Sheesh dude.
Nothing in your links says Russia wasn't responsible for the hacks. It still maintains that. It is just that they can't prove wikileaks weren't just mere conduits for disseminating the info. There's no proof they were party to the hacks. Not sure why you and zerohedge think this "revelations" somehow means Russia are now home free.

It still says this in your link:

"This gunshot wound comes from guns known to be used by Russians, therefore it must have been a Russian."

That's the logic that's being used to support the idea that Russians hacked the DNC servers. It's flimsy as all hell. If Mueller could establish that Assange actually got the files from the Russians, he'd be able to make a case against Assange/Stone for participating in the operation because he would have the facts at hand he needed to argue it.

:rolleyes: You blatantly ignore 99% of my comments and pick 1% which suits you. Then ask irrelevant questions.

It seems to me like you are trolling.

I'll reply to your comments when you learn to listen or read more attentively; doesn't seem like you are as serious as the other people on here.

:thumbsup:

Nah, it's good fun, haha even if you lost. Political betting markets are where some real whackos (not me, of course ;)) hangout because many bet based on emotion rather than serious analysis. This distorts the market odds and sharp observers can take advantage. There should be some good opportunities on the Georgia Senate run-off where the Dem whack-jobs will likely distort the market even though it's clear to me the GOP will hold both of them. The main political betting markets in 2020 were distorted by the MAGA types though - swings and roundabouts. Many people who don't usually bet think their mate down the pub knows what's going on...

I never do. I bet on 2016 and won big.

Didn't want to bet on this one, but thought let me take a small stab at the chances the polls are wrong.

I am very happy I was wrong.

Happiest waste of £50 in my life.

I apparently have a weird urge to watch slow motion crashes. I can't explain it. My mother grew up in the States and I have family there, so also maybe a bit of, err, ancestral interest.
