Amid reports that the hack of the Democratic National Committee was even broader than had been made public, the highest-ranking Democrat in Congress is calling the incident an "electronic Watergate."

Speaking to reporters on Thursday, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi compared the hack to the infamous break-in of DNC offices at the Watergate complex that was tied back to President Richard Nixon and the White House.

"Let me just say this in terms of the presidential campaign: This is an electronic Watergate," Pelosi said. "This is a break in."

Pelosi was responding to a report late Wednesday by The New York Times that the scope of the hack of the DNC was broader than had been known. Citing sources familiar with the investigation, the Times reported that hackers compromised the private email accounts of over 100 party officials and groups, including officials in the campaign of Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Governors Association -- though a Democratic source said that the DGA inclusion was incorrect.

RIGHT!

many accounts?”

1. First level intrusion— entry into DNC—gain access to major players ID and the organization structure through insider.

2. Second level—100+ Major players accessed and records scraped, then data evaluated for further connections inside and outside framework of government. Phishing methods utilized?

3. Third iteration—Work deeper into trenches finding 10’s of thousands of operatives on payroll for DNC for multiple decades. Document evidence of corrupt practices and use for turning lower level associates for plea deals.
