House GOP Campaign Committee Says Its Emails Were Hacked During 2018 Campaign (talkingpointsmemo.com)
The National Republican Congressional Committee was hacked this election cycle, it admitted Tuesday afternoon. From a report: "The NRCC can confirm that it was the victim of a cyber intrusion by an unknown entity. The cybersecurity of the Committee's data is paramount, and upon learning of the intrusion, the NRCC immediately launched an internal investigation and notified the FBI, which is now investigating the matter," NRCC spokesman Ian Prior said in a statement.
"To protect the integrity of that investigation, the NRCC will offer no further comment on the incident." The major breach included thousands of emails from four senior aides, according to Politico, which first reported the hacks. An outside vendor noticed and alerted the committee in April. The committee then launched an internal investigation and alerted the FBI.

This is a distraction from the breaking story about possible GOP election fraud scandal coming to light in North Carolina.
The allegation is that someone on the GOP payroll was hiring people to go door to door and collect absentee ballots. This is illegal under NC law.
Additionally, those ballots passed through unknown hands, and may have been culled, substituted or otherwise altered in the process.

Just a reminder kids: When the Republicans are accused of doing something, it's wrong, illegal, shady, cheating, etc, however when the Democrats do it, it's pure, good, well intended, righteous
Nice try at a false equivalency. There's no evidence, beyond a wild accusations and conspiracy theories put together after the fact without a shred of evidence, that the democrats have done anything of the kind.
Whereas Republicans have been caught red-handed, with credible evidence building up throughout the process.
As for the "hacking" distraction, there's no evidence the Dems had anything to do with that either, and plenty that they did not (such as the fact that nothing was leaked when it could have mattered). If this even happened, it's probably more about Russia, the Alt-Right, and/or the Trump regime having compromat on Republicans to keep them in line.
But while Republicans will no doubt try to throw around as much whatabboutism and false equivalencies as they can (and trump up nonsensical accusations to muddy the waters -- I'm amazed they haven't trotted out some tired anti-Hillary conspiracy theory yet again), the evidence of their malfeascance and treason continues to build, while their distractions and bullshit-counter-accusations grow less and less believable with every passing hour.
Texas is one of the few states in the nation that can actually survive on its own.
Most of the rigged votes are by the GOP. That includes a House election suspended during an investigation of massive GOP vote rigging. But you don't care about things like that, because that means caring about facts. You far prefer to hate people who are different to you. So much easier, requires no effort or logic.
