforts to crown her queen, but doesn’t seem to care AT ALL about what is IN those emails at all.

Of course, if they were obtained illegally or immorally (like the divorce files of Obola’s opponents in Illinois!) THEN it would be all right to release them, right?

As I heard on the radio a few minutes ago, the Russians did NOT write the emails.

They are just pissed that it got released, by anybody.

Why do I not believe a word of this?

The FBI would not put this information out if they even have it now. It would be to kindly to describe CNN as the Clinton's Butt Boys. A true description of CNN would get me banned.

CNN is lying, it is that simple.
