New details emerge about 2014 Russian hack of the State Department: It was ‘hand to hand combat’

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world...=.936735dbdb38

As we know, Washington Post is relentless and by comparison, Washington Times is a joke.
You really take this Rambo thing serious...hand to hand combat.

Its NSA Promotion...PR.

What the heck is Trump doing tweeting fake news at 3:15 AM?

Here's a good piece indicating that this new revelation is much ado about nothing.

Wouldn't you if you are all alone in bed and unable to sleep trying to figure out how to build a wall and pay for it?

Perhaps this is too simplistic but I find it perfectly plausible -- and personally acceptable -- that Trump and his associates may have been "tapped" because we were listening to Russia from the other end.

i.e., "Mr. President, if you weren't talking to Russia we'd have never heard you."

Sum? If this continues? I'm wholly great with someone in authority saying folks were, indeed, listening. But, then, I want the full thousand pound lead hammer dropped as to why.

I hear that he's gonna subcontract the great and glorious wall to a building firm from Red China. Moron probably thinks it's the same firm that built China's 'Great Wall'.

From the moment Trump indicated that he did not the support the "General Breedlove" argument, I expected him to be under intense surveillance.

He should also expect this.

Flynn doesn't care two bits about the taxes - he wants immunity so he avoids felony charges that would halt his pension, and disclosure charges that likewise would do the same. High ranking military officers are not allowed to affiliate with foreign countries in most respects without first obtaining permission from DOD.

Trump has his back re the IRS visiting for back taxes.
