Arizona voter database targeted by criminals, not Russia, source tells Reuters

Source: The Hill

A source in the Trump administration said Russia did not carry out a hack on an Arizona county’s election system during the 2016 campaign, Reuters reported Sunday.

The administration official told the news outlet that criminals conducted the attack ahead of the 2016 election. That official’s comment was in response to a CBS News “60 Minutes” story on Russia’s computer hacking before the 2016 presidential election, Reuters said.

The Department of Homeland Security in a prior analysis concluded that Russia had hacked several election systems, including the one in Arizona.

Reuters noted that in 2016 it reported on the FBI identifying Russian hacks of systems in Illinois and Arizona.

Even if it bothers little Putin.

I would like to see Trump and Putin face off in a wrestling contest. Trump has the weight and height but not any heart to beat Putin. While Putin, being so little, would be faster and more agile. And I think Putin would have the heart to beat up Trump....only in my imagination.
