The Obama Administration got caught in a huge propaganda lie and has no way out. There is no "consensus" in the intelligence community that the motive of the Russian hacking--if indeed there was any Russian hacking--was to benefit Trump. There is no evidence of such a consensus. This was purely propaganda fed to the media by Obama administration operatives. This was all started because of Trump's sarcastic remark in the debate that the Russians should hack Hillary's email server (which they and the Chinese had probably already done anyway). Hillary jumped all over that as have the Democrats and haven't let go of it.

But now, when asked to present proof, there is none to present. So Obama acts like a clown and expels 35 Russian diplomats/spies who had nothing whatsoever to do with the alleged hacking.

Masterful performance, I hate to see him go.

The intelligence community says they do have a consensus. You say they don't. I'm going with them on this one, since your claim to insider knowledge is nada.

Even that "conservative" magazine, Rolling Stone, things something smells in this hacking story.

Thanks for sharing. Good piece. God, some people will believe anything if it's what they want to hear.

I am a veteran engineer with internet security experience going back to '97. I have reviewed the evidence presented by Crowdstrike and the other firms. It's clearly the work of russian government hackers. There's no way to prove motive, but it was definitely them.

So frankly I don't care what this music magazine says. And given what you probably said about their journalistic integrity regarding the campus rape story, you shouldn't be relying on them either.

Well, master infosec expert, if you want to discredit the story legitimately, you would do well to realize it's a Matt Taibbi piece, much more than it is a "music magazine" piece.

matt taibbi is a critic, not a reporter. all due respect to his rhetorical powers, but if he wants to report he should get off his ass an report. not just sit at his, yes, music magazine, and lob bombs (metaphorical bombs).

yeah well taibbi hedges a lot there and seems to give it a 50-50 if not more of being the Russians.

The CIA, the FBI, other Government intelligence operations, and independant security companies have all said that this is true. Why would we question it? The implication is that there is a massive public and private conspiracy to implicate Russia, which is ridiculous. Moreover, there is no proof that could be provided that would convince Trump supporters that Russia engaged in hacking or any other nefarious activities that Trump seems to think are acceptable. Somehow, I don't think that Trump's 'intelligence' will be subject to the same scrutiny.

Again, having gone through the "Slam Dunk" intelligence escapade regarding Saddam's WMDs, I'm not particularly willing to accept unsupported allegations from our intelligence services. You may be correct that Trump supporters can not be convinced, but there are others who can be.

Well I'm ok with the CIA as a source at this point. Remember, they weren't the ones pushing the WMD claims in Iraq. At this point, my bets are on them, rather than Trump.

My bets are on neither. Trump is a moron but CIA has a vested interest in hyping up 'boogie-men' across the world.

I'm bright enough to know that you are pretty clueless. I certainly hope you don't work in infosec because whatever systems you maintain have probably been hacked silly. What sort of infosec education and/or training do you have? I'd love to know where you obtained your "expertise".

Listen, you can spout off talking points all you want. Fact of the matter remains you are actually quite clueless about Infoseek and systems administration in general, that is evident by your posts.
