The Russian Hacking Question - Part Whatever, Second Addendum

Because most people who read these blog posts (all of perhaps four?) probably don't read the entire articles cited, I should have put this bit in the previous post citing Jeffrey Carr's article, because it's really the key.

If the White House had unclassified evidence that tied officials in the Russian government to the DNC attack, they would have presented it by now. The fact that they didn’t means either that the evidence doesn’t exist or that it is classified.

If it’s classified, an independent commission should review it because this entire assignment of blame against the Russian government is looking more and more like a domestic political operation run by the White House that relied heavily on questionable intelligence generated by a for-profit cybersecurity firm with a vested interest in selling “attribution-as-a-service”.

I'm not so sure an independent commission would clear it, after having seen some of the independent commission reports we've gotten in the past.  And if the Obama administration appoints it, I'm actually quite sure.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
