A little cold water on the hysteria.

But it wasn’t the Intelligence Community that said ‘Russia hacked the DNC’... a play that was about getting you to ignore the CONTENT of Hillary/DNC emails. (Thus the quip ‘Russia rigged our elections by exposing how our elections are rigged.’).

It was Brennan and Clapper and a dozen ‘handpicked’ analysts from just 3 agencies. Even then the NSA boys only said ‘moderate confidence’ which is analyst speak for ‘we have no real evidence.’ The CIA and FBI analysts, relying on the DNC-linked CrowdStrike analysis of a server they never examined, said ‘high confidence’ which means ‘we can’t prove this but we totally believe it was Russia’s government because wouldn’t it be just like those aggressive Russkis?’
