It was a very weak effort, but Obama told them to ‘cut it out”, so there’s that.
Real burglars don't just get into an unlocked car and steal the stereo, they're looking for a more complicated heist.

Jesus, Darrin. You just have to announce you don't give a about anything but your beloved Trump in every post.
doesn't answer my question and throws in obligatory obama snark
Just seems like a very unsophisticated “attack” to me. Sorry.
and that in and of itself rules out the chance that the russians played any role in it?
So you can't decide if the DNC was hacked by Russians because of Obama, or if they weren't hacked by the Russians because it wasn't sophisticated enough. I can't decide if this is a textbook case of cognitive dissonance or if you're just hedging bets to protect yourself from having to criticize Donald Trump, who you seem to fall more in love with every day.
DNC hired Crowdstrike to destroy the servers. Take it up with the DNC and the HQ Special they got from Comey's FBI.
Where did you get this information, Chris?
Here's a link saying you're completely full of , Chris:
Trump’s ‘Missing DNC Server’ Is Neither Missing Nor a Server
lol dailybeast
Question pending, Chris.
Where did you get your information?
ehhh... you can't say the attack wasn't sophisticated when it was coordinated to attack over 300+ people and took over a year for actual forensic pros to put all the details together.
Eventually, all attacks are found and traced back (see Stuxnet), what matters is timing, and it that sense, this worked.
Also, lots of folks here were laughing at Shillary when she was denouncing Russia for hacking into the DCC, let's see if they will admit she was right all along.
She might be the most unlikeable politico in the world, tbh, and I don't know any email leaks or not would change that, but she was spot-on on this one.
Trump Tells Hannity: ‘We’re Doing Really Well With Russia As Of Today’
‘We’ve had a phony witch hunt deal drive us apart,” the president said after the Helsinki summit.
President Donald Trump defended his statements after meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday,
crediting himself with defusing tension between the two nations while praising his counterpart as “very, very strong.”
he said the Russian leader told him it was a “shame” that special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into 2016 campaign interference had driven a wedge between the two countries.
“Maybe we just knocked down that wedge, but it has driven a wedge, and President Putin said that,”
Trump told Hannity.
“One of the early things he said when we started was:
‘It’s really a shame, because we could do so much good.’
And they drove a phony wedge.
It’s a phony witch hunt.”
“It’s a sad thing,” Trump continued.
“It’s a very sad thing for our country to see this.”Trash gives a ?

Trash's brain is shot, diseased, his vocab is at level of a 10 year old at best, his short sentences are not even good sound bites.
and of course he lives in wishful-thinking fantasy world of his own making, absent all "reality testing"
His kakistocracy Exec cabinet should go 25th on him, but of course, they are corrupt, co-opted, complicit.

European Politicians Alarmed By Trump’s ‘Ridiculous’ Russia Stance
The president is sending other countries threatened by Moscow a message that ‘You’re on your own,’” one British MP said.
European lawmakers say President Donald Trump’s stunning news conference on Monday with Russian President Vladimir Putin
sent a message to other countries with democratic political systems similarly targeted for interference by Moscow that they cannot count on the U.S. to stand with them.
To deny evidence [of Russia’s meddling in the U.S.] is effectively to say to other countries who are victims [of] this... ‘You’re on your own,’”
He has been intensifying his criticism of longstanding U.S. allies, going so far in a CBS News interview to categorize the European Union as a “foe.”
“It’s a very difficult time for Europe right now,“Kalniņš said.
“All of this is playing into the hands of Mr. Putin,
who wants to weaken Europe
because the way he can make Russia great is by making everyone else weaker.”

