DHS Statement On NBC News Fake News Of Election Hacking

12

And therein lies the rub. Social media platforms designate sites like mine as fake news or click bait and shut us down because we dissent from the authoritarianism advanced by the left. But hyper-partisan sites like NBC News, New York Times produce and promote fake news regularly and they enjoy widespread promotion on trending stories and followers newsfeeds. All Americans should be free to voice their opinions and news stories without the banning by leftist oppressors.

DHS Statement On NBC News Coverage Of Election Hacking

WASHINGTON – Today, Jeanette Manfra, National Protection and Programs Directorate (NPPD) Assistant Secretary for the Office of Cybersecurity and Communications, released the following statement regarding the recent NBC news coverage on the Department of Homeland Security’s efforts to combat election hacking.
“Recent NBC reporting has misrepresented facts and confused the public with regard to Department of Homeland Security and state and local government efforts to combat election hacking.  First off, let me be clear: we have no evidence – old or new – that any votes in the 2016 elections were manipulated by Russian hackers.  NBC News continues to falsely report my recent comments on attempted election hacking – which clearly mirror my testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee last summer – as some kind of “breaking news,” incorrectly claiming a shift in the administration’s position on cyber threats.  As I said eight months ago, a number of states were the target of Russian government cyber actors seeking vulnerabilities and access to U.S. election infrastructure. In the majority of cases, only preparatory activity like scanning was observed, while in a small number of cases, actors were able to access the system but we have no evidence votes were changed or otherwise impacted.
“NBC’s irresponsible reporting, which is being roundly criticized elsewhere in the media and by security experts alike, undermines the ability of the Department of Homeland Security, our partners at the Election Assistance Commission, and state and local officials across the nation to do our incredibly important jobs. While we’ll continue our part to educate NBC and others on the threat, more importantly, the Department of Homeland Security and our state and local partners will continue our mission to secure the nation’s election systems.  
“To our state and local partners in the election community: there’s no question we’re making real and meaningful progress together. States will do their part in how they responsibly manage and implement secure voting processes.  For our part, we’re going to continue to support with risk and vulnerability assessments, offer cyber hygiene scans, provide real-time threat intel feeds, issue security clearances to state officials, partner on incident response planning, and deliver cybersecurity training. The list goes on of how we’re leaning forward and helping our partners in the election community.  We will not stop, and will stand by our partners to protect our nation’s election infrastructure and ensure that all Americans can have confidence in our democratic elections.”

NBC has been lying for years. “The Today Show” has become so bad that I now watch reruns of “Have Gun Will Travel”
(Paladin) because he is so intelligent, intellectual as well as funny.

Those who advance the phony narrative about computer manipulation of vote totals in the election process only expose their ignorance and the fact they probably do not vote themselves in the first place. Even if such were attempted, it would instantly arouse suspicion and detection.

Given the millions of voting precincts in the 50 (NOT 57!) states, the plot is too far fetched. The biggest threat to my vote is its being neutralized by that of an illegal voter.

Trump should tell Mueller to close the unfounded investigation based on nothing and then fire him.
