Why does the "intelligence community" refuse to give this as their source of attribution?

  > refuse to give this Do you mean, why doesn't the intelligence community publicly release all the info they have pointing towards Russia? Because the answer seems kind of self-evident. The intelligence community is not in the business of releasing any information it doesn't have to. In fact, its business is protecting information, and trying to get information about other people. If the intelligence community publicly released all the info about why they think it's Russia, then depending on what the info is, that could seriously damage their ability to gather more info in the future, or maybe even put people's lives at risk (e.g. if the info was provided by people in Russia).
