    Well now......there goes another one of the illiberals excuses. Now they cant say the Russians hacked the RNC. Which just leaves all that incompetence on the Democrats. As usual Democrats were thinking they are above all others. That nobody would hack them. Also as usual, they were wrong. [​IMG]




    Russian hackers tried – and failed – to get past security defenses on the computer networks of the Republican National Committee, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday night.


    Only a single email account linked to a long-departed RNC staffer was targeted in the failed breach, the Journal reported, citing unnamed sources.


    According to the Journal, analysts now believe what began as a data-gathering campaign aimed at both parties later focused on leaked emails about Hillary Clinton and Democrats.


    The Journal, citing two unnamed officials, reported hackers sent so-called phishing emails last spring to an email address at the RNC, but they were quarantined by a filter meant to detect spam, as well as potentially malicious traffic, that might carry viruses or trick recipients into divulging passwords.


    A third unnamed source told the Journal that RNC staff members did not realize they had been the target of spies until June – after DNC officials had revealed the breach in their computer system.


    According to the Journal, concerned RNC officials then called a private computer security firm, which in turn called the FBI and obtained information about what kinds of malicious emails to look for.


    An RNC inspection found electronic filters had blocked emails sent to a former employee......snip~

    The Demos must be having fits, now that they can't say the RNC was hacked like them. The left wont like not being able to say the same happened to the Repubs.

    Which just leaves them and of course Hillary's campaign.

    So it turns out the Russians were looking for dirt on both sides, but only had success on the technologically inept Democrats.

    Doubt that many of the conspiracy demos will respond to this thread.

    .


    If the Wall Street Journal can convince you that the RUSSIANS tried and failed to breach RNC security
    then you have been convinced that the RUSSIANS did breach the security of the DNC.

    You see how the media tricks you ?

    Russians. How do they know it's Russians ? "Two unnamed officials". Is that proof that it's the Russians ?

    I'll own up to it. The invasion saved the Kurds and they've proven to be a loyal American ally. They'll fight the ground battles we won't fight.

    Saddam gassed them using chemical weapons. That's why we didn't find any on invasion- because he used them all up on the Kurds, and the Shiites to the south.

    (*)(*)(*)(*) Bush, Iraq was a massive disaster which destabilized the region, allowed Al-Malaki to create a power vacuum in the North of Iraq. Hence ISIS.

    Satisfied? Now your turn.

    Nah its not fake news.....what you are missing, is the part where Hillary and her people allowed the Russians in. The Russians hacked the WH thru State Dept Computers.

    The reason the Russians were able to hack the DNC was due to the fact that they were communicating with Hillary and her people. Anyone that was communicating with Hillary and her people was breached. The Pentagon.....House Demos. the DCCC, DNC, and any Repub Neo Cons that were communicating with Hillary. Such as Lindsey Graham, Johnny Quest McCain, and More than likely the Bush clan who has kept it hush hush on their breach.

    This is just how incompetent the Demos are. They have given BO the peep the greatest intel disaster in US History.

    Question is.....why are people letting the Demos get away with such a screw up and why are they allowing them to talk, in delegitimizing Trump's Presidency.

    If the MS Media wont call them out.....then its up to, WE the People. And WE the People, just wont let the Demos talk (*)(*)(*)(*) and not pay the price. The Demos better wake up to that fact.

    Sorry but it is not the Democrats who are talking. It is the FBI and CIA.

    Yes and they have no evidence. Even if Russia was hacking than so what? Russia has been hacking America and China for years and we do the same to them and China hacks everyone to. This is nothing new. Why is everyone only now screaming about it?

    This in no way helped Trump win the election. America decided they did not want Hillary as our president. We have spoken. What don't you understand about Hillary causing Hillary to lose the election?

    Its the left leaning in the FBI and CIA......Clinton Cult members and Demos. Also Loretta Lynch has come and said the Russians did not breach the Integrity of the US Election System and that Also, includes tampering with voting machines. The ODNI has already said....they cannot validate the motive. Not unless we have the Russians who did the hacking. We don't!

    Putin says.....requires proof/evidence.....Put up or shut up. That is what he told BO the Peep. The Peep stuttered and then came back with an idle and useless threat.

    I think it is funny that unnamed sources talking about one hack somehow disproves the FBI statement that both Democrats and Republicans were sucessfully hacked.

    But it is progress that the fruit loop contingent is willing to believe the WSJ when they say the Russians were doing the hacking. At least the issue of who did the hacking is resolved.

    Lets see the link on the RNC was hacked.....as the WSJ says the RNC wasn't. They aren't as incompetent as Democrats. Oh and.....don't even think about the NY Times who was Debunked by the WSJ.

    So now you think the FBI and CIA come to conclusions with no evidence. Any idea how silly that sounds.

    Younappear confused between releasing information selectively to try and influence the election and tampering with voting machines. They are different. Maybe you should consider actually listening when Obama speaks.

    Nobody has claimed the RNC was hacked. You are confused. What was said was that Republicans were hacked. Understand the difference?

    ODNI isn't onboard with the CIA Clinton Cult members and what they think the intent was. Oh and Lynch said there was no evidence "Also" with voting machines.

    There was a reason why she used the word "also", when talking about the Integrity of the US Election System.

    So it looks like you appear to be confused as to ALL the US Election System entails.

    Tell BO peep produce some evidence or ST&U.

    Here is the sub headline from the Wall Street Journal article that you obviously didn't read, and that NoiseMax deliberately left out.

    The only Republican that we know was hacked was Lindsey Graham. Which again, any Repubs that were communicating with Hillary and her people were compromised. That would be the Neo Cons.

    So it looks like you are still confused. As I gave you the clue in with the WSJ.

    LMAO.....Here is what you missed as to why they were less persistent and less aggressive.

    concerned RNC officials then called a private computer security firm, which in turn called the FBI and obtained information about what kinds of malicious emails to look for......snip~

    Next time know what you are talking about.....before making yourself look foolish.

    No, it "turns out" that the Russians tried both parties, but they didn't work especially hard on the Republicans (for the obvious reason).

    Of course, the OP didn't tell you that, because he wanted to mislead you. Or he was merely parroting a disreputable right wing blog that did want to mislead its audience.
