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.

I suspect suicide after he loses the election in two years. Ivanka in womens' prison will be serialized on Netflix.

I doubt that suicide is Donald's style. He loves adoration from others too much, and I think he'll never run out of sycophants. And it's by no means certain that he'll lose in 2020. Not without a credible challenge from the Dems.

What I think is likely is that his son Don Jr. is going to be indicted in a matter of weeks. Whether he goes to trial, is convicted, and serves time is another matter. I see his dad poised with a pen to sign a pardon.

Donald Sr.'s fate is less clear. Some have said you can't indict a sitting president -- the remedy is impeachment and a trial in the Senate. But I wonder. We'll see.

As for Ivanka, I don't think she has done anything that will put her in a jail cell. Not even her mishandling of her e-mail account. (See Hillary Clinton and Colin Powell.)
