The Obama administration announced sanctions on Thursday against Russia and released a report that stated that the Russian government deployed computer hackers to attack the Democratic Party’s computers.

NYT with a rather unintentionally funny diagram of the supposed "hacking". Looks like a HS Visio presentation.

So are the e-mails fake or real? I don’t care if the Martians gave them to WikiLeaks. Are they legitimate?

[henkster]

They are really pushing this meme. The irony is that 20 years ago, I could not have imagined believing the Russians more than my own government and news agencies. But here we are.

"The website released about 50,000 emails from the Democratic National Committee’s computer servers. It is unclear how WikiLeaks obtained the emails. But Russian intelligence agencies are prime suspects, researchers said." Suspects?

Russian diplomats expelled without conclusive evidence?

No mention of Wikileaks' claims it was an inside job?

wow

[OkiMusashi]

This could all be a coordinated attempt to smoke out WikiLeak’s source.

[Lorianne]

They have really jumped the shark this time.

Hey Putin, bear with us a few more weeks until we can get the whacky pouters out. The New York Times will probably not let go of the narrative though.

So there is nothing new here: DNC's emails came out, so they must have been hacked, and who would do that? Well, it must have been the Russians, so... okay, let's kick their diplomats out of the country.

Thank God Obama has that cool, clear temperament so needed to handle a crisis, unlike that loose canon Trump, who actually accepted congratulations from Taiwan, nearly starting WWIII.

Meanwhile, who killed Seth Rich and why?

[MNDude]

And because of them, we learned the DNC primary was rigged, that HRC has a public and private stance, and that Podesta is a blood\semen\breast milk eating satanist.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Rather than asking who hacked Hillary's emails, a much simpler problem is finding out who didn't. I've done it once or twice, and that was just by accident. Imagine if someone really tried.

[TheCipher]

It is unclear how WikiLeaks obtained the emails.

Hey, NYT . Why don't you bother talking to Jullian Assange ( you know, the founder and head of Wikileaks ) or just report on what he has said publicly. It is not unclear to him how he obtained the emails. He has said flat out that it was not the Russians.

[dgbrown]

Good thing they didn’t find Hilary’s emails, then we’d really have a conundrum.

[Lazamataz]

Comeon, you HAD to know that the Official Mouthpiece of the Liberal Democrat Party, the NYT, would stay 100% on script.

No matter how absurd that script was.

[Eddie01]

Who, Seth Rich? I think they smoked him already.

[libertylover]

I can hardly keep from laughing. First they tell us the stupid Russians could not have hacked Mrs. Bill Clinton’s email server, which was operating in the clear, and now they tell us the brilliant Russians hacked the DNC emails.

[libertylover]

The irony is that 20 years ago, I could not have imagined believing the Russians more than my own government...

I know. So sad.

[Terry Mross]

Every time Trump and Putin speak about this they should point out that the DNC fired the head of the organization. Apparently they understand how the voters could turn on the democrats.

Fluff piece by fluff press
Plugged by the Fluff agency, DHS, politically motivated.
By a Fluffy _resident, with jugged ears
And obviously, the NYT isn't looking for facts, just allegations..

And Assange has no reason to lie about it.

[a fool in paradise]

Since Obama claims that they were aware of the hacking BEFORE the voting in the 2016 election, why were the Democrats pressing Trump to pledge to accept the results of the vote and NOT make claims of hacking and rigging of the election (which is what Obama is now claiming and claiming he knew at the time he wanted this pledge)???

[Rainier1789]

Now if someone had hacked and released RNC or Trump campaign internal Emails, the Dims would be praising them as “whistleblowers”. But they probably couldn’t find anything that Trump hadn’t already tweeted within minutes.
