China and Russia have hacked Pentagon, State, OMB computers. Not one ambassador sent home, not one word from the president. No hearings. No big deal.

Steal Podesta’s password, and they are talking “act of war”.

When Trump meets with intel leaders on Friday, I expect it will be short and sweet:

"Get your resumés updated. You're fired in 15 days."

Podesta’s password was “password”.

The hearing I’m watching is a joke.

Stealing Podesta’s password? I wouldn’t call it stealing if it’s an easily guessable version of the most common password used on every computer:

User = jpodesta
Password = p@ssw0rd

Didn't even have to steal it since the password was password. That is the first word any hacker would try when trying to access an account.

Well, yes, you must have some perspective. When Podesta’s e-mail was hacked, now that was serious!

I hope Trump tweets about that. This is being used as politically motivated. They have no proof.

Lindsey Graham is trying to draw a distinction between hacking for espionage purposes (everybody does that, so it’s OK) and hacking with the intent to alter the political landscape (VERBOTTEN!!!).

The essential bottom line here is that the US Senate does not care about national security, just political security. Same with DNI and CIA.

Outrageous!!!!!

That’s because, unlike the other ‘hacks’, this one cost them an election..................

The only issue, of course, being the fact that the Russians didn’t “hack” Podesta’s password. In fact, no one did. Someone (Sean Rich?) with direct access to the DNC email server just downloaded the emails and provided them to Wikileaks. If you have administrator privileges, you don’t need his password...
