Fib has TDS which in his small mind means everything on the right is lies and everything on the left is the truth.

 

Cannot debate someone who has TDS. They still haven't found a drug to deal with it yet.

 

Finally something that pot can’t cure

As reported by The Nation, VIPS has a well-established record of debunking questionable intelligence assessments that have been slanted to serve political purposes. For example, in the run-up to the U.S. invasion of Iraq, VIPS courageously and correctly challenged the accuracy and veracity of the CIA’s intelligence estimates that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction and posed a threat to the United States. Similarly, VIPS has condemned the use of “enhanced interrogation techniques” on suspected terrorists. In short, VIPS can hardly be described as either a right-wing cabal or as carrying water for the Republican Party.

In its analysis of the purported DNC hack, VIPS brought to bear the impressive talents of more than a dozen experienced, well-credentialed experts, including William Binney, a former NSA technical director and cofounder of the NSA’s Signals Intelligence Automation Research Center; Edward Loomis, former NSA technical director for the Office of Signals Processing; and Skip Folden, a former IBM information technology manager. As the French would say, these are l’hommes serieux.

As set forth in the article, VIPS’ investigative findings were nothing short of stunning. First, VIPS concluded that the DNC data were not hacked by the Russians or anyone else accessing the server over the Internet. Instead, the data were downloaded into a thumb drive or similar portable storage device physically attached to the DNC server.

The time stamps contained in the released computer files’ metadata establish that, at 6:45 p.m. July 5, 2016, 1,976 megabytes (not megabits) of data were downloaded from the DNC’s server. This took 87 seconds, which means the transfer rate was 22.7 megabytes per second, a speed, according to VIPS, that “is much faster than what is physically possible with a hack.” Such a speed is accomplished by directly connecting a portable storage device to the server. Accordingly, VIPS concluded that the DNC data theft was an inside job by someone with physical access to the server.

VIPS also found that, if there had been a hack, the NSA would have a record of it that could quickly be retrieved and produced. But no such evidence has been forthcoming. Can this be because no hack occurred?

Can the DNC be any dumber? As the article says, they have opened themselves up to legal scrutiny from the parties they have sued. Not some special prosecutor, but the actual defendants. This is going to be a wild ride.

No comment on the obvious and partisan nature of this Republican report? If the Dems came up with something like this you'd be hissing and spitting all over the computer. Ya, you are really non-partisan -_-

No, the report landed as a stillborn. Only Trump's tweets make it anything. 

 

If the Dems tried something like this you'd beat eating even more of your own feces.

Uh... the "dems" (not dems really) have tried this. They just used the USIC and MSM to do so. 

 

And you've believed every word of it because your ability to discern partisan spin from actual fact is about the same as Sam Darnold's ability to wear an extra small helmet.

The GOP report does address that Trump Tower meeting, allowing that it showed “poor judgment” on the part of the Trump campaign. As we learned from Trump Jr.’s emails, those top Trump campaign officials went to the meeting in the full expectation of receiving dirt on Hillary Clinton, supplied by the Russian government. But the GOP report brushes this off, concluding there was “no evidence that the Trump campaign colluded, coordinated, or conspired with the Russian government.”

Poor judgement? Bannon called it treason...

Who arranged the visa for the meeting at the 11th hour under unusual circumstances?

Who was the translator, where does he work now? 

Who did the lawyer meet with the day before and the day after the TT meeting?

 

Answer those, honestly, and maybe we can dive in deeper as to why your position is laughably absurd.
