U.S. intel report identifies Russians who gave emails to WikiLeaks -officials
In some cases, one official said, the material followed what was called “a circuitous route” from the GRU, Russia’s military intelligence agency, to WikiLeaks in an apparent attempt to make the origins of the material harder to trace, a common practice used by all intelligence agencies, including U.S. ones.
These handoffs, the officials said, enabled WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to say the Russian government or state agencies were not the source of the material published on his website.

Time for Trump to wake up and stop playing the dog and pony show.

And how does any of this change the fact
where the SOURCE of the ORIGINAL CONTENT of the leaked emails came from?
Had anyone ALTERED the content, you might have an argument this manipulated the
election campaign beyond the fault of the people exposed.
Why is all the focus on the source of the leak
and not on the SOURCE OF THE CONTENT!!!
Or the fact that the Reuters story above says that BY OCTOBER -- it became clear to (apparently US Intel) -- but the FBI INFORMED the DNC that they were being probed almost SIX MONTHS before that !!!!!
It's awfully hard to recreate a chain of custody for the purloined data if the crime happened that long ago. Unless -- we've got wires into every nook and cranny of Russia and can play back 4 or 7 month old intel intercepts.
That's just it... CrowdStrike said they were called and started tracking the malware for months to see where it was sending the data. They knew it was there and didn't stop it, just so they could track it. They worked to get more information and not just jump the gun.
CrowdStrike was the group who said it DID not originate in the GRU.. Maybe those 2 bears were outside contractors.. But NO Intel Agency is gonna burn it's valuable sources and methods. And if Cozy and Fancy's fingerprints were the ones on it -- the GRU would NEVER compromise them as assets.
More likely Cozy and Fancy smells lots of Yankee Dollars for that information and found their OWN buyers.
Which would piss off the Russians like Snowden pissed off Clapper. Made a outright LIAR out of the clown didn't he?
Since when did CrowdStrike say that the GRU wasn't part of it? Everything I've seen said they did. Every single piece I've seen about CrowdStrike talking about this, have said the GRU was active in the hack.
