DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE
WASHINGTON, DC 20511
October 07, 2016
Joint Statement from the Department of Homeland Security
and Office of the Director of National Intelligence
on Election Security
The U.S. Intelligence Community (USIC) is confident that the Russian Government directed the recent compromises of e-mails from US persons and institutions, including from US political organizations. The recent disclosures of alleged hacked e-mails on sites like DCLeaks.com and WikiLeaks and by the Guccifer 2.0 online persona are consistent with the methods and motivations of Russian-directed efforts. These thefts and disclosures are intended to interfere with the US election process. Such activity is not new to Moscow—the Russians have used similar tactics and techniques across Europe and Eurasia, for example, to influence public opinion there. We believe, based on the scope and sensitivity of these efforts, that only Russia's senior-most officials could have authorized these activities.
I don't think we'll ever no for sure.

Russia had the motive and the ability. Their goal was to undermine the electorate's faith in democratic government. They are succeeding, thanks to disinformation being disseminated by their satellite black propaganda outlets.
