Trump advisor: Russian hacking of electric grid ‘a very big deal’
Former CIA Director James Woolsey doesn’t think Trump should ignore this one.
Click here for reuse options!Former CIA director and senior advisor to Donald Trump, Jim Woolsey thinks that the president-elect will change his tune after a Vermont electric company was found to have been hacked by Russian hackers.
Woolsey confessed that he doesn’t know what’s behind Trump’s decision to ignore intelligence reports tying Russia to cyber attacks in the United States…
Woolsey doesn’t think Trump will question the “troubling” Vermont hack the way that he has of the election hack.
“I’ve been studying and working on this issue for 10 or 12 years now,” Woolsey explained. “I don’t think the same kind of questioning is going to come up because of the nature of the hardware or software that they have found. That is extremely dangerous. The Russians have hacked successfully into Ukraine and Georgia’s electric grid. This is some of the same software and hardware that they used in those hackings. The grid isn’t just a matter of convenience. It’s a front on which one can conduct a symmetric warfare and the Russians like that and they are doing it. That means if you take down the electricity part of the infrastructure, you have taken down water purification, food deliveries and so on. This is a very big deal and ought to be treated as such.”

Trump’s advisor may think it is a big thing, but that means squat if Trump doesn’t act upon it

The Maggot will just tweet “move on”…he’s too stupid and too loyal to his boyfriend Putin. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/ec4cf97abcbf5274398e587e684ce342ffc112edc411f92981b4e2a02546643a.jpg

He is not loyal to Putin.
He’s loyal to the people who loaned him money and if he does not play nice, they might call his notes.
THAT is what makes having him where he is.
That makes him the most stupid and dangerous human on the planet.

Trump won’t take action on anything pertaining to Putin.It is obvious by his dismissive flippant attitude concerning Russia hacking our elections that he is in bed with Russia.The pieces of the puzzle fit just right,and his paper trail of business dealings,that he once denied,go back for decades.Good possibility Putin has some real dirt on him and his family,enough to keep him compliant.This election should be declared void,and a national emergency declared.It is that damn serious.It has nothing at this point to do with partisan politics,and everything to do with the welfare of the nation.Our nation has been sold out by a traitor and a power mad GOP,who care more about ruling as a plutocratic dictatorship than they care about the welfare of the people.Even trumps sheep will soon be in for the rude awakening we warned them of months ago.
