No one talks about the admission by Crowdstrike representatives that they have no proof of Russian hacking the DNC emails. No one also talks about the 2017 findings by Ray McGovern and his NSA colleagues that the emails were downloaded within the DNC, not hacked from outside. I hope that you will be able to discuss this issue in your forthcoming book. I'd like to have the working title of your book and the Press so that I can refer to it in my own work (in French) dealing with the special military operation. In any case, keep up the good work, Aaron !
