Guccifer 2.0: Intel community report on Russia 'is a crude fake'

Guccifer 2.0, who last year took credit for the leaks from Democratic groups like the Democratic National Committee that made waves in the presidential election, dismissed a declassified U.S. intelligence report last week that accused the hacker or group of hackers of being a front for Russian operatives.

“The U.S. intelligence agencies have published several reports of late claiming I have ties with Russia,” Guccifer 2.0 wrote in a blog post Thursday. “I’d like to make it clear enough that these accusations are unfounded. I have totally no relation to the Russian government. I’d like to tell you once again I was acting in accordance with my personal political views and beliefs.”
