The U.S. official in charge of protecting American elections from hacking says the Russians successfully penetrated the voter registration rolls of several U.S. states prior to the 2016 presidential election.
In an exclusive interview with NBC News, Jeanette Manfra, the head of cybersecurity at the Department of Homeland Security, said she couldn't talk about classified information publicly, but in 2016, "We saw a targeting of 21 states and an exceptionally small number of them were actually successfully penetrated."
..."We were able to determine that the scanning and probing of voter registration databases was coming from the Russian government."

Meanwhile, Rex Tillerson on the subject of Russian meddling (for which he and Trump didn't impose the required sanctions a couple of weeks back):
“The point is, if it's their intention to interfere, they are going to find ways to do that. We can take steps, but this is something that, once they decide they are going to do it, it's very difficult to pre-empt it."

Now even the holier-than-thou Pence is again lying for Trump:
Vice President Pence said Wednesday that the U.S. intelligence community "universally" concluded that Russia did not have an effect on the outcome of the 2016 presidential election, despite the fact that officials have made no such judgment.
“Irrespective of efforts that were made in 2016 by foreign powers, it is the universal conclusion of our intelligence communities that none of those efforts had any effect on the outcome of the 2016 election,” Pence said at an event hosted by Axios, a claim he later repeated.

Jared, with his gargantuan debts, can't get a security clearance. Ever. Time for him to go.

“F.B.I. director Wray just testified in the Senate that — despite Russia’s ongoing intrusions into our electoral systems — Potus has never charged the F.B.I. with protecting U.S. elections from Russia! Let that sink in. That’d be like F.D.R. doing nothing in response to Pearl Harbor.”
- Constitutional Lawyer Laurence H. Tribe

Bannon has also been talking with Mueller. Now that he’s no longer Donny’s boyfriend, will he spill?

Is Donny a traitor?
Americans must live with the uncertainty of not knowing whether Trump has the best interests of the United States or those of Russia at heart.
The fact that such an unstable egomaniac occupies the White House is the greatest threat to the national security of the United States in modern history.
