Obama Never Told 21 States Russians Were Hacking Their Voting Systems
The Daily Caller ^ | 08/15/17 | Richard Pollock

Posted on 08/16/2017 5:26:01 AM PDT by Enlightened1

State election officials still don’t know which 21 of their jurisdictions Russian hackers targeted, The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group has learned.

Secretaries of state — who are the top election officials in 40 states — told TheDCNF they were shocked to learn of the Russian hacking when Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials first divulged it at a June 21, 2017, Senate Select Committee on Intelligence hearing.

“We can’t find any secretaries of state who say they have been told they are part of this list of ‘targeted’ states.” said a spokeswoman for the National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS), which is the oldest nonpartisan professional organization for public officials, representing top state election officials in all 50 states, plus the District of Columbia and U.S. territories.

The testimony of Jeanette Manfra, acting deputy undersecretary for cybersecurity and communications at DHS’s National Protection and Programs Directorate, before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence stunned NAAS.

“We have evidence of election-related systems in 21 states that were targeted,” she said.

By Russia?
I’ll take “none”.
And any actual hacking was done by our very own NSA or CIA.

Or it means there was never a hack from Russia.

2Gb of data with EST time frame was stolen in 1 minute. There is no way data can move that fast online all the way to Russia. The only way you can do this is with a thumb drive.

The internal EST time stamp tells us it was done here. Most likely by Seth Rich.

LOL, Seth Rich leaked the information from within the Hillary Campaign. That’s all there is to it. The Democrats gave me all I need to know about their ivory towers to not bother voting for their candidate for POTUS, likely even anytime soon if what they have is Crooked Cuomo or crazy Maxine.

As long as 0bama thought the hacking was in favor of Clinton, he had no objections to it.

You got that right.

===========================================

Trace all of it back to Obama's (and Hillary's) paranoia---if Hillary lost, all of them would have big Big problems.

REFERENCE---Then-Pres Obama and his minions started developing the “Russian hacked the election” narrative to give them cover for their blatantly illegal spying on the Trump campaign.

Obama began spying on Trump a year earlier.

This is the stuff of third-rate banana republics. Susan Rice, and all concerned, including BO, should be in prison right this minute. (hat tip Junk Silver)

============================================

FROM ONE OF THE MANY EXPOSES---Seeking to retain his position as CIA director under Hillary, Obama-era Brennan at the CIA used phony foreign intel as a pretext for a multi-agency investigation into Trump.

That led the FBI to probe a computer server connected to Trump Tower and gave cover to Susan Rice's sifting/unmasking operations.

Not only Brennan.... "Susan The Sifter" had a dog in this hunt......Hillary tapped her for Secy of State. One could conclude Comey also had his reasons .....to stay on as a Hillary factotum. Mighty powerful incentives for anti-Trump shenanigans.

.......apparently there are records proving that Obama's CIA director, John Brennan, oversaw repeated spying on the phone calls of President Donald Trump and millions of other private American citizens. An audiotape just released by Federal Judge G. Murray Snow is part of a civil case........

Whomever tried the translation from English to Russian screwed-up several times....... and this is how they were outed.

Obama is pure and maintained his purity by having his minions say and do all the impure things.

The GA Sec. of State reported after the election that the GA voters’ roll was hacked BY THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION. That shocking information was deep-sixed by the Democrat media, never to be heard from again.

It seems the DNC was not hacked at all, but a leaker had gained access (the late Seth Rich?) to the information that embarrassed the Clinton campaign.

Someone extracted voter lists.....all public information. Nothing to do with the actual voting process.

Doesn't sound like a hack job at all.

AND THIS---REPORTED ELSEWHERE: the "Guccifer 2" files have meta tags that can be shown were originally in English, but were deliberately changed into Russian, to make it look as if the files went through a Russian computer.

The most plausible theory is these "Guccifer 2" leaks were not necessarily damaging but were leaked on purpose by the Democrat National Committee (DNC) with fake Russian meta tags.

The nefarious purpose was to use this as fraudulent evidence before a FISA court in order to manipulate the court into approving a wire-tap on Trump.

Whomever tried the translation from English to Russian screwed-up several times....... and this is how they were outed.

EXCERPT State election officials warily viewed former DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson (on Obama's orders) summarily designating state election systems as “federal critical infrastructure” without consulting them. DHS informed the states the federal designation was being considered in August 2016. But Johnson made it official in January 2017 .......calculatingly timed just weeks before Obama exited.

Both Democrat and Republican secretaries of state opposed the federal designation....deeming it as a power play to “nationalize” the US election system, now run at the state and local level.

===========================================

“We plan to work with secretaries of state and senior election officials to determine how best to share this information, while protecting the integrity of investigations and the confidentiality of system owners,” a DHS spokesman told TheDCNF. “As part of this effort, we have begun the process to grant security clearances in coordination with the National Association of Secretaries of State, and have made this a priority for the election sector,” the spokesman said.

Reality Check Next

Wow, that required a bit of good intelligence work. Nice find.

I love it. But whatever happened to Russia, Russia, Russia? Do the Dems no longer have faith in Mueller?
