Guccifer 2.0 - Game Over

Reporting on the ignored, omitted and concealed evidence of the Guccifer 2.0 operation and other aspects of Russiagate.

#Guccifer2 claimed to be 🇷🇴 and initially appeared to be 🇷🇺.

But a significant volume of evidence says there's an 🇺🇸 side to this story.

Well, yes, I figured that goes without saying. ;)

One day after WAPO was pushing out a story attributing targeting of Trump opposition research to Russian intelligence the GRU supposedly sprung into action with a fake persona that shoved a heavily contaminated copy of Trump opposition research in journalists faces, visibly hiding behind a Russian VPN service when making those communications. It contaminated all 10 of the documents it released that day with Russian breadcrumbs in one form or another, dropped a Russian smiley in it's first blog post and carried out searches through a Moscow based proxy for terms it would later use on it's blog (and sought translations that could be handled internally at the GRU).

I'm also well aware that Guccifer 2.0 re-used the contaminated document framework from the first fabrication as the starting point for it's second and third fabrications and that the process did little more than instantly russify some content that the operation released.

For these and many other reasons, I remain sceptical of the GRU attribution.

[Guccifer 2.0 - Game Over @with_integrity]

I've seen this and don't really have a strong opinion on it.

On the technical evidence on Russiagate - It was noted that Guccifer 2.0's GMX email address was tied to an Israeli mobile number and analysis of the ops activity revealed that the the op seemed to like taking Saturdays off.

However, beyond that, I don't recall seeing anything suggesting Israeli origin in the technical evidence.

SCO Mueller was apparently aware of Stone dealings with Israelis but didn't pursue it. https://t.co/5BJgu1CRkY

An op ed by Tzachi Hanegbi, who visited New York in June 2016 in the week following the emergence of Guccifer 2. Hanegbi traveled to New York in an effort to meet with Trump. The emails of an Israeli agent associated with Hanegbi were subject of a search warrant by Mueller in 2018, but Mueller doesn't appear to have followed up on Israeli involvement, despite the promise of an "October surprise" made by the still unidentified Israeli agent to Roger Stone in August 2016. (Stone appears to have avoided the Israeli agent in fall 2016.) The Israeli agent did meet with Trump and (probably) Jared Kushner in October 2016 - a meeting that has received little attention.

@waldogerard @CynicalPublius I have seen mutliple people refer to their credentials and then peddle distortions, lies and logical fallacies.

That's where I draw the line.

That @seanspicer and Trump should have so little understanding of Russiagate hoax that Spicer falsely names and blames Sergei Millian - and Trump endorses this falsehood - is, unfortunately, all too typical of Trump and Trump administration response to the Russia collusion hoax.
Almost total lack of concern for its impact on anybody other than Trump or for its impact on international relations. And, after attention on Trump himself subsided, they had almost total incompetence and disinterest in releasing unredacted Russiagate documents that would assist victims other than Trump or unveil the operation of the hoax during the Trump 45 administration itself.

[Stephen McIntyre @ClimateAudit]

we know (with high confidence) that, in 2016, CIA was running two high-level FSB (Russian intelligence agency) officials as agents (Mikhailov and Dokuchaev). Does the news that SPLC was running false flags make you more suspicious or less suspicious of the DNC hack operation?
Isn't it time/long overdue that Tulsi Gabbard declassifies and releases the technical data associated with the DNC and related hacks?

[Guccifer 2.0 - Game Over @with_integrity]

@syorkr1 @Ty_Clevenger If you mean theory for the even second rounding pattern, I think it's possible that WikiLeaks could receive files in a zip file, extract them on Linux using unzip and end up with the timestamps rounding in the manner observed.

[🇺🇸FoiaFan🕍🇮🇱 @15poundstogo]

@UndeadFoia’s unrelenting fight to obtain and expose this information (in addition to what he has already successfully exposed) is an example of three things:
(i) what regular people in the Alt Media can accomplish with great effort;
(Ii) what the MSM doesn’t even try to do (quite the contrary, they cover up for powerful interests); and
(iii) the embarrassing weakness and lethargy of Horowitz, Durham and Congress.

@thekitze Vibe-coding with ChatGPT is like asking a golden retriever to proofread your will.

Enthusiastic, eager to please, but immediately confused about what you've just asked it to do.

“hE iNDiCtEd tWeNtY fIvE rUsSiAnS”

What these leftist frauds never tell their viewers is that Mueller, really Andrew Weissmann, never expected any of the defendants to show up in court. They were in Russia and had no reason to appear, so the whole thing was treated like a free play, a chance to smear Trump with insinuations no one would challenge.

