The same CIA which is now responsible, along with the Hollywood Jews, of dividing the country through constant Trump bashing in the MSM. Is now concluding that Russia interfered with the American election without offering any proof of it. Read it here

Georgia Says Someone in U.S. Government Tried to Hack State’s Computers Housing Voter Data
Unsuccessful intrusion came on Nov. 15 apparently via Department of Homeland Security IP address
Georgians
vote during the 2016 elections on Nov. 8. The state on Thursday asked
the Department of Homeland Security to explain what appears to be an
attempted breach of its voter registration database by someone in the
federal government.
The
secretary of state of Georgia is asking the Department of Homeland
Security to explain what appears to be an attempted breach of the
state’s computer systems that house its voter registration database by
someone in the federal government.
In
a letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary
Jeh Johnson
dated Thursday, Georgia’s Secretary of State Brian Kemp
said the state had discovered an unsuccessful attempt to breach the
firewall of state computer systems. The attempt occurred on Nov. 15 and
was linked to an IP address associated with DHS, he said.
“We
are looking into the matter. DHS takes the trust of our public and
private sector partners seriously, and we will respond to Secretary Kemp
directly,” a spokeswoman for DHS said.
“At
no time has my office agreed to or permitted DHS to conduct penetration
testing or security scans of our network,” wrote Mr. Kemp, a
Republican. “Moreover, your department has not contacted my office since
this unsuccessful incident to alert us of any security event that would
require testing or scanning of our network.”
The
alleged attempted intrusion by the federal government on a state
computer system responsible for election security was detected by a
third-party security firm working for the state of Georgia. The attempt
was unsuccessful, according to the state. The computers also house
information about company incorporations.
In
his letter, Mr. Kemp asked the department to confirm whether a scan
attempt was made, who authorized the scan and whether the department was
scanning other state systems without authorization.
The
Department of Homeland Security made a major push in advance of
November’s elections to help states secure election systems against
possible hacking, as fears of foreign interference in the U.S. election
process reached a fever pitch in the months leading up to Election Day.
The
department also considered declaring election systems “critical
infrastructure,” which would have given the federal government
additional authority to protect the systems. DHS didn’t take that step,
however, as many states expressed concern about additional federal
authority over their election systems and said the constitution provided
states the right to run their own elections.
As
a result of some of the concerns, the department clarified that
assistance on election-related security matters was voluntary and
encouraged states to take advantage of DHS resources and expertise to
help secure state election systems.
“DHS
assistance is strictly voluntary and does not entail regulation,
binding directives, and is not offered to supersede state and local
control over the process,” Mr. Johnson, the DHS chief, said in
September.
Georgia
was one of the states that had declined the federal government’s
assistance for election security, citing state sovereignty. “Right now,
we’re just demanding answers,” said
David Dove,
a top aide to the Georgia secretary of state. “My boss, Secretary Kemp,
has been a very vocal critic of the Department of Homeland Security
declaring election systems critical infrastructure.”
