“ Russian hackers penetrate U.S electricity grid though a utility in Vermont, officials say “ by Juliet Eilperin and Adam Entous in Washington Post
This fake news story claims our electric grid was hacked by Russia.Turns out that it was just an unconnected lab top with a common virus. Fake news. They retracted this in embarrassment.

That's why I said "tried"

I didn't say they were successful

Of course. Just confirming I have heard the same. I’m unsure of the validity.

But they did succeed in hacking the DNC's emails

Maybe.

"maybe"

you didn't read the indictment from Mueller's office right

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/13/us/politics/mueller-indictment-russian-intelligence-hacking.html

"From phishing attacks to gain access to Democratic operatives, to money laundering, to attempts to break into state elections boards, the indictment details a vigorous and complex effort by Russia’s top military intelligence service to sabotage the campaign of Mr. Trump’s Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton."

I did. I’m just skeptical. Wikileaks says it was a leak, and the FBI didn’t directly investigation the servers. They wanted too, but the DNC refused, and just let Crowd Strike do it. They sent pictures and their finding to the FBI. So it’s a matter of who you trust. The FBI or Wikileaks

Yes, I’ve read it.

Still hopeful for the Seth Rich thing to be real lol

Wikileaks uh, hasn't made its case to be credible in the past few weeks or so

Mueller is closing in hard on Stone and his connections to Wikileaks, just saying

Hello

The indictment also undermines Wikileaks' Russian denials as well

Wikileaks has never, to my knowledge, ever released falsified information. The FBI is another story.

Check this out. In the context of the FBI not getting to view those servers directly. They definitely thought it was important.

“ FBI: DNC rebuffed request to examine computer servers” by Evan Perez and Daniella Diaz on CNN

The FBI did ask for direct access to servers and data calling it a “ necessity “ leaving them no choice but to rely on third party information.

@IИVДLID CЯΞДΓIФИ the indictments prove nothing. They are accusations.

Accusations that seem to have merit

Though they'll never be extradited to face prosecution

Seth Rich kind of stuff?

Not really

hardly if anything

Wikileaks hasn’t been proven to be working with Russia. I don’t really care about the Seth Rich stuff.

If I recall, Fox had to retract that story Seth Rich being wikileaks' source

Good. There is no proof.

Just circumstantial stuff. It looks spooky, but I’m going to need direct proof.

It's literally entirely possible to believe these things all at once: Russia tried to interfere in the election, hacked the DNC, and there is no evidence of Trump or his associates coordinating with Russia in the releasing of those emails

I looked at a violent crime map of DC and shooting were pretty common in the area. Relatively close.

I agree. These things don’t contradict each other necessarily.

No, they dont

Hi @Deleted User 👋🏻

For some reason on the right, if you believe Russia hacked the election, you are a deep state shill conspiracy theorist or something

And on the left, if you believe there's no factual evidence to point to actual Trump-Russia "collusion", you're a drumpf-apologist and a traitor to this country

It's just so fucking weird

Well if you believed they hacked the election, that’s silly. If you believed they tried to influence. That’s fine.
