Those are not statements. They are questions. And yes, every one those questions is a documented question because it is right there in this forum. Doesn't mean they have anything to do with Russian hacking of election officials, which is the topic of conversation here. Also, for what it's worth to your little mind, putting things in quotation marks doesn't make them more or less "truth-y" Did Russia tell Trump to declare bankruptcy six times? or "molest children" and "grab pussy"?

The report doesn't say "using an IP address from Russia" -- it says it was from the Russian Military. I don't think the NSA would get the two confused. Also, the report says that at least one email account was probably compromised ("probably" being intel-speak for "very high confidence"). With a compromised email account, further phishing attacks are much more likely to be successful. So we don't know the extent of the hacking results (at least from this one report), but it was not a "attempt to hack" but a "successful hack" with unknown-as-yet damage.

Dr Metting's primary experience is in radiation related to cancer, not to climate change. The term 'Top Scientist" gets used over and over, but I can't find any mention of her credentials other than as a program manager at DOE, not as a research scientist.

She was in essence a project manager, and was fired for not following the agenda and the pre-approved points. I have worked in several corporate environments where people have been fired for saying things that are not approved, because they have not necessarily been vetted and can cause damage to a company's reputation and financial status. Why would government be any different?

so "retaliation" sounds to me to be meant as a dog-whistle headline term meant to stir up people emotionally. There is probably a lot more nuance than makes it into the FreeBeacon articles, based on the other articles I see on their site.

No, actually. Most people's wealth is not in their homes, as most people who "own" a home actually are paying off a mortgage and own only a small percentage of the home, and the rest is owned by the bank until the mortgage is paid off. If you actually fully own your own home then kudos to you, but you are in the small minority.

The money that is paid to the bank for a mortgage over the life of a 30-year mortgage (the most common type) is usually about 300% of the actual value. These mortgage payments (present and future debt obligations) are sold into a secondary market, where they are stripped, sliced, and diced (aka. "collaterallized debt obligations or CDOs, sometimes known as mortgage-backed securities or MBSs) and traded on Wall Street. Often they are bought by pension funds, mutual funds, and other institutional investors and make up your 401k and IRA.

So, yes, in fact most people's wealth is actually managed by Wall Street. The ones who do it really well, and help your 401k and IRA funds grow over time, or who fund your pension, are actually people who you probably want to have managing your money. Mostly they only take a small cut (management fees) for doing so.

I am not defending the bad apples who are trying to commit fraud, or who charge high fees, but those are the ones you hear about in the news. The ones you don't hear about are quietly making your money grow.
