The intelligence report’s lack of even hints at the kind of evidence collected make it difficult to assess the claims, and its weakness gave Russian officials ample opportunity to poke fun.
The foreign ministry spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, wrote on Facebook on Monday: “If ‘Russian hackers’ managed to hack anything in America, it’s two things: Obama’s brain and, of course, the report itself.”

In all honesty they had little time to make shit up and that was a good effort.

Typical US intelligence report. They say it is so, but they never give any evidence other peope can scrutinise. Same way how they said Osama did 9/11.
BTW, anybody know if it's possible to make a quote box on this site when you quote an outside article? I haven't figured that one out yet.

OK, thanks tuoni, this is what I was looking for.

Same fucking hype every time:
US State department: "Russians did it and we have proof and we will show it in the report"
Newspapers: "Russians definitely did it as evidence shows"
Report is published where most of the stuff starts with "we say with high degree of confidence and supported by mountains of secret evidence..."
Newspapers: "US Intelligence FINALLY released new report saying russians did it !"
Normal people: "So... is the evidence coming ?"
John Kirby: "It would have been "irresponsible" for the intelligence community to reveal the evidence for its conclusions in its unclassified report, since that would have revealed sources and methods"
The end.

This Kirby guy is such a joke, he looks like a clown and talks like one.
