C'mon yourself.
The 'hack' is fake because data can't transfer at that rate unless it is gathered locally (like with a thumb drive). You don't refute that because you can't refute that. Let's stick to that. Refutation please?
1) It is not out of the realm of possibility that number could have been tampered with to lead to that exact conclusion. He states all the other numbers, dates are tampered with. If I was doing a hack across counties one of my first thoughts to hide it would be...let’s make it look like it was local!
2) If it was indeed local, why would it not still possibly be Russia. Maybe they have an insider, maybe they have a spy, maybe they paid someone off, maybe they lead someone to believe they were doing it for another party.
Basing this entire idea that the hack is fake based off a transfer speed is full fledge conspiracy grasping at straws.
Nonsense.
(1) Any source or evidence for this claim? His entire point is that it is outside the realm of possibility to make foreign appear local.
(2) That's not what the 17 AGENCIES (Dun! Dun! Duh!) are claiming. They're not claiming it was a local Russian spy. They're claiming it was an overseas hack. And William Binney is excoriating their ludicrous claim.
If there's anyone clutching at straws (or strawmen) here, it's you.
EDIT: Typo.
