#1 I would be a lot more terrified if a certain crazy witch would be in control.

#2 Nothing heard lately from former Klingon boss John Brennan.

The Wikileaks 'Vault 7' release is quite interesting. Reportedly, the Klingon Center for Cyber Intelligence (CCI), had over 5,000 registered users and had produced more than a thousand hacking systems, Trojans, viruses, and other ‘weaponized’ malware.' Could there have been one or two (Eric Snowden lites) within the 5,000 who failed to appreciate the goodness of their efforts ?

The existence (sanctioned or unsanctioned) of a 'fake hacking' effort should not be entirely dismissed. Disinformation, it's what they do, those deep within the swamp.

Do I have to wear a tin foil hat if I speculate that the hacking of the DNC email server was really done by the CIA? Is it too much to suggest that they commandeered a Russian server and hacked the DNC with their Russian bot? Am I completely over the rainbow if I suggest the plan all along was to associate Trump with Putin and thereby delegitimize his presidency?

#4 Apparently some of the hacking tools were designed to spoof other hackers. A tool would, for example, make it look like the Russians (or the Chinese, or the Ruritanians) did the hacking.

As one security expert put it in a post over at Instapundit: "attribution be difficult."

#5 I suspect a lot of liberals have a gut feeling Obama really did wiretap Trump (after all they would have) and are putting the pieces together and realizing their entire world really is collapsing around their ears.
