From the looks of it, the AIVD intelligence people have let themselves be misled by CIA manipulation.

If the CIA uses Russian IP adresses and does fake hacks that only make it look like russians hack a server, and the idios of the AIVD fall for it. And even more stupid let a newspaper publish their stupidity right after the world got proof that the Russia hack was one big smear campaign.

Could such a scenario be more true?

I've tried to track down how this story came to be but there is nothing much to hold on to.

Also it's suspicious that a Dutch newspaper publishes this article in English.

I'm truly not sure what to think of this. I never expected that the AIVD would start to meddle into Hillary's crap. And avter all the silence about the entire Hillary Corruption in the Dutch media now all of a sudden THIS story go's viral. Very fishy...

Lets see if the German, Belgian, French, Swiss and all other expensive spy boys also let themselves get lead by the nose. I'm curious how they are going to chip in for the Clintons.

On the other hand the Journalist Huib Modderkolk (Freely translated Mudvortex) could a nice occult sign of Trumps draining swamp.

This newsoutlet spins the story a little bit different

And another remarkable article:
https://www.nu.nl/binnenland/5104013/van-ontucht-verdachte-hoofdofficier-justitie-ontslagen.html

An Officer of Justice (A fraude specialist) has been fired for child abuse. Probably co-incidence but still remarkable how this all unravels within a few days of eachother.

additional findings

The whole Article about the AIVD-russia infiltration seems to get hardly any attention from dutch readers. Mainly as a result of the utter silence about the Clinton corruption scandal. But the article goes viral in Trump-land.
Is there a way to ask google how much hits Volkskrant.nl gets on average and how much hits this fake news article is receiving?
