Reading the INDICTMENT now it’s interesting as i don’t recall Rosenstein speaking at all that the republican party was also hacked by these guys as follows:
“The Conspirators also released documents they had stolen in other spear phishing operations, including those they had conducted in 2015 that collected emails from individuals
affiliated with the Republican Party.”
Object of the Conspiracy
70. The object of the conspiracy was to hack into protected computers of persons and entities
charged with the administration ofthe 2016 U.S. elections in order to access those computers and
steal voter data and other information stored on those computers.
Manner and Means of the Conspiracv
71. In or around June 2016, KOVALEV and his co—conspirators researched domains used by
U.S. state boards of elections, secretaries of state, and other election-related entities for website
vulnerabilities. KOVALEV and his co-conspirators also searched for state political party email
addresses, including filtered queries for email addresses listed on state Republican Party websites.
“The Conspirators also released documents they had stolen in other spear phishing operations, including those they had conducted in 2015 that collected emails from individuals affiliated with the Republican Party.”
Apparently only when the Dems were hacked in 2016 did the Just-us Department and the Federal Bureau of Weasels became interested.
No, the narrative is that this was all focused on the poor little Democrats and their poor little candidate.
This sort of thing has been going on in some version since humans became political beings.
