That is what they want but unfortunately all they have is a pedo ring.

Congrats on Floridas wipeout of Iowa.

What effect were these conjectural “hacks” supposed to have? There is little likelihood that the Russians would intervene to defeat Herself, Madame Benghazi, the Cold & Joyless, just so they could deal with Trump. If anything, the Russians would have very much WANTED Herself to be the acting puppet sitting in the Oval Orifice, as they would enjoy generally little challenge to their intentions to be the dominant international superpower.

The Russians, for the most part, are relatively rational people, willing to play chess as an intellectual and shrewd game, on an international level. They saw the Current Occupant and his stooge Secretaries of State as unsophisticated and clumsy players, and did not disguise their scorn and general dislike of any of the Current Regime in the territory once known as “the United States of America”. President-Elect Donald J. Trump appears to be a much more practiced and polished player on the international scene, and moreover, is a very quick learner, which makes the challenge all the more an exercise in intellectual acuity. Trump is somebody they can actually respect. They would take an easy victory most any day, which is why they would not have explicitly harmed Herself, but knowing Herself was taking dead aim at her own foot, did not do much to help Herself either.

The Russians may have sympathies for one side or the other in this fight, but they weren’t putting any money on either.

I suspect the reference is not to a specific keyboard but rather a specific keyboard TYPE. Maybe standard issue Cyrllic.

All code is a collection of bits in a collection of standard size. If any single character dies not adhere to that standard size the entire file is corrupt and unreadable

This article is bulksh*t

I think the Gators won by default. Iowa didn’t show one iota of interest in playing this game.

Read a bit on this. The idea is that Russian hackers have an MO for hacking. And that the DNC hack carries that MO.

The problem is....that some people working on this know that MO and are capable of "creating" a Russian MO hack.

Obama loyalists playing games.

Who found out?? That kid that got murdered...Seth??

Now remember, this goes back to 2015....at least.

CNN lies. CNN lied about what was happening in Aleppo (giving the Al Qaeda narrative) and is lying about this.

My thoughts exactly....These geeks can do all kinds of cr**. I'd give them a surprise lie detector test.

I believe that's how, many years ago, we caught one of our traitors (FBI I think)....who was giving info to a Russian chick. Can you say courier??

Make sure it’s a gay pedophile website or you’re out of luck.

Good question. But after reading their report last week, am assuming they are referring to the code that was used to generate the phishing attack that trapped Podesta. But hackers codes are downloaded every day thousands of times. Great hackers write their own code. Moderate hackers modify that code. Script kiddies just use the code as is.

I don’t think it was a hack. It was a dump to wikileaks.

I’m still waiting on a single, solitary report that indicates what election system/computer was hacked. John Podesta’s email account doesn’t count.

I’m also waiting on Podesta and the DNC to tell us the leaked emails were altered, and exactly WHAT was altered.

The only thing that got hacked was the “integrity” of the Democrats.

There were no “election hacks.” The DNC is not part of the vast, decentralized US election “system,” which is actually a hodgepodge of thousands of independent systems - some of them manual - nationwide

and it took three, THREE of them to put this fake news together

That is done for plausible deniability. In case someone asks about the "anonymous source."

"I wasn't the one who talked to him." Rinse and repeat 3X.
