Former Clinton campaign manager compares DNC hack to Watergate

By Louis Nelson

Hillary Clinton’s former campaign manager wants America to take cybercrimes more seriously, writing in The New York Times that the effects of such crimes can be devastating and likening the hacking attacks against the Democratic National Committee to the Watergate scandal that forced former President Richard Nixon to resign.

Robby Mook, who managed Clinton’s campaign from its launch to its surprising Election Night defeat, can speak with firsthand experience to the damage that cyberattacks can do. The former secretary of state’s presidential campaign was dogged by cyberattacks that have been traced back to the Russian government, hacking efforts that leaking thousands of emails from the Democratic National Committee and other prominent party members.

Exactly!  If you don't want your dirty underwear see in public, don't hang it outside to dry! :silly:

OK then, he should get right to work on forcing Putin to resign.

Its hilarious that after all the scandals they've committed and laws they've broken over the past thirty years democrats still believe Watergate is the scandal gold standard.

In case there is anyone who doesn't see it, this is part of a coordinated campaign through John Podesta's Center for American Progress as well as other links in the leftist "shadow government" chain, to delegitimize the new President before he even takes office. The primary object is to provide cover for Democrats in Congress to obstruct Trump's agenda and oppose his Cabinet and judicial nominees.

Another obvious element of this effort is a somewhat hysterical exaggeration of Russia's (undeniable) attempts to influence the American election, as though they were crucial to the outcome. Naturally, the mainstream news media are eagerly collaborating with their fellow Democrats in all of this.

Who knows what they actually believe, @skeeter, but they sure flog this dead horse regularly. It has been established in the national memory as the gold standard of government officials acting badly.

Or the singular example of democrats successfully reversing the results of a national election.
