The So-called Russian Hack of the DNC Does Not Make Sense by Publius Tacitus
Notwithstanding the conventional wisdom that Russia hacked into the DNC computers, downloaded emails and a passed the stolen missives to Julian Assange's crew at Wikileaks, a careful examination of the timeline of events from 2016 shows that this story is simply not plausible.
Good sensible piece, Marty, thanks. That simple timeline dispels a lot of confusion.
Earlier I wrote that I was unclear about whom the DNC may have contacted for help with the intrusions, because I hadn't heard of law enforcement being contacted (still haven't) but it's clear to me now that the DNC brought in CrowdStrike. The whole CrowdStrike thing struck me as more public relations than forensics; the DNC got the answer it wanted. All before any emails were published.
I'm just thinking out loud here...Assuming the "intelligence community" is out to get Assange & Wikileaks, what better smear (after a rape charge failed to have the full desired effect) than to associate Assange with Darth Putin and the evil Russian empire.

fwiw ....Burkman's latest:
A new TV ad that has begun running in Washington, D.C. and then goes national, seeks leads in the unsolved murder of DNC staffer Seth Rich features Russian subtitles.
Months ago I set up a Google News alert for Seth Rich, and ya know what I get? Nothing. Zero.

I'm not surprised......his case likely buried in the MPDC unsolved case catacombs.
Deep condolences to his family, if their fate is to join the ranks of other families in futile efforts to find answers from the revolving squad of Cold Case detectives assigned as the grim & silent gate-keepers of those icy vaults.
(I know it may not seem relevant to the case itself, and Washington's not Chicago or Baltimore, but it is the Nation's Capital, so fwiw..... the current list of the other names--and faces; none high-profile-- belonging to the case load of unsolved murders in 2016 D.C.:
