Haven't the Russians just recently quietly changed gears? i.e. stopped denying it and changed the rhetoric to "why does it matter who leaked it?"
I doubt there is concrete, independently verified evidence, but I'm not sure how much more fishy the Kremlin could possibly be about the whole thing.
I usually don't mind giving the benefit of the doubt to people, but I don't tend to feel the same way about governments.
- imron 10y ago> changed the rhetoric to "why does it matter who leaked it?" No. That's been consistent with their response since the DNCLeaks.
- oxide 10y agoOriginally it was a flat out denial IIRC. The sudden recent mention of who cares is what raised a red flag for me, it didn't seem consistent with the original statement at all. I could be wrong, but honestly, "who cares who did it" is a fishy enough govenrment response that it's hardly any wonder the Russians are being looked at funny.
- imron 10y agoWhat is recent? The top results for a Google search for Putin on DNC Leaks is an article from a month and a half ago (http://www.politico.com/story/2016/09/putin-interview-dnc-hack-227668 http://www.politico.com/story/2016/09/putin-interview-dnc-ha...) with Putin denying it was the Russians and also saying does it matter who did it. I recall similar news from when the DNC leaks broke and people were blaming Russia then too.
- oxide 10y agoFair enough.
