"We're trying to figure out what the state knew at the time," DeSantis said. "Obviously, the previous administration and the head of FDLE did not have that information."

He said the hackers gained access through a spearfishing email after a worker clicked a link.

Scott criticized his opponent in last year's election, then-Democratic U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, for saying Russians had hacked elections systems. Scott called the allegations sensational.

Scott will receive a briefing from the FBI on Wednesday, said spokesman Chris Hartline. Hartline confirmed that Scott wasn't aware of the hacking while he was serving as governor.

"It's pretty clear during our back and forth in the campaign there was no information provided to the state," Hartline said. "There will be a lot of questions ... We'll know more tomorrow."

1. Doesnt say which counties?

I'm guessing Volusia, Seminole or Orange

[IronLionZion]

2. Florida is a failed state, a banana republic

Republicans knew and enjoyed the benefits

3. That FBI briefing for Skeletor Scott better include a set of leg irons

He was complicit
As was the SOS-POS Biondi, who gave Trump a pass on a lawsuit and illegally raised $$ for him
As were many officials in office at the time.
LOCK THEM UP

6. it wasn't just her raising funds for him.

he gave her campaign a $25,000.00 contribution .

For some strange reason she dropped out of the lawsuit against Trump university after that.

9. thanks for filling in the gap there, I knew they were a shady pair

quid pro quo

[deminks]

4. 'There will be a lot of questions.'

Sure, asshole, the Russians just got in there to see if they could, but didn't mess with anything.

This is the tip of the iceberg, folks. The tip.

[Lucky Luciano]

5. Well he's at least not completely stonewalling from outside appearances which is good. nt

10. Yes, A Pleasant Surpise

During the campaign, he promised that, as a veteran, his integrity would feature prominently in his administration. This is one indication.

13. You mean he will resign? after getting help from the Russians.

DeSantis is a un-American racist pos. A person who put in his ads that he would like his kids to be like trump. Trumptrash

[The Liberal Lion]

7. The man in the White house that some choose to call "President"

is in fact not the President, but a complete fraud. trump did not win in MI, WI, PA, NC or FL and probably not in GA. He doesn't need impeached, because he has no lawful right to be in our white house. Given the absolute harm he has done there can be only one solution. The tree of liberty is thirsty and the tyrant must go.

11. Well Put!!! (n/t)
