No proof of Russian hackers. Clinton's campaign manager said they heard it on CNN.

[tinydancer]

I'm busting a gut here. This is beyond too funny. It's bad enough that every whacked out left wing whack job on the board is strutting like banty roosters claiming the emails were hacked by Trump associates in Russia, but to find out the Democrats have been running with an unverified story on CNN is hysterical.

Freaking losers!

How do you know Russia hacked the Hillary emails? Clinton campaign is asked. 'We saw it on CNN.' Democrats admit they have no evidence of Putin link to disastrous leak

• Hillary Clinton's campaign manager Robby Mook said that no government official has confirmed the link between Russia and the DNC hack
• 
  
• Today show host Savannah Guthrie was asking Mook to push back on Donald Trump's claim that the link is a 'conspiracy theory'
• 
  
• Mook has said multiple times now that Russia is behind the embarrassing leak that led to Debbie Wasserman Schultz leaving her top party post
• 
  
• 'I am simply going off what the reporting is telling us,' Mook said this morning on the Today show

Well, it's obviuos it hasn't been Trump’s fault or Putin’s, it’s the people who got caught with their hands in the cookie jar. The ones committing the offense are the guilty ones, not the people who caught them.

The ones to blame are the people who committed the crime, not the ones who reported the crime.

Trump and Putin are not the only two people in the world who don’t want Hillary to be the next POTUS.

Assange makes no reservations that he’s staunchly against Hillary Clinton becoming president of the United States, as she represents the corruption he sought to combat with the creation of WikiLeaks.

Their lack of a cohesive response, tells me that the soros media sources have yet to establish a shared narrative.

Don't worry. Eventually they will be united by a shared narrative.

This is nothing more than a diversion by the scumbag democrats. Even the White House spokesman today said their is no credible evidence that Russia hacked the DNC.

‘DNC Hacker’ Unmasked: He Really Works for Russia, Researchers Say
The hacker who claimed to compromise the DNC swore he was Romanian. But new research shows he worked directly for the Vladimir Putin government in Moscow. The hacker who claims to have stolen emails from the Democratic National Committee and provided them to WikiLeaks is actually an agent of the Russian government and part of an orchestrated attempt to influence U.S. media coverage surrounding the presidential election, a security research group concluded on Tuesday.

The researchers, at Arlington, Va.-based ThreatConnect, traced the self-described Romanian hacker Guccifer 2.0 back to an Internet server in Russia and to a digital address that has been linked in the past to Russian online scams. Far from being a singly, sophisticated hacker, Guccifer 2.0 is more likely a collection of people from the propaganda arm of the Russian government meant to deflect attention away from Moscow as the force behind the DNC hacks and leaks of emails, the researchers found. ThreatConnect is the first known group of experts to link the self-proclaimed hacker to a Russian operation, amidst an ongoing FBI investigation and a presidential campaign rocked by the release of DNC emails that have embarrassed senior party leaders and inflamed intraparty tensions turning the Democratic National Convention. The emails revealed that party insiders plotted ways to undermine Sen. Bernie Sanders’ presidential bid.

“These are bureaucrats, not sophisticated hackers,” Rich Barger, ThreatConnect’s chief intelligence officer, told The Daily Beast. In blog posts and in interviews with journalists, Barger said, Guccifer 2.0 has made inconsistent remarks and given a version of how he penetrated the DNC networks that technically don’t make sense. For instance, the hacker claims to have used a software flaw that didn’t exist until December 2015 in order to break into the DNC networks last summer. In an interview with Motherboard in June, the hacker also refused to speak in Romanian, another indication that he wasn’t who he claimed to be. ThreatConnect also found that Guccifer 2.0 was attempting to mask his true location, in Russia, by communicating through an Internet service based in France. Such masking is not uncommon in government-sponsored operations, nor is it particularly difficult to accomplish. The researchers concluded that Guccifer 2.0 is actually an “apparition created under a hasty Russian [denial and deception] campaign” to influence political events in the U.S. (The news site Vocativ was the first to report on these conclusions, and Vocativ reporter Kevin Collier supplied some data to the researchers.)

“Maintaining a ruse of this nature within both the physical and virtual domains requires believable and verifiable events which do not contradict one another. That is not the case here,” the researchers wrote in a blog post. By tracing Guccifer 2.0’s Internet infrastructure, the researchers concluded he—or the group—is “a Russia-controlled platform that can act as a censored hacktivist. Moscow determines what Guccifer 2.0 shares and thus can attempt to selectively impact media coverage, and potentially the election, in a way that ultimately benefits their national objectives.”

That finding matches the political motive that U.S. officials told The Daily Beast they have seen in Russia’s hacking of the DNC. The FBI said on Monday that it was investigating the breach, which a growing number within the Obama administration believe was designed to embarrass Democrats, exacerbate tensions between Hillary Clinton and her former rival Bernie Sanders—as well as his voters—and ultimately to give a boost to Republican nominee Donald Trump.

Researchers from cyber security company CrowdStrike have publicly attributed the DNC breach to the work of two known Russian government hacker groups that have also targeted U.S. government agencies, the White House, and American universities. The tactics and techniques in those campaigns match up with forensic evidence gathered from the DNC breach.

ThreatConnect’s findings seem to underscore the extent to which the Russian government, at least initially, wanted to obscure its role in a so-called active measures campaign designed to cause mischief in the U.S. election, said Barger, a former U.S. Army intelligence analyst.

Kerry discusses DNC email hack with Russia's top diplomat



VIENTIANE --Secretary of State John Kerry says he raised the email hack of the Democratic National Committee with Russia's top diplomat but stopped short of making any allegation about who might be responsible.

Kerry told reporters Tuesday he brought the matter up with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov at a meeting in Laos and explained that the FBI was investigating. He did not, however, repeat allegations or echo suspicions that Russia was responsible for the hack and said he would not draw conclusions until the probe is complete. "I raised the question and we will continue to work to see precisely what those facts are," Kerry said. He would not say if Lavrov responded

Asked about the allegations earlier, Lavrov scoffed, saying: "I don't want to use 4-letter words."
