How the Government Proved Their Case against John Podesta's Hacker - emptywheel
We're almost seven years past the hack of the DNC, and self-imagined contrarians are still clinging to conspiracy theories about the attribution of that and related hacks.In recent weeks, both Matt Taibbi and Jeff Gerth dodged questions about the attribution showing Russia's role in the hack-and-leak by saying that the Mueller indictment of twelve GRU officers would never be tested in court (even while, especially in Gerth's case, relying on unsubstantiated claims in John Durham indictments from his two failed prosecutions).
