Behind Russia’s hacking: Misfires

So, the media keeps wanting to make this a Russian run, Russian orchestrated thing, and yet the never disclose who the "sources close to Russia" and how they determine "closely aligned to the Russian Government" and "hackers known as Fancy Bear were closely aligned with the interests of the Russian government.". They never provide one fact, just these "supposed facts". They also neglect to mention that in this time frame there are hundreds of attacks going on, and I am willing to bewt they targeted Republicrats, Obama, not to mention businesses and the real thing they were doing in many, many little groups, hacking to encrypt your data for ransom. This "Secureworks" offers some reports if you sign up with your email, but seems to want money for protection and doesn't mention selling studies, or "data". So, if it is not available, did they pay for it? There seems to be a lot of holes in the story, yet it is presented as incontrovertable truth that the poor Dumbocraps, with their "state of the art" security, had a goober like Podesta that even the article admits "A malicious link was generated for Podesta at 11:28 a.m. Moscow time, the AP found. Documents subsequently published by WikiLeaks show that the rogue email arrived in his inbox six minutes later. The link was clicked twice." That doesn't seem very "state of the art" to me. This seems like someone needed a real "heavy" article to counter all the "Clinton Crap" flying around, and make the whole "Russia Collusion" story useful again. I mean, really, Podesta gets a google security request and clicks on it?

    I wouldn't say the D's play was a misfire as much as I would call it an act of extreme arrogance. The game changed and they are still playing by the D playbook. Look at what they managed to accomplish with control of the government and media. They never required facts with O, only speculation and the influence of fear and distrust of government. The worm has turned. Now there are some, only some, who actually value their credibility who are being FORCED by DT's brash candor and behavior to actually prove him wrong..and they are finding that they can't.

    If nothing else, DT will have underscored the decrepitude of American government and the complicity and collusion of the MSM to bring down the country.

    I do hope someone in the DT administration enacts proceedings for treason. There are far too many deserving of the hangman's noose, even quite a few calling themselves republicans.

    I find the ads very very creepy. They probably accounted for a small amount of ad buys and weren't that different from domestic partisan ads. But it's just creepy how they seem not to advocate any particular policy or candidate. They didn't decrease after the election. They just became more anti-Trump. They just aim to make Americans see themselves as groups pitted against one another rather than individuals. It creeps me out like listening to th Soviet UVB-76 buffer on shortwave as a kid. It probably has a boring explanation, but it creeps me out in a ghost-story sort of way. That's how I see the ads.
