“Russian government hackers penetrated the computer network
of the Democratic National Committee and gained access to the entire database
of opposition research on GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump,” the
Washington Post reported recently. DNC officials said that the hackers so
completely compromised the system that they were able to read all e-mail and
even “chat” traffic. That must have been interesting. They could probably have
gotten most of the same info off of Hillary’s personal server. What is it with
Democrats, computers and e-mails?
Reports
indicate that the hackers had access to the DNC network for roughly one year,
but that all were “expelled” over the weekend of June 11-12, in a “major
computer clean-up campaign.” One full year?! Was the breach just discovered? If
so, how do they know how long the system was compromised? If not, what prompted
the security experts to finally launch the clean-up effort now?
This
didn’t make much of a news splash. I wonder what would’ve happened if the tables
were turned and it was the RNC’s computer network that was compromised and it
was the entire database of opposition research on Hillary Clinton that was
breached?
Where
is the call for accountability? There appear to be no consequences whatsoever.
Have the Russians even been rebuked? Shouldn’t the Clinton Campaign and the DNC
at least have publicly apologized to the Donald?
