This reminds me of when Hillary Clinton said "17 intelligence agencies" confirmed that Russia hacked the DNC emails of Podesta's GMail. She did this at the final debate in Las Vegas on Oct. 19, 2016.

“We have 17, 17 intelligence agencies, civilian and military who have all concluded that these espionage attacks, these cyber attacks, come from the highest levels of the Kremlin. And they are designed to influence our election. I find that deeply disturbing,” Clinton

The report was made by 3 agencies, but on Oct. 7, the DHS and DNI had put out a joint statement on behalf of all.

It stated that Russia usually meddles in elections, that they had noticed some activity that year, and they mostly just assume it was Russians, based on the "methods and motivations of Russian-directed efforts." Standard gaslighting; basically,' we don't know they did it, but it sounds like something they'd do.'

Julian Assange revealed to Sean Hannity in an interview that Podesta's email password was "password". Every corporate news agency immediately called that "unfounded", a "lie", and "without evidence"....all doing so without evidence and in contradiction to the one person who might actually know and have evidence of it, having received the leak at Wikileaks.

Later on, New York Times got the in-bed-scoop from DNC staff, that many staffers had the password, it was a simple one, and that a warning claimed a Ukrainian IP had accessed the account, but it was a phishing mail and a staffer logged in with the password.
