Subject for further research

File this one under "huge if true":
Time stamps in the metadata provide further evidence of what happened on July 5. The stamps recording the download indicate that it occurred in the Eastern Daylight Time Zone at approximately 6:45 pm. This confirms that the person entering the DNC system was working somewhere on the East Coast of the United States. In theory the operation could have been conducted from Bangor or Miami or anywhere in between—but not Russia, Romania, or anywhere else outside the EDT zone. Combined with Forensicator’s findings on the transfer rate, the time stamps constitute more evidence that the download was conducted locally, since delivery overheads—conversion of data into packets, addressing, sequencing times, error checks, and the like—degrade all data transfers conducted via the Internet, more or less according to the distance involved.
If the hack of the DNC server didn't take place remotely, who did it? There's a ton to read at the link, and I'll be getting back to it later, but if the Russians didn't hack the DNC server, much of what has happened in Washington since Donald Trump was inaugurated is based on a lie.

If true, that would explain why the DNC didn't want the FBI to look at their server. A crisis of honor by a DNC staffer doesn't get them votes. We'll see where it goes.

Better yet, if Democrats talked to Mueller's team stating they knew it was Russia, while any sound analysis pointed to the U.S., they can be prosecuted by Mueller for lying to investigators. I won't be holding my breath, but it would be really, really funny.

Did the Plame thing get shut down, even though they knew the truth about that immediately? No, Republicans Must Be Punished.

Good thing you aren't holding your breath, Bubba.
