The DNC email scandal explained
cnn.com ^ | Tal Kopan

Posted on 07/25/2016 12:21:33 PM PDT by ColdOne

Here's what you need to know about the leak. How do we know this is the work of Russia? Cybersecurity experts who initially responded to the DNC hack identified two distinct groups of hackers operating in the system -- one who had exclusively gone after the party's opposition research file on Donald Trump, and one that had been snooping on DNC emails for about a year. Both were recognized as known Russian military or intelligence-affiliated hacking operations. Crowdstrike, the firm that responded to the hack, tracks dozens of advanced cyberespionage operations, many affiliated with governments. Each group has distinct ways of attacking their targets, down to the malicious software signatures they use. Several cybersecurity firms have verified Crowdstrike's findings that the perpetrators of the DNC attack were the two known Russian groups, and there is no evidence independent hackers could be separately responsible for the leaks.

Title should have been “The DNC Email Scandal Whitewashed.”

Aha, I was wrong. It was Guccifer 2.0, I guess he gave to Wikileaks.

More likely it’s the Mossad who would prefer that Her Thighness not be sitting in the Oval Office on the day Iran conducts its first nuke test.

I want to know who the hackers are so I can thank them for exposing the corrupt media and their corrupt partners in the democrat party.

“Here’s what you need to know about the leak.”

There was nothing anyone needs to know in the article.

The author gives almost no information. She provides a lot of Democrat Party spin.

The article was probably written by Clinton operatives.

The question still remains though, expose them to who? The idiots that are fooled by these lies are too busy following Beyoncé for this to make any difference. Stupid is REALLY hard to defeat!

Ahh, the Russians hacked the server, but don’t believe anything they are posting because they want Trump as President.

Clinton has accumulated a lot of enemies over the years. Probably 100 times more than JFK did.

Since what we’re hearing doesn’t pass the smell test, here’s an off-the-wall, out of the box thought. I have been saying that I do not know how the Intelligence Community in THIS country allows Hilly to be elected president after what she did with her private server. She outed sources and methods, she destroyed billions in collection resources that have been built up over years, she very likely has gotten people killed and has given all sorts of highly sensitive info to our enemies. What if ... this is a deep cover “inside” job to take Hilly down, made to look like the Russians and done in such a way that Hilly cannot blame the Intelligence Community? Obama wouldn’t even know about it, or the DOJ/FBI. A lot of people in the Intelligence Community are VERY unhappy with what Hilly did and the fact that she’s not accountable for any of it - they have the connections to do this.

Yet another reckless slanderous hit piece attempting to tie Trump to foreign enemy governments.

How else were they supposed to defend all this?

It’s total bull sh*t.

Maybe Hillary could spend as many years in Siberia as she has spent enriching herself at the expense of working Americans.
