CrowdStrike is
NOT an impartial participant in this, they are firmly on the side of the DNC (at least their business is). CrowdStrike have total access to the servers, why won't the DNC allow the FBI similar access? Surely it's better to have too much information than too little in this case?
DNC: The Russians had been booted from our system by the time DHS called
https://www.politico.com/story/2017/...ecurity-239866
The Democratic National Committee had kicked Russian hackers out of its computer systems by June of last year — two months before the Department of Homeland Security called to offer assistance, according to DNC officials.
The DNC is pushing back after former Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson testified before Congress that the DNC rebuffed the agency’s offer to help — testimony that drew gloating tweets on Thursday morning from President Donald Trump.
“Why did Democratic National Committee turn down the DHS offer to protect against hacks (long prior to election),” the president wrote. In another tweet, he said it was “all a big Dem scam and excuse for losing the election!”
It’s the latest dust-up in a long-running blame game over why the DNC and the federal government did not do more to stop Russian cyber intrusions, which U.S. intelligence agencies now say were part of a covert effort to subvert the election process and damage Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
You mention "leaked emails"...you mean WikiLeaks yes? So Kirkland....was Seth Rich a "Russian Spy"? I'm very curious to read your answer to that.
Obama, McCain computers 'hacked' during election campaign

FBI discovers cyber attacks during the summer originated in China and stole large amounts of data
Hackers broke into the computer systems of the Barack Obama and John McCain campaign teams during the US presidential race and stole a ''serious amount of files" in an operation that US government cyber experts believe originated from China.
The Secret Service and FBI warned Obama and McCain earlier this year that their computer networks had been infiltrated by foreign hackers who downloaded large quantities of information from the campaign networks.
"You have been compromised, and a serious amount of files have been loaded off your system," an FBI agent said, according to a report in Newsweek magazine.
The report went on to say that technical experts speculated the hackers were Russian or Chinese. The FBI apparently told Obama the attack had not been carried out by political opponents.
US officials said they discovered that the cyber attacks originated in China but do not yet know if they were government-sponsored or from an unaffiliated source.
The incident was first revealed in a Newsweek report that said the FBI and Secret Service told the Obama team of the attack in the summer.
According to the article, Josh Bolten, the White House chief of staff, called David Plouffe, who was Obama's campaign manager, saying: "You have a real problem … you have to deal with it."
It is understood the campaigns then hired private cyber security companies to look into the breaches.
The Secret Service and the McCain and Obama campaign teams have made no comment on the alleged attacks.
So Barack Obama was a shill for China and his presidency should be rendered null and void then? And OMG Obama was China's bitch for 8 years....8 years of being China's bitch....daaaaaang

Here's what Comey said Lyle:
In March 2017, then-FBI Director James Comey
told members of Congress that the DNC’s security contractor, CrowdStrike, had provided an “appropriate substitute” that Motherboard reports is “widely believed” to be such an image of the DNC’s network.

Two dozen indictments of Russians based on information from the DNC servers and other sources Lyle. Crowdstrike are the go to firm for stuff like this. The RNC have used them too.
And you can't remove or alter part of a network with so many servers and machines all chatting to each other. Do you know the amount of information in just one email header? It would be impossible to remove part of any big system like that without it being obvious, there is just so much identifying information on each document and there are just too many copies of everything that would be missed if somebod tried to remove them. It's a ridiculous, completely discredited conspiracy theory.
As is the Seth Rich conspiracy theory. He wasn't a Russian spy, he didn't pass emails to anybody. He worked on get out the vote planning, basically putting volunteers and transport together to get people all over the country to the polls on election day. He ended up in a part of town notorious for stret robberies one night and the police say he was the victim of a robbery . That's it. We now know for certain that he didn't leak any emails because Mueller has evidence that proves beyond reasonable doubt that the Russians did it.
And yes foreign countries have interfered in election campaigns before. What's new about this time is that the Trump campaign seem to have been involved in the meddling.
