They hacked us. . . they hacked us, cries Feinstain to Wolf. We must show this to the American public. We must place additional sanctions on Russia. My parents came from Russia, I know how they are. (And, this is a high-ranking Democrat Senator!)
Hacking among nations is a given in the world we now live in. The British do it. The Germans do it. The Chinese do it. The Israelis do it. The North Koreans do it. The Russians do it. And, we do it too. Any nation that doesn't do it is being irresponsible in terms of its own national interests. And so, although I have absolutely no inside knowledge, I assume the Russians did hack the Dem Nat'l Committee.
Did they also hack the Republican Nat'l Committee? According to Reince Prebus, the answer is no.
The RNC has safeguards on its computer system and they were never breached by hackers. This leads us to our first important conclusion. The RNC takes protecting its communications seriously. The DNC does not. I find this a powerful argument for denying to the Democratic Party the right to lead this nation in a world where any country can be the target of hacking. Their carelessness was inexcusable.
If, as alleged, the Russians did hack the DNC, why were individual Democrats sending sensitive matters over an internet they had failed to secure? Did the Russians act any differently than we would have acted if the roles were reversed?
For me there is only one question. Why did the Russians seek to undermine Hillary when she clearly would have been a so much easier president to hoodwink than the Trump people?
