On Hillary, I fully support Hillary facing repercussions for having a private email server. Even if she doesn't know anything about technology a breach of protocol like that would be enough for a smaller peon to lose their security clearance. They likely wouldn't face any jail time or other repercussions unless someone could prove malicious intent or compromised data, but it is still a huge mess up.

If you are familiar with the cyber security world, which I'm assuming you are not, I could be wrong, but we can identify "entities" based on the tools they use. These tools require a significant amount of resources to build and are powerful enough that they are not used once or twice. By checking out where these tools are used, we can identify their political motivations, anarchy, anti-capitalist, pro-state agendas etc. Even some of the tools used by the US are known and identify US actors. We put a lot of money into cyber security and espionage (more than any other nation, or every other nation combined) and try to shake up the targets we use them on, but a lot of people in the world still see/suspect where the US gov's fingerprints are.

Again, this is all public knowledge, you can get a job in cyber security and without a security clearance access what tools are being used where.

My question is, if the NSA or CIA have tech or contacts that reveal that this is 100% Russia, do you think these leaked emails merrit disclosing said technology or contacts even if it compromises future security efforts?

If after we compromise future security purposes and disclose information that satisfies you to believe it was Russia, what do you think the US response should be?
