Guccifer 2.0 - Game Over

[TSA]

Did any of them know about the IP address or have access to it?

Do you have any other publication claiming this discovered IP address other than the Daily Beast's anonymous source familiar with the government's investigation? If not until the results from a formal investigation are presented I'm going to side with the below people over an anonymous daily beast source that is familiar with government's investigation.

There is currently no other source.

Are you saying it's all made up?

Yes or no.

Chicken dodge.

None of those former intelligence officials have the specific expertise to evaluate the technical details, nor do they even have access. They wrote a letter you agree with.

Can you show me where they have done a technical analysis of the data, and what their specific conclusions were based on that analysis? No?

[Spurminator]

I know I'd feel pretty crummy about voluntarily spreading rumors from a Russian disinformation operation to affect my own country's election, but, again, I still possess the capacity for shame.

I'm saying I'll need more than an anonymous Daily Beast source familiar with the government's investigation before making any decisions, as you should be doing as well.

You're right, we should be listening to anonymous sources posting on 4chan. Dance Marionetka.

If the FBI couldn't get access to evaluate the technical details I doubt the VIPS crew could get access.

But your anonymous sources are ing gold.

So, no.

[Winehole23]

according to today's indictment, Guccifer 2.0 was a GRU cutout:

[Winehole23]

looks bad for whoever this was:

[Winehole23]

Well, they've been hard selling the Russia narrative for over a year -- all based on Crowdstrike. I hope the public eventually gets more compelling evidence.

There was enough evidence for an indictment, but one wonders whether it will ever be presented at trial -- if all the defendants are not in the USA.

[Winehole23]

if true, the VIPS skepticism -- and admittedly, my own -- might not be so well founded:

The hackers used a server in AZ but then ran that through a server “overseas.” The hackers targeted a DCCC computer in Illinois. Which suggests much of the hot air around transfer times is just that.

can you fill me in on that issue?
