Hillary lost, not because of Russia but because she was a flawed candidate and because Obama lost over a 1000 seats and his bad policies.

If so, please explain.

If not, your point would be?



Any programmer capable of breeching computer/network security is capable of making the attack appear to have emanated from wherever they like.


If Russian intelligence did in fact hack the DNC, why wouldn't they make it look like the North Koreans, or the Iranians or some other nation?

What Crowdstrike claims to be evidence of a Russian source is "so obvious".


If the Russians did it, they intended to get caught because they would never have been so sloppy otherwise.

The Russians, and all the other first world intelligence agencies didn't leave a trail when they hacked Hillary's emails, so why would they leave a trail in the alleged hacks of the DNC?

The other question is why did the DNC refuse to allow the FBI to examine their computers/servers?
what number? You say a number of "tech experts" did some stuff, so where is it and why are they more believable than the federal government.... or is it one of those vague sorta "busloads" "wiretapp" stories..

The government didn't look at the DNC servers, only a private company did.

The DNC refused to allow the FBI to examine their computers/servers.
