I have been wondering about the political motivations of blaming the Russians instead of the Romanians. And Guccifer 2.0 is also not Russian.
So why the governmental misdirection towards the Russians? It must have something to do with getting Hillary elected.
A person claiming to be the hacker responsible for leaking confidential materials from the Democratic Party told the Wall Street Journal that he is not connected to Russia and is angry that Moscow is getting all the credit for his actions.
