EXCLUSIVE: Cybersecurity experts who were first to conclude that Putin hacked presidential election ABANDON some of their claims against Russia - and refuse to co-operate with Congress

It was an explosive conclusion which cast a pall over the entire election: that the Kremlin was behind a hack of the Democratic National Committee which resulted in its embarrassing secrets being published.

That was an interesting article.

Here is part of it that I found particularly intriguing

While the retraction does not mean that Russia did not hack the DNC or Ukraine, critics say it calls into question CrowdStrike's work on the subject.
Cybersecurity expert Jeffrey Carr said this is part of 'a pattern' for the company, and raises concerns about its credibility.
'It shows a pattern, that CrowdStrike's intelligence reports were clearly a problem,' said Carr, who has authored books on cyber warfare and founded the security firm Taia Global Ltd.
'They just found what they wanted to find…they didn't stop for a moment to question it, they didn't contact the primary source,' added Carr. 'This is like an elementary school-level analysis.'
Alperovitch canceled a March 15 interview with Voice of America, the news outlet that first reported CrowdStrike had misstated data from the ISSS. The company declined to speak to DailyMail.com.
However CrowdStrike is proving hostile to further scrutiny of its methods, DailyMail.com can disclose.
Last month, CrowdStrike's co-founder Dmitri Alperovitch and its president Shawn Henry turned down an invitation to testify before the House Intelligence Committee about Russian interference in the U.S. election.
'They declined the invitation, so we're communicating with them about speaking to us privately,' said Jack Langer, a spokesperson for House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes.
There remain unanswered questions about the sequence of events which led to the secrets of the DNC being laid bare.
People sleep peacefully in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to visit violence on those who would do them harm.

Wow, CrowdStrike doesn't want to talk about it anymore... what an effin' surprise.

And while not necessarily a Greenwald fan, it should be pointed out, esp to bucky, that he is being proved essentially right here. In its effort to make themselves look somewhat better than what they are, Crowdstrike overplayed its hand... and got caught.

Americans are retards in this regard, they must face unpleasant truth multiple times to believe it.
I just wonder if those who were talking about Kremlin's involvement in US elections - do they really believe all this bs or just pretend since lack of other issues to attack Trump demands so..
