When they first announced that the DNC had been hacked by the Russian government, I didn't believe them. Not because I don't think the Russians are capable of doing it, but because I didn't think the DNC was competent enough to ascertain who had hacked them on their own. I'm still not convinced they or their cybersecurity company were.
That said, I've read the latest Mueller indictment and I'm now convinced that the Russian government was behind the hacks, Guccifer 2.0, and DCleaks. The indictment is impressive and I have to hand it to the special council in the detail they provided. It's a good read. I think everyone should read it.
On the non-legal, non-technical front, I'd love to know which congressional candidate contacted Guccifer 2.0 and asked for (and received) stolen info about their opponent. Likewise, I'm curious who the individual with regular contact with the high level Trump campaign staffers was. I'm guessing Roger Stone given his media disclosures of late.
I'm also interested in the concept of criminally charging foreign military actors in US courts. Is that typical? Is that what they'd do with a non-offical spy getting caught in the US? Likewise, I'm very interested in the investigative techniques they used to unearth some of the detail they provided in the indictment.
