As Feds Continue To Blame Russia, Indiana Officials Expose DHS In Massive 2016 Election Hack

I have heard this story before..maybe on another board ? I find it very interesting that all the screaming the Russians did it.... or are hidden brothers with the current administration is actually a cover story for a in house directed attempted meddling by the prior administration into at least two states elections.

By Jack Burns

According to a report published by the Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group, the Department of Homeland Security, under the Obama administration, attempted to hack the Indiana State electoral system nearly 15,000 times. The news comes in the wake of months of post-election talk the Russians helped Donald Trump get elected, thwarting any chance of Hillary Clinton to win in November of 2016.

In terms of proof, the only evidence presented, which indicates the Election of 2016 was tampered with, is coming from sovereign states, two of whom are now pointing the finger at the Obama administration’s DHS, for attempting to hack their own state’s system. It must be plainly stated. Factually speaking, the Department of Homeland Security has twice been implicated in election hacking, not the Russians.

Of course when the DHS has been confronted with accusations coming from Georgia and Indiana, Their response so far has been ...NOTHING...

EXCLUSIVE: Obama’s Feds Tried to Hack Indiana’s Election System While Pence Was Governor

Indiana Secretary of State Connie Lawson, the incoming president of the association, told TheDCNF Tuesday that, “we know that between November 1 and December 16 we were scanned with about 14,800 scans, nearly 15,000 different times.”

The state’s IT team traced the intruder to a DHS computer’s IP address. The same DHS unit attempted 10 times in 2016 to hack into the Georgia electoral system.

Federal officials are barred under DHS rules from trying to penetrate a state system without the express approval of the state. Neither Georgia nor Indiana approved the DHS scanning attempts

What would this be defined as technically? Treason?
I guess not since they were "helping" their own people for their own country.

Other than the states pointing the finger just like the fed and *OBAMA* admin, do they have solid evidence? If they do, will the courts shut this down eventually?

Operating from a false IP address is a technique called "spoofing." Any professional hacker can masquerade as any agency they want. Zero proof presented of DHS involvement, just claims designed to deflect and confuse.

Why is the charge of treason suddenly in the air? Government employees are sworn to uphold the Constitution, not to be loyal to a Leader. Conviction for treason in the United States is intentionally difficult. The Bill of Rights insures free speech and due process. In order to be convicted of treason, it is necessary for the prosecution to prove intent.

Well, in turned Bush Jr and other conservatives created DHS modeled on the STASI and KGB in the first place. And YES, DHS often does act like them.

A quick search has shown that the Daily Caller is the source for this story, which has been cloned and distributed through the usual right wing agglomerating engines. There is no other source, and no video of any Indiana official making the statement quoted in the article. Divisive black propaganda.

If Trump disbands the DHS it would be his greatest accomplishment. I have a feeling he will be going another way, however.

There were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Benghazi wasn’t the result of a spontaneous demonstration against an anti-Islam film. And no, not yet do we believe the Russians hacked the Election of 2016, although two reports indicate our own federal government most certainly did. Ironically, DHS has yet to comment on the accusations coming from Georgia and Indiana, a notable silence which appears to be deafening.

Most if not all of these Russian did it hackings are just a meme the west created to vilify Putin/ Russia . There is going to be a lot of crow eating very soon ...

The 29-year-old man was arrested on Wednesday at Luton airport in southern England by officers from the UK's National Crime Agency (NCA) at the request of the German police, The Local reported. “The Briton stands accused of attempted computer sabotage in a particularly serious case,” German federal police and prosecutors said in a statement, adding that they will now seek the hacker’s extradition.

The usual litany. Please don't forget "9/11 was an inside job." Has it not occurred to you that the DHS has not commented on the accusations because they have not actually been made in the "real world?" Please find a video of an Indiana official holding a press conference to announce this "discovery." I'll wait.

You don't have to live in Russia to hack for them. You should know that.

I am surprised to see you here .Surely you have not gone through all of that un-edited material you were demanding yesterday ...

If that's the case, then simply presenting Russian IPs which is what was used ti implicate them is likewise not evidence they hacked anything either.

I must say I'm surprised it's not just fake news. Still no evidence it was the DHS. Red states are just sucking up to Trump.

Just like there was never any evidence that it was the Russians.
But this never prevented you to run like a headless chicken after those claims ...

This isn't fake news, and it isn't new news. The state of Georgia protested the hacks on their election system and wrote a letter to DOJ and DHS demanding answers.
If you dig a bit, you might find that there was no investigation (at a federal level)of the hacks by the Obama Administration, which was in charge when Georgia sent the letter demanding answers.
I wonder why they didn't check it out.

Technically a port scan is not an attempted hack. Just sayin...
