The Russian intelligence agency behind the 2016 election cyberattacks targeted Sen. Claire McCaskill as she began her 2018 re-election campaign in earnest, a Daily Beast forensic analysis reveals. That makes the Missouri Democrat the first identified target of the Kremlin’s 2018 election interference.
McCaskill, who has been highly critical of Russia over the years, is widely considered to be among the most vulnerable Senate Democrats facing re-election this year as Republicans hope to hold their slim majority in the Senate. In 2016, President Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton by almost 20 points in the senator’s home state of Missouri.
There’s no evidence to suggest that this particular attack was successful. Asked about the hack attempt by Russia’s GRU intelligence agency, McCaskill told The Daily Beast on Thursday that she wasn’t yet prepared to discuss it.

Re: The 45th POTUS - Donald J. Trump
Not surprised at all. I have figured she would lose this race for years. She's actually a pretty good senator too, passing a lot of bipartisan legislation.McParadigm wrote:Daily BeastThe Russian intelligence agency behind the 2016 election cyberattacks targeted Sen.

Agreed. My point was that as usual Trump’s looking for positive press and adulation for doing/endorsing something that everyone else has known for a long while to be good policy.4/5 wrote:Indeed.

Cohen claims Trump knew about the Tower meeting, signed off on it, and looked forward to getting dirt on HC

Jesus, Giuliani is crumbling on CNN right now. What a horrible idea it was to bring him in. Trump must be livid watching this pathetic performance.

Re: The 45th POTUS - Donald J. Trump
Seems the defense here is that’s Cohen’s lying, he has a credibility problem. If he taped the meeting where Trump was debriefed on the Trump Tower/Russian meeting, Trump’s in deep shit real quick.

The further story is that Giuliani is the leaker.

wall street journal wrote:Backing up his points, Mr. Juncker flipped through more than a dozen colorful cue cards with simplified explainers, the senior EU official said. Each card had at most three figures about a specific topic, such as trade in cars or standards for medical devices.
“We knew this wasn’t an academic seminar,” the EU official said. “It had to be very simple.”

well worth listening to. About Trump. Can a president pardon himself?
