GOP helped Russian Intelligence
that the supposedly independent hacker who went under the name “Guccifer 2.0,” was actually “an officer of Russia’s military intelligence directorate (GRU).” The whole Guccifer persona was created soon after Russia was identified as the force behind the thefts of DNC data in an attempt to provide cover to the state-sponsored actions.
Guccifer famously pretended to be a “lone hacker” who perpetrated the digital DNC break-in. From the outset, few believed it. … Based on forensic clues in some of Guccifer’s leaks, and other evidence, a consensus quickly formed among security experts that Guccifer was completely notional.
But while it was obvious to anyone who spent a moment looking into the affair, some Republicans were too anxious to get at the stolen goods to be bothered by who had done the stealing. In Florida, Republican consultant Aaron Nevins jumped right in and offered to help Guccifer.
