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.

Uh, he is neither technical nor a technical writer. He is a political and financial journalist who spent some time in Russia.

he would be more qualified to read a CT scan than to [b]interpret the technical evidence of russian hacking[b].

Taibi slants extremely left-wing as a general rule. For Taibi to question this Russian hacking story is very significant as he of all people has absolutely no motivation to do anything to cover for Trump.

nah Taibbi is in the mold of Bernie Bros, who are more than happy to play the skeptic on the Russian interference because they want to keep on attacking Hillary. To call Taibbi "left wing" is to not really understand what he does.

DP. You're ridiculous. You actually think there's a significant number of "Bernie Bros" and progressives or other non-Republicans who would happily sacrifice the integrity of the American electoral system and the ideal of democracy itself just because they really want to be mean to Hillary?

You mean like Susan Sarandon who wanted Trump elected so the revolution would come sooner? Significant numbers? No. Some? Yes.

This sentence "And maybe he is wise to leave the mystery in place: as delegitimizing as it is, it’s very possible the truth would be even worse." is absolutely chilling.

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).

Huh? A critic? Like a music critic? Are you not familiar with his work? Taibbi is a very well respected journalist and author with extensive Russian experience.
