#2 After examining metadata from the "Guccifer 2.0" July 5, 2016 intrusion into the DNC server, independent cyber Sherlocks have concluded that an insider copied DNC data onto an external storage device, and that "telltale signs" implicating Russia were then inserted.

Further confirming an internal Intelligence Community and 'Deep State' deception campaign.

Would CIA be that incompetent?

#4 It certainly would be to Russia's benefit to spread the idea that it wasn't them, and even more to their pleasure to watch the infighting that results when enough people believe it.

That it is probably true is incidental.

Secret budgets are highly prized. There are mission and funding rivalries.

What does it mean that this could be said about most everything in DC?

Couple that with all the other agencies practicing deception that lean and vote left.

Russia as well as China, Iran, NK and others who have an agenda counter to that of the U.S.. Being able to depend upon an intelligence community that is not playing internal political games and is doing its job is absolutely essential.

#8 Wouldn't be surprised if China or the Ukraine helped fund this little game.

Both have interests in seeing Russia and the US go toe to toe.

If you have the MSM on your side you don't have to be competent. Baraq proved that for us. Please note the source here is Zerohedge. If that's the only outlet that will run with this information the public at large will never see or hear of it.

So why couldn't our governmental cyber sleuths come up with this?

#11 Could it be that the Hillary campaign and the DNC had no interest in having anyone really delve into this because of the huge can of worms that would be opened?

#12 Would CIA be that incompetent?

Yes they would, they've proven it times and times again!

From Besoeker in a comment yesterday:

CIA has historically a bad record of their support turning around to bit us in the ass. They think short term, rarely long term.

Well documented:

Support for Castro in Cuban Revolution, Bay of Pigs, Vietnam Tet Offensive, The Yom Kippur War, Iranian Revolution, Russian invasion of Afghanistan, Collapse of the Soviet Union, Indian Nuclear test, Pakistani Nuclear test, Iraqi invasion, 9/11 attacks, Hasenfus C-123 shoot down and Gun running in Nicaragua & El Salvador, Suicide attack by Dr. Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi at FOB Chapman, AFG. Obama documents clean up at State Department Passport Office, Betrayal of Jailed Pakistani doctor Shakil Afridi in 'made for TeeVee' Bin Laden take down.

Probables:

Benghazi, The Nidal Hassan and Anwar al-Awlaki caper, The traveling Tsarnaev brothers, GITMO Catch and Release program, Sergeant Bergdahl prisoner exchange, pallets of USD and Swiss Frncs to Iran via unmarked planes, Access of Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya.

Just to name a few.

It's possible. It's also possible that the adulteration occurred after the data breach had been discovered (and dealt with) and the external storage device recovered.

#14 Pappy, the recovery of the external storage device from whom? This does tie into the Seth Rich story and the curious details of the hospital treatment, crime scene omissions (lack of witness interviews at the bar, video tape search) and the odd lack of further investigation enthusiasm, almost as if someone thought it was a rock no one wanted turned over and the enormous mess under it demanding actions of great consequence?

#15 Seeking, there is a difference between stupidity and technical incompetence. Personally, I think it was Debby's Pak bros.

#16 A difference? I think it's both. Debbie Pak Bros did a fine job of pulling the wool over the Dems and CIA eyes!

Almost, NBS.

Really, I'm thinking it's NSA, NASA, Various non-spy agencies that has the best programming expertise. Oh wait, you said "have access". yes if you have or throw enough money you can get access to the best. Right now I get the impression that the CIA has some of the best kiddie script users around.

Mossad OTOH do have some of the best, Heck, even the CIA go to them from what I understand when they need something that works!

#22 Wait -- how was the CIA involved with the Yom Kippur War?

#23 Wait -- how was the CIA involved with the Yom Kippur War?

IIRC It was mostly the CIA doing what they are famous for doing: Not seeing it coming! Or if they saw something, they dismissed the intelligence.

Two links that may help. one is ironically from the CIA itself.

Excessive Reliance on Deterrence Theory: the American Intelligence Failure to Anticipate the Yom Kippur War in 1973

Failure of the U.S. intelligence community

The U.S. intelligence community—which includes the CIA—failed to predict in advance the Egyptian-Syrian attack on Israel. A U.S. intelligence report as late as October 4 still stated that "We continue to believe that an outbreak of major Arab–Israeli hostilities remains unlikely for the immediate future".[290] However, one U.S. government source that was able to predict the approaching war was Roger Merrick, an analyst working for the INR (Intelligence and Research section in the State Department), but his conclusions were ignored at the time, and the report he had written to that effect was only rediscovered by U.S. government archive officials in 2013.
