New files first posted by Ivan Pentchoukov of The Epoch Times show that when the US government formally accused Russia of hacking the DNC, they were lacking crucial files from Crowdstrike. As noted below, one week before the official attribution, FBI officials were scrambling to get basic documents regarding the hack.
the story that the FBI relied so heavily on Crowdstrike (& now we know the GT crew) w/out taking possession of the servers, or getting their own copies & or getting an unredacted report or doing their own analysis always struck me as fantastical: a presidential candidate (presumed to soon win)! and they outsource the vital work. But we can see now that ginning up antagonism against Russia was a 2 sided blade: to beat Trump & to provoke war w/Russia in Ukraine.
Ugh…why did you lock your Twitter? I can’t see your Tweets any longer. I was “permanently” banned by Twitter for calling David Frum a f—-g political whore (yes, I didn’t spell it out). I probably won’t be able to listen either.

So Ryan Milliwork, maybe I should reach out to your work, see how good they feel about you spreading conspiracy theories, spreading lies, and disinformation. Then trolling companies and harassing people speaking out against your behavior. I mean you work in a fairly well regulated industry, unhinged workers are not in high demand.
This scenario (the IC's blithe reliance on partisan private actors for attribution) is so bizarre and unorthodox that the MSM's failure to question it defies belief. That said, failure to ask questions has been the quintessential MSM failure throughout this debacle. The claim that our generously funded global IC was easily foiled by supposed Russian hackers and that this impacted the election was preposterous on its face. The demand that the public should accept this evidence free proposition without question and the immediate labeling of those who did not as Putin propagandists only took us further through the looking glass. Up is down, and out is in, in this bizarro world created by the authoritarian state so threatened by Trump that it collectively abandoned any pretense of impartiality or subtly. What happens now, when trust in bedrock institutions has been damaged beyond repair?
