The Russians are coming! No they’re not! Which is it?

26 Jul 2016

Am I the only one who sees the cognitive disconnect between the Democrats saying that there is no indication that the Russians (or Chinese) had access to Mrs. Clinton’s private server, and the assertion by many of those same Democrats that the Russians hacked the DNC to ensure she is defeated by Donald Trump?   ‘Course not; the WSJ has a great report out today on Mrs. Clinton’s email trial:

Former CIA Director Michael Hayden has said that he’d “lose respect for any serious intelligence agency on this planet if they had not accessed the emails” on her server.

One thing we know is that the Russians are very, very good at cyber.  I wouldn’t be surprised that they are trying to enter into our election cycle.  But I would be shocked if the Russians didn’t make sure they had access to both.

Likewise one should always assume your communications are being monitored.  Let’s face it, they are.  God at least is watching!
