I am not a big fan of this site, they tend to lean a bit farther left than I like, but this article is worth sharing.
If this is correct, it would appear that Russia is conducting a fairly extensive Information Operations (IO) campaign against the USA. Unlike the days before the internet when it was harder to get propaganda in front of the masses, the Internet and social media makes it easy to reach millions with no filter. Call it a cyber attack, call it IO or call it fake news, we have a serious problem. COL Mikel J. Burroughs SMSgt Minister Gerald A. "Doc" Thomas 1LT Sandy Annala SSG James J.

I wish the site would do an in-depth analysis of how Hillary Clinton screwed herself over with the server. Allowing Wikileaks to tell the world how bad she was. Everyone blames the Russians but Hillary Clinton is like an alcoholic that can't see the big picture. She blames others cheap plays victim on Benghazi even though she was the department of state Secretary so on and so forth.

I am sure some site will post an analysis of her defeat, I am sure there are several chapters in her book that many would nod their head to as they read it.
The entire matter with the private server I blame as much on POTUS as on Clinton. When the IT and security folks tell you that you cannot do it, and the Secretary of State keeps pushing for what she wants... someone has to sign off to make it happen. The only one that can do that is the President. I am sure that email was lost as well.
While not condoning the hack of the DNC etc, I am glad that the information was aired, I wish more people would read it. Given what was exposed with the leaked information, I am shocked and surprised that any thinking person could support Clinton for any office of public trust.

LTC (Join to see) - I remember that the guy who cleaned up her server to wipe it clean wasn't contempt of Congress and he refused to show up .I keep saying if anyone's mad at our current President, they have to blame themselves and HRC for her selfishness and her secretive goals. Had she had a government server, the chance to the being hacked are almost zero but having a website with your name on it makes it easy target but the Democrats are in blind allegiance of Hillary Clinton. Good thing independent voters decided to do something drastic and vote for someone they didn't like.

The cyber portion of the world has rapidly become one of our biggest vulnerabilities. We post everything about our lives, exercises, and some cases deployments. Makes gathering intel easy for the other side.

Thanks for sharing LTC (Join to see). To be honest I would expect Russian intelligence to be interested in technological and military significant information as opposed to our election processes.
I would expect it to be fake news for our potential adversaries of either Russia or China to conduct Information Operations (IO) against our election system.
