re: "Russian hack" of DNC happened July 2015, before Trump announced his presidential campaign

It neither excuses the actions of foreign actors who sought to interfere nor those of any potential colluders on our side.

Don't try to change the subject

This entire witch hunt started because the media said trump was colluding with Russians because Putin hacked the DNC to help Trump

Trump hasn't even announced he was running for president yet

You clown

to protect a bunch of unclassified campaign-related communications.

Three observations:
(a) SAP material on Clinton's Private Server was not unclassified.
(b) Material on the DNC Server was deemed valuable enough to allow Russians to """hack""" our election.
(c) Individuals responsible for a and b are, or would be, responsible for maintenance of security throughout government.

Odd language coming from you.

Does one EVER ""excuse"" espionage?
In fact do those of you in the field EVER assume espionage will NOT be attempted?

Of course not!

We can slap the hand of those countries who attempt it. But our major impact is through anticipation, interdiction, and other prevention of effective espionage.

Yet you "don't give a wooden nickel about" it. I'll bet you do. If not, you should.
