The Democratic National Committee tells BuzzFeed News that the bureau “never requested access” to the servers the White House and intelligence community say were hacked by Russia. WASHINGTON — The FBI did not examine the servers of the Democratic National Committee before issuing a report attributing the sweeping cyberintrusion to Russia-backed hackers, BuzzFeed News has learned. Six months after the FBI first said it was investigating the hack of the Democratic National Committee’s computer network, the bureau has still not requested access to the hacked servers, a DNC spokesman said. No US government entity has run an independent forensic analysis on the system, one US intelligence official told BuzzFeed News. “The DNC had several meetings with representatives of the FBI’s Cyber Division and its Washington (DC) Field Office, the Department of Justice’s National Security Division, and U.S. Attorney’s Offices, and it responded to a variety of requests for cooperation, but the FBI never requested access to the DNC’s computer servers,” Eric Walker, the DNC’s deputy communications director, told BuzzFeed News in an email. The FBI has instead relied on computer forensics from a third-party tech security company, CrowdStrike, which first determined in May of last year that the DNC’s servers had been infiltrated by Russia-linked hackers, the U.S. intelligence official told BuzzFeed News. “CrowdStrike is pretty good. There’s no reason to believe that anything that they have concluded is not accurate,” the intelligence official said, adding they were confident Russia was behind the widespread hacks. The FBI declined to comment. https://www.buzzfeed.com/alimwatkin...mputer-servers?utm_term=.wgMZJbNpa#.bgLDk3Ar4
LOL! Love it. The FBI now outsourcing intelligence to third party companies and releasing reports on it.
It just gets better. Apparently, the above article is a another lie/spin/fake news from libtards. The DNC refused to allow the FBI to have access to the servers. Rather the DNC demanded that the FBI rely solely on info from a third party as paid for by the DNC. Libtards have absolutely NO morals whatsoever. https://www.wired.com/2017/01/fbi-says-democratic-party-wouldnt-let-agents-see-hacked-email-servers/ Ahead of this announcement, the DNC told Buzzfeed on Wednesday that neither the FBI nor any other intelligence agency ever did an independent assessment of the organization’s breached servers. Instead, they alleged, the FBI relied exclusively on information from private digital forensics company Crowdstrike. Now the FBI is refuting this account of the events. In a statement to WIRED, a senior FBI law enforcement official wrote in an email Thursday that “The FBI repeatedly stressed to DNC officials the necessity of obtaining direct access to servers and data, only to be rebuffed until well after the initial compromise had been mitigated.” This contrasts with what DNC deputy communications director Eric Walker told Buzzfeed in an email: “The DNC had several meetings with representatives of the FBI’s Cyber Division and its Washington (DC) Field Office, the Department of Justice’s National Security Division, and U.S. Attorney’s Offices, and it responded to a variety of requests for cooperation, but the FBI never requested access to the DNC’s computer servers.” In its statement, the FBI agreed with the DNC’s implication that it had instead relied on data from Crowdstrike. But the Bureau points the finger for its lack of independent evaluation squarely at the DNC. According to the FBI official, “This left the FBI no choice but to rely upon a third party for information. These actions caused significant delays and inhibited the FBI from addressing the intrusion earlier.”
This is why Trump shoots his mouth off. It's a lawyer tactic. He's trolling them. He knows they fucked up, and he's forcing the issue.
Here is today's fake news from CNN... Intel report: Putin directly ordered effort to influence election http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/06/politics/intelligence-report-putin-election/index.html
Here is the direct link to the federal government report on "Russian hacking" for those who want to read the direct 25 page source. https://www.dni.gov/files/documents/ICA_2017_01.pdf
from "The propaganda efforts included Russian state-owned media outlets like Russia Today and Sputnik casting Trump as "the target of unfair coverage from traditional US media outlets" as well as Russian propaganda officials casting Trump during the campaign as a victim of the US political establishment." omg that is simply the truth. It seems the USA intelligence agencies havecturned into leftist mouthpieces.

It is amazing that all the report does is outline how the media coverage on Russia Today was an attempt to influence our election. What an incredible bias coming from Huffpo and CNN. This is why an increasing number of people in the U.S. don't trust the media.
