The Leaked Report on Russian Hacking


If you'd like to see the leaked government document on Russian interference in our Presidential election, you can find it by googling Intercept. I sometimes find Intercept annoying, but it is a serious and responsible news source that does not cater to corporate advertisers. Intercept insisted on publishing this leaked document, for example, but did redact some sections at the intelligence community's request.

You will recall Putin's recent lies that the hacking had been done informally by patriotic Russian civilians.  The leaked government report "states unequivocally in its summary statement that it was Russian military intelligence, specifically the Russian General Staff Main Intelligence Directorate, or GRU, that conducted the cyber attacks described in the document."
