In a memo to President Trump, a group of former U.S. intelligence officers, including NSA specialists, cite new forensic studies to challenge the claim of the key Jan. 6 “assessment” that Russia “hacked” Democratic emails last year.
MEMORANDUM FOR: The President
FROM: Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS)
SUBJECT: Was the “Russian Hack” an Inside Job?
Executive Summary
Forensic studies of “Russian hacking” into Democratic National Committee computers last year reveal that on July 5, 2016, data was leaked (not hacked) by a person with physical access to DNC computers, and then doctored to incriminate Russia.
After examining metadata from the “Guccifer 2.0” July 5, 2016 intrusion into the DNC server, independent cyber investigators have concluded that an insider copied DNC data onto an external storage device, and that “telltale signs” implicating Russia were then inserted.
Key among the findings of the independent forensic investigations is the conclusion that the DNC data was copied onto a storage device at a speed that far exceeds an Internet capability for a remote hack. Of equal importance, the forensics show that the copying and doctoring were performed on the East coast of the U.S. Thus far, mainstream media have ignored the findings of these independent studies [see here and here].

Neither the FBI nor the CIA "conclusively assessed" that Russians "hacked the elections".
NYT or WaPo - can't remember which it was - already walked back the statement saying "17 intelligence agencies agree..."
And Crowdstrike, the company that "investigated" the DNC computers walked back on the allegations of Russian interference as well.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

so I was wrong, it was in fact the CIA, the FBI, the DHS, the NSA, and the ODNI who all conclusively assessed that it was the Russians. and you've got mspaint comics as your retort. good job.

This guy hasn't even heard of Romanian internet before. Some "forensicator." He can't even use Google.

Where is the discussion about technology? There isn't any, because this story is primarily about politics. Where should politics threads go?
>>61567476
Fuck off back to your containment board, cunty boy
Fuck off right wing retards.
/g/ has always been a left leaning board.
>>61568053
I don't need a space heater at the moment, maybe in late december
/g/ used to be my home board now /pol/ is. wtf happened to you /g/ you used to be cool and now you're all hyper feminized banshees screaming about /pol/. there was nothing wrong with this thread until people started whining about /pol/
>>61568109
okay so go back there and never post here again
>>61568067
Half of those are "lol MB vs Mb". Any yes, the other half is not "lol Romanianet is fast", just "lol Europenet is fast".
You are proving my point.
But hey, if I am wrong and this thread IS about technology... then go ahead and enjoy it. I am going to minimize it and move on with my life.
>>61568054
It's occasionally nice to have a /pol/ thread as long as there are no /pol/tards in it. I remember when you could actually have a nice discussion on /b/. Now /b/'s long dead and /pol/ is nothing but "cuck cuck cuck cuck cuck."
>>61568133
>it's nice to talk politics as long as one side is only allowed to talk
this is what you said essentially.
>>61568109
Nice blog post, came here to post this.
>>61568158
Whether or not you intended it you just described /pol/ as well.
>>61568158
Why would I care about the opinions of people who simply confirm what they want to believe?
>>61568158
pretty sure what he meant was it's okay to have political discourse when the people involved aren't genuinely mentally handicapped
Fucking /pol/ needs to get off my board reeeeee
>>61568189
/pol/ is a diverse board full of many different viewpoints. liberals used to have meaningful discussion on marxism there but they went scorched earth and now dump blacked porn and 1 post threads.
>>61568223
Bullshit, they are there but then they get two hundred replies of "shillary" "she lost, get over it" "shariahblue."
Come on dude you are in an echo chamber, at least admit it.
>>61568223
>/pol/ is a diverse board
yes your members lie on virtually all possible points of the autism spectrum

Being technically able to tell us your opinions doesn't mean they'd be welcome: that's just shitposting.

>After examining metadata from the “Guccifer 2.0” July 5, 2016 intrusion into the DNC server, independent cyber investigators have concluded that an insider copied DNC data onto an external storage device
That's not new. Wikileaks said that they had an insider that physically got the data for them.
>>61568235
what do you expect when you say stupid shit like trying to create a false consensus and fuck drumpf fuck white people. sincere posts will get sincere replies.
>>61568235
>>61568236
/pol/ is fine with political discussion with anyone as long as you don't scheme and plot against them in a private chat room like filthy jews. The thing that separates a lot /pol/ commies and libertarians from the ones on reddit and whatnot is that a majority hate jews. I hate them too.
Any opsec novice has known since shillary uttered 'muh 17 agencies' in that debate it was a load of shit. Any opsec novice knows that blatant 'russian prints' are planted. And any opsec novice knows that the US government pulls shit like this all the time.
>>61568287
no, they're fine with political discussion as long as it's all memes and shitposting.
>>61568267
Nigger who are you trying to convince me or you?
Seriously go try it and let me know how it goes. I consider myself a classic liberal and I browse /pol/ for shits and giggles every now then. I've posted and 99% of replies are cuck this and shill that. You guys are just as bad as the SJW's you harp on. If I said the sentence above I'd be hit with a a specific image macro and shitposting.
Wake up dude.
>>61568287
>anything I don't want to hear is a plot against me from a private chat room!

