Re: Enjoy President Trump, Courtesy of The Kremlin
Odd that, given that wikileaks gained its fame by releasing documents regarding the Bush Administration, at which time it was the darling of the Democrats. I guess Julian Assange must have switched parties, or maybe he just loves Donald Trump so much.Strontium Dog wrote:Funny how they didn't release any dirt on Trump before the election, even though he's probably the dirtiest candidate in American electoral history.Forty Two wrote:Now that Trump is President, I have no reason to think Wikileaks won't release dirt they get on his administration.

It could very well be that Wikileaks specializes in leaking government documents and Trump wasn't in government. Now he is.

Re: Enjoy President Trump, Courtesy of The Kremlin
Clapper said that the intelligence they have says they did. He's lied to Congress' face before. I don't "claim" he's lying. I just don't know if he is or isn't, because they just want us to believe what they say without evidence.pErvin wrote:Clapper said they did in front of Congress. You can claim he is lying (which you have essentially done), and that's fine. But if he is telling the truth, then what happened can never be understood to be 'in support of democracy'.

"Evidentiary value = 0" http://thehill.com/policy/cybersecurity ... ing-report
I don't care if Russia supports democracy or not. Much of what Russia is being accused of "doing" is not hacking, but propaganda. That's not the same thing. If they're hacking, then the US government should be doing something about it. If they're doing something substantial, they haven't said so.
The "hacking" in the report sounds more like a phishing scam that Podesta fell for, or someone got ahold of a phone when left unattended. Unfortunately, it's hard to tell because the reports are painfully vague, nonspecific, and conflated with non-hacking activities.
And, look at the latest report - in "golden shower gate." It's absurd. Apparently, the intelligence services took a bunch of made-up shit seriously.

I didn't say i would believe anyone, and any allusion to there being more evidence. Clapper is a perjurer. He lied to Congress' face about the NSA data collection and explained it later as "clearly erroneous" and that he spoke in the "least untruthful" way he could. He fucking lied. So, someone who already lied to Congress doesn't have much of a reputation to stake when asking us to believe another intelligence matter.
Further, the statement needed to be quite clear. A vague statement that somewhere there is information that we can't disclose to you because of sources and methods is not good enough when it's not connected TO THE FUCKING HACKING. We have a report that relates mostly to things that ARE NOT HACKING, and then there is less than one page dedicated to "cyber espionage" and that less than one page DOES NOT SAY THAT RUSSIA HACKED ANYTHING. And, then there is at the top a boilerplate statement saying that we can't always show you everything because of sources and methods.
We still don't know if there is evidence that supports a Russia did hacking claim that they aren't disclosing us. The "undisclosed evidence" might relate to the overall efforts of Russia to influence American elections, which the report says at the outset is a long-standing, decades long, effort on their part.
And, when I say I would be "more apt" and that it would be more believable to me if someone clearly put their name and reputation to it I clearly explained that what that meant was someone was going to say that we ACTUALLY HAVE EVIDENCE THAT RUSSIA DID THE HACKING (or whatever they specifically did), and we can't show you because of sources and methods. Nobody did that.
So fuck off.

Re: Enjoy President Trump, Courtesy of The Kremlin
Clapper's name isn't worth much, because of his previous perjury. I did not say that I would accept at face value anything anyone said that supported the report. It depends, of course, on exactly what they say. I asked you to look at what Clapper exactly said in support of the report. Speaking out "in support of" a report is different than saying that there is evidence that Russia did various incidents of hacking and we have evidence for it that I can tell you is clear and convincing, and we just can't show you because of sources and methods. First, someone needs to be very, very clear about that, and second, the person doing the vouching has to be credible. Why would I believe Clapper? He doesn't mind lying to Congress, and making the "least untruthful" statement possible.pErvin wrote:
You are doing again what you did in that other thread. You are mixing two separate issues, for what reason I don't know (none that I can think of are flattering to you). One issue is that Clapper and the CIA etc are lying. The issue you were talking about and I was responding to was someone "[putting] their name on it.... 'I put my reputation on it'." Clapper put his name and reputation on it.![]()
I never said that all I need is someone, anyone, to vouch for the report, even in a vague, general way, and I'd accept it's conclusions hook, line and sinker. I said I would be "more apt" to credit the report if someone went on record and clearly said that Russia hacked and there was clear evidence of it which can't be disclosed because of security reasons. Nobody did that, not even Clapper, and Clapper doesn't have a great reputation to be vouching for stuff.

All I've ever argued you piece of shit, is that I don't believe the report on faith, and I need to see the evidence which I have not seen. I.e., I've argue that it hasn't been proved. So go fuck yourself.pErvin wrote:I never said it's been proved. Is it too much to ask that you could follow the actual debate?Have you really been given enough information to believe that it's been proved, yet?
Is it "too much to ask that you could follow the actual debate?" You argue so dishonestly, that it's not even funny. This IS the actual debate, fuck nuts. That's what I've been arguing. It has not been proved. The intelligence reports don't prove that Russia did the hacking, and there is no reason, at this point, to believe the things that have not been substantiated.

Second, I've asked you to link to the transcript you're referring to, and we'll all see EXACTLY what Clapper said. His exact words are important. Go ahead, give us the exact words you're relying to say he "stated" that "Russia hacked and interfered."
Watch for the conflation of different activities - Clapper talked about Russia’s “multifaceted campaign” against the U.S. He said, for example, that RT, which is funded by the Russian government was “very, vert active in promoting a particular point of view, disparaging our system, our alleged hypocrisy about human rights, etc.” Now, I'd like you to direct me to the testimony of Mr. Clapper wherein he says that Russia hacked the DNC, or hacked computer systems involved in the election. Or, what other computer systems were hacked?

The repeated links to evidence by the "private cyber security firm" has been addressed on the thread. I haven't ignored it. It doesn't prove Russia hacked anything. They suspect Russia, based on some methodological analysis, but there is no concrete evidence that Russia hacked the DNC.
