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.

That this was some evil conspiracy between Trump and TEH RUSSIANS?!

No it was The Hildabeast who colluded. So spake THE HOLY MUELLER!

And yet no Democrats use the illegally stolen info

[Anonymous Coward]

There are no Democratic politicians willing to participate in a Russian misinformation and hacking campaign like Moscow Donald.

Democrats turn over illegally acquired info to the FBI instead of promiting Russia government propaganda based on hacked info.

Pssst. The GOP paid for the dossier to be created, then abandoned it when it became clear that Trump would win the primary. The DNC just stepped in and continued the funding after the GOP stopped.

Yet it is the GOP election suspended for mass voter fraud, not a DNC one. Curious. It's a GOP lame duck session aiming to prevent DNC elected officials taking office. Curiouser. It's the GOP that worked to relocate voters into swing states, not the DNC. Curiouser and curiouser. It's a GOP president who has been repeatedly ruled as taking unconstitutional actions, and a GOP Senate that refused to vote on a Democratic supreme court judge specifically for the purpose of rigging the court.

Let's face it. Republicans don't give a shit about the law, they care only about power and winning. Whatever it takes.

I won't argue there are many Democrats who are better, but be aware there is no honour amongst thieves. You gain no brownie points for loyalty. They will stab you in the back, they always have and always will.

Stop wasting time with sides and start working on getting the mess cleared up. A mess the Republicans are just as much at fault for.
