DHS pushes back on NBC, 'no evidence' Russians 'manipulated' elections

Via Billy


“Looks like a pretty clear case of NBC News letting its interest in furthering its anti-Trump agenda get ahead of the facts.

The Department of Homeland Security made the rare move Monday to officially discredit an NBC News report that claimed a top Trump official found that “Russians successfully penetrated the voter registration rolls of several U.S. states prior to the 2016 presidential election.”

In a statement, DHS said the “breaking news” report was not only wrong and hyped but is also being ripped by other media.

  1. WHAT! There might be a very tiny media bias, in a news story. Even if the story is FAKE. I'm Shocked!

  2. yes Russians did penetrate several voter roles, after many unsuccessful tries. they were not trying to "influence" any votes, they were after the name, age, address and partial SSN of potential identity theft victums. it is the media that is misinterperating the motives of the hackers.
