In Illinois, the Russians appeared to be rummaging for sensitive information on voters. Hackers gained access to the state's voter database, which contained information such as the names, birthdates, driver's licenses, and partial Social Security numbers of 15 million people, according to Bloomberg.

And according to a top-secret National Security Agency document leaked to the Intercept and published earlier this month, hackers associated with Russia's military intelligence agency targeted a company with information on US voting software days before the election and used the data to launch "voter-registration-themed" cyberattacks on local government officials.

He was what credibility?

The FBI and others know several months before he knows?


What was he doing? Collecting a paycheck with black privilege?
