    SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - U.S. indictments against a dozen Russian intelligence officers on Friday provided detailed technical evidence to back up allegations of Russian hacking and leaking of information to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

    By tracing control of email and social media accounts and a tool for remote internet connections, the 29-page indictment document for the first time showed that the same group of Russians leased servers, targeted Democratic officials with phishing tricks aimed at capturing their online credentials and communicated with Republicans and other distributors of hacked information.
    ....
    “The interesting aspects of this indictment cover how connections were made between services due to reused email addresses, bitcoin wallets, and infrastructure. The Russians didn’t hide themselves that well.”

    So much for the “omg they need the server” nonsense being pedals by the RW.
    I’ve said all along that we have no idea the scope of the Intel we’ve collected on these scumbags. As I’ve suggested, the fbi likely knew who was behind this before they got corroboration from crowdstrike.

    Interesting Reuters article. No link to the indictment and in spite of the claim that it, "provided detailed technical evidence to back up allegations of Russian hacking and leaking of information to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election," didn't actually provide detailed technical evidence.

    Severs, emails, social media, crypto currency....that’s fairly detailed.

    So what do you plan on doing about it?

    Should we go to war with Russia over it?

    Send millions of young men to their deaths because your Queen didn't win the presidency?

    Nope.

    Just send Trump and all of his associated treasonous Republican co-conspirators to join him and them in Russia with Putin.

    Plus it is time to try out Trump's concept of stripping American citizenship for these traitors!

    Will you guys knock off the Putin crap. It was the Clintons who received money from Russia and it was Clinton who sold him our uranium.

    A good start would be publicly demanding these guys be extradited. Maybe if they do that the sanctions won’t be as bad.
    I dont know anyone suggesting invasion lol

    Can you explain why Putin/Russia would give the Clintons tens of millions of dollars. You guys keep telling us Russia is our sworn enemy, why take their money? Russia and China owned the Clintons just like Islam owned Obama.

    they didn’t give the Clintons millions. The money you’re talking about was mostly from Canadians and before she was even SOS.
    Not that any of these sad distractions make your defense of Russian espionage logical

    Anything Trump did with Russia happened before he was ever a politician, but that doesn't stop you guys. Obama had more flexibility and Clinton had her reset button and was invited into Putin's inner sanctum, but that doesn't stop you guys. Obama limp wristed with commies in Cuba and that doesn't stop you guys. And the left has always loved communism and that hasn't stopped you guys. You libs, all of you, need to stop taking orders from CNN.

    Yes colluding with Russia (allegedly) to get elected would have to happen before you got elected. Makes sense.

    Fbi never needed it. It won’t be the evidence against the Russians, so good luck demanding it.

    Still no evidence yet, you’re the one who admitted he had dealings with Russia before the election. I assumed that’s what you meant.

    Still no applause for the fine work of out investigators?
    Think how confident we’ll all feel no matter how this ends?

    He also had dealings with Clinton. Does that make him or her the communist and which one is the traitor?

    Yes, but then we have to redefine it because it wasn't a "hack" in the sense of a virus or a program infiltrating the system(as the publicly released report kind of tried to sell it as a larger attack than what it really was). Technically, the Russians didn't "hack" the DNC server/computers, the DNC users unwittingly and stupidly allowed them by clicking the links provided.

    Ironically, this would've never succeeded if Podesta knew about how Google works. It will NEVER ask you for your password, or to change your password. That's the fine print in every social media terms of agreement(which I typically skip over because we know all this stuff.)

    What the Russians did was wrong, and a crime. But let's not make the Dems out to be victims of anything but their own incompetence. Would you trust unwitting idiots with our national security?

    We've been told that this is "interference in our election" and a threat to our system, but draw all the hyperbole down and you realize the actuality behind the crimes and the real seriousness.

    It was a low level attempt, that succeeded due to poor intelligence on the part of Clinton's IT people.
