Related: About this forumFBI never examined hacked DNC servers itself: report
The FBI never examined the Democratic National Committees (DNC) computer servers during its investigation into Russian attempts to interfere in the election, BuzzFeed reports.
The DNC had several meetings with representatives of the FBIs Cyber Division and its Washington (D.C.) Field Office, the Department of Justices National Security Division, and U.S. Attorneys Offices, and it responded to a variety of requests for cooperation, but the FBI never requested access to the DNCs computer servers, DNC deputy communications director Eric Walker told BuzzFeed in an email.
According to one intelligence official who spoke to the publication, no U.S. intelligence agency has performed its own forensics analysis on the hacked servers

(2,297 posts)If only our intelligence agencies had thousands of highly compensated and well trained subject matter experts that had sworn an oath to our country and who could perform forensics........vs outsourcing the task to anonymous foreign national contractors at a company owned by a Russian ex pat.
