News stories about purported Russian hacking in the presidential
election continue to omit a very important fact. The Russian
government has arrested four of the hackers, including Col.Sergei
Mikhailov, and charged them with working for the CIA.
Thus if Russians did any election hacking it was with the
knowledge and consent of the CIA and President Barack
Obama. The knowledge received would have allowed
the Obama administration to prevent any action that could have
affected the outcome of the election. If the
president knew terrorists threatened to attack, he would assign
federal agents to protect those who might be attacked.
Wouldn't a president who thought foreign government hackers
threatened an organization assign government computer experts to
protect against the attack?
If the hackers tried to help Donald Trump win, it was because
someone in the Obama administration wanted Trump to win. It
seems unlikely the CIA would have tried to help Trump win
without Obama's approval. Incidentally with an FSB
colonel on the CIA's payroll it would have been easy to
have Russians meet with Trump's associates where the
meetings would be noticed. [The FSB is the successor to
the KGB.]
Why would Barack Obama want Donald Trump to win the election?
Perhaps Obama thought if Trump won, it might be possible to convince
Congress to change the Constitution to allow Obama to seek a third
term in 2020, particularly if Congress thought Trump was involved
with the Russians. That strategy wouldn't have been possible
if Hillary Clinton had won.
I doubt the claim that Russian hackers did anything that
affected the outcome of the election. even if they tried to do
so. However, if they did then any federal
investigation should ask what did the CIA and President Barack
Obama know, when did they know it and what did they do with the
knowledge? If CIA officials didn't tell Obama about the
Russians, why didn't they?
