Spy Agency Consensus Grows That Russia Hacked D.N.C.
The New York Slimes ^ | July 26, 2016 | DAVID E. SANGER and ERIC SCHMITT

American intelligence agencies have told the White House they now have “high confidence” that the Russian government was behind the theft of emails and documents from the Democratic National Committee, according to federal officials who have been briefed on the evidence.

But intelligence officials have cautioned that they are uncertain whether the electronic break-in at the committee’s computer systems was intended as fairly routine cyberespionage — of the kind the United States also conducts around the world — or as part of an effort to manipulate the 2016 presidential election.

The emails were released by WikiLeaks, whose founder, Julian Assange, has made it clear that he hoped to harm Hillary Clinton’s chances of winning the presidency. It is unclear how the documents made their way to the group. But a large sampling was published before the WikiLeaks release by several news organizations and someone who called himself “Guccifer 2.0,” who investigators now believe was an agent of the G.R.U., Russia’s military intelligence service.

Fortunately for American intelligence agencies serving Obama, "consensus", as with Globull "Climate Change", is absolute proof positive that the Ruskies did it, and no DemoRats could have possibly be the Traitors among us.

Takes a "load" off my mind.

My guess is that it was a couple of 16 year old kids using an old Apple Newton to hack into the DNC e-mail files. Then they gave them to Wikileaks for a computer upgrade.

Quick! Look at the Ruskies!

Don’t pay any attention to the content of the email messages!

They can’t be certain that mass-murderers shouting “Allahu Akbar” are Mooslim jihadists, but they are certain that the GOP is in collusion with Putin.

As always with liberals, if you have no clue about what really happened, blame it on Bush or the Russians...

I don’t believe one word of this is ‘truth’. If we haven’t seen the IC REVOLT, along with the FBI about Hillary and those damned emails, then NOTHING they say or ever will say under a Democrat administration is true - or ever will be true......

If there wouldn’t have been anything in those emails that was newsworthy, this wouldn’t be in the news.

Meanwhile, Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz resigned, the DNC apologized to Bernie voters, and they are all cringing about what will be leaked next.

It ain’t the source of the leaks, it is the substance that matters.

Does that mean they have the top secret emails on HIlary’s server in a closet? Nooo, of course not. Hilary carefully hid that server under a blanket.

I don’t doubt the Russians hacked the DNC servers. But why do we assume they were exclusive?

Who was responsible for the theft is of no consequence. What is IN the emails stolen is what this is all about.

No one will believe this attempt to change the subject except the 25% diehard liberal loonies. Clinton’s is thought of as untrustworthy and a liar by fully 70% of the people and they won’t be distracted by this liberal media sideshow.

And all the ‘Intelligence’ agencies in the USA are controlled by Obama and his Dems. What cracks me up is they are trying to convince the sheeple that Putin would rather have Trump for CIC than he would like Hillary to be CIC. Hillary! Who was responsible (with the Clinton Foundation) for the transfer of how much of a percentage of US Uranium to Russian control?? Sadly, our electorate has been so dumbed down with Leftist indoctrination in our Edumacation system, that many will fall for this BS.

No doubt, but why? Did you see all the protesters flying Russian flags? It is not because of Trump, it is because the far left (communist) wing of DNC - Bernie supporters are Communists. Russians wanted to take over the Democrat Party.

Another view - quite critical of the “experts”.

Blaming the Russians is a load of bull crap. It is a hundred times more likely that this was an inside job done Bernie Supporters inside the DNC. -—We should all be thanking Julian Assange and Wikileaks for putting their lives on the line to expose the Democrats. I’m a forgive-and-forgettin’ Christian, and I say, if their rambunctiousness, and misdemeanoring, is behind them that Donald Trump should give them all a pardon if he prevails in November.
