We all know that Russia, China, North Korea and Iran are constantly trying to hack US based computers. So the spooks are saying what was done by Russia was different than what they usually do?
How so? Specifically. NOPE, NOPE, NOPE, don't use generalities or appears similar to what Russia did in another situation. Specifics.
This is politically induced to hurt Trump. Dem's feel that there is a parallel Watergate where a Republican President was forced to resign because of dirty tricks at a Democratic Campaign office. They want to somehow turn the leaking of DNC computer files into a new Watergate.
The problem is that Watergate had Nixon's fingerprints all over it. The Hacking of the DNC has not Trump or Republican fingerprints. The Dem's are hoping that people are too stupid to realize the difference.
There is no evidence that any of the actual intelligence agents or analysts believe a word of this.
A few corrupt Obama appointees, a few dishonest media slime balls and a few lying politicians keep repeating the story but offer no evidence whatsoever.
