>Bottom line: Did the Obama Administration manufacture false intelligence to implicate Russian interference in the 2016 election?
- Russian Activity: Russia was identified as the most capable and likely actor interested in undermining the election. High-confidence assessments attributed the hacks of the DNC and DCCC to Russian intelligence.
- Intent vs. Impact: The most likely threat, according to the documents, was not manipulation of vote totals but cyber activity designed to sow distrust and cast doubt on the legitimacy of the electoral process. That includes theft and release of information, cyber intrusions into voter databases, and media disinformation.
- Local Intrusions: Voter registration systems in Illinois and Arizona were breached, but no evidence showed tampering with actual votes. 20 other states experienced probing or vulnerability scans, most traced to Russian-operated servers. Still, none of the observed activity suggested an actual alteration of results.
- No Evidence of Manipulated Vote Counts: Multiple safeguards, decentralized systems, and lack of evidence led the IC to conclude with high confidence that no vote manipulation occurred through cyber means.
- Trump Campaign: No direct link between the Trump campaign and Russia is mentioned in the documents. The documents focus strictly on cyber activities, infrastructure vulnerabilities, foreign intentions, and information operations.
This declassification vindicates the Obama administration and makes DNI Gabbard look foolish.
