Why does the article repeat this known-to-be-false assertion about Wikileaks?

"But WikiLeaks had also shown, quite recently, a willingness to be a mouthpiece for foreign intelligence services: in 2016, the site had released e-mails from the Democratic National Committee which had been stolen by hackers working on behalf of the Kremlin."

The DNC leak was an inside job and not a result of a "hack".

Why does the NY Post repeat known to be false assertions about Russian malign influence. DNC was APT28 and not an inside job.

All else being equal, I'd trust the New Yorker's fact checking much more than the NY Post's.

Not the most credible news-source. "Report claims" - and that was during the Trump Administration, correct me if I am wrong.

There are plenty of other contemporaneous sources all saying the same thing. Similar to the now dis-proven Russia-gate hoax, the DNC are the ones pushing the narrative that the leak was a Russian operation. The analysis of the time stamps on the DNC files has proven that they were not copied over a network, but copied locally.

This source say otherwise ... and its from a forensics company https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/bears-midst-intrusion-democ...

That's just a front for a think-tank: https://web.archive.org/web/20200930134745/https://www.atlan...

And CrowdStrike is so deeply involved with the DNC that they ended up lying for them: https://mate.substack.com/p/indicted-clinton-lawyer-hired-cr...

CrowdStrike is a 40 billion dollar cyber security company. You must be deep down the conspiracy rabbit hole to be convinced it is a front for a think tank. Dmitri Alperovich is a well respected and experienced security professional.
