I really do think that the recent one has little or nothing to do with who was and will be President. I consider it, rather, to be part of an ongoing E-war. Which so far, we do appear to be losing.
Trump gave ‘green light’ for Russia to hack into Pentagon computers: National security reporter
During an MSNBC “Morning Joe” panel discussion on the reported massive cybersecurity attack on the U.S. government’s computer systems, two experts on national security said it was exceedingly damaging with one panelist adding that Donald Trump gave the Kremlin the “green light” by cozying up to Vladimir Putin.
According to a New York Times report, “The discovery suggests that the scope of the hacking, which appears to extend beyond nuclear laboratories and Pentagon, Treasury and Commerce Department systems, complicates the challenge for federal investigators as they try to assess the damage and understand what had been stolen.”
Speaking with co-host Willie Geist, former Central Intelligence Agency chief of staff, Jeremy Bash, called the breach an “epic national security bombshell.”
“Well, the Russians appear to have implanted the malicious code, malware, in a software security update that was utilized by hundreds of thousands of customers including those you listed,” Bash told host Geist. “This is an epic national security bombshell in our history and the incoming Biden team is going to have a monumental task. First they’ll have to do a comprehensive damage assessment. That can’t be done in hours or days, that will take weeks and months to figure out exactly what the Russians now have their hands on.”
He then added, “It’s complicated by fact that the Russians will be watching every single move we make in our network. They’ll literally be reading the emails of the IT and security professionals who are responsible for this and they have to figure out how to kick the Russians out of the network and that could take years.”
From the paybacks are Hell department: (1) Biden nominates Preet Bharara for AG (2) If Trump doesn’t leave town on AF-1 by the 19th of January, Biden does what Trump wanted to do when he fired Comey. Let him find his own transportation to Florida. The incoming President has traditionally allowed the ex-President to fly home on AF-1. Trump has ignored so many traditional courtesies and protocols, wouldn’t that be a kick in the pants for Biden to return the favor.
Let’s see; NYC doesn’t want any of the Trumps to return. Palm Beach has zoned Mar a Lago as non-residential, and the good folks of south Florida, though they voted for him, don’t want him living in their back yard. I know, the entire mob family can move to Russia!
“A good defense isn’t enough; we need to disrupt and deter our adversaries from undertaking significant cyberattacks in the first place,” Mr. Biden said, adding, “I will not stand idly by in the face of cyberassaults on our nation.”
President Trump has yet to say anything about the attack.
And, today (Saturday) Trump is claiming the Russians are NOT behind it – it’s the Chinese!! Yup… as usual, he knows more than those actually qualified to know and understand what is going on. Seems to me it’s not too late to implement the 25th amendment as mentally incompetent – every day he remains in power, another day of things falling apart…

Nobody’s rolled over more for the Russians than Donald Trump. Hear no Russians, See no Russians, Speak no Russians. It’s just a hoax.

I’d pay real money for the next AG to prove what Putin has on Trump.

If you remove all the exaggerations, half truths and outright lies from that book, there might be one paragraph of text left.

At first I thought the “Trump Presidency” book was too thick, but then I realized it had to contain all of his lies…

While I don’t expect that all the blame falls on Trump, We must remember that the Republicans always claim that how the top guy leads is important.
Dutch hacker finds (easily) that Trump’s Twitter password is: MAGA2020!.
Yep, setting an example for stupidity once again, Donald J. Trump. the guy who uses unsecure phones, blows off security meetings, etc etc.
