NSA chief: 'Nation state' intervened in presidential election 'to achieve a specific effect'

(This is spy speak saying Russia ran an espionage operation on the US to put their agent in place.)

It's as though official and former official Washington D.C. is quietly shouting out "don't let this happen," as the reality of Donald Trump sinks in deeper and deeper. Case in point, the National Security Agency. Adm. Michael Rogers, head of the NSA and the U.S. Cyber Command, who spoke at a Wall Street Journal forum on Tuesday. He was speaking generally about cybersecurity, then this happened.


[Deputy Editor-in-Chief Rebecca] Blumenstein also asked Rogers about WikiLeaks, and the slow and steady leak of emails stolen from Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta's gmail account. "There shouldn't be any doubts in anybody's mind: This was not something that was done casually, this was not something that was done by chance, this was not a target that was selected purely arbitrarily," Rogers said. "This was a conscious effort by a nation state to attempt to achieve a specific effect."

I said this here on DU before the election.

The FBI failed to investigate. They looked the other way on purpose.

Why won't the US voters listen and comprehend?
