In the transcript published by the Post, McCarthy speculates that the Russians hacked the Democratic National Committees computers and, in the process, discovered whatever opposition-research materials the Democrats had gathered on Trump.

The committee failed for 11 MONTHS to tell the public and the 21 states that they were hacked by the Russians. Why did they wait 11 months? Maybe to let all the evidence of the intrusions to be destroyed before cybersecurity forensic specialist got to see the computer evidence?
