Quote
RUSSIAN MILITARY INTELLIGENCE executed a cyberattack on at least one U.S. voting software supplier and sent spear-phishing emails to more than 100 local election officials just days before last November’s presidential election, according to a highly classified intelligence report obtained by The Intercept.

And someone has been arrested for this leak:

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-russia-leaks-idUSKBN18W2VE

There's no evidence that Russia actually succeeded in hacking US voting machines, but it seems they at least tried.

What's worse is that because this is an official report, Trump KNEW about this.  He KNEW Russia tried to attack the election official's data.  But hey, good for him for arresting a leaker.  It was against the law so she deserves to face the penalty.  But also good on her for calling it out.

So you know... mixed bag.


In lighter news: Trump calling Democrats Obstructionists despite having a majority everywhere and not actually putting up people to be obstructed...

If you are going to DebOOonK an expert then you have to at least provide a source with credentials of equal or greater relevance. Even then, it merely shows that some experts disagree with each other.

Did both of you suddenly forget that Trump repeatedly claimed that voting machines were untrustworthy and that unsavory people are manipulating them in October? You guys have the memory of a goldfish, I swear.

Oh right.  I forgot cause he backtracked that once he won.  You know, except for the "3 million illegals who voted" part.

Hm, can you find me a quote of him backtracking and saying voting machines are infallible? Since I don't recall him ever saying anything like that at all.

No, he didn't. He just complained that the vote was going to be rigged against him, and after the election, blamed his popular vote loss on millions of illegal immigrants supposedly voting. I don't think he's ever complained about the voting machines themselves, probably because that lacks the theatricality of him being deliberately kept down by a deep-state conspiracy.

Fair enough, I stand corrected. I do think that Rushy misremembered our discussion on voting machines back in October as being provoked by a comment from Trump (it was actually Obama), but it was a mistake for me to overgeneralize.

Less infallible but "not touched" is pretty close to a walk back from voting machines are being manipulated.

So in the near future, the Trump administration is going to bring charges against Reality?

Fixed it. I don't know why it posted it that way; still getting used to posting links from my phone I guess.

Trump threatened on twitter that his talks with comey were recorded.
Guess we'll see if he did cause Comey certainly did.

I don't think writing a memo quite counts as recording a conversation in the sense Trump meant it (he specifically referred to "tapes").

Right now, it's one man's word (presumably) against the other's. It's probably gonna take a long time to properly establish what happened.

What I mean is, we'll see if Trump had an idle threat as this would be a perfect time to whip out the tapes he threatened that he may have.
