What Game Is Russia Playing?
2016-12-13
h/t Instapundit
Reports Friday that U.S. intelligence agencies believe Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential campaign to tilt the election in favor of Donald Trump have sown precisely the kind of confusion that American adversaries must have hoped for with their actions. In an effort to reach some sort of clarity, let's break the matter down into two separate questions--Was it Russia that hacked the Democratic National Committee's servers? Did the culprits hack the servers in order to secure a Trump victory?
IMO, what smartest Americans don't understand - or are not willing to believe - is that post-Soviet Russians have much better understanding of Hillary & her supporters than Americans themselves. Russians understand that these people are Khmer Rouge with nukes.

#3  I can see why the CIA thinks the Rooskis were involved. Finding that russians_wer_hear.txt file in the server root directory is a dead giveaway.

#2  most "Cracks" (not hacks, that's coding) are insider leaks.

#1  Under the fold, they also hack the RNC only to find boring management and business exchanges. That it was so boring it has sparked so little interest. The dog that didn't bark.
