Your source, Bill Binney, is not credible. For example he claims he can "prove" Russia did not hack the DNC in 2016.[1] His claims are easily debunked by anyone with basic networking experience.[2]

Wow, Binney's analysis of it being a thumb drive leak is pretty laughable. Apparently the fact that the files came from FAT is a smoking gun, or Wikileaks "conspired" to doctor them like that.

So much more likely that Wikileaks, or one of the hackers, simply copied them to a thumb drive at some point.

Bill Binney is an American patriot and I believe not one person in the NSA would disagree. He is quite simply a legend in no such agency. Not sure what hive mind you crawled out of but please go back.

Wouldn't such bullshit accusations just make him more of a legend in the NSA? It's not like they have a record of speaking honestly to the press.