It was proven that Shareblue and raids from cripplechan were exactly that. We even infiltrated their discord servers. This is common knowledge at this point. Nothing is beyond our reach.
>>61568334
what type of stuff do you say and in what threads? half of pol is classical liberals or anarchist.
>>61568354
>oh no people shitposting
>everyone who disagrees with me is a cuck who secretly plots against "us"
Truly a place for meaningful discussion.
>>61568377
>>61568378
This was proven. It was all put out in the open, whether you fags like it or not.
>>61567241
KEK this is hilarious. It's ubiquitous that Russia was behind the hacking and you want to point to a few fringe citations that are not luculent.
So it's another episode of "cultist lefties invent lies and gets their pants caught on fire instead of offering any real opposition to Trump that proceeds to shit up everything unopposed"?
>>61568439
It's not opinion, it's fact.
I'm all leftist euro and shit but what's the big deal with those hacks, people mad for Russians releasing legit data?
>>61568451
Yep. It's a damn shame.
>>61568455
Most of it was Wikileaks who released stuff. The accusation is that Russia worked some magic and gave a whole bunch of info to Wikileaks. Instead of getting mad at the DNC for being corrupt, they're lashing out at the people who exposed it. Blaming Russia is just convenient because a few dirty Jews want a war to line their pockets. It was actually Seth Rich who gave the info to Wikileaks and mysteriously ended up shot to death.
>>61568474
See pic related.
I am a liberal and this thread offends me
>>61568496
why?
>>61568455
That Russians were conspiring to get Trump elected. Pretty stupid that they did, though. Why do right wingers think other right wingers are their friends? They're literally too dumb to recognize that they all have an "us vs them" ideology and that anyone who isn't "me" can be turned into a "them" at the drop of a hat?
"Sure, let's just make a treaty with Hitler. I'm sure he won't invade! He said so!"
>>61568525
The problem here is that you believe in the hacks in the first place.
>>61568496
You're a whiny kid who boasts with strangers because we can't punch you in the face.
>>61568536
No you don't. You just need to listen to Putin's own words.
>>61568525
I understand that but everyone is mad not because of leaked data content but because of the way that data was obtained.
Sound wrong.
>>61568485
>unironically believes seth rich had anything to do with anything
and yet somehow democrats are the conspiracy theorists
Why does it even matter who did it?
In any sane democracy you would thank whoever exposes the wrongdoings of politicians.
>>61568601
who did it isn't the important part, it's why they did it. also, it's possible to be mad at both the hacking and the corruption that it exposed.
>>61568596
>waaaah everything that the government doesn't spoon feed me is a CONSPIWACY THEWY!
If someone who was a witness to a crime who was going to testify in court was shot soon after, the police would investigate that. Your arguments are invalid.
>>61568619
you do realize the police *are* investigating his death, right?
>>61568619
>>61568660
>guy walks around drunk in a bad area
>gets shot
I though /pol/ knew what niggers were all about.
>m-muh JEWS BOOGAYMEN
>m-muh RUSSIANS BOOGAYMEN
Embarrassing.
>>61568660
So it's not a conspiracy theory. Are you not seeing the connection yet? Seth Rich dying just made it that much more obvious.
>>61568692
This makes the cover up more obvious. No casings or anything were found, so it was most likely done with a revolver or from inside a car.
>>61568787
>niggers can't own revolvers or shoot from cars or casings can't be lost
Odds are we won't ever know what truly happened you may be right, but you have to admit you're shilling a conspiracy theory because it conforms to your world view when common sense says he was just in a bad place at the wrong time.
Either way whatever happens I hope he gets justice, conspiracy or not.
>>61567241
O'Keefe already posted videos of MSM journalists admitting the whole Russia thing is 100% bullshit and that they think your average news viewers is an imbecile. Millions have seen O'Keefe's videos, have you guys been living under a rock?
