In reply to the discussion: Obama White House Knew of Russian Election Hacking, but Delayed Telling [View all]MosheFeingold
(3,051 posts)To recap, there was a handful of electronic meddling going on, each distinct:
1. Hillary's private email server was apparently compromised by several different parties, perhaps simply by Carlos Danger (aka Anthony Weiner) being the idiot that he is;
2. John Podesta's private account, where he left the password as "password"; this appears to have been private hackers doing what they do because they can;
and much more seriously:
3. Someone, probably Russians, downloaded several local voter registration files and copied them. It's not clear what the purpose of this was. Theoretically, they could have added fake registered voters, but there is no evidence they did, nor evidence of illegal voters. This one is, by far, the most puzzling.
4. Whatever happened with the House Democrats internal server, which was apparently copied or accessed by contractors who have now fled to Pakistan (I think). I am assuming this was a blackmail effort or simply intelligence gathering by yet another outside interest. I doubt we will ever know what happened here because, Debbie Wasserman refused to let DHS investigate. If I was guessing (and keep in mind I was and am a Bernie supporter), it would show the DNC was even more unfair to Bernie than we already know about.
I think that's the world of the hacks we know about. Are there any others?
