Evidence mounts linking DNC email hacker to Russia
Source: The Hill
Emails sent by Guccifer 2.0 to The Hill show evidence that the hacker used Russian-language anonymity software — a language he has claimed he could not read or even recognize.
The news comes amid mounting reports linking Guccifer 2.0’s hack of Democratic National Committee (DNC) emails to Russian intelligence. Guccifer 2.0 communicates with journalists using different disposable web-based email accounts each time. With The Hill, he communicated using addresses from ProtonMail and Mail.com.
To further protect his anonymity, he connected to the webmail accounts using a Virtual Private Network (VPN). Users send VPN servers the address of a site they would like to reach, and the VPN accesses it in their stead – masking the users' internet addresses.
Metadata of emails sent from Guccifer 2.0 to The Hill was shared with the cybersecurity firm ThreatConnect. In the interest of protecting Guccifer 2.0’s identity, his account information was not included.

Trump Credits One Of 'Our Friends' In Russia, China With DNC Hack (VIDEO)
Donald Trump on Monday attributed the Democratic National Committee hack that led to the ouster of its chair to “one of our many, many ‘friends’” in Russia or China.
At a campaign event with running mate and Indiana Gov. Mike Pence in Roanoke, Virginia, Trump said although outgoing DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz worked “very, very hard to rig the system” in favor the of presumptive nominee, Hillary Clinton “threw her under the bus” after emails between top DNC staffers were leaked online.
“Little did [Wasserman Schultz] know, Russia, China, one of our many, many ‘friends’” – Trump emphasized with air quotes – “came in and hacked the hell out of us. Can you imagine?"
Trump was discussing the cyber attack on the DNC, which has been widely attributed to Russian intelligence forces.

Donald tRump is a narcissistic idiot to speak of any connection to Russian "friends" and the DNC email hack. Campaign manager Paul Manafort denied it, calling it "absurd and crazy" but these were the same words he used regarding Melania "borrowing" Michelle Obama's speech. I hope his supporters (fans) are paying attention. 
The Donald is telling you who he really is.
The DNC has publicly apologized to Bernie Sanders about it.
It a little late for the Kubuki theater about the Russians. And let's say even if the Russian's hacked the DNC, that doesn't excuse the DNC of their fraudulent activities one bit.
The DNC should NEVER, NEVER, NEVER interfere in our elections by showing bias to one candidate over the other. The DNC charter states the organization is supposed to be neutral. Instead the DNC showed bias and they have violated their own bylaws.
They have admitted as much yesterday.
If the DNC can not be honest, you can't expect the supposed Russian hackers to be honest.
Our elections will never be honest if we can't trust the DNC to create a level playing field.
