Oh, get real. What's going to happen about that security breach? NOTHING, that's what. [View all]

Bupkis.

Niente.

Zilch.

There will be a ton of hand-wringing and pearl-clutching in the national 'mainstream media'.

There will be a lot of earnest, scary analysis and warnings from people who know what they're talking about and know exactly how serious this is but have zero power to do anything about it.

Some Congressional Democrats will "demand hearings" which they will not get.

There will be massive tut-tuttery from the Democratic establishment.

There will be a bunch of yawns from the GOP.

And there will be no response at all from Putin's team in the White House, because THEY ARE DOING EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTS THEM TO DO, and that's all they care about.

And no one can stop them anymore.

realistically,
Bright
