This is an important story. But the IC seems to be overstating role June strategy paper could have on March hacks.https://twitter.com/cchoksy/status/854789724971642881 …
Yes. The March stuff was not hacking, and they admit it was a separate effort. That's actually an important point.

I get that everyone wants one coherent narrative but IC's clumping of everything together as "Grizzly Steppe" undermines valid analysis.

Just as an example, I'd bet a great deal of $$ we could find equally "incriminating" stuff abt USG messaging around RU's 2011 elections.

There is *no doubt* that one take away from how bad Trump-Russia... is that the US needs to stop being imperialist.
-
I don't think messaging is being imperialist. Everyone does it. It helps that our media outlets are way more effective tho.
-
There's other stuff that is more imperialist, tho, which also was one reason Putin hacked DNC.
-
Yeah, my basic view is countries have a right to complain about external interventions and/but past wrongs don't make Russia-Trump right.
-
Sure. But I would distinguish between propaganda, which everyone does, and hacking-and-leaking, which is still rare (tho not unprecedented)

If the American electorate is so fragile that it cannot even withstand what happens when Silicon Valley products get turned against us...
