Everything in the leak could be faked and nothing about it makes it definitionally due to a Russian hack either.
But the evidence certainly seems to indicate a local copy done by somebody who wasn't trying to cover their tracks:

The only evidence pointing to Russians is the CIA says so. The NSA gave it about a 50% chance before joining the other agencies to parrot what the CIA said.
- orf 7y agoYeah a guy working for an organization who would outright murder you for leaking sensitive information sure wouldn’t bother covering his tracks while leaking sensitive information. Or, you know, this data was copied to a USB by Wikileaks at some point before publishing.
- akvadrako 7y agoThat doesn't make any sense. The source of the archive isn't wikileaks and the timestamps originate a couple months before publishing in the EDT timezone, before being organized and packaged for release.
- orf 7y agoWikileaks source giving it to them via USB makes a lot of sense, then the timestamps where altered after delivery if they were not placed there as a red herring What does it make sense is the evil DNC murdering one of their own employees on US soil after a very public data breach. If only we could think of a country that would profit from promoting this conspiracy theory! Then we might get closer to the truth.