But they miscalculated. One of the defendants did show up and started pushing back, and suddenly the whole strategy fell apart. At that point, the DOJ had to beat a retreat from a case so flimsy it couldn’t withstand even minimal scrutiny, because it was never real, just a hollow accusation dressed up for headlines.

[Shipwreckedcrew @shipwreckedcrew]

The Mueller Special Counsel's Office brought two indictments that went into great detail about the supposed Russian "interference" in the 2016 election.

Both were long "speaking indictments" laying out the ALLEGATIONS made by the Mueller prosecutors. Those allegations were dutifully reported by the press and Dems as "Facts" -- something they continue to do to this day.

The Mueller SCO those documents publicly, with all the names of Russian defendants there for everyone to see, guaranteeing that none of those people would 1) travel to the US or 2) travel to any country that might extradict them to the U.S. They could have kept them sealed until they had an opportunity to arrest the named defendants -- many of whom had lived in the U.S. at one time or another.

But instead the Mueller SCO had grand press conferences where they treated the ALLEGATIONS as fact.

But then a strange thing happened. One company named in one of the indictments had a US law firm appear on its behalf. With the Law Firm standing in as a Corporate Reprensentative -- as is allowed by law -- the Russian company pled "Not Guilty" and announced "Game On".

The Mueller SCO resisted having to prosecute the case on a variety of grounds -- losing each time.

The Mueller SCO then closed up shop and handed the burning bag of dog poop to the U.S. Attorney for DC.

Within months the U.S. Attorney dismissed the case.

What I typed above is the ENTIRETY of what the Mueller SCO "proved" about Russian "collusion" in the 2016 election -- exactly nothing.

@piersmorgan Cover-ups and framing innocent people isn't public service, it's public disservice - this record started before Russiagate was even a thing.

[John Cardillo @johncardillo]

Under Mueller the FBI had to pay Dr. Steven Hatfill $5.8 million for basically framing him in the anthrax case.

Mueller was a modern day Beria. He would find a suspect and reverse engineer the crime.

And RussiaGate

“One of the worst” is a far a better way to describe him.

[Techno Fog @Techno_Fog]

On Robert Mueller:

The FBI framed 4 men for murder in the 60s

When the cover-up was discovered, Director Mueller was asked for the FBI position on their convictions

Mueller's FBI lied about the evidence, denied the mens' innocence & only conceded they could have a new trial

[Guccifer 2.0 - Game Over @with_integrity]

@UndeadFoia @FBIDirectorKash Hey @FBIDirectorKash,

Why did the DNC, CrowdStrike, DOJ and your agency all miss out the first week of activity (exportation to EML) directly relating to the emails WikiLeaks published?

This has been known about for years but I'm yet to see your agency address it.

[Undead FOIA 3.0 @UndeadFoia]

There are still 12 men indicted by Mueller for hacking the DNC based on evidence apparently produced to Mueller by the same cyber researchers associated with the Alfa Bank hoax.

And @FBIDirectorKash hasn't made any of it public.

[Guccifer 2.0 - Game Over @with_integrity]

@FBIDirectorKash @FBI Hope your evidence is better than highly emulable TTPs.

[Stephen McIntyre @ClimateAudit]

re-reading your mention of Nghia Pho here triggered one of the Guccifer 2 loose ends that has been a stone in my shoe. Guccifer 2 had a series of pseudo-alter egos in his early documents. They were playful, all early Communists, but one of them - Nguyen Van Thang - was extraordinarily obscure. Felix Edmundovich or Chen Du could be figured out fairly easily. But Nguyen van Thang was almost impossible to figure out even with Google. I couldn't figure it out. Eventually a reader recognized it as a former name for an early mid-level Vietnamese communist leader. https://t.co/s30h9kGRA0

It's one thing to use alter ego names - but this choice was so obscure that it limited the number of possibles.

is it possible that the recollection of Nghia Pho, combined with ngpvan software, triggered the alter ego of Nguyen van Thang?

I don't pretend to know. But none of these details have been explained or even discussed. And unfortunately Trump 47 continues to conceal documents on the DNC hack which remain far more withheld and far more redacted than even the Epstein emails. Why?

[Guccifer 2.0 - Game Over @with_integrity]

1. Contamination propagation was part of a reproducible workflow, not random/independent errors across files.

2. The "careless operator" explanation becomes less tenable - copying a contaminated file as a template is a multi-step process.

3. Shifts investigative focus from "how did Russian metadata get there?" to "why was a contaminated file systematically reused?"

Document structure can't determine operator intent, but it can rule out certain accident/carelessness scenarios.

[Guccifer 2.0 - Game Over @with_integrity]

I compared three of Guccifer 2.0's earliest released documents at the raw RTF level.

A 38,637-byte editing block appears identically in all three files, byte-for-byte.

This isn't about attribution. It's about demonstrating file duplication.
