Otherwise the evidence for Russian hackers is nowhere as good as the evidence for Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction.<br /><br />At one point there was a claim that a hacker was using the name Фе́ликс Эдму́ндович (Felix Edmundovich), that is Felix Dzerzhinsky of Cheka fame and left this on the server. This sounds more like a couple of undergrad or high school hackers waving flag saying "Hi, see us we're Russians". Try not to be too obvious!<br /><br />And quite honestly unless the Russians wanted Hilary to win--quite possible--there is no way they are stupid enough to let it appear that they were supporting Trump. Americans are paranoid about Russia---many don't seem to have gotten the news that the USSR has collapsed.<br /><br />I would not be surprised if the Russians hacked the Democratic servers. Heck they were probably in a queue with the Chinese, the NSA, perhaps UK, and as I have suggested before some geek in his parents' basement in Cleveland.jrkrideauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04869979887929067657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-54562242730319281722016-12-02T12:44:27.877-05:002016-12-02T12:44:27.877-05:00Fascism has come to America.
