Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson stated there is no definitive evidence linking Russia to the DNC hacks, contradicting the prevailing media narrative. Hillary Clinton has been using the phrase "we know" in interviews to assert Russian involvement as a settled fact. This linguistic tactic is identified as a form of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) to influence public perception.
