President Trump on Saturday claimed China "may" have been behind a massive cyberattack on U.S. government systems -- a day after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the attack was "pretty clearly" perpetrated by Russians.

Trump downplayed the attack, dubbed by one U.S. official as "the worst hacking case in the history of America," as "far greater in the Fake News Media than in actuality."

Do you really hate Trump as much as the articles you post say you do?

[SteveH]

is this even consistent with anything else Pompeo has done or said in public?

[Equine1952]

Well, who the h3ll do they think is in bed with Russia. It ain’t us. US don’t have a lot of friends and they ain’t one of them.

no it is pretty clear that Pompeo understands the China threat. This is divide and conquer nonsense.

[DesertRhino]

Pompeo was CIA and now he’s at State. CIA and State lied to America constantly for the entire Trump administration to hurt Trump and help China.

So now I don’t believe them.

Fake ballots printed in China?
Dems not using USA union labor?

Pompeo says Russia ‘pretty clearly’ behind massive cyberattack against U.S. (On Levin’s radio show Friday night - no mention of Chinese Communists)

“This was a very significant effort, and I think it’s the case that now we can say pretty clearly that it was the Russians that engaged in this activity,” he added

Fake news media has only heard of one country, “Russia, Russia Russia”.
Fake news media are simply incapable of seeing any of the massive evidence of Chinese interference in our elections, and the clear corruption of Hunter Biden by the Chinese, and the Chinese having Dementia Joe and his pathetic son in Chinese pockets.

FWIW, that isn’t Bill O’Rielly’ Twitter account.

[Harpotoo]

Guess you forgot Snowdon and Assange outted that OUR deep state can make a deep fake of what and who ever they want. And if we can, so can the PRCs. Russia Russia Russia.

[BigEdLB]

THey may have been working together

[Robert DeLong]

Apparently making it appear as someone else is doing the hacking other than the actual perpetrator, makes the statement pretty clear it was this country or that, does not really mean much. After all, the FBI was certain that Russia hacked Hillary's emails, even without looking at the server at all.

So, it may indeed have been China that is responsible for the hack, and left crumbs indicating is was Russia.

I posted an article that directly quotes Trump and Pompeo. Is there some reason we at Freerepublic are supposed to remain ignorant of this news?

[PhiloBedo]

I’d say both countries, along with Pakistan and Iran, are hacking.

BTW, I see you’re an ATT retiree. Any opinion on that stock as a current investment? It hasn’t participated much in the post meltdown rally. Otoh, good dividend. But a lot of debt? And why are they owning cnn?

The first rule of WAR is
DIS information for the enemy!!!

Anything with a little people reading the press that’s put out doesn’t have anything to do with what’s really happening

Any more on DOOMERS ( Donald.win term for eeyores).

That thinks that Trump doesn’t have all of the data on this and it isn’t getting people to sing behind the scenes has another thing coming

They’ve already dropped several heads if you’ve been paying attention at the white ! white hats have all this data. ( not racist )

January 6 is an eternity away

Expect amazing amounts of more crap to go down before then
