So why is our government spending all this money to "investigate" who hacked them? Especially considering they refused to cooperate with investigators? Fuckem.
All the crying is just a diversion to cover their dirty laundry as well as the medias that was leaked.
If you weren't so dumb and poorly informed - you would know that the DNC has in fact cooperated with investigators. Another hyperbolic NaziCon thread debunked.
June 14 — The
Washington Post reports that hackers had gained access to DNC servers. It is the first public disclosure of the security breach.
June 15 — CrowdStrike, a computer security firm hired by the DNC to investigate the hacking, says that Russia is behind the cyberattack. In
a blog post on its website, CrowdStrike co-founder Dmitri Alperovitch says that the company “immediately identified two sophisticated adversaries on the network – COZY BEAR and FANCY BEAR.” He wrote that “both adversaries engage in extensive political and economic espionage for the benefit of the government of the Russian Federation and are believed to be closely linked to the Russian government’s powerful and highly capable intelligence services.”
Guccifer 2.0
takes credit in a blog post for hacking the DNC computers and releases a few documents, including the Democratic Party’s 200-page opposition research report on Donald Trump. “The main part of the papers, thousands of files and mails, I gave to Wikileaks. They will publish them soon,” Guccifer 2.0 says in its blog post. (U.S. intelligence would
later identify Guccifer 2.0 as the “persona” used by Russian military intelligence to release hacked emails to media outlets and WikiLeaks.)
Trump
releases a statement that says: “We believe it was the DNC that did the ‘hacking’ as a way to distract from the many issues facing their deeply flawed candidate and failed party leader.”
June 20 — Manafort
becomes the Trump campaign manager. He replaces Corey Lewandowski, who was fired.
July 8 – Page, a Trump foreign policy adviser,
visits Moscow and speaks at the
commencement ceremony of the New Economic School. In his speech, Page is critical of U.S. policy toward Russia.
July 20 – Sessions delivers a
speech at “Global Partners in Diplomacy,” an event held during the Republican National Convention in Cleveland and sponsored by the
State Department,
Heritage Foundation and others. After the event, Sessions had what he would later describe as a “
brief encounter” with Kislyak, the Russian ambassador to the U.S. The event was attended by somewhere between 50 ambassadors,
according to the Washington Post, and 100 ambassadors,
according to Heritage. (Sessions
acknowledged when he recused himself from the Russian investigation in march 2017 that he spoke twice with Kislyak, including at this event.)
July 22 — WikiLeaks
releases nearly 20,000 DNC emails. It would eventually release more than 44,000 emails and 17,000 attachments, WikiLeaks
says on its website.
July 25 – The FBI
confirms it has opened an investigation into the hacking of the DNC computer network. “The FBI is investigating a cyber intrusion involving the DNC and are working to determine the nature and scope of the matter. A compromise of this nature is something we take very seriously, and the FBI will continue to investigate and hold accountable those who pose a threat in cyberspace,” it says in a release.
(James Comey, the FBI director at the time, would later testify that the FBI in late July 2016 began investigating the Russian government’s efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election and whether Trump campaign associates were involved in those efforts. The
New York Times would later
report that Page’s speech in Moscow “was a catalyst for the F.B.I. investigation into connections between Russia and President Trump’s campaign.”)
