This is not a question of if there was a hack. Those tracks can be covered. It is not possible to copy data over the internet out of known server without leaving a trace AND then claim to know that data was removed - without a trace - by the Russians. Both are not possible.

Crowdstrike has said - in court under oath - that they have no evidence that data was taken. So how then, Sherlock, can they claim to know that this untraceable hack and theft was done by Russia? Answer: They - and you - cannot.

You have to show where the data was transferred TO if you want to claim - as both Crowdstrike, the DNC and the Clinton campaign did - dozens of times - that Russia hacked their server and stole the data. Crowdstrike has said - UNDER OATH - that they have no evidence that this happened. Ergo - it is impossible to honestly claim Russia hacked the DNC.

A LEAK is not the exfiltration that Crowdstrike claimed happened. My personal theory is that a person (and that can only be one of the Americans working on the DNC staff with access to the DNC servers) used a USB drive to copy the data and personally took it out of the DNC offices. Not the Russians.
