Why in the hell do we have 17 security agencies?
With all of these security agencies guarding us, how in the hell did Russia (or anyone else) break in to our government servers? Are these agencies incompetent or what?
And in particular, why was our state department's servers so vulnerable to hackers?
Is this a sample of how a president Hillary will secure our nation's secrets?
0bama gave the cyber warriors, ICE, and border guards the same instructions.
Wave them on through.
Just like a Bullfighter, spin and say “Ole”
The media and Administration have an ignore the message and shoot the messenger strategy.
It is a good bet that the Russians are among the many who hacked their insecure systems. All the more reason to prosecute someone for sharing classified information over an insecure, private channel.
Your link invokes a Star Wars comparison, and cites IPs from Russia.
Russia would not leave such a ridiculously obvious trail.
However, the NSA, or China, or India, or Israel, or many, many, many other players, may well create the illusion of such a trail.
Otherwise, the article suggests that the country of Russia decided - at the level of military cyberwarfare - to hack US government computers from an easily traceable Moscow IP.
Yeah, no.
She gets daily CIA briefings.
Isn’t she admitting the Russians hacked her emails and classified info?
She says that 17 security agencies agree.
This implies 17 separate investigations with identical findings.
She also said “believe” rather than “know.”
Are some of these the same agencies that believed the Benghazi attack was triggered by a video when they knew it wasn’t? Just curious.
Clowns “have our back”.
Used to be patriots (mostly rough men) had our front..
Important distinction in my humble opinion
Excellent questions
Everyone should note that Clinton as usual lied about agencies blaming Russia. They said the emails from Wikileaks may or may not be from a hack
I am wondering if she said anything at all that was truthful during the debate, cause I think she lied through all of it!
So do you think the info used in this analysis is fake, or do you think the leaker attempted to frame the Russians, or what?
You nailed it, Jim! They are not here to protect us. They are here to write the reports after we have been violated.
Why do we have so many agencies? This is the cancerous outgrowth of bureaucratic competition. Each and every federal agency spends 100% of their budget every year, just so they can ask for more next year. If they spend 94%, they risk having their budget cut 6% next year. There is no accountability or oversight or audit of spending.
And now every agency seems to “need” some kind of armored force. Why? Because their department heads all think “we” have more of a need for it than “them”, and if “they” have one “we” should get one too!.
Why would FDA need a SWAT team? The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service? Small Business Administration? Social Security Administration? National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration? Education Department? Energy Department? National Institute of Standards and Technology? All of them spend millions on weapons every year and hire and train with military tactics. There are now more “Federal Police Officers” working in the various agencies than there are enlisted US Marines.
So all of our security agencies (all 17 of them) have agreed that Russia is hacking our computer systems and elections processes.
But Trump is “dangerous” when he says our election systems are vulnerable to hacking and rigging.
Which is it?

Russia has begun its biggest surface deployment since the end of the Cold War as it aims to effectively end the war in Syria on the eve of the US election, Nato officials warned last night.
The Kremlin is sending the full might of its Northern Fleet and part of the Baltic Fleet to reinforce a final assault on the city of Aleppo in a fortnight, according to Western intelligence.
The final bombardment is designed to shore up the Assad regime by wiping out rebels paving the way for a Russian exit from the civil war.

Approximately one year ago, the Russian navy caused quite a stir by hanging around internet cables in the Atlantic for some period of time.
The accusation was the Russians were mapping the cables in order to be able to sever them in times of conflict.
The Russian fleet in the Mediterranean seems to be doing the same thing this week over cables off the Syrian coast.
Ditto. The Russian hacker story is a red herring. Since Hilary has not been in combat, she would love to go to war with Russia.
Also Trump is correct: Nobody has proved that Russia did the hacking.
It seems kind of odd that they keep bringing up the Russians “did it” - interfered with the U.S. election. I can’t decide if it’s a way to deflect from the Clinton’s crimes or an attempt to call the election into question if Clinton doesn’t win. Interesting that Wallace ask Trump but not Clinton to clarify if he’d accept the result. It also gave Clinton an extra minute or two to bash Trump, since the question was only directed at him.
“You dont need hackers when crooked Hillary was putting the nations top secrets on the Internet. The whole Russia thing is a red herring.”
Excellent point. I agree completely.
Great point!
But so does Trump, right?
But Trump isn’t buying it.
Thanks.
