(July) 2016 report into the DNC hacking, showing it was first breached by ATP-29 (The other Russian state backed hacking group), but the leaks almost certainly came from a second breach by ATP-28 later: https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/bears-midst-intrusion-democ...
Note the dates here. 2014 is way before anyone could claim some kind of anti-Trump deep state conspiracy. There's the Olympic hacks (which clearly benefited Russian interests) by the same group too.
Ironically, even Putin's comments on the matter are more credible: "Hackers are free people, just like artists who wake up in the morning in a good mood and start painting," he said. "The hackers are the same. They would wake up, read about something going on in interstate relations and if they feel patriotic, they may try to contribute to the fight against those who speak badly about Russia."[1]
That GP is being downvoted for stating this is disconcerting.
Thanks, but I'm not surprised. Feel free to correct it ;)
> GCHQ first became aware in late 2015 of suspicious “interactions” between figures connected to Trump and known or suspected Russian agents, a source close to UK intelligence said. This intelligence was passed to the US as part of a routine exchange of information, they added.
We don't need to trust US agencies who claim "it was them but we can't tell you why"
There's a lot of evidence which came out before and during the attacks from non-government sources which points to the culprits.
I've posted this before, but I think it's important people understand what public evidence is available:
The 2014 report into ATP-28: https://www.fireeye.com/blog/threat-research/2014/10/apt28-a... presenting pretty compelling (if circumstantial) evidence that group is Russian state backed.
