I see Matt Drudge is now accusing the feds of launching a denial of service attack on his website.
I normally click around a handful of sites to view headlines, and last night the Drudge site was down for awhile. Never even gave it a second thought at the time.

In October 2014 the White House was shut down by hackers for several weeks. Only a few media outlets published the story at the time. But as the date indicates this was the blackout period right before midterm elections and any hint of incompetence by the Obama Administration would reflect poorly to the public, an act strictly verboten by the U.S. Dept. of Media Elites.
The White House itself did not even realize they were being attacked. Only through an outside tip (I'm guessing Israel) were they alerted of the attack.
Only when the election was safely over did news outlets like CNN report the story (“How the U.S. thinks Russians hacked the White House”). Throughout, the Obama administration minimized the story, claiming that no harm was done and only unclassified material was accessed–an excuse that, as CNN wrote post-election, “belies the seriousness of the intrusion.”
Now, the same news outlets that refused to cover the Russian government’s hacking into White House and State Department computers and email systems try to tell us that an intrusion into John Podesta’s email accounts is a story of world-historical importance.
