Russian hacking activity continues unabated
CNN (Clinton Not News) ^ | December 16, 2016 | Shimon Prokupecz, Evan Perez, Pamela Brown and Jeff Zeleny

Russian cyberhacking activity has continued largely unabated since the November election, including against US political organizations, US officials briefed on the investigation told CNN on Thursday.

Among the attempted cyber breaches are phishing attempts targeting Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's campaign, one official says. The attempt to breach the Clinton campaign was unsuccessful, investigators tell CNN.

The attempts appear to trace back to some of the same Russian hackers behind the breaches of Democratic Party organizations in the past year, one official said. The FBI has expanded its ongoing probe of Russian hacks to include the more recent attempts. Russians "continue to do all kinds of stuff" against American political organizations, think tanks and thought leaders another US official said.

Why doesn’t the CIA brief its congressional oversight committee before it briefs CNN and the Washington Post? Isn’t THAT as much of a scandal as purported Russian influence?

Deflection: a change of direction, or the act of preventing something being directed at you

The American public wasn’t supposed to find out about the Democrats’ cynicism, venality, racism, perversions and contempt for the American public.
Whether true or not that the Rooskie done did it—keeping in mind that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and so far all we’ve seen is outraged `rats & their MSM and apparatchik minions shouting `J’accuse!’—what it boils down to is the Democrats are angry they got caught ...
“You found what? Panties? Ladies panties, um, in my suit coat pocket .... what were you doing snooping through my clothes? This is an outrage. Dammit. Cut it out!”

So, should the headlines be: "Obama administration utterly inept at preventing foreign hacking. Everybody knows our secrets."

Isn't that a legitimate headline, and isn't that the kind of headline we'd be seeing if this was happening during a Republican administration? The focus would not be on who was hacking, or why, but on our ineptitude in preventing it.

So it looks like the US media has come unhinged and is going totally nucking futs this weekend.

Something big must be about to happen.

Wonder what it is.
