What if the DNC Russian “hack” was really a leak after all? A new report raises questions media and Democrats would rather ignore

This article links to the "top level" report by a totally right wing research team (none of which are top level anymore, nor do any have security access-VIPS) which links to two sources. One of which links to the other as its primary source. The other and final (re:only) source is The Forensicator. A single topic, anonymous 6 page, 5 article blog. One article is a thank you note to the second source linked by VIPS. Three articles which link back to the "feature article as their only source. So essentially The Forensicator is a one page analysis made to look like a full reporting source.

So, the final single solitary analysis article that all of this is surreptitiously based around has no peer review and no accreditation whatsoever.

Granted i am in no way able to understand what it says, but because of all the flim flam source switchback it has to be viewed in comparison to the numerous USA Govt Agencies that have consistently told us that there is possible proof of hacking and there is indeed current investigations into it; it should be compared to the numerous accredited media sourced articles that portend to lay out the trail of hacking, an en-paneled federal grand jury, predawn housing raids by the fbi, an embattled lead prosecutor, a fired fbi director based on his willingness to investigate, a recused attorney general that has been threatened with firing by the focus of the investigation and at the very least compared to the thousands of decent quality reddit responses that go deeply into the same info the forensicator seems to have access to.

So to me, imho, it comes down to trust. If this Forensicator source is so valid then indeed there is a massive all encompassing deep state conspiracy that involves tens(maybe hundreds) of thousands of US Military, Intelligence and civilian agents that range across every single facet of the govt. and world.

Or this Forensicator and the links and sources (which a child could make look real in an afternoon) is far reaching at best, total crackpot bullshit at worst.

So, i would keep my money on the service men and women of the usa, the patriots in the intelligence agencies and be skeptical of the Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity(VIPS). (i mean come on: "for sanity", really?... one would be skeptical of this group just based on the name alone despite all the other mess, at best they are highly biased based on their past reports and memos, at worst this is a treasonous disinformation outfit)

I appreciate you posting the article, it has decent questions that has offered me a bit more insight into the situation, if only they were based on quality sources as, in the end, when it comes down to it, this is all based on trust because few people understand the nuts and bolts of it. I trust the USA intelligence and military agencies over the Russian leadership.
