I've had a interesting life. I'm a expert in not getting "attributed" if you will. No need.

It's mostly private snake oil vendors.

Famously the FBI used a conclusion a private company, hired by a presidential campaign made, as a pretext to engage in surveillance on their primary opponents campaign a few elections ago. They did no forensics themselves. They didn't even get the full report and what they got was heavily redacted![0]

So once again you turn this back into a Hillary Clinton conspiracy theory. I guess theres no moving on from something that happened seven years ago now. Last I checked, the guy who was running against her won and Obama peacefully transferred power to him.

Glad you’ve had an interesting life! Best of luck in your future endeavours.

He's probably spot on, btw.
