Russian hackers probed election systems in all 50 states, a new Senate report confirmed Thursday.
The report comes one day after former special counsel Robert Mueller told Congress that the Russian government is working to meddle in U.S. elections "as we sit here."
"It wasn't a single attempt," Mueller said Wednesday of Russia's 2016 election interference. "They're doing it as we sit here. And they expect to do it during the next campaign."
The bipartisan report by the Senate Intelligence Committee released Thursday confirmed previous comments by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that Russian hackers scanned election systems in all 50 states ahead of the 2016 presidential election. DHS initially acknowledged Russian attempts to hack into election systems in just 21 states.

Yeah, but it's all about the narrative of 1) slandering Donald Trump's claim to the presidency and 2) prevent any closer cooperation that may conflict with the wishes of other interested parties.

The Russians threw off their parasitical leftists when communism collapsed. Needless to say our own virtue signalling subversives are a little pissed off at the motherland for not only no longer supporting their work against the USA but occasionally buddying up with Trump.
CNN and the other human debris have the behavior of a jilted jealous woman after she gets dumped.
In the 60s its all "I love you and you're perfect and we'll be together forever and its only coincidence I want your throbbing hard bulging wallet of KGB money and support."
After they get dumped in the early 90s its a constant stream of vitrol "I hate you and I want to file retroactive domestic violence and rape charges and ignore anything I ever said about us being besties"
In the 60s our local subversives were pimping bottles of "Che Guevara bath water" to thirsty morons so the Russians paid them quite a commission of help and assistance and moral support; after the fall of communism the money spigot dried up and our local subversives aggressively talk shit about their old boss.
If the Russians were dumb enough to elect Obama or Hillary or that freaky clown from Canada, our local subversives would be right back to Russia worship as if the breakup never happened.

What the hell are you talking about??? When was the KGB ever in the habit of handing out oodles of cash to their fan base? And what is this about "Che Guevera bath water"? I tried looking this one up on google. The only hits I got said that he apparently was not overly fond of bathing. Are you talking out of your ass again? Have you been taking your medication? Enquiring minds want to know.
