It is extremely unlikely that hacking the NYT can possibly lead to nuclear war. False equivalence. All the FBI would have to do is subpoena the server.Yes and? It's protocol. When NYTimes got hacked, they did the exact same thing because these organizations don't want their data in government hands.
There is no guarantee that the Russian CTO is not bias.
Ukraine and the data source the Russian CTO used to conclude that Russia hacked Ukraine's military equipment both stated he was completely incorrect. They both denied his conclusions with respect to a Russian hack. The government and the data source the Russian used. The Russian specifically relied on this denied conclusion to conclude that Russia hacked the DNC. This is retarded.
Anyone with just a little common sense would conclude that the FBI should analyze the server in such an important matter or at a minimum have a completely different unbiased private sector company confirm the conclusion.
