Statement by the President on Actions in Response to Russian Malicious Cyber Activity and...

Maj Kevin "Mac" McLaughlin - then why did the Hildebeast win the popular vote?

Look, I'm not making any claims the Russians were in our voting machines. The accusation is specifically about getting into the DNC servers and stealing their email. The fact they were in the DNC systems and that their phishing attack got into Podesta's Gmail account has been released and confirmed.

I personally do not believe this affected the election in a manner which the Dems are claiming either. Trump won legitimately through an effective campaign of going after ignored blue collar workers in key states.

My point was to inform folks that there is indeed proof the Russians were inside the DNC servers. What they did with that access is still not confirmed. But it does tell me that the DNC not only needs to fix their leadership, but they also need to start paying attention to the advice of cyber experts.

Maj Kevin "Mac" McLaughlin - fair enough... also note the DNC did NOTHING after being warned they were hacked. My problem is with the ppl who say the election was hacked. Wikileaks say their sources were not Russian. Their credibility is better than that of the DNC

Sgt Wayne Wood - Totally agree 100%. My interest is to make sure all the facts are known. As a cyber expert I take great interest in getting our leadership to understand the importance of cyber security. Up until fairly recently cyber ops folks have been categorized simply as IT support. This is not what we do and now we've got our leadership's interest.

He's just pissed that his "legacy" is going to evaporate, and he's trying to stay relevant.
