Related: About this forumThe FBI is now investigating the suspected Russian hack of DNC emails.
I wonder what will happen if a Trump/Putin connection is uncovered?
-------------------
The FBI on Monday confirmed they are investigating a hack into the Democratic National Committee, the first acknowledgment from the agency that they are probing the incident, which US officials suspect came from a Russian cyber attack.
Fallout over the emails led DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz to announce her resignation Sunday.
"The FBI is investigating a cyber intrusion involving the DNC and are working to determine the nature and scope of the matter," the agency said in a statement. "A compromise of this nature is something we take very seriously, and the FBI will continue to investigate and hold accountable those who pose a threat in cyberspace."
The suspected Russian hack is part of a wave of Russian cyber attacks aimed at political organizations and academic think tanks in Washington, US officials briefed on the investigations say.

I do know that leaving the data unsecured was gross negligence on the part of the DNC.

(21,168 posts)I want to see that SOB taken down and humiliated and run out of town. I feel this will be Watergate on steroids considering the unsavory characters running his campaign.
The cheeto name will then will associated as a traitor to this country. But will his brain washed zombie supporters still stand lby him?
