If you think this is worthwhile, please kick and rec!(Have you called your senators today and told them to say no to DeVos and Pruitt? If not, do it now! 202-225-3121).
Welp, the plot on the Russian hack of our democracy thickens. You'll notice a lot of articles today on the "disappearings" and arrests and deaths that are happening in the top levels of the Russian cyber-intelligence community. Putin seems to have sussed out who leaked the Russian dossier on Trump.
As some of you pointed out, Rachel did a really good job of describing what is happening, and if you haven't seen it, you must. Here are links (two parts of the same story):

Below are 20 articles. Please click on each and scroll through. Also, please spend a little time each day on BuzzFeed and MotherJones. They are leading the way in investigating what is going on.

(9,114 posts)But the December info from the WaPo had CrowdStrike's assessment that it was Russian Military intel occupying Ukraine that were behind the attack. ( http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1014&pid=1646564 )
Some of the info in your links connecting Anonymous factions to our intel and russian intel was interesting. I always thought that was likely.
The far righties in our intel were in on this hack, I'd bet.
Squinch
(50,949 posts)How else to explain the fact that they feel they need to clear out the State Dept?
Raster
(20,998 posts)...high-placed sources like THE WHITE HOUSE may have given Putin/KGB our sources in Russia that brought us news that Russia hacked our election. PEOPLE IN RUSSIA HAVE DIED TO BRING US THE TRUTH!

why isn't this getting more attention? Trump is illegitimate .
He is POS not POTUS. He is a traitor.
