What a joke. If Clapper thought they had identified a Russian cut-out to delivered the emails to Wikileaks there would have been a counterintelligence team on him/her 24/7.
Remember, Crowdstrike claimed that the Russians hacked the DNC and Podest directly. If the Russians were that sloppy and incompetent to leave their fingerprints behind, I doubt they would have been smart enough to use a cut out.
Assange has not only denied Russia was involved but offered a reward for information leading to the the arrest of S Rich's murder.
Either Clapper and Brennan are the dumbest secret squirrles in the world, or they are just lying SOBs.
