Have Any Of Our Allies Intelligence Agencies Corroborated Putin's Involvement In Hacking....

the U.S. election? UK, Germany, France, Israel?

Wouldn't you think that any of these countries would be plugged into activities that would allow them to gather similar info like the U.S. intelligence agencies?

1. Don't know about the USA hacking.

But the Germans sure know they are being hacked and the up-coming election is being manipulated.

2. It's an excellent question and

if other nations come forward with similar charges, maybe republicans will have to pay attention and stop the denial.

3. Germany has been warning about Russian hacks since summer.

Of course, wikileaks has been part of the attacks on Germany, too.

German spy chief says Russian hackers could disrupt elections

<>

Hans-Georg Maaßen, president of the domestic BfV intelligence agency, said in an interview that cyberspace had become “a place of hybrid warfare” in which Russia was a key player. “More recently, we see the willingness of Russian intelligence to carry out sabotage,” he said.

Maaßen said Russian secret services had been carrying out attacks on computer systems in Germany which, as far as his agency had been able to ascertain, were “aimed at comprehensive strategic data gathering”.

Blunt warnings from German officials

In a detailed report released in April, the European Council on Foreign Relations bluntly warned that Moscow's different intelligence services "conduct active measures aimed at subverting and destabilizing European governments … and attacks on political enemies."

The goal appears to be to weaken politicians Moscow does not like in a bid to end sanctions, sow discord throughout NATO and the EU, to increase distrust of liberal democracies generally and to challenge U.S. influence on the continent.

The head of Germany's domestic intelligence service (BfV), Hans-Georg Maassen, insists Russia has been actively cyber-targeting German infrastructure and institutions for at least eight years and has "shown a willingness to carry out sabotage."

He has said that the Russian group that hacked the files of the U.S. Democrats was also responsible for stealing classified material from Germany's parliament in 2015.

If you read the links above you see that the head of the German spy agency is attributing the hack in the US to Russia and trying to prevent their having been hacked from influencing Germany's upcoming election.

The report from April (linked above in the excerpt) from the ECRF was pretty interesting.
