OBAMA and the DEMS are scrambling. They aren’t used to accountability and scrutiny on their dirty dealings.

Ain't it the truth! And the Dems, along with their enablers in the Establishment and Media (but I repeat myself), look more and more like the utter, detached fools that they truly are.

Americans are going to overwhelmingly reject the race-baiting Democrat party, along with its overtly divisive identity politics.

The American people, with the diligent leadership of President Donald Trump, are going to establish a broad national consensus on a myriad of issues— trade, infrastructure, jobs, defense, energy, education, health care, veteran affairs, etc.— and the Democrats (and the Uni-party in general) aren't going to know what hit them!

And the disruptive malcontents who don't climb aboard the Trump Train are either going to get left in the dust, or run over...

I’m glad this is coming to light. I wonder if the [MSM] is going to report this accurately.

Don't wonder. They won't report it accurately...

Didn’t believe it for a second. Just more manufactured garbage and how miraculous that they whipped out the ‘report’ in lickity split time right after they started spinning “The Russians Did It” bullshit narrative. Anyone that bought it hasn’t learned a damn thing these last eight years. Oh, and McCain should be put in a straight jacket, STAT!

I’m not a “expert” but I know enough that reading the report proved to me that the “report” is just a bunch of disconnected data that proves nothing - especially about election hacking.

I googled the Yara rule PAS_TOOL_PHP_WEB_KIT and found a good discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13279600. Many other discussions were political and I ignored them (although I agree with the politics). Others simply pointed out that this IOC was about as weak an IOC as one can get..

A general point of agreement was that Crowdstrike who apparently provided all of the evidence is not the least bit neutral. They have some demonstrated competency but did not present any well organized evidence in their blog posts.

Another point of agreement was that the attack was as amateurish as possible. No zero days even though those Russian groups create and use their own zero days. No rootkit (the PHP shell makes no effort to hide itself). Potentially that means amateurish techniques were used to make it look like it was done by amateurs.

Thus there is general agreement that the government claim that this was a highly sophisticated attack is completely false. There is also agreement even among those who think it was Russians that there is no proof of Russian involvement just allegations and circumstantial evidence that could easily be created by any other hacker.

If it was a Republican administration trying to pull this crap, MSNBC would have Bill Gates on, discrediting their story? Why nothing from our Republican leadership?
