Exclusive: The Democratic National Committee Has Told the FBI It Found Evidence Its HQ Was Bugged
Source: Mother Jones
"In September, according to these sources, the DNC hired a firm to conduct an electronic sweep of its offices. After Russian hackers had penetrated its email system and those of other Democratic targets, DNC officials believed it was prudent to scrutinize their offices. This examination found nothing unusual.
In late October, after conservative activist James O'Keefe released a new set of hidden-camera videos targeting Democrats, interim party chairwoman Donna Brazile ordered up another sweep. There was a concern that Republican foes might have infiltrated the DNC offices, where volunteers were reporting to work on phone banks and other election activities. (For some of their actions, O'Keefe and his crew have used people posing as volunteers to gain access to Democratic outfits.)
The second sweep, according to the Democratic officials, found a radio signal near the chairman's office that indicated there might be a listening device outside the office. "We were told that this was something that could pick up calls from cell phones," a DNC official says. "The guys who did the sweep said it was a strong indication." No device was recovered.
The DNC sent a report with the technical details to the FBI, according to the DNC officials. "We believe it's been given by the bureau to another agency with three letters to examine," the DNC official says. "We're not supposed to talk about it."."

(23,105 posts)That cadre of committed Clinton haters would just bury it, like they did with he Russian evidence of collusion with Drumpf. Wish Lynch would fire Comey and all the leakers immediately, or suspend them without pay while they are being tried for flagrant violations of the Hatch Act. Hope they gave this to the CIA instead, but bet it was the hooverites.

(2,117 posts)Unfortunately, the "liberal media" doesn't give a shit. They'd rather talk about the data the felons stole than the fact that felons stole data.
I find that impossible to believe, but there you go.

All the while the Russians invited to hack, the US Constitution
undermined by refusal to hold hearings for Obama's Supreme
Court nominee, voters intimidated with poll watchers ... and on
and on.
They're pointing their finger at our Democrats so they can do these
other things while the press and the public is distracted!
