this is the fourth or fifth thread on this...and a little late, it's been debunked...
the assumption by the alleged retired NSA IT guys that the speed was too fast for guciffer to receive the emails on July 5th 2016 over the internet at the time of the transfer... and this is why the Russians could not have done the hacking, they say, unless it was a download from a memory card and the memory card had to come from someone inside the DNC is just utterly ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!
1- the memory stick to Guciffer could have come from the Russians who hacked the DNC over the period of 2015 thru 2016.
2. the FBI tried for over a year to warn the DNC they were being hacked.
3. Guciffer is Russian...lying and claiming to be Romanian....but it was noted that he was in Russia....something to do with meta data showing such....anyway, if he was in Russia, the FSB (the new KGB)with internet service speeds faster than our CIA can probably get. in the USA...the download speed of the DNC email files could have taken a nano second to send to Guciffer from the stolen files the FSB had on hand from their thefts earlier in the year!

The Nation Article About the DNC Hack Is Too Incoherent to Even Debunk
But this article is neither conclusive proof nor strong evidence. It’s the extremely long-winded product of a crank, and it’s been getting attention only because it appears in a respected left-wing publication like The Nation. Anyone hoping to read it for careful reporting and clear explanation is going to come away disappointed, however.
If you want to get to the actual claims being made, you’ll have to skip the first 1,000 or so words, which mostly consist of breathtakingly elaborate throat-clearing. (“[H]ouses built on sand and made of cards are bound to collapse, and there can be no surprise that the one resting atop the ‘hack theory,’ as we can call the prevailing wisdom on the DNC events, appears to be in the process of doing so.”) About halfway through, you get to the crux of the article: A report, made by an anonymous analyst calling himself “Forensicator,” on the “metadata” of “locked files” leaked by the hacker Guccifer 2.0.
This should, already, set off alarm bells: An anonymous analyst is claiming to have analyzed the “metadata” of “locked files” that only this analyst had access to? Still, if I’m understanding it correctly, Lawrence’s central argument (which, again, rests on the belief that Forensicator’s claims about “metadata” are meaningful and correct) is that the initial data transfer from the DNC occurred at speeds impossible via the internet. Instead, he and a few retired intel-community members and some pseudonymous bloggers believe the data was transferred to a USB stick, making the infiltration a leak from someone inside the DNC, not a hack.
The crux of the whole thing — the opening argument — rests on the fact that, according to “metadata,” the data was transferred at about 22 megabytes per second, which Lawrence and Forensicator claim is much too fast to have been undertaken over an internet connection. (Most connection speeds are measured at megabits per second, not megabytes; 22 megabytes per second is 176 megabits per second.) Most households don’t get internet speeds that high, but enterprise operations, like the DNC — or, uh, the FSB — would have access to a higher but certainly not unattainable speed like that.
