My theory: all our cyber systems public and private are under constant attack. Therefore, if you ever need to claim that some group was trying to mess with your computers, it will nearly always be true, one way or another. The democrats and mainstream media find themselves in a position where it would be extremely convenient to leak a report on Russian hacking of election stuff in 2016 specifically.

I'm picturing one of the higher ups saying "the story is that Russian hackers messed with our election.. make that true! Find me something."

At the NSA there are probably tens of thousands of reports on all manner of actors attempting all sorts of nefarious things. If the story had needed to be thar the Iranians are trying to hack into our schools, I'm sure somewhere is a report that could support that narrative as well.

I just feel bad for Reality Winner because she is surely being used, one way or another.

Top-Secret NSA Report Details Russian Hacking Effort Days Before 2016 Election

'The report indicates that Russian hacking may have penetrated further into U.S. voting systems than was previously understood. '

'So on August 24, 2016, the Russian hackers sent spoofed emails purporting to be from Google to employees of an unnamed U.S. election software company, according to the NSA report. '

'EAC also accredits testing laboratories and certifies voting systems,” but it is a backwater commission with no real authority. '

'The report adds significant new detail to the picture that emerged from the unclassified intelligence assessment about Russian election meddling released by the Obama administration in January. '

'Durham’s voter rolls were run by VR Systems — the same firm that was compromised by the Russian hack, according to the NSA document. '
