No you didn't.... I asked about servers and email accounts... our vulnerability and restoring the confidence that Russia has sought to destroy. I see no evidence that any such vulnerability has been addressed. If you do, can you please point it out to me? Your investigation is about 'who'. I'm more interested in HOW... and what we've done to address it. If I didn't make that clear, I'll apologize.

Quote:Now that the Mueller report is out, I've seen a shift in tone from the right, that matches what you want. We've now stopped hearing them question if hacking happened, to talking about what we can do to address the issue going forward. We had to wait until the report came out for the right to jump on board, because the right needed to wait until Mueller cleared Trump of charges before they were willing to admit that the Russian government did what Comey et al accused them of doing.

Really? I guess you missed these (among others)


The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence issued a bipartisan report which asserted that the intelligence community’s findings on Russian meddling were fairly and professionally done and that more evidence had since come forward.

“As the inquiry has progressed since January 2017, the Committee has seen additional examples of Russia’s attempts to sow discord, undermine democratic institutions, and interfere in U.S. elections and those of our allies,” the report noted.

The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence released a report written by the committee’s Republicans which found no evidence that the Trump campaign worked with Russia to interfere with the election.

But that report did find that Russia had tried to meddle.

“In 2015, Russia began engaging in a covert influence campaign aimed at the U.S. presidential election,” it said. “The Russian government, at the direction of President Vladimir Putin, sought to sow discord in American society and undermine our faith in the democratic process.”

The fact that you don't remember any of this only proves my point

But despite these acknowledgements, I STILL can't find much talking about how they did it and what we've done to stop it from happening again... you know, restoring confidence or protecting ourselves. Can you?



I'm not expecting detailed information about encryption or whatever.... except perhaps as it relates to say facebook because it is a US public entity... if they can't keep Russians from manipulating it and influencing our elections, then maybe we need to just shut it down, or at least consider doing so around the election, or eliminating all political conversations on it. We can talk about the green new deal, how about the secure deal?

Heck, every day I learn something new about Facebook and how it manipulates people... but nothing about what we're doing to keep Russians (or really anyone else) from sowing discord, undermining democratic institutions, and interfering in U.S. elections
