How Russia Hacked The Election

>>THE INTERCEPT HAS RELEASED DOCUMENTS GIVEN TO THEM BY THE
NSA THAT THEY THEN INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIED THAT DESCRIBE A
CAMPAIGN INVESTIGATED BY THE NSA BY RUSSIAN INTELLIGENCE TO HACK
INTO U.S. VOTING SOFTWARE CORPORATIONS.
THEY ARE NAMED BUT
NOT IN THE DOCUMENT, THERE IS SOME CONTEXTUAL INFORMATION THAT
LEADS THEM TO BELIEVE IT MIGHT BE ONE PARTICULAR VOTING
SOFTWARE CORPORATION CALLED VR BUT WE DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S TRUE
AT THIS POINT.
AND THEN USING THE INFORMATION REVEALED BY THAT
TO HACK INTO OTHER LOCAL GOVERNMENT OFFICES AND
OFFICIALS' OFFICES AS WELL.
THIS INFORMATION WAS RELEASED RIGHT
BEFORE WE WENT LIVE SO SOME DETAILS MIGHT BE SKETCHY BUT WE
WANT TO GIVE YOU THE BROAD STROKES.
THE NSA DESCRIBES --
>>OVERALL IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE WHAT WE KNOW FROM THIS AND
WHAT WE DON'T. WHAT IT SAYS AND WHAT IT DOESN'T. BECAUSE THE
HEADLINE CAN BE INTERPRETED A LOT
OF WAYS --
>>IMPORTANTLY AS WE DESCRIBED BOTH BEFORE AND AFTER THE
ELECTION, STEALING AN ELECTION IN AMERICA IS INCREDIBLY
COMPLICATED BECAUSE OUR ELECTION SYSTEM IS INCREDIBLY
DECENTRALIZED.
IT IS NOT A SYSTEM, IT IS HUNDREDS OR THOUSANDS OF
SYSTEMS.
>>IT WASN'T IMPOSSIBLE IN 2000, THEY MADE THAT PRETTY EASY.
>>PERHAPS AN EXCEPTION.
BUT TO SIMPLY COME IN AS AN OUTSIDER
AND DIGITALLY AFFECTED IS INCREDIBLE COMPLICATED.
IF YOU
HAVE PERFECT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PARTICULAR COUNTIES THAT
WILL MATTER MOST, THAT SIMPLIFIES THE PROCESS, BUT FROM
ELECTION TO ELECTION THAT CHANGES, AND THE PLACES YOU
WOULD NEED TO TARGET ARE DIFFERENT FROM ELECTION TO
ELECTION.
SO THE ONLY OTHER THING I WILL SAY RIGHT NOW IS
WHILE THE RAW INTELLIGENCE THE NSA BASED THIS ANALYSIS ON IS
NOT A PART OF WHAT WAS LINKED TO THE INTERCEPT, WE KNOW THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY BECAUSE YOU
DESCRIBED THAT AND ARREST WAS MADE A COUPLE DAYS AGO
BELIEVED TO BE IN RELATION TO THIS.
>>THAT INFORMATION WAS RELEASED TODAY.
A FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
CONTRACTOR IN GEORGIA IS CHARGED WITH REMOVING AND MAILING
CLASSIFIED MATERIALS TO A NEWS OUTLET.
LEIGH WINNER, 25 YEARS
OLD, A FEDERAL CONTRACTOR FROM AUGUSTA, GEORGIA, WAS ARRESTED
FOR REMOVING CLASSIFIED MATERIAL FROM A GOVERNMENT FACILITY, AND
MAILING TO A NEWS OUTLET.
THE REPORT IN QUESTION, THAT
CLASSIFIED REPORT, WAS FROM MAY 5, EXACTLY WHEN THE ONE IN THE
INTERCEPT WAS CITED.
SHE APPEARED IN FEDERAL COURT AFTER
HER ARREST THIS PAST SATURDAY ON JUNE 3.
>>SO WE DON'T KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THIS HAD AN IMPACT ON THE
OUTCOME OF THE ELECTION.
