ASPEN, Colo. (Reuters) - Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, speaking about the hack of Democratic Party emails, said on Thursday the U.S. intelligence community was not ready to "make the call on attribution" as to who was responsible.
The White House said earlier the FBI had not disclosed any information about who was behind the hack.
Cyber security experts and U.S. officials said on Monday there was evidence that Russia engineered the release of sensitive Democratic Party emails in order to influence the U.S. presidential election.
The emails were released by the anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks on the eve of the Democratic National Convention, and appeared to show that the Democratic National Committee favored Hillary Clinton over her chief rival, U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders.
Clapper, speaking at the Aspen Security Forum, acknowledged that "there’s just a few usual suspects out there" who might be responsible for the cyber intrusion, suggesting it was the work of a nation-state rather than an independent hacking group.
"We don’t know enough to ascribe motivation," he said. "Was this just to stir up trouble, or was this ultimately to try to influence an election? That’s a serious proposition."
Russian officials have dismissed the allegations of Moscow's involvement.

And why isn't the media making issue of the fact that the non-profit organizations that keep these servers have a fiduciary responsibility to keep them secure?
Donor names, addresses and SSN#'s were compromised and published. If I were one of them I would SUE the DNC.
he’s dead ,shot twice in the back
How can the release of innocent emails back and forth between the media and the DNC influence an election?
I guessing die hard Bernie supporters...
I’m guessing die-hard Bernie supporters...
That is my guess also.
.....The surest sign yet that it wasn’t the Russians.....
You got it!!!!
Leave it to the Dims to “blame the Russians” to deflect attention from their own operatives!!!!
In other words, they don’t have clue one.
The guy who gave the info to Asange was a DNC staffer named Rich. Her was shot in DC a couple of weeks ago. he apparently was also involved in some testimony. No doubt he was a whistle blower who was sanctioned by Bill or Hillary or maybe Soros.
the Russian angle was manufactured in the first place. some Clinton campaign apparatchik made the baseless claim that Russia was responsible for the hack, CNN reported the claim with some vaguely supportive quote from some hitherto unheard of “expert”, and from that point on, the clintonites ceaselessly cited the media report. the entire MSM then reported the Clinton citation of the cnn reports of the original baseless Clinton claim. It’s a circle.
it’s the go-to play for this pack of hyenas. we will see it constantly for the next 100 days.
will they arrest Trump ,LOL
+1
He flew all the way to Aspen, CO to report on an crime that occurred in Washington DC?
“Cyber security experts and U.S. officials said on Monday there was evidence that Russia engineered the release “
I thought this was cute. It was actually a DNC staffer who said this, not Cyber Security Experts. The DNC put this statement out the very hour that Wikileaks posted the information. It’s all a smokescreen to take away humiliation
That is, the DNC with the usual MSM help is blowing smoke that the evil Russian Putin is attempting to influence the US election through surreptitiously supporting Trump.
This year’s version of Lt. Quarles Harris Jr
I thought Comey said they couldn’t be sure that Hillary’s server had been hacked? /s
Ah, the late Leiutenant Quarles Harris, Jr., born 7 March 1983, died 18 April 2008, SSN 578-11-2856. LOL!
His first name, not a rank in anything, misspelled or not, was Leiutenant
. He was not a lieutenant in any police force or military organization. He was a small-time identity thief who was using information fed to him by accomplices in the State Department to apply for fraudulent credit cards.
He had been arrested the month before and was found in possession of 21 credit cards not his own, copies of eight passport applications not his own, and some grass (the excuse for the search). After his arrest, Harris reportedly agreed to cooperate in the investigation.
It is likely his accomplices neutralized him for that reason.
I don’t believe it’s the Russians. That doesn’t make sense. Hillary is in bed with the Russian government.
Yep. They got stuck on the 2nd proxy server in the Netherlands, demanded the info from them and were probably told to kiss it, you Muslim loing ba$tard$...
