But I wonder if the Nation story and VIPS report provide the excuse Trump needs to shutdown Mueller's investigation? There still seems to be plenty of other evidence that Russians were meddling in the election (hacking state voter rolls for example) or seeking ways to support the Trump campaign. Suffice it to say, there's still a LOT of unknowns about who perpetrated the DNC hack/leak or how it was done-and investigators may still be searching for definitive answers. Not clear to me whether this "Profexer" will corroborate the Russia/Fancy Bear theory or not.


The New York Times is reporting today that the Ukrainian black-hat developer of a malware tool, believed to be instrumental to the Russian hack, is now turning himself in and will be a witness for the FBI. The author of the Nation article is a former writer and not some alt-right troll- even picked up on the report and is highlighting how the media may be ignoring it for now.īut before anyone concludes "ZOMG! DNC hack was an inside job!" take it all with a grain of salt. These officials don't have access to any of the classified data, but were able to come to this conclusion using the publicly available 'evidence' related to the hack/leak. While we've been distracted by North Korea and Charlottesville, The Nation published this piece that details a new report by former US intelligence officials, claiming the DNC hack was more likely an inside job vs. Please do not rehash any of the old conspiracies around Seth Rich leaking to Wikileaks.we've already had plenty of threads about that and the lead investigator himself has backed off that theory.īut what if it was an internal DNC leak, and NOT a Russian hack orchestrated by the Kremlin and perpetrated by "Guccifer 2.0"/Fancy Bear as concluded by US-led intelligence agencies? A new theory has been making the rounds this week-and not exclusively on Alt Right websites. First off, this is NOT a Seth Rich conspiracy thread.
