You don’t have to be super smart to follow what happened here. The DNC refused to allow the FBI investigate the hacking of their servers. Why?
It’s been known for some time that the US Government based its conclusion that Russia hacked the Democratic National Committee (DNC) on a report by cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike, which the DNC paid over a million dollarsto conduct forensic analysis on servers theyrefused to hand over to the FBI.
CrowdStrike’s report made its way a joint FBI/DHS report on an Russia’s “Grizzly Steppe“, which concluded Russia hacked the DNC’s servers. Crowdstrike’s claim has drawn scrutiny from cybersecurity experts according to former Breitbart reporter Lee Stranahan.
Now, thanks to a new court filing by longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone requesting the full Crowdstrike analysis, we find out that the US government was given a redacted version of the report marked “Draft,” as reported by the Conservative Treehouse.
What makes the whole thing even more hokey is a footnote admitting that “counsel for the DNC and DCCC informed the government that they are the last version of the report produced.”
So to be clear – the entire narrative that Russia hacked the DNC is based on a redacted draft of a report which Crowdstrike appears not to have even finalized.

I missed the previous DOJ filing, but this seems significant. The DOJ informed the court it doesn’t have the unredacted Crowdstrike reports. https://t.co/xJHC6ntroc