Trump's Helsinki Bow To Putin Leaves World Wondering: Why?
Much of America was watching, and much of the world. And you could hear the question arising from countless places at once:
"What is going on?"
one weekend story in The New York Times — based on several anonymous sources described as close to the president — suggested that
the president's pride in winning the White House simply cannot abide any suggestion that he had help.
The story was far from flattering, suggesting
an ego so boundless as to subs ute personal myth for plain reality — not to mention the national interest.
This "everyone does it" defense was picked up by Sen. Rand Paul, the Kentucky Republican, among others.
Jonathan Chait's frankly speculative construct in New York magazine that suggests
Trump became involved with various Russian figures as far back as the late 1980s,
when he needed money and could not raise it in the U.S. —
a situation that has recurred several times since with far larger sums of money.
a reporter for the Associated Press
asked Putin directly if he had incriminating material on President Trump.
The question caused a stir in the ornate ballroom filled with dignitaries from several countries.
Putin dismissed the idea with a wry smile, noting that
as a former KGB officer he knows "how dossiers are made up."
Trump began talking about Hillary Clinton's missing emails and the "brilliant campaign" he had run in 2016 — citing the tally from the Electoral College.
It was as if the need to keep that Election Night feeling alive was greater
than the need to deal with the geopolitical situation at hand and defend the international rule of law.
Greater also than the need to support NATO and its mission to hold Putin accountable.
And greater than the first commitment of any president to protect the national security and preserve the democracy of the United States.

it strikes me as ominous that loyalty to country is tacitly defined here as support for intelligence agencies -- and that it is Democrats who are lining up behind them, against the president. seems to me nothing could underscore alt-right DERP STATE persecution fantasies better: the political establishment backing unelected bureaucrats over POTUS.
But it, DJT made this bed, let him lie in it.
Nobody made him or his underlings lie about contacts/meetings with Russians. Nobody made DJT slag his own executive agencies or mollycoddle Putin.
How Russia Conquered America — Without Firing a Bullet
What Happens When a Society Uses Democracy to Undo Its Own Sovereignty?
What a strange, weird, and chilling thing the world saw today.
An American president meekly, proudly handing over the keys to the house of democracy, to its most historic foe, in a bizarre, global, public spectacle.
Wasn’t it humiliating?
I think
Russia didn’t need to fire a bullet because it realized that all it needed to do was help finish what America itself had started.
The project of undoing a democracy — using a democracy.
three strands, an
economic one,
a social one, and
a cultural one.
Together, I think, they produced
a nation that was hollow, fragile, empty broken inside
— and thus
ready to be conquered by a foe, with a mere gentle act of seduction, not even a war, a fight, or a long and bitter struggle.

Democracy has inherent weakness in its openness.
That being said...
How Russia conquered America...
Give us a break.
far from conclusive, but Will Bunch identifies two ways Russian hacking could have moved the needle: by fouling voter rolls and stealing HRC's analytics.

Jack Goldsmith puts his finger on a question that should be asked: what would getting serious about cyber-intrusion of US elections look like?
https://www.lawfareblog.com/uncomfor...nference-putinThe question is what the United States should do about the unacceptable operations in 2016. So far, it hasn't done much. As I have longargued, I think the United States’ failure to look in the mirror is a large part of the problem. This is a difficult and painful thing to say the same day the president of the United States stood next to Putin, discredited U.S. intelligence agencies, and said “we’re all to blame” for the poor state of U.S.-Russia relations. I am certainly not blaming U.S. intelligence agencies, which don’t control U.S. strategic decisions, for anything. But the reality is that the United States government engages in substantially similar behavior to that which the Russians used to cause us great harm.
doing away with electronic voting machines and keeping voter rolls on paper might help a lot. lo tech records are harder for foreigners to hack.
Trash and the Repug party, infatuated with Pootin, have been compromised by the much smarter Pootin and his GRU mafiya.
Repugs own Congress, SCOTUS, WH and most of the states, and they are all infatuated with an adversary who wants NOTHING BUT ILL, nothing but chaos and decline, for USA, for the greater glory of Mother Russia.
Has anybody heard any significant leaders of the oligarchy complaining about Repugs being compromised by Pootin?
In the Cold War you are a far right winger.
They have conquered us...
Overstating/exaggerations gonna help this.
