Marcy Wheeler (@emptywheel) breaking down the evidence behind the Russian hack, and what's needed to substantiate it https://www.emptywheel.net/2016/12/10/evidence-prove-russian-hack/ …

Did it actually change election results? I think I agree with Marcy here, it seems questionable. But again, it's not nothing.
-
The last bit I want to throw out tonight is that actual intent may be hard to gauge because no one here knows what they're doing
-
Maybe there were just a lot of balls in the air and the Russian government didn't really have a consensus on what outcome they wanted
-
And maybe WikiLeaks was just doing the thing that WikiLeaks does, which is to be a gross Twitter egg that screencaps documents and yells
-
Maybe the RNC emails were hacked but weren't withheld on purpose, it was just a ball in the air that got dropped
-
(Note that Powell's—a Republican—emails came out!)
-
and maybe the RNC emails weren't hacked because someone just neglected to target them, a pure accident of history
-
No matter what the real story is, I still think it's really bad. Sure, maybe it's not some apocalyptic treason plot, but it's still bad.
-
And if you want to just dismiss it all, I'm like, where the fuck do you get off on that?

In terms of whether to take this seriously, it seems irrelevant whether the goal was to make Trump win or just to spread FUD.

And the fuck does it matter? People are using an FBI-CIA fight over motives as a way to pretend the actions didn't happen.
