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.

    Sure. Obama said worse when he campaigned. Trump did too. You can go back at least as far as Nixon and find openly anti-Semitic candidates being supported by AIPAC.

    Trump is anti-semitic? You have to be kidding me. You people have totally lost a grip on reality.

        Hitler was very antisemetic. He said economics was a sham science devised by the jews to scam everyone else. Then he devised his own crank version of economics that was pretty much the same thing as this "Modern Monetary Theory". It predictably led to the need for mass murder and world war:

          Do you have EVIDENCE of his being anti-semitic? In what way was he?

          The Nazional Enquirer wants to know.

            And what evidence would you find convincing? Trump may not be anti-semitic but he does a damn good job of playing one on TV.

      He's not. But he made a lot of antisemitic remarks. Which is exactly the point. Talk is cheap and politician's talk is borderline worthless. Especially when they're try to appeal to a tribal voter base that elects by association rather than platform.
