More states confirm suspected cyberattacks sourced to DHS
: Dec 16, 2016

ATLANTA - Channel 2 Investigative Reporter Aaron Diamant has learned two more states’ election agencies have confirmed suspected cyberattacks linked to the same U.S. Department of Homeland Security IP address as last month’s massive attack in Georgia.
The two states reporting the suspected cyberattacks were West Virginia and Kentucky.

"We need somebody to dig down into this story and figure out exactly what happened," said Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp.

In the past week, the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office has confirmed 10 separate cyberattacks on its network over the past 10 months that were traced back to DHS addresses.

"We're being told something that they think they have it figured out, yet nobody's really showed us how this happened,” Kemp said. "We need to know."

He says the new information from the two other states presents even more reason to be concerned.

If Jeh Johnson is even on the same continent, he's slime, and he's guilty, just because he exists.

Whether DHS did it or not, at least someone is looking at this in depth, and they should have protection.

Top Lawmaker Accuses CIA of Illegally Snooping on Senate

Sen. Dianne Feinstein accused the Central Intelligence Agency of illegally spying on computers the agency gave to Senate staff for an investigation of Bush-era interrogation practices, taking public a war that once raged behind the scenes
Generally friendly with the intelligence community, Feinstein asserted that the CIA may have engaged in unconstitutional and criminal activity by interfering in an investigation of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence — the body tasked with oversight of the intelligence community. The CIA, Feinstein alleged, appeared to have illegally snooped on Senate staff computers, stonewalled when it came to handing over documents and sought to have staff investigated. Her comments were the first public allegations of wrongdoing after congressional officials had anonymously made the accusations in recent news reports.
CIA Director John Brennan quickly fired back at Feinstein. “That’s just beyond the scope of reason,” Brennan said during an event at the Council on Foreign Relations. An interview with the CIA director responding to Feinstein’s allegations is set to air on MSNBC at noon and in full on NBC News on Tuesday evening.

Vermont Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy, who has worked on intelligence issues throughout his career, called Feinstein’s speech the most important he’s heard on the Senate floor in his 40 years as a member of the body

And would "we" be surprised? Doubt it, there's just too much weirdness these days.
