The House IT Scandal

Russian meddling? Campaign collusion? Forget that. That “did they or didn’t they” story has nothing on the ongoing saga of cybersecurity breaches with the possible involvement of a foreign government taking place in the House of Representatives.

The story has all the features of a political spy novel: stolen servers, access to confidential congressional files, claims of “controlling the White House” and $12,000 in a suitcase.

Compared to the rampant speculation over yet-unproven claims of Russian collusion in the Trump campaign, the events in the House have received minimal attention from the mainstream press (the exception is the impressive level of coverage from the Daily Caller News Foundation). Even President Trump has raised public questions about the issue, tweeting about it as recently as April 20.

And no one is doing a damned thing about it.   MANY dirty hands I suppose.

Nonsense! How dare you besmirch our fine representatives in Congress?

Not that you're wrong.

Thanks, @Wingnut!   :beer:

I took three days off for vacation...and ended up having to take a couple of weeks' sick time from whatever nasty bug I picked up.  I'm still dealing with the bronchitis and tight chest as I try to play catch-up on my work.  Bad time for a geologist to be out, as it's prime field time and things that were on hold for winter are breaking out.

It's kind of intimidating coming back and realizing I've got lots of catch-up to do here, too!

 :silly:

Are you kidding?
I started to try to catch up, but forget it!  I'll be lucky keeping up from this point forward.

In any case, thanks for the well-wishes.  I'm tryin'...  :laugh:
