Washington's Blog — DNC Refused to Give FBI Access to Its Servers … Instead Gave Access to a DNC Consultant Tied to Organization Promoting Conflict with Russia

As first reported by George Eliason, CrowdStrike’s Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder Dimitri Alperovitch – who wrote the CrowdStrike reports allegedly linking Russia to the Democratic party emails published by Wikileaks – is a fellow at the Atlantic Council … an organization associated with Ukraine, and whose main policy goal seems to stir up a confrontation with Russia.
Remember how fast HRC's campaign manager Robbie Mook took the narrative to the press when the material was released by Wikileaks, claiming that t"he Russians did it" based on the Crowdstrike report?

Where's Nixon and his plumbers when you need them? This is the time for some serious spying at the DNC!

The information that would come out would result in Obama, Killary and hundreds of hours being tried for treason.

If the US gets too clever with Russia, China, Iran, etc., this is what will happen. They may lack military superiority in conventional terms, but they are powerhouses in cyberwarfare.

It was Russia that blew the whistle on the US coup in Ukraine, for example, releasing the phone tap of Victoria Nuland taking about installing "Yats" as PM days before the actual coup.

Look at the election this way. Russia was looking at an almost sure open hostility with the US under HRC but possibly good relations and almost certainly no confrontation with Trump. What would you do if there was a possibility for short circuiting it?

But cyber warfare is more about actually disabling physical systems to both military and economic-financial.

The outcome of such a war is uncertain but the US and EU are far more dependent on high tech that is digitally disruptable than Russia, China, Iran, etc.

Tom, I don't disagree with any of that, only that finding out what the Dems really think would be explosive. It'd make Watergate look agreeable. We know what they think, but to have the raw crudities and vulgarities of it for all to read would be unforgettable.

Out of the two traditional parties, it's the Dems who have always been the more competent imperialists, and that's one of the things we would surely learn from a hack. Republicans are on the whole not particularly competent or particularly intelligent: the last GOPher administration proved that. It needed the Dems to come in and steer the USS Empire back on course. That's the open secret nobody in Washington dare say: Dems are by the better party of government for the empire. Half the plebs think the GOPhers are a competent bunch. The other half, the more intelligent half, know who are the more competent when it comes to government.

This new brand of Dems have the same aims as Dubya and his neoconservative babbling idiots but they're less reckless and more competent. A complete hack of the DNC and Killary would make for chilling reading.

There isn't any evidence that Russia and its agencies were behind any of this. But if I were Putin, I would have ordered an all out electronic attack on the Dems.
