Here is what is really interesting about this. The US cyber command is under the military, rather than under the NSA. From my understanding, it is under Admiral Rogers, who we know is loyal to president Trump.

What is interesting, is it immediately after the Cyber command went live, president Trump appeared with a large group of military leaders and declared we were in The Calm before the storm.

I think you can all put two and two together.

As in other areas there will be conflict between the defensive command trying to close vulnerabilities and the offensive side wanting vulnerabilities left unreported and left open.
