Nothing about this supports a Russian attribution.

We're supposed to trust them that it was not just Russian geographically but the Russian government and also the highest levels of the Russian government.
WMDs were in Iraq, too, didn't you hear?
That was not the goal of the report. It also doesn't support Vanilla being better than Chocolate.
Then why was it released the exact same day that Obama expelled Russian diplomats as punishment?

You can argue that the report technically wasn't meant as evidence of Russian intervention, but the administration certainly doesn't mind people thinking that it is.

What would you expect as a proof?
Look at the NSA's TAO tools for the kind of thing I expect from a nation state.

They're using backdoored hardware & TEMPEST, not pitiful phishing scams.

What I don't understand is why you created yet another root level comment to point this out again.
