Wouldn’t the hack of the White House and the State Department be much more important than that of the DNC? We’re talking about actual operations as opposed to what Donna Brazile thought of Bernie Sanders. And yet, did the Obama regime call for Russia’s head? Did they make a similar call for an investigation all over the media? No, it was muted at best.
Russia is always trying to hack us, that’s a given. And yes, they should suffer for it. But it’s Obama and the Democrats who have failed in the security to protect our institutions and are using possible attacks now to serve their political ends.
Via Powerline:
You probably don’t. We broke the story on Power Line in October 2014, writing about it here, here, here, here, here and here. The White House’s computers were down for weeks because of the intrusion by a “foreign power,” which the administration finally identified as Russia. It wasn’t just the White House, either; it was the entire Executive Office of the President, which comprises a good chunk of the executive branch. Nor was that all: the State Department’s computer system was hacked, too.
While we pounded away at the story, the White House refused to respond to our inquiries. The Washington press corps, which must have known that the White House’s computers were out of action, maintained a discreet silence, declining to write about the Russian hack, even though many D.C. reporters no doubt followed the story on Power Line. Why the coy silence? Because it was October 2014, weeks before the midterm elections, and the story reflected poorly on the Obama administration, which didn’t even discover the intrusion itself. It turned out that American officials were alerted to the Russian hack of the White House and State Department by an unidentified ally (I’m guessing Israel).
