Yes. This is expected. Anyone in this field sees what a vapid report it was.
Nothing that comes out of this administration is ever true. All lies all the time. A few RINOs are just as bad.
I despise these people.
“...Experts Destroy White House ‘Proof’ of Russian Hacking...”

White Houe: “The dog ate my proof!!!!”
We got some good people. Some very skilled folk at the CDC, for example. They have their own cyberthreat monitoring center. And those guys are good. VERY good. I could tell you a story, but I cannot.
But this report? Pure crap.
They either assigned unskilled folks to do this, or — much more likely — they had nothing.
No proof of a Russian hack whatsoever. All lies.

But ... but ... what about CIA sources?
I have zero trust in the CIA. They have zero credibility with me. Same for the media.
I'm not even in the field and I can see how bad that report is. Most of it is suggestions on how to be secure with your computer ( which Podesta might not have read). I'm certainly an end user, and we have a higher level of security on our networks at the office because it is considered critical infrastructure.
It was a mad-dash hastily-assembled ‘report’ that was largely lifted from boilerplate.
No ma'am. Seth Rich is dead.
‘Russian hacking’-the fakest of fake new-unbelievable! It just used to be the msm, now it’s the government-what a bit nth of 3rd world tinpot liars.
Might I suggest that your description of the 'culprit' fits almost perfectly to Seth Rich ?
Lee used the wrong word. "Tradecraft" is a word reserved to the intelligence community. In the Information Technology community, we call it "Best Practices".
Wow. That Putin is awesome. First he engineers the Brexit referendum, so Brexit wins (against all expectations). Then he engineers the US Presidential election, so Trump wins (against all expectations). Now he’s engineering the French political scene so that the two candidates for President who oppose Russian sanctions (Fillon and Le Pen) are leading the pack.
And no one can prove he’s doing it. Wow. Just wow.
....except that Seth Rich is dead.
Bmk
I took one look at the report and knew right away it was just mumbo jumbo. Just like fake articles once shared the original author have no control of where and how they will be used. These malware can have legs of their own. Who knows if the US government are using these same malware to take down our Government and then blame other countries on doing so?
Oh, I acknowledge that Seth Rich is a distinct possibility. Very, very distinct. I’m just saying that if it wasn’t him, it was some other Bernie supporter... who is now hiding in a basement.
I’m about as techie as an Amish Grandma, and even I can see what a vapid report it is. My take on the report is that it is intentionally vague enough that the administration can use it (intelligence was undoubtedly under tremendous pressure to produce something DNC could “use”) but also inconclusive enough that under a different administration, and different pressure, they can say, “Well, we DID issue it with a disclaimer, and we DIDN’T say anything that was technically untrue, but we never claimed that it was conclusive....” Cover the butt on both sides, you know?

In other words, the best the Obama Admin can do is say that HRC was defeated by Fancybear and Cozyduke?
An Amish Grandma just taught me repository-based mock unit testing in C# against Azure DocumentDB using Blob storage BSON documents.
