So the big reveal at the hearing was...... absolutely nothing. Oh, there will be a forthcoming report.

Here is the most telling tidbit. Keep in mind that Michael Sulmeyer is the director of the Belfer Center's Cyber Security Project at Harvard Kennedy School. He, and thus Harvard, like so many 'liberal' institutions epitomize our post-truth society.

Quote:
Newkirk: Should we consider “hacking the voters” to be as illegitimate as tampering directly with the elections process?

Sulmeyer: Both are out of bounds. Whether you're trying to conduct an information operation to swing the results of an election, or whether you're trying to mess with tallying machines, we have to respond forcefully to both of those. We have a lot of work we can do over the next four years to be better next time around. The question for the incoming administration is: Are they going to make this a priority or are they going to leave us all vulnerable?


What he is saying, is that journalism should be defended against by the Federal Govt. That it should be an "Administration Priority" to make sure information on the doings and workings of our political parties don't seethe light of day.

It is even referred to as "hacking the voters"

If this insanity prevails, maintaining any semblance of a democratically oriented Republic will not be feasible in the long term.

How dare anyone "hack the voters" by letting the public know what their overlords really think and plan!
