According to outgoing CIA chief John Brennan, there's an intelligence report due to come out soon that details the evidence they have on the alleged Russian hacking of the DNC.


CIA chief addresses ‘doubters’ of Russian hacking report (link)

BY LARISA EPATKO January 3, 2017 at 6:22 PM EST

Outgoing CIA Director John Brennan said Tuesday that those who doubt the connection between Russia and the hacking of Democratic Party email accounts, leading up to November’s election, should take a look at the forthcoming intelligence report “before they make those judgments.”

President-elect Donald Trump, among others, has questioned the assessment that Russia is behind the hacking, citing past intelligence community mistakes, including the finding of no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

“In the aftermath of that, there was a total review of the review process and the analytic process and the assessments that are done with the intelligence community with a number of steps that were taken to ensure that we’re going to be as accurate as possible,” said Brennan in an exit interview with PBS NewsHour co-anchor Judy Woodruff.

“And so, it’s been light-years since that report on Iraq WMD has been done and there has been tremendous further development, I think, of our analytic capabilities as well as our intelligence-collecting capabilities,” Brennan said.

“I would suggest to individuals that have not yet seen the report, who have not yet been briefed on it, that they wait and see what it is that the intelligence community is putting forward before they make those judgments,” he said.

A joint FBI-Department of Homeland Security report released on Dec. 29 has linked Russian intelligence services to the hacking of the Democratic National Committee and Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta. President Barack Obama has requested an additional report from the intelligence community.

Brennan says the US Intel community is the best in the world -no doubt it is.
What i'm wondering about is their conclusions. To be fair they draw conclusions from whatever evidence is there;
but it becomes a question of how they want to process it..

anyways..my new pet theory is the Russians did the hacking -but didn't release thru WIKILEAKS.

That's a big deal because it was supposed to influence the election -and if it wasn't Russia working thru
WIKI- then WIKI' s releases weren't done/directed by the Russians
 
Regardless of what the report ends up saying, the truth is that many hackers in this world are going to attempt whatever they can to hack into major U.S. institutions and major political sources. Our main problem is that under this administration, there didn't seem to be a serious effort to thwart these attempts or attacks that have already occurred. And I don't believe if Hillary had won, that the media would be anywhere near obsessed with this topic as they are now, and they would've given their first-born for somebody to have hacked into Republican emails. If this report says anything, I hope it says exactly what Russia successfully hacked, and how exactly that directly led to Trump's victory, since that is what the major implication has been from the Democratic party even before the report was ever released to anybody...

Assange says Wiki didn't receive the hacked emails from Russia or any state. If it wasn't an insider from NSA, then maybe one of the team of guys that set up Hillary's private server??? And, all those devices she had, plus sending and receiving stuff from Podesta who had an insanely simple password, "password123". Good grief, I wouldn't think it would take a sophisticated government hack from either the U.S. or Russia.

Wow, I started that thread and I don't even remember it! Add that to the fact that Bill Clinton lost the nuclear biscuit and didn't tell anyone!

They were talking this morning about the use of what is known in the intelligence community as a "cutout". A cutout is a third party go-between that acts on behalf of an agency that wants to conceal its involvement. If the Russian govt was involved, which it seems more and more likely that it was, Assange would not have known about it.

As one Congressman said, for the Russians, Assange was likely nothing more than a "useful idiot".

its our entire intel field you partisan hack


you dnt even know what it feels like to put country over party traitor
 
a cut out could be it. That would make Assange's statement righteous. It would provide Putin the plausible deniability.
Although that makes it more difficult to say "Putin did it"..

"At this point what difference does it make" ( HRClinton) - feed the Congress their blood -Obama is out -and then maybe we can
get past this Kabuki

The idea that you and others feel it's OK that Russia used subterfuge to influence the outcome of a US Presidential election in order to get their preferred candidate in office, a candidate that has extensive business dealings in Russia and who is likely deeply in debt to Russian banks, some or all of which Vladimir Putin is a part owner of, is very disturbing indeed.

Possibly even more disturbing than the Russians' actions themselves.

Hacking is as common as breathing. "Subterfuge?" -I'm SHOCKED -SHOCKED I TELL YOU that gentlemen read other gentlemen's mail.

If the Clinton Emails -you know the one's she repeatedly LIED ABOUT weren't out there -published by her own State dept.-
then maybe i could give a damn. Those were the same Emails the "effected the election"
She had to go on an 18 month bender of lying to keep up with what the releases showed.

The DNC was about the primary =again maybe if the DNC wasn't so corrupt Bernie would have won, and Bernie could have beaten Trump.

The Podesta Emails showed utter cam paign confusion, but had little to show about Hillary other then her staff had to work around her shenanigans.
But if it helps you sleep at night with "the Russians did it" -fine by me. Just MoveOn come Jan 20th is all I care.

The Russians didn't hack the election/influence the election -that loss is all on Clinton

Newsflash stooge, a political party favoring ITS OWN CANDIDATE OVER AN INDEPENDANT WHO ONLY JOINED THAT PARTY FOR HIS OWN POLITICAL ADVANTAGE...... IS NOT "CORRUPTION".

The word CORRUPTION implies BREAKING THE LAW for some financial or other gain.

The DNC - - - BROKE NO LAWS.

Ergo.... NO CORRUPTION.

You're so desperate for any excuse you can find to support the Russians meddling in a US election, simply because of your irrational Clinton hating hard on.
