Two important points:

1.) The file transfer speed of the leaked DNC files was too high to have been done over an internet connection, meaning it was obtained locally.

2.) Crowdstrike attributed the hack to Russian APTs by pointing to traffic from IP addresses associated with the actors, but those IP addresses had been blackholed by the time the file leak occurred. There was no direct tie to Russian APTs within the period of the actual leak.

Hillary Clinton launched 'Russiagate' during the 2016 debates when she claimed 'Russia hacked' and '17 spy agencies confirm.' She was referring to the DNC servers and Pedodesta emails, but I marveled at how the media morphed her statement into 'Russia hacked the election.' SHE launched 'Russiagate.' No one ever asked her what she meant (obviously, it could not have been 'hacked the election' prior TO the election) or how she was able to state that '17 spy agencies confirmed.' PLEASE pull on this thread! LOVE your work!
