PROFILE
FROM Sam Biddle
Does hacking evidence justify new Russian sanctions? Sixteen US intelligence agencies are said to agree it was Russia that hacked into Democratic National Committee computers in an effort to influence last year's election.

He writes for The Intercept , the online publication, founded by Glenn Greenwald and dedicated to transparency in government.
