Report: DOJ weighs charging Russian officials in DNC computer hack
Fox News ^ | November 2 2017 | Brooke Singman

Posted on 11/02/2017 9:03:26 AM PDT by knighthawk

The Justice Department reportedly has garnered enough evidence to charge at least six Russian government operatives with hacking the Democratic National Committee's computers during the 2016 presidential election.

The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that federal prosecutors could bring charges earaly next year. The Journal reported that dozens of others may have also played a role in the cyberattack.

Multiple congressional probes and federal intelligence investigations are focusing on Russian interference and meddling in the 2016 presidential election. Those probes are ongoing and began even before the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller to investigate similar charges.

Since the DNC did not allow the FBI to investigate the server, how can there be real evidence? Something is fishy here! And why is the DOJ doing this while letting the Uranium One case slip by?

I agree, this is fishy. I’ve seen zero evidence that “Russia” hacked the DNC computers.

More insanity from the Vapor party, the Democrats.

It didn’t happen? Well, the Vapor party says it did, so it did.

That’s all the proof anyone needs.

The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that federal prosecutors could bring charges early next year.

If the DOJ had a case they wouldn't have to telegraph this fictional story that they might bring charges more than two months from now.

"In related news, the DOJ may file charges of Russian collusion against senior members of the Trump campaign in 2050."

WTF? LOL.

The Globalist Rats need a war with Russia to take the public attention off the recent decades of Rat/Muslim disasters in Western “Democracies”.

Fake news to give libs the reassurance that Mueller is actually on their side.

Computer security experts from the intelligence community have stated that this was an inside job (someone using a thumb drive, for example) and was not done remotely because the bandwith was not sufficient to obtain all the data in the alloted time, the record shows, that was used.

In plain english, someone inside the DNC with direct access to the server did the data transfer.

I remember reading months ago that the DNC didn’t allow the FBI to look at the computers involved with the emails that were released. Are those the same computers being talked about here?

“I’ve seen zero evidence that “Russia” hacked the DNC computers...”

You never will.

The DNC seems to have a special status of being above the law.

Any charges they level don’t have to be backed up with fact, only with baseless charges brought forth in their Ministry of Propaganda outlets.

The question is, will these subversive punks get away with their outrageous tactics or will they be recognized for what they are, what they’ve done, and treated accordingly.

(Welcome to the banana republic of the United States.)

IMHO

No mention as to whether they actually took any information/digits.

Gotta get the news focus back on track - onto the “real” threat, which is Russia. Not that wascally Islamic terrorist, who is distracting us all. Why are those dang-all Muslims distracting us from Russia? Drat.

Hi.

“Since the DNC did not allow the FBI to investigate the server, how can there be real evidence?”

Bingo!

I’ll wager that CrowdStrike destroyed their audit.

Good observation, but I think this is really aimed at getting the ludicrous reports about Donna Brazile and the DNC out of the limelight. That fat pig was complicit in passing debate questions to Hillary Clinton while working for CNN ... and she has the nerve to come out and say how upset she is that Clinton rigged the DNC primaries against Bernie Sanders? LMAO.

I wonder if this information was “leaked” from Hillary’s “seventeen intelligence agencies” (aka that nameless faceless “intelligence community”)?

Why doesn’t Congress subpoena the DNC computers?

I’m not sure what value that would have. They may not know that the computers were the same ones that were allegedly “hacked,” and you can be sure that they’ve been completely destroyed by now anyway.
