As we told you earlier, the Obama administration formally announced on Friday that the “Russian Government directed” the hacking of the DNC earlier this year with the express purpose of affecting the election:

The U.S. Intelligence Community (USIC) is confident that the Russian Government directed the recent compromises of e-mails from US persons and institutions, including from US political organizations. The recent disclosures of alleged hacked e-mails on sites like DCLeaks.com and WikiLeaks and by the Guccifer 2.0 online persona are consistent with the methods and motivations of Russian-directed efforts.

And now we know how WikiLeaks took the news:

We’ve been randomly clicking through the list and these jumped out at us — apparently Podesta reads TownHall:

We’ll let you know what else we turn up.
