In the months since the alleged hack, the NSA had ample opportunity to make available the “irrefutable proof†that a Russian hack had occurred, even though the DNC refused to allow the FBI’s cybersecurity experts access to their servers. The former intelligence experts said that if Russian operatives had actually penetrated DNC computers the NSA would have evidence of that because “the technical systems†capable of gathering it “have been in place since 2002.†Rather than DNC servers being hacked, however, “existing evidence supports an alternative explanation — the files taken from the DNC between 23 and 25 May and were copied onto a file storage device, such as a thumb drive,†they wrote. Rather, one Deep State operative after another, along with Democrats in Congress and former Obama administration officials, have only asserted that the Russians did it. However, they note, three years after the fact, no forensic evidence has yet been provided to the public to support that contention. Writing for The Gateway Pundit, William Binney, a former high-ranking NSA official-turned-whistleblower, and Larry Johnson, a former CIA analyst and State Department counterterrorism expert, note that the FBI, NSA, and CIA all claimed that the DNC emails published by WikiLeaks on July 26, 2016, “were obtained via a Russia hack.†intelligence official and a cybersecurity expert reveals about as clearly as is possible — without having top secret clearance — that the Russian hacking claim is bogus. However, a new analysis of available open-source data by a former U.S. It’s been a while since this topic was in the news but it remains one of the central claims by the Deep State alleging “collusion†between the 2016 Trump campaign and Mother Russia: Namely, Moscow’s hackers breached Democratic National Committee computers, lifted incriminating emails harmful to Hillary Clinton, then delivered them to WikiLeaks to destroy her chances of winning the White House.
