Seems pretty contradictory to me. Maybe a previous admin's RNC or something, but not the current one...
Honestly, these intelligence agencies are pretty clueless. They use the same tactics to identify malware sources that they use to thwart their own identification as a malware source. I wouldn't believe anything they say about the source of malware - or anything anyone says. It's far too easy to make it look like someone else did it - use their or nearby providers, use their malware or slightly modified versions of it, copy their strings, etc. It's pretty easy stuff to do if you've got a bit of assembly skill too.
> By wide consensus those releases were timed in order to maximize the damage they did to Clinton. That is exactly the type of action you would expect from someone motivated by politics.
Or you know, just someone motivated to make impactful leaks. Despite these emails not being in my political favor, I wouldn't have done anything differently in their shoes. Would you have? and if you would have, would you honestly say that your actions weren't politically motivated?
I think _not_ releasing in this case or avoiding impact would have been more clearly politically motivated.

The RNC was hacked, but we don't know the timeline due to Comey's vague terminology. >Honestly, these intelligence agencies are pretty clueless. This is incredibly patronizing. They have a much greater expertise on these things than two doofuses like us debating on the Internet. >Or you know, just someone motivated to make impactful leaks. Despite these emails not being in my political favor, I wouldn't have done anything differently in their shoes. Would you have? It isn't just the timing of the leaks, go back and read what they were saying about them. They stoked the flames of Pizzagate. Assange was quoted as saying the leaks would guarantee Clinton's arrest. Those aren't the actions of someone who is politically neutral.
