Hillary, an exemplar of incompetence, surrounds herself with more of the same. Her private server and State Department email were revealed by Sidney Blumenthal’s incompetent email practices. A Romanian farmer, using the handle Guccifer, hacked the email and posted it to the world thru WikiLeaks. Guccifer is presently in Bulgarian prison.
Julian Assange stated the Russians were not the source of the WikiLeaks hacked DNC email. Rather, a leaker from inside the DNC. Former British ambassador, Craig Murray, supported Assange’s statement. Murray claims he picked up the information from a disgruntled DNC employee at a DC park and forwarded the info to WikiLeaks. A new actor, Guccifer 2.0 claims to be the hacker.
The White House claims the Russians perpetrated the hacks at the direction of Putin. Either, the White House spokesman lied, or committed a serious breach of security. The CIA has had serious failures with Humint, for a couple of decades. Humint would be required to reveal such information as the direct management of the hacker program by Putin. Therefore, either the White House lied, or they revealed that a source exists at the Kremlin – soon to be a short lived source.
A phishing ploy email caused John Podesta to reveal his password to the hacker. Podesta's incompetence -- revealing the password and sending sensitive info by email set the whole thing in play. Best look for a ticked off Bernie bro rather than an FSB agent.
