That confidence is based on conjecture, not hard evidence. Just like the confidence you folks have been complaining about the WMD's in Iraq. Our intelligence agencies, all of them at the time were also confident about that, including the intelligence agencies of several different countries, France, Britain, Germany, Italy, etc. And that was based on much more than conjecture. Julian Assange is still adamant that the source for the DNC and John Podesta email material did NOT come from a government source. The Russian government is a government source. Again, Assange may not be well liked by anyone but he has never been proven to be anything other than factual about anything he has released or spoken about. The sexual assault issue is a different matter and I have my doubts about his honesty on that one issue but everything else he has said or released has been proven accurate.

The press is also playing up the hack of our election systems. There were no hacks of our election systems.
