REPORT: Intelligence officials believe Putin was directly involved in the Democratic Party hacks

Just a little behind the scenes info on Business Insider. First of all, 97% of it is owned by the German corporation, Alex Springer SE as of Sept. 2015. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...

Also, Alex Springer SE was represented at the Bilderberg meeting by it's CEO Mathias Dopfner. At that meeting, Hillary Clinton was chosen as the choice of winner in the US Presidential election. See: http://www.dcclothesline.co...

If you are wondering why there have been so many anti-Trump statements as well as comments that Putin appears to have caused Trump to win coming from the Business Insider...that appears to be the reason. Trump (and the Russians?) not only screwed up Clinton's hopes for the presidency but also that of the Bilderberg Group and the CEO of the owner of the Business Insider. Just a little bias there. lol

There were over 61,000 cyber attacks and security breaches across the entire federal government in 2013 alone. That figure was confirmed by the Obama Administration itself.

From 2010 to 2013 the number of attacks and security breaches increased by 35%.

In 2014, hackers took personally identifiable information, of more than 100,000 people from the Dept. of Energy. That data, which can be used to destroy the financial and personal interests of the individuals,
included names, dates and places of birth. It also included their social security and bank account numbers as well as information about their education and disabilities if they have any.

In January of 2014, hackers hit the Army Corps of Engineers and took sensitive information regarding our nation's 85,000 dams. That data included locations as well as the condition of and potential for
fatalities should any of those dams be breached.

In 2015, hackers breached the network of the Office of Personnel Management. That particular database held sensitive security clearance information on millions of federal employees and contractors. The information will be quite helpful to enemy foreign government counterespionage agents.

For goodness sake, the White House was even hacked two years ago and their computers were down
for weeks after the intrusion. 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 as well as the State Department’s
computers.

The Obama Administration downplayed it by maintaining a coy silence. The reason? The breach was discovered in October 2014, weeks before the midterm elections, and revelations of a data breach would reflect poorly on the Obama Administration. To make matters worse, the Obama Administration didn't even discover the security breach. The only reason they found out about it was because an unnamed ally, probably Great Britain or Israel, alerted them to it.

The Obama Admin almost immediately blamed the Russians. They've also blamed the Chinese for hacking federal government agencies in the past.

However, when it's discovered that Hillary Clinton used a private, unsecured server, stored in the bathroom of the company that set it up, to download highly classified national security information, Obama goes out
and campaigns for her!

Now the Obama Administration wants the American people to believe that an intrusion into the DNC and John Podesta’s email accounts by 'someone' they assume are the Russians, has suddenly taken on the importance of a major tectonic shift and we must pull out all the stops to find out if Trump knew about it.

Give me a break. Obama won't even allow the Secret Service to update the security systems while he's still in office. Instead, Trump will have to conduct the nation's business at a different location for up to a
year before those security upgrades are complete.

The bottom line is that Obama and his surrogate "progressives" in Congress don't give a damn about finding out who really hacked those e-mails. They care only about undermining the legitimacy of the next president.
They are a nasty group of individuals. A very nasty group.

I'm all for finding out who the hacker was in EVERY case I mentioned above. What I'm not interested in is the politicization of our intelligence agencies for the sole purpose of personal gain by an incompetent, lawless and increasingly irrelevant "progressive" party.

"...Putin’s goal, according to NBC News’ sources, was to undermine and discredit America as a global leader and hurt Clinton..."

Oh please, Obama did that all on his own.

Uh...spy. I don't know how correct they are, but, well...spy. It's hard to let go of your favorite activities and deal with politics all day. Personal involvement in the odd bit of spying now and then has to be a part of any KGB Agent's life, or it just gets too dull to bear.

Julian Assange says it is not true. He either is lying OR not!
James Clapper head of DNI said he did not know. He either is lying OR not!
James Comey head of the FBI said he did not know. He either is lying OR not!

A politically appointed Ambassador knows all, and is the only one on record.
