      For some reason the RU attack on Merkel has to be redacted but the one on Macron doesn't have to be, perhaps bc of the contractor attribution that France has since refuted.pic.twitter.com/hUPjKhGdzd

          There are a number of places where the treatment of Guccifer 2.0 is insufficiently critical and reliant on dated analysis. But this one is particularly weak, given the analysis of the files in question and the dismissal, elsewhere, of counter explanations.pic.twitter.com/Cm7mcNadnk

          HPSCI relies on a problematic NYT article to support claim that Wikileaks benefits RU. The case can be made, but HPSCI should in no way rely on that article.pic.twitter.com/uxFWHoCtPQ

          There are methodological problems w/HPSCI's treatment of RU use of social media that others will cover in more depth. In short, they don't consider the non-paid use of SM (except by RT) at length, especially WRT relative impact.

          PDF 52/p 42 has a description of what DHS did that is a more detailed a nuanced version of efforts to warn states than has been publicly reported.

          Interesting that these redactions aren't bc classified (the paragraph is marked U and it's not been struck out). They're just redacted.

          Guccifer 2.0 seemed sketchy. Anyone can claim responsibility and the fact is that there were 2 sets of DNC files makes it even sketchier. One with east coast metadata and one potentially using the CIA marble framework to frame Russia (and/or discredit journalists).

          Funny, it's *only* Crowdstrike which has attributed the DNC hack with anything approaching substantiation.
