The new Cabinet litmus test: Admitting Russia hacked the U.S.

Senators of both parties are preparing to employ a new litmus test for President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet nominees: making them acknowledge Russia’s alleged election-year cyberattacks.

“We want to hear — I want to hear — from the incoming administration’s nominees that they’re going to take this threat seriously,” Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, told reporters in advance of the avalanche of confirmation hearings that kicks off Tuesday.

Trump's chief of staff says Trump accepts a Russian role in the hacking.

This all happened entirely on Obama's watch and anyone who resists investigating it just looks guilty.

The only thing that Russia appears to have succeeded in hacking is the DNC.  Not the same thing as hacking the US, or the election, or any of the other MSM memes.  Doesn't mean they didn't try, but election was not hacked.

Anybody who supported the candidate who had an illegal server in her bathroom can sit down and shut up, as far as I'm concerned, when it comes to internet security issues.

Sounds like a good opportunity for nominees to clear the record as to what likely actually happened.

Plus maybe even work in some reminders about what was contained within those 'hacked' emails.
