Look there is first and foremost we, the USA, were amateurs as far as spying et al goes at that time. The techno hunt was justifiable as we didn't want their knowledge to fall to the Soviets and THAT was a very big deal that seems lost on many. I do wish someone involved would have given it all up so at l.east it would not be speculated on. Many wanted US to follow Patton's lead and rearm the Germans and march back into Russia, that was not going to happen either. We are always painted with a Diabolical intent, we had been thrust onto the front of the World stage and were not prepared and reacted to about everything rather than being out in front.

Eric Lichtblau is involved in the shenanigans of Fusion GPS about Alfa Bank and Trump.

MIke, it's not exactly accurate to say that Lichtblau was "involved in the shenanigans". From McIntyre:

Lichtblau was especially targeted by Fusion and/or Perkins Coie to cover the Alfa Bank hoax, but, to the enormous frustration of the Clinton campaign, Lichtblau not only didn't rise to bait, but wrote Oct 31/2016 article that deprecated Russia-Trump meme

After lengthy investigations, officials also believe that a hacking of Democratic emails was aimed at disrupting the election rather than electing Mr. Trump.
