Russia Hacked Republican Committee but Kept Data, U.S. Concludes
DAVID E. SANGER and SCOTT SHANE DEC. 9, 2016
WASHINGTON — American intelligence agencies have concluded with “high confidence” that Russia acted covertly in the latter stages of the presidential campaign to harm Hillary Clinton’s chances and promote Donald J. Trump, according to senior administration officials.
They based that conclusion, in part, on another finding — which they say was also reached with high confidence — that the Russians hacked the Republican National Committee’s computer systems in addition to their attacks on Democratic organizations, but did not release whatever information they gleaned from the Republican networks.
In the months before the election, it was largely documents from Democratic Party systems that were leaked to the public. Intelligence agencies have concluded that the Russians gave the Democrats’ documents to WikiLeaks.

This thing is a never-ending conspiracy theory living in Dem land for years to come.
I find the liberal “Russia” stuff rather hilarious. Talk about conspiracy theories. The Democrats all have lost their minds.
#6. You ask the right question - “Which agencies”? Would you trust anything Clapper, Brennan, Jeh Johnson and even Comey say anymore?
That leaves the NSA, DIA and Secret Service out there to answer the question, but they can’t and shouldn’t.
This whole “hacking” thing is hacking me off.
I think the intel agencies reportedly involved got their information from the same guy Harry Reid did re Romney not paying his income taxes for years. Some guy Harry met at the Bunny Ranch, no doubt.
1932?
That was when Slimes reporter Walter Duranty received a Pulitzer Prize for his whitewash of what was going on in the Soviet Union at the time.
No argument. I was just touring Bizarro world.
I wonder how long it will take before the NYT starts backpedaling.
FYI Julian Assange specifically said he didn’t get the Podesta emails from the Russians. Podesta just had an easy to crack password and whoever got through it dumped the whole database and sent it to Assange.
That someone was not Russian.
This Russia canard is as bogus as the global warming canard. Democrats just make fake crap up, then push it using academia and the media and the brain dead leftists everywhere lap it up.
They don’t have the recount any longer so now they’re going to create that Trump is the Moscowvian candidate controlled by Putin. They have no issues, they have no program to solve problems, they just have made up B.S. like always.
They are a plague of crap.
So let me guess, there was nothing interesting to release on the RNC. The general public already knows that they’re stupid and lazy.
NYT’s probably trying to cover for the Podesta Group’s lobbying for Russia by shifting blame to Manafort, who also worked in behalf of Russian government.
Russia employs a lot of US PR and lobbying firms. And Tillerson’s Exxon lost a lot of money due to sanctions on Russia over Ukraine. Meanwhile, John Bolton, advocate of dangerous belligerence toward Russia, is considered a SoS candidate. Weird stuff going on I don’t get!
"senior administration officials"Bitter, lame duck, senior administration officials clinging to the dregs of Hopey-Changey.
Exactly. Why is anyone believing this?
The Russians hacked both the DNC and the RNC but we just today find out about the RNC? Were those super patriots at the NYT keeping it secret at the request of the government?
It’s painfully obvious that Hillary is in dire need of a cover story to explain why she lost the election. Too many people have caught on to the truth—she lost because she’s a horrible person who ran a horrible campaign.
Pickles was gonna nuke em.
These “unattributed” “senior administration officials” stories are fake news until they get out on the record with their “evidence”.
Otherwise this is just name calling and arm waving.
US concludes concludes my ass. It’s the Obama Administration.
Lefties are butt-hurt that the Russians aren’t in bed with them like the Soviets used to be.
This coming from the same paper that pushed the lie, “hands up don’t shoot” lie that got cops killed.
This is coming from the same paper that said Hillary would win the election and Trump did not have a chance lie.
This is coming from the same paper that blames Benghazi on a Youtube video that almost no one watched.
Al they do is lie, lie and lie.
The NY TIMES LIES.... They are FAKE NEWS.
Everything they say is an inverted lie. Don’t waste your time believing their Bull$hit.
Fakenews.
