You are both incorrect that Crowdstrike is the only one who has confirmed hack by Russia, there are two others Fidelis Cybersecurity and Mandiant.
This doesn't answer my questionsAs*The Hill*reported in January:
The FBI requested direct access to the Democratic National Committee’s (DNC) hacked computer servers but was denied, Director James Comey told lawmakers on Tuesday.
*
The bureau made “multiple requests at different levels,” according to Comey, but ultimately struck an agreement with the DNC that a “highly respected private company” would get access and share what it found with investigators.
*
“We’d always prefer to have access hands-on ourselves if that’s possible,” Comey said, noting that he didn’t know why the DNC rebuffed the FBI’s request.
~~
Report (JAR) “Grizzly Steppe” was released yesterday as part of the*White House’s response*to alleged Russian government interference in the 2016 election process.*It adds nothing to the call for evidence that the Russian government was responsible for hacking the DNC, the DCCC, the email accounts of Democratic party officials, or for delivering the content of those hacks to Wikileaks.
*
It merely listed every threat group ever reported on by a commercial cybersecurity company that is suspected of being Russian-made and lumped them under the heading of Russian Intelligence Services (RIS) without providing any supporting evidence that such a connection exists.
*
Unlike Crowdstrike, ESET doesn’t assign APT28/Fancy Bear/Sednit to a Russian Intelligence Service or anyone else for a very simple reason.*Once malware is deployed, it is no longer under the control of the hacker who deployed it or the developer who created it.*It can be reverse-engineered, copied, modified, shared and redeployed again and again by anyone. In other words?—?malware deployed is malware enjoyed!
*
If ESET could do it, so can others. It is both foolish and baseless to claim, as Crowdstrike does, that X-Agent is used solely by the Russian government when the source code is there for anyone to find and use at will.
*
If the White House had unclassified evidence that tied officials in the Russian government to the DNC attack, they would have presented it by now. The fact that they didn’t means either that the evidence doesn’t exist or that it is classified.
*
If it’s classified, an independent commission should review it because this entire assignment of blame against the Russian government is looking more and more like a domestic political operation run by the White House that relied heavily on questionable intelligence generated by a for-profit cybersecurity firm with a vested interest in selling “attribution-as-a-service
duplicate analysis of Crowdstrike..Ive gone over this this million times.
There is no good reason for the FBI not to do independent forensics
It very well could be that, but it isn't that the Russian hack is a hoax as annatta continues to claim.But why not let the FBI examine it, unless the DNC has something to hide?
Maybe even something to do with the millionaire Pakistani IT guy.
Republicans should call for a separate SP.
Maybe Crowd Strike should have their own office next to Clapper's.
the entire thing is based on Crowdstrike's assessment..why did the DNC resuse to turn it over?This doesn't answer my questions

Why is it necessary? What different conclusion would they come to?

It wasn't an independent occurrence, complementing this hack they already had proof of Russian attempts to hack State election records, initiating media fabrications, and history of similar attempts in previous European elections, it was a tsunami of evidence pointing directly at Russia
tighten up your language if you want to represent my characterizations.It very well could be that, but it isn't that the Russian hack is a hoax as annatta continues to claim.

I claim serious doubts, based on flawed methodology of attribution by malware
( like malware can't be copied and used by others??) without FBI/government looking at the source..
we are completely dependent on Crowdstrike and Deep State's hostility to Russia
( Clapper non-classified assessment) as impeccable
no......it was an employee of the DNC telling the FBI......
So, why would three agencies lie? You still haven't answered my questions.tighten up your language if you want to represent my characterizations.

you are intelligent. I shouldn't have to spoon feed you conclusions.So, why would three agencies lie? You still haven't answered my questions.
Yet this false narrative is the entire basis of a campaign launched by the Democrats, hailed by the Trump-hating media, and fully endorsed by the FBI and the CIA, the purpose of which is to “prove” that Trump is “Putin’s puppet,” as Hillary Clinton put it. Now the investigative powers of the federal government are being deployed to confirm that the Trump campaign “colluded” with the Kremlin in an act the evidence for which is collapsing.
This whole affair is a vicious fraud.
