Former NSA Experts: DNC Wasn’t Hacked By Russians, Info Came From Insider Leak

The relentless accusations against President Trump and his team of colluding with Russia have had a detrimental effect on his ability to conduct foreign policy. He recently was backed into a corner by Congress and forced to sign a bill creating new sanctions against Russia because of the alleged interference.

Now comes a report that effectively proves there was no hacking of the DNC system, and that the provision of DNC emails to Wikileaks was made by a DNC insider who downloaded the information onto a portable device. (Possibly Seth Rich?)

Democrat politicians have used the Russia hacking story as a means to attack the president and try to delegitimize his 2016 election. Their assertions are in the tradition of Nazi Joseph Goebbels’ “Big Lie” theory: If you repeat the lie enough times, people will begin to believe it.

Forensic investigators, intelligence analysts, system designers, program architects, and computer scientists of long experience and strongly credentialed are now producing evidence disproving the official version of key events last year.”

A group made up of former intelligence officers, most of whom previously occupied senior positions, Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS), was founded in 2003. It now has 30 members, including a few associates with backgrounds in national-security fields other than intelligence, including computer programs and data analysis.

A VIPS team began examining the alleged DNC leak almost immediately after the July 2016 release of DNC emails by Wikileaks. The principal researchers on the DNC case are: William Binney, former NSA technical director for world geopolitical and military analysis and designer of many agency programs now in use; Kirk Wiebe, former senior analyst at the NSA’s SIGINT Automation Research Center; Edward Loomis, former technical director in the NSA’s Office of Signal Processing; and Ray McGovern, an intelligence analyst for nearly three decades and former chief of the CIA’s Soviet Foreign Policy Branch.

The VIPS team wrote to the DNC just after the Wikileaks release and President Barack Obama just three days before he left office to remind them that the National Security Agency (NSA) has programs with the capability of capturing all electronic transfers of data.

We strongly suggest that you ask NSA for any evidence it may have indicating that the results of Russian hacking were given to WikiLeaks,” the letter said. “If NSA cannot produce such evidence—and quickly—this would probably mean it does not have any.”

Of course, no such request to NSA was made because the DNC and President Obama likely knew at the time the information came from a leak, not a hack. The DNC and Obama both had settled on a narrative to sell, knowing the megaphone media would support it wholeheartedly.

Furthering bolstering the “leak not a hack” conclusion is a recent independent analysis by two data experts using the aliases of the Forensicator and Adam Carter. Their research centered on what could be gleaned from the so-called Guccifer leak that purported to show Russian hacking on the DNC during 2016.

By examining the metadata and the transfer rate that a remote hack on the DNC system would require, the Forensicator has been able to establish it would have been impossible for a remote hacker to obtain a file the size that Wikileaks leaked over the Internet.

These statistics are matters of record and essential to disproving the hack theory. No Internet service provider, such as a hacker would have had to use in mid-2016, was capable of downloading data at this speed.”

The Forensicator concluded that the files provided to Wikileaks could only have been downloaded by an insider with full access to the DNC network and system using a portable device (flash drive).

Time stamps in the metadata provide further evidence of what happened on July 5. The stamps recording the download indicate that it occurred in the Eastern Daylight Time Zone at approximately 6:45 pm. This confirms that the person entering the DNC system was working somewhere on the East Coast of the United States.”

Further compounding the phony hacking story is the fact that the DNC refused to provide its servers to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for analysis. Instead, it relied on its cyber-security consultant, Crowdstrike, to announce, without providing one shred of evidence, that malware was found on DNC servers.

The firm also claimed it had evidence Russians were responsible for planting it. But that claim has not been independently verified. We’re just supposed to take Crowdstrike’s word for it.

Apparently the Mueller team likes Swiss cheese, because the Russian hacking story has more holes in it than a truckload of Swiss cheese wheels.

The Left and its compliant media have invested so much in the Russia hacking and collusion myths that even hard evidence that relies on the laws of physics can’t dissuade them. Fortunately, there are still experts out there who’re willing to take an objective look and buck the so-called conventional wisdom to get to the truth.
