Excellent Diane Rehm show this morning. Her show ends next week, but I presume that they will keep her web site alive for the archived shows. If not, we will have to go to the wayback machine.

New Details Of A Russian-Backed Campaign To Interfere With U.S. Elections

Late last week, a CIA report suggested Russia intervened in U.S. elections to boost Donald Trump’s chances of winning. On Tuesday, a New York Times investigation supported that conclusion – and revealed new evidence that Russian hackers also targeted nearly a dozen congressional races. The investigation details a series of missed signals, slow responses and a mis-estimation of Russia’s ability to influence U.S. politics—by political leaders, the FBI and The White House. It also traces two decades worth of Russia’s attempts to tamper with America’s most sensitive computer networks. Diane and a panel discuss new details about Russia’s role in the 2016 race and its efforts to destabilize democracies around the world.

[One of the authors of the NYT story is on the air, as well as other commentators. It is mind boggling to me that the Obama admin knew about this for months and said nothing. Just mind boggling. Another example of going "high" means going stupid.]
