Capt Johnston tells DNC what they wanted to hear - Russian IP pfishing scheme hacked and exfiltrated data. FBI never examined the server. They let the server run for several weeks after discovery. Why? Install RAT…

The hacker exfiltrates the RAT and now you infect their network.

Havex is a remote access trojan (RAT) that was discovered in 2013 as part of a widespread espionage campaign targeting industrial control systems (ICS) used across numerous industries and attributed to a hacking group referred to as "Dragonfly" and "Energetic Bear". In 2014, cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike assessed that Energetic Bear was linked to Russian Intelligence Services (RIS), and the Havex malware and Dragonfly/Energetic Bear group identifiers were later named in the December 29, 2016 GRIZZLY STEPPE Joint Analysis Report published by the FBI and DHS, publicly attributing various activities to RIS.
Remember Vault 7? CIA impersonates foreign IPs… RAT captures entire network.
Operated out of foreign location… access by intel agencies and various cabal members.
But Capt Johnston is still NSA and is providing this info to the Alliance. DNC is told what they needed to hear because the entire Russia narrative was a trap they set for themselves to cover up the Seth Rich murder and provide cover for intentional leaking to Chinese and others.
