No, I think you're confused. I pointed out that: * NSA is a top-tier state-sponsored actor. * NSA doesn't leave chat logs, bitcoin transactions, or email logs lying around to be hacked. * Another top-tier state-sponsored actor would act the same way (no chat logs). * If a foreign state was behind those attacks, the NSA would not be able to find chat logs (because they don't exist). * Therefore, your acceptance that the Kremlin was behind the attacks cannot depend on the NSA releasing that kind of evidence. It's paradoxical. The evidence wouldn't exist if that fact held true. Honestly, I would be more suspicious if the NSA released the kind of evidence you were asking for. Not to say it's true or false either. These are spy games, there's never 100% confidence...
