- Bears in the Midst: Intrusion into the Democratic National Committee, the original blog post by Dmitri Alperovitch, CEO of cyber security company CrowdStrike, describing in precise technical detail the Russian intrusion into the DNC network
- The Russian Expat Leading the Fight to Protect America, a more biographical article on Alperovitch, who is obviously another of the brilliant Russian software engineers that we in Silicon Valley have become so familiar with over the last several decades. I find it amusing that the leaders of the DNC were such boobs when it came to cyber security that they needed to be protected from the smart Russians by a smart Russian.
- The Long Fall of Debbie Wasserman Schultz, which reports: "the leaked emails ... clearly showed the committee’s posture of neutrality in the Democratic primary to have been a hollow pretense, just as Bernie Sanders and his supporters long contended. ... The litany of Wasserman Schultz’s offenses during the primary was familiar to supporters of Sanders and other Clinton rivals: scheduling debates at odd times, shutting Sanders out of the party’s data file, stacking convention committees with Clinton supporters."
- Donna Brazile Shared Additional Debate Questions With Clinton Campaign, Identified Her Tipster, which reports: "Donna Brazile, the interim chair of the Democratic National Committee, began providing town hall and debate questions to the Clinton campaign earlier than previously known, emails released by WikiLeaks on Monday show."
- The email sent by Donna Brazile providing Jennifer Palmieri, the Director of Communications for the Clinton campaign, with the debate question, is undoubtedly authentic, which reports: "I was just listening to ABC News about this story. It repeated Democrat talking points that the WikiLeaks emails weren't validated. That's a lie. This email in particular has been validated." The author of the blog post demonstrates how he verified the authenticity of Brazile's email with a DKIM verifier. DKIM is a completely reliable email verification method that relies on digital signatures. DKIM verifies the source of the email and guarantees that the email has not been tampered with or altered in any way. In other words, Donna Brazile not only intentionally and unfairly tried to influence the outcome of the Democratic primary, but then, when caught with her hand in the cookie jar, lied about it.
In sum:
- Yes, the Russians did hack the DNC and sought to influence the American elections (so shut the fuck up, Donald).
- On the other hand, two successive DNC chairwomen, Debbie Wasserman Schulz and Donna Brazile, actively worked to undermine Bernie Sanders and favor Hillary Clinton, thereby seeking to influence the American elections, and Brazile told brazen lies about and attempted to cover up her actions.
I am waiting for Barack Obama to expel Wasserman Schultz and Brazile from the United States for trying to influence American elections unfairly.
