Quote:This is wrong. The CIA didn't say anything.


 

A reporter from The Washington Post, a partisan Democrat publication, said that an ANONYMOUS SOURCE claimed that the CIA had evidence that a Russian or Russians hacked the US election. No federal official has come forth with the evidence.


 

This is right now in the realm of a bigfoot sighting.


Funny it's always Russia. I would have guessed that China, with lots of tech savvy citizens, would be the most likely country to hack into US politics. But Putin makes a much better boogeyman.

 

The NYT report says it all. Sources must be anonymous in professional reporting, as anybody who reads the news can easily figure out. Have you ever noticed anonymous sources talk to Ian Rapoport? Does an official source have no credibility just because his/her name is not published when in fact the reported event actually happened? They are anonymous in the media because telling secrets is an easy way to get a pink slip.  If you worked for the CIA, you could get all of the proof you want that Russia hacked DNC emails for a specific purpose, then get fired for posting that information here.
