CYBERATTACK/RUSSIA/TRUMP ADMIN: “In an age when so much of our lives are conducted online, cyber attacks must be treated as a serious threat by our leadership at the highest levels…

Initial indications, including from Secretary Pompeo and Attorney General Barr suggest that Russia is responsible for this breach.

It certainly fits Russia’s long history of reckless and disruptive cyber activities.

But the Trump Administration needs to make an official attribution.

This assault happened on Donald Trump’s watch.

It is still his responsibility as president to defend American interests for the next four weeks, but rest assured that even if he does not take this seriously, I will.”
