WTF. Even the dullest and most slow-witted of Freepers could connect the dots on this and understand immediately that this was not some kind of thing where IT people were trying to help their employers, fix problems and such, but was instead, an espionage endeavor. From the article:

1.) They made unauthorized access to congressional servers in 2016

2.) They were accessing the data of members for whom they did not work

3.) They were logging in as members of Congress themselves

4.) They were covering their tracks

5.) Their behavior mirrored a “classic method for insiders to exfiltrate data from an organization” (Gee, how many millions did we pay to have them conclude this???)

6.) They continued even after orders to stop

7.) Numerous members’ data may have been secretly residing not on their designated servers, but instead aggregated onto one server (Hmmm...I wonder why? I wonder...)

8.) Authorities said that the entire server was then physically stolen.

WTF! The server was "stolen"? You know, I thought the weaponizing of the FBI by Leftists to take down the opposition campaign was (or should be) the biggest scandal of our lifetimes by far, INCLUDING Watergate, but THIS...how is this not getting to the public in the tone it should be?
