Under the heading Guccifer (sounds like Lucifer) 2.0.

That same day, June 15, 2016, the GRU also used the Guccifer 2.0 WordPress blog to begin releasing to the public documents stolen from the DNC and DCCC computer networks. The Guccifer 2.0 persona ultimately released thousands of documents stolen from the DNC and DCCC in a series of blog posts between June 15, 2016 and October 18, 2016. 147 Released documents included opposition research performed by the DNC (including a memorandum analyzing potential criticisms of candidate Trump), internal policy documents (such as recommendations on how to address politically sensitive issues), analyses of specific congressional races, and fundraising documents. Releases were organized around thematic issues, such as specific states (e.g., Florida and Pennsylvania) that were perceived as competitive in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. 

The Russians seemed to know what they were looking at and it was the DNC strategy for the races of 2016. Sabotage and nothing short of it. Talk about demoralizing. I can't imagine how they felt when their work was displayed so publically. Of course, Trump's documents weren't on public display. 

Beginning in late June 2016, the GRU also used the Guccifer 2.0 persona to release documents directly to reporters and other interested individuals. 

Who are the other individuals? They were working with stolen documents. That didn't stop anyone? "The Smoking Gun" isn't what I would call a mainstream media outlet, so it is easy to understand that Russia didn't want the public to know there were stolen documents being used for the purpose of electing Trump. The Russians used conservative media that was more inflammatory then regular media. If a mainstream newspaper was sent these documents they would go through an extensive review of where they came from and would probably have called the FBI. Whether they would print them or not is still uncertain, but, the process would be very different than placing scandalous documents with obscure media sources. The information would reach voters with extremist views first and by the time it reached the mainstream media the momentum would already be established and nearly impossible to stop. The USA elections were very well studied by Putin's intelligence services.

Specifically, on June 27, 2016, Guccifer 2.0 sent an email to the news outlet The Smoking Gun offering to provide "exclusive access to some leaked emails linked [to] Hillary Clinton's staff." 148 The GRU later sent the reporter a password and link to a locked portion of the dcleaks.com website that contained an archive of emails stolen by Unit 26165 from a Clinton Campaign volunteer in March 2016. 149 That the Guccifer 2.0 persona provided reporters access to a restricted portion of the DCLeaks website tends to indicate that both personas were operated by the same or a closely-related group of people.150

The GRU continued its release efforts through Guccifer 2.0 into August 2016. For example, on August 15, 2016, the Guccifer 2.0 persona sent a candidate for the U.S. Congress documents related to the candidate's opponent.151 On August 22, 2016, the Guccifer 2.0 persona transferred approximately 2.5 gigabytes of Florida-related data stolen from the DCCC to a U.S. blogger covering Florida politics. 152 On August 22, 2016, the Guccifer 2.0 persona sent a U.S. reporter documents stolen from the DCCC pertaining to the Black Lives Matter movement.153

Footnote 150 Before sending the reporter the link and password to the closed DCLeaks website, and in an apparent effort to deflect attention from the fact that DCLeaks and Guccifer 2.0 were operated by the same organization, the Guccifer 2.0 persona sent the reporter an email stating that DCLeaks was a "Wikileaks sub project" and that Guccifer 2.0 had asked DCLeaks to release the leaked emails with "closed access" to give reporters a preview of them.

So, Putin was even lying about the relationship with Wikileaks to attempt to cover his tracks.

The GRU was also in contact through Guccifer 2.0 persona with HOM      a former Trump campaign member Harm to Ongoing Matter    154 early August 2016, HOM         Twitter's suspension of the Guccifer 2.0 Twitter account. After it was reinstated, GRU officers posing as Guccifer 2.0 wrote HOM        in private message, "thank u for writing back ... do u find anyt[h]ing interesting in the docs i posted?" On August 17, 2016, the GRU added, "please tell me if i can help u anyhow . .. it would be a great pleasure to me." On September 9, 2016, the GRUi;(T);f posing as Guccifer 2.0-referred to a stolen DCCC document posted online and asked HOM        "what do u think of the info on the turnout model for the democrats entire presidential campaign." - responded, "pretty standard."155 The investigation did not identify evidence of other communications between HOM      and Guccifer 2.0.

3. Use of WikiLeaks

In order to expand its interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, the GRU units transferred many of the documents they stole from the DNC and the chairman of the Clinton Campaign to WikiLeaks. GRU officers used both the DCLeaks and Guccifer 2.0 personas to communicate with WikiLeaks through Twitter private messaging and through encrypted channels, including possibly through WikiLeaks's private communication system. 

a. WikiLeaks's Expressed Opposition Toward the Clinton Campaign 

WikiLeaks, and particularly its founder Julian Assange, privately expressed opposition to candidate Clinton well before the first release of stolen documents. In November 2015, Assange wrote to other members and associates of WikiLeaks that "[w]e believe it would be much better for GOP to win ... Dems+Media+liberals woudl [sic] then form a block to reign in their worst qualities. . . . With Hillary in charge, GOP will be pushing for her worst qualities., dems+media+neoliberals will be mute . ... She' s a bright, well connected, sadisitic sociopath."156

Sadistic sociopath. Wow. I have never and I never will see Hillary Clinton in that light. She was well liked in the State Department and among her peers. She had a burden from the right wing media that no one should have to shoulder and perhaps that is what others see.

In March 2016, WikiLeaks released a searchable archive of approximately 30,000 Clinton emails that had been obtained through FOIA litigation. 157 While designing the archive, one WikiLeaks member explained the reason for building the archive to another associate:

Footnote154 HOM     

Footnote 155  Harm of Ongoing Matter    Harm to Ongoing Matter

Footnote 156 11/19/15 Twitter Group Chat, Group ID 594242937858486276, @WikiLeaks et al. Assange also wrote that, "GOP will generate a lot opposition [sic], including through dumb moves. Hillary will do the same thing, but co-opt the liberal opposition and the GOP opposition. Hence biliary has greater freedom to start wars than the GOP and has the will to do so." Id.

Footnote 157 WikiLeaks, "Hillary Clinton Email Archive," available at https://wikileaks.org/clinton-emails/.

OMG, Hillary was promoting women and girls with her position at the State Department. She was even a champion for the LGBT. Where does Assange get the idea his activities would annoy Hillary? Did she ever say that? I think there are a lot of assumptions that are not accurate. I don't think Hillary Clinton was bothered by Wikileaks in a personal way. I think she worried about the exposure of the military, but, on a personal level I don't see it as an issue. Her personal life had taken added dimension with a son-in-law and a grandchild. I think she and Bill were happy in ways most of us are happy. Her professional life had to be satisfying, she had speaking engagements. She was a busy lady. I don't think she dwelled on all that. She had lawyers that dwelled on that stuff.

[W]e want this repository to become "the place" to search for background on hillary's plotting at the state department during 2009-2013. . . . Firstly because its useful and will annoy Hillary, but secondly because we want to be seen to be a resource/player in the US election, because eit [sic] may en[]courage people to send us even more important leaks. 158
