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.

One thing we know for sure: we'll never see any of these hacked emails on Wikileaks.
You are welcome on my lawn.
The evil ones. Admit they were hacked my ass, they're just drumming up conspiricy theories to attack the democrats.
Even worse, because of this I'm now expecting Trump any day to put forth the theory that this somehow means that the Democrats did not actually win the House in the recent election and the Republican victory was stolen. I live in a red state and if he does this, yes, lots of people here will believe it.
