MR. HENRY: counseljust reminded me that, as it relates to the DNC' wehave indicators that data was exfiltrated. we did not have concrete evidence thatdata was exfiltrated from the DNC, but we have indicators that it was exfiltrated
Again, are you actually disputing that files were taken from the DNC? Are you disputing that they were taken by the Russians? What are you actually challenging?

Even a casual perusal of the underlying testimony shows that the "article" in the OP is just so much hogwash. *THIS* is why I don't trust RWNJ news sources. *THIS* is why I insist on looking at the underlying data.
RWNJ "news" sites are *not* about reporting the news but only spin. Please don't continue to be suckers :(.

Originally posted by seer View PostDO, what is not clear to you? It looks like someone attempted to take data but there is no evidence that it was actually accomplished:

Is he wrong? Misinformed? And do we even know where the Wikileaks stuff came from? Do we know it came from these servers? Or from a spear-phishing attack through Podesta's email?Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope.

Originally posted by seer View PostFirst, I'm only quoting Henry: But in this case, it appears it was set up to be exfiltrated, but we just don't have the evidence that says it actually left.
Also, we know for certain that the files were taken because the hashes match the files which were released publicly. If you don't understand what I meant when I posted about that I'll be happy to break it down further.

One thing that is rarely mentioned in these "Russia did it" articles and arguments, is the definition of "Russia".
When one talks about "China did it" they usually mean the Chinese government, because it is a quasi-communist dictatorship. The same with Cuba or Venezuela or Iran.
Russia is not the Soviet Union and (arguably) it is not a dictatorship. It has a free market and private enterprise, and its citizens enjoy a good amount of freedom; heck, they don't even have capital punishment. So when one says "Russia did it" do they mean Putin specifically, or some others in the Russian government? Or in some lower governments within the country? There are Russian companies like Gazprom that can interfere with other nations, and the Russian military nearly operates independently of the government (almost like ours does). In 2017, US investigators found a Russian bot farm in St. Petersburg that was being run by a Russian company that had a stake in the US election - independent of the Russian government.
So, I'm just saying that the "Russia did it" arguments really need to be specific. If the accusers mean Putin, then they should say "Putin", or specify some other entity in that country.
End rant.

Originally posted by seanD View PostFrom what I understand, though I haven't dug into it deep enough yet, is that there are supposedly docs proving Russia preferred Clinton instead because she was a known commodity, whereas Trump was an unknown. That should be interesting if that pans out. It certainly makes logical sense.
Your scenario above would unlikely be Putin. He hates Hillary because she tried to foment unrest in Moscow during the 2011/2012 elections there (talk about interfering in an election, and she was Secretary of State at the time). Putin denounced her publicly.
