I doubt NSA is talking to the author. Further if the author has seen the alleged report somebody has broken the law by leaking a classified report. OR THIS IS FAKE NEWS MADE UP TO MAKE A PHONY DEMOCRAT CASE SO THEY CAN DISCREDIT TRUMP OR THE ELECTION.

[MGG]

It was actually the Chinese. I saw that episode of Scorpion too.....

[TheConservativeBanker]

Evidently the report isn’t very secret. (:-)

[Honorary Serb]

Anyone who believes the ultra-leftist “The Intercept” will believe anything!!!!

Considering all the different kinds of voting machines this doesn’t hold much water.

They’ll need to be a little more specific.

[Hang'emAll]

What I worry about is the Soros voting machines.

Seems to me it could be possible to have these machines get a factory update just before an election and another right after the election to eliminate the evidence.

Smartmatic, a U.K.-based voting technology company with deep ties to George Soros, has provided voting technology in 16 states
including battleground zones like Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
Other jurisdictions affected are California, District of Columbia, Illinois, Louisiana, Missouri, New Jersey, Oregon, Washington and Wisconsin.

Why did Russian military intelligence want to access local government officials’ computers? Good question.

Gee, I dunno but maybe for the same reason the US military tries to gain access to Russia's, China's, England's, Australia's, Greenland's, Japan's, India's, Saudi Arabia's, and every other country on the planet.

you can understand why the NSA is concerned about an enemy power being that close to potentially fiddling with vote totals

They didn't raise an eyebrow during the two previous elections when over 100% of some precincts voted for the Terrorist in Chief.

Theoretically correct.

[plain talk]

Even if all this is true ... it has nothing to do with Trump.

[homegroan]

I remember that the CIA was touted as having the ability to hack as a Russian actor; to make any hack or email etc appear as if it came from Russia. Hmmmm.

[Terry Mross]

Maybe Russia just wanted to make sure Hillary wasn’t able to cheat.

[SeekAndFind]

re: Even if all this is true ... it has nothing to do with Trump.

The point is to CAST DOUBT on the legitimacy of Trump’s election victory.

If the Russians MIGHT HAVE successfully hacked into KEY voting places, so their logic goes, there is the chance that Hillary might have lost when she should have won.

[VanShuyten]

“...last August Russia’s military intelligence unit — the GRU — hacked into a software company, likely VR System...”

A report I heard this morning said that in the intelligence report, the connection to the GRU was assumed by analysts, not through direct evidence. That makes this report as reliable as previous reports on actions assigned to the GRU, due to the NSA’s ability to digitally forge sources.

Remember that attempted hacks of Georgia’s election system were attributed to US government agencies.

[Mr Radical]

Perhaps the Russians, or whoever it is, are trying not to change the outcome but simply to get a handle on how valid the election outcome is i.e. whether / by how much the result could have been affected by fraudulent registrations.

[Yulee]

Russia........Actually it was Soros. Didn't have to try that hard since he already controlled most voting machines.

Remember the machines switching votes to Hillary. Soros in action.

It's not the Russians, but it is the Socialists (Dems and Liberals), who have corrupted our voting process. Fortunately they didn't succeed this time.

The MSM has to keep people staring at those bright shiny balls they've flung in the air. Everything to keep the public from realizing the complicity of the MSM, Liberals, Socialists, Communist, BLM, OWS, and Soros, and their efforts to destroy our Republic and establish a socialist dictatorship.

[HollyB]

Exactly. It was DHS that hacked into Georgia’s voter registration last year.

[SubMareener]

It’s entirely possible that the CIA was spoofing a hack that the NSA picked up.
