I'm not a Trump supporter and I'm not arguing in bad faith. The facts are two states have already called bullshit and DHS is refusing to provide any evidence or analysis to congress or anyone else -
And last month there was a big fake news fiasco with NBC quoting the DHS head of cybersecurity, Jeanette Manfra, saying a small number of states were successfully penetrated and DHS claiming they were misquoted and that no states were hacked.
It's all a retarded fucking joke.

DHS faced heavy criticism from Capitol Hill Democrats over its initial refusal to tell Congress which states the Russians targeted.
And even after the agency disclosed last June that Russian hackers had probed 21 states as part of the campaign, DHS still withheld the names of those states or any details about the digital assaults. Eventually, in September, DHS notified the 21 states that had been targeted, reading each state a generic script.
But that script is the only document that DHS has provided Congress about the incidents, Oversight Democrats said Monday.
“Despite repeated requests over the past several months, the department has refused to provide the Oversight Committee with this information, and to the best of our knowledge, has not provided it to any congressional committee,” reads the letter to Gowdy. “We have been extremely patient, but we can no longer allow the Trump administration to defy our requests and withhold this critical information from Congress.”

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is denying the accuracy of an NBC News report that alleged Russia breached voter sites or registration systems in seven U.S. states prior to the 2016 election.
“NBC’s reporting tonight on the 2016 elections is not accurate and is actively undermining efforts of the Department of Homeland Security to work in close partnership with state and local governments to protect the nation’s election systems from foreign actors," DHS acting press secretary Tyler Q. Houlton said in a statement.
"We have no intelligence – new or old – that corroborates NBC’s reporting that state systems in seven states were compromised by Russian government actors. We believe tonight’s story to be factually inaccurate and misleading."
his is not the first NBC News report on possible Russian hacking that has drawn fire from DHS. Earlier this month, the agency pushed back against a report from the news outlet that claimed Russian hackers had "successfully penetrated" U.S. voter systems before the election.
That article drew on an interview with Jeanette Manfra, the department’s chief cybersecurity official. Manfra later issued a statement in response to the report, claiming NBC "misrepresented facts and confused the public with regard to Department of Homeland Security and state and local government efforts to combat election hacking."
