This feels state-sponsored, perhaps a product of Russia. Catching my attention:
* Emphasis on disparaging Clinton is interesting as current Admin policy is decidedly (and effectively) counter to Russian interests.
* Referring to Intel community using the reverent European bureaucratic term "Special Services".
* The boastful lone hacker, but calls himself Guccifer 2.0. Obligatory reference to Lazar midway through the manifesto.
* Real political and security drama in the UK and Europe, but focuses on a comparatively boring Clinton campaign, dropping leaks just as a stumbling Trump campaign needs them the most - and all the while Trump, who is largely reviled in Europe, is praised in the FAQ.
I'd be amused to learn this was homegrown. I have the increasing sense the Clintons made more than their share of powerful enemies at home as I begin to read the "Crisis of Character" book.
