So let's review what we know: 1) In September, CIA briefed this, and McConnell (who's unreliable) didn't buy it. https://www.emptywheel.net/2016/12/09/unpacking-new-cia-leak-dont-ignore-aluminum-tube-footnote/ …

Trust me! I don't want Trump as President. I'd LOVE if there's good reason to declare him--& Pence!!--unfit. Yeah!! CIA saves US democracy!
-
But this is not, yet, all IC assessment.
-
If it is--esp if they'll share assessment! esp if proof it affected election--then by all means let's declare the election null and void.
-
Separate issues. Question isn't so much whether it tipped the election, but specific motivation to throw support behind Trump /2
-
I'd LOVE if there's a way to legitimately have electors vote against. But...
-
If Poot failed in his efforts, bc Comey is a self-righteous ass and bc Hillary doesn't know where WI is on a map, then what?
-
Ultimately, if electors want to vote v Trump, by all means they can. I guess I support an elector briefing b4 they vote

I've updated my post to incorporate NYT RNC piece. https://www.emptywheel.net/2016/12/09/unpacking-new-cia-leak-dont-ignore-aluminum-tube-footnote/ … https://twitter.com/bobbybaird/status/807437472544260096 …

It raises two issues. First: was it FSB or GRU that hacked RNC? If the former, well, the FSB is not believed to have leaked. Just GRU is.
-
Also, claim that "largely documents from Dem Party systems" were leaked? HUGE exception to this is Powell's emails. Those didn't help Trump.
-
Nor did they harm Trump. They did provide cover/diversion for motive of the hacking, making it look “nonpartisan”
-
There's a lot more that DC Leaks leaked. They were even still leaking post-election!
-
Most commentary on it has been what gets reported, not what got leaked, unlike WL. There's other stuff there, tho could be Ukraine
-
Do you think someone other than GRU hacked the RNC, and kept the “take” for themselves yet were misidentified by CIA?
-
Dunno. I'll have to look but one earlier analysis noted that RNC did not use Gmail or other that GRU had regular fakes for.

Also the only recourse Dems have to pressure GOP elected Reps who decided to throw all norms/respectability out of the window
