The cause and effect do seem a bit displaced.
The Solar Winds software issues appear they only came up this week because of the discovery of the problematic relationship between Solar Winds and Dominion, because of how that relationship tied into the conduct of the election fraud in Antrim County, Michigan.
It was the audit of Dominion voting machines that exposed the relationship and the problems associated with the software...
Fascinating to note the dual connections, there: First, the effort of the Michigan Secretary of State to delete the data from the Dominion machines, eliminating the statistics on how ballot adjudication worked in Michigan, this election. Then, the effort of the Michigan Secretary of State to prevent the information about the Antrim County audit of the Dominion voting machines being made public.
But, the judge made the information public anyway ?
In response, we see this raid being conducted on their HQ in Texas... but, not before the Treasury and Commerce got hacked ? News today (WaPo) saying that’s a “months long” issue, that only got exposed, suddenly, after the Antrim County report was issued ?
No one seems interested in denying Solar Winds let Russian hacking group Cozy Bear... pretty much do what they wanted. We’re clearly not being told everything about the implications of the breach, yet... including how many agencies other than Treasury and Commerce were effected.
In context of the election... no longer possible to claim there were no issues with the vote... cannot deny that the Dominion machines created MASSIVE errors... that they enabled switching votes... that voters WERE switched... and that the machines were online... and were easily hackable.
The key issue, now, it seems... in context of the election... is only whether the Solar Wind servers will provide a source of backup data exposing “some of” the data that the Michigan Secretary of State seemed rather desperate to have deleted.
Oddly, that the timing of the exposure re Solar Winds is directly tied to the connection in the probe of Dominion machines in Antrim County... seems a point no one in the MSM want to make ?
Otherwise, I don’t attach much credibility to the claim that it “was Russian hackers”.
By all accounts, the trail of bread crumbs that were left behind was inordinately sloppy... very clearly intending it to be made plain that “it was the Russians”.
If it was Russian hackers, rather than someone being overly obvious while posing as Russian hackers... they WANTED to be exposed as behind the hack.
More likely that the hackers simply created a Russian fingerprint to leave behind to deflect blame onto the Russians.
Also makes it pretty hard to “debunk” the forensics effort made in Antrim County...
When it was that effort that exposed this hack into the “safest election ever”... also exposing the source of those previously unknown hacks into an unknown number of U.S. Government computers... hacks that weren’t discovered until this forensic review of the Dominion machines.
Now the forensics effort will refocus on the Texas servers... from which they’ll likely be able to ferret out who it actually was behind the hack... based on traffic patterns and timing. And, that effort also might well reveal... not just data from the election in Michigan... but who it was that had online access to those machines.
This is not “wrapping up”... but just getting started...
“In context of the election... no longer possible to claim there were no issues with the vote... cannot deny that the Dominion machines created MASSIVE errors... that they enabled switching votes... that voters WERE switched... and that the machines were online... and were easily hackable.”
And
“Oddly, that the timing of the exposure re Solar Winds is directly tied to the connection in the probe of Dominion machines in Antrim County... seems a point no one in the MSM want to make ?”
Both likely true.
But neither assumption has been tested in court with counter argument.