AND EVERYONE WANTS TO BE
HYPERSENSITIVE AND FOCUSED ON THAT ISSUE, BUT I THINK THE REAL
ISSUE IS NOT THE OUTCOME OF THE ELECTION, BUT WHAT WE KNOW HAS
HAPPENED BASED ON INTELLIGENCE GATHERING, BASED ON THIS REPORT
THAT WAS LEAKED TO THE INTERCEPT, AND THAT ORIGINATED
FROM THE NSA.
FOR THOSE WHO CONTINUOUSLY DENY THAT RUSSIA
HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING, THEY NEVER TRIED TO
HACK INTO OUR ELECTIONS, THEY DIDN'T TRY TO PUSH OUT THE FAKE
NEWS TO TRY TO SWAY VOTERS, THEY HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING,
IT'S A NONSENSE STORY DRUMMED UP BY THE DNC TO MAKE EXCUSES FOR
THEIR LOSS -- YOU ARE RIDICULOUS.
I DON'T KNOW HOW
MUCH MORE -- I KNOW IT IS A SLOW, ANNOYING, STEADY DRIP OF
INFORMATION, AND BELIEVE ME NO ONE IS MORE FRUSTRATED WITH THIS
STORY THAN I AM --
>>ALWAYS WANTED IT.
IT WAS SLOW, MONTHS AND MONTHS.
>>THIS IS NOT CSI, THIS IS NOT A TV SHOW OR A MOVIE, THIS IS REAL
LIFE.
AND INFORMATION GATHERING, INTELLIGENCE GATHERING, IS A
SLOW AND STEADY PROCESS.
IF YOU HAVE EVIDENCE CLEARING BRUSH OF ANY WRONGDOING,
THEN LET'S HAVE A CONVERSATION.
IF YOU DON'T, AND YOU WANT TO GO AROUND MAKING A NAME FOR
YOURSELF SAYING NONSENSE, THEN I HAVE NO INTEREST IN YOU.
>>SOME PEOPLE SEEM TO BELIEVE THAT THERE WILL BE ONE PIECE OF
EVIDENCE, IT WILL GLOW WITH THE LIGHT OF TRUTH, AND YOU SHALL
HOLD IT UP TO THE VIEWERSHIP AND KNOW.
NO, AND YOU ARE GOING TO
HAVE A TAPE OF PUTIN SAYING I WILL STEAL THE UNITED STATES
ELECTION.
>>IF ONLY WE COULD GET A U.S.
MEDIA PERSON TO INTERVIEW LET THEM YOUR POLLUTANT SO WE
CAN GET TO THE TRUTH AND FIGURE OUT WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON.
>>I'M GLAD YOU MENTIONED THAT BECAUSE OF COURSE IN THAT
INTERVIEW, WHICH I BELIEVE IS TONIGHT, BETWEEN MEGYN KELLY AND
PUTIN -- I LOVE IT MEGYN KELLY CAN JUST ERASE HER HISTORY --
>>IT IS A PRETTY GOOD GET, THOUGH.
>>IN THE INTERVIEW, PUTIN DENIES ANY INVOLVEMENT.
BUT ALSO IN THE
PAST DAY OR TWO HE HAD SAID THAT MAYBE A RUSSIAN, A PATRIOTIC
MINDED RUSSIAN, COULD TAKE IT UPON THEMSELVES TO GO AND DO
SOME HACKING.
>>BUT NOT ME!
>>WE DON'T HAVE ALL OF THE INTELLIGENCE HERE, I JUST WANTED
TO -- I APOLOGIZE, I DON'T HAVE ALL THE NAME, BUT RYAN GRIMM,
CONTRIBUTOR TO TYT, WAS ONE OF THE INTERCEPT WRITERS WHO PUT
TOGETHER THIS REPORT, AND IT'S INTERESTING THAT THIS COMES OUT
THREE DAYS BEFORE JAMES COMEY IS EXPECTED TO TESTIFY.
IT APPEARS
THIS WILL BE AN ILLUMINATING WEEK FOR THIS GENERAL TOPIC.
