DECEMBER 13--Despite vehement denials from Republican Party officials, there is evidence that the GOP’s e-mail system was breached by the same Russian hackers responsible for ransacking the Democratic National Committee’s computers and the Gmail account of Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman, The Smoking Gun has learned.
In interviews this weekend, Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus and party spokesperson Sean Spicer disputed reports in The Washington Post and The New York Times that U.S. intelligence officials have concluded that the Russian cyber attacks were intended to help elect Donald Trump president.
Citing "senior administration officials," the Times reported that officials believe Russian agents hacked the RNC’s computer systems, but “did not release whatever information they gleaned from the Republican networks.” The Post reported that “U.S. officials” said that the RNC’s “computer systems were also probed and possibly penetrated by hackers tied to Russian intelligence services, but that it remains unclear how much material--if any--was taken from the RNC.” The newspaper added that, “The lack of a corresponding Republican trove has contributed to the CIA assessment...`that Russia was seeking to elect Trump and not merely to disrupt last month’s presidential election.”
In a pair of Sunday talk show appearances, Priebus, who is set to become Trump’s White House chief of staff, stated flatly that the RNC was never hacked, nor was he aware of any party employees whose personal e-mail accounts were breached. During a CNN interview Saturday, Spicer said that the RNC was never hacked, and that, “The bottom line is the intelligence is wrong.” Spicer blasted the Times report, saying, “They are writing that the conclusion they came to was based in part on the fact the RNC was hacked. It wasn’t hacked. We have intelligence agencies that we worked with that are willing to sort this out.”
