Fortune cookie was the best part … and I’m hungry again.

Over the weekend, we posted : Intel Report on Russian hacking … my take.
Now that the dust has settled, I’m getting that “where’s the beef feeling”?
Best I can do is:
Key points: Russians were more #NeverHillary than pro-Trump … no evidence that the election was impacted … none of the purloined emails were fakes or forgeries … Russians held back some of the juicier information-bombs to drop during Clinton’s expected presidency (and, they still have those morsels stockpiled).

My questions:
1) How were the sleuths able to able to find cyber-prints in this case but came up empty on the Clinton server (though the FBI reported that there was a high probability the enemy agents hacked that server, too)?
2) Wasn’t there any evidence of other foreign forces hacking into the same information bases, say the Chinese or North Koreans? Or, did our spies succumb to “fixation bias” (with a little “confirmation bias” thrown in) and only looked at a Russian connection? Maybe the problem is bigger and broader than reported.
By the way, what’s up with the Feds failing to haul in the suspect computers & servers and analyzing them for clues and evidence? Geez, on every episode of American Greed, the cops haul off the perp’s computer …
3) What info are the Russians holding in storage, waiting for an opportune time to cause some real havoc? Hmm. Maybe they have some of the classified material that was held safe (?) on Clinton’s and Weiner’s computers. Isn’t anybody worried about that?
Those are the questions that I’d like to see answered.
I’m not holding my breath …

Though it was generally superficial and disappointing, I did ID one useful part of the report (seriously) …
