If it’s “Russia” why are they investigating if the execs were in on it?
For the fifth year in a row, careless and untrained insiders are the leading source of security threats for public sector organizations”

SolarWinds follow up. Very good tweet explaining what happened.
Basically what this means is that SolarWinds itself was exploited. Someone posted an infected update as legitimate (digitally signed), leading customers to download a bad update.
“Multiple trojanized updates were digitally signed from March - May 2020 and posted to the SolarWinds updates website” https://t.co/8e3bMFWXYu
FireEye then explains that infected organizations were approached and exploited. This is a separate Step 2.
At this point, information is already going to “malicious domains” without extra intervention, after the malware does nothing for “up to two weeks”
Hackers reportedly slipped malware into prior SolarWinds software updates, which gave them access to a "God-mode" for infected networks, including the Treasury and Commerce departments.

It’s amazing how the President actually gets his enemies to do the work of burying themselves.
In this audio, which of course the President knew was being taped (after years of leaks), the President gets the Georgia Secretary of State to own the faulty data. Raffensperger cannot claim he made a mistake.
It’s a sting. “Shredded ballots” and “took out machines” - “do you know anything about that? ‘Cause that’s illegal, right?”
How can the fake news claim that this audio is false? The answer is that they can’t. It comes from one of their own, The Washington Post.
Ryan Germany, General Counsel for Georgia’s Secretary of State, jumps in. “No, Dominion has not moved any machinery out of Fulton County.”
“But have they moved the inner parts?”
“Are you sure, Ryan?”
This is what a deranged mobster sounds like.#LockHimUp

POTUS calling out the Justice Department as corrupt.
To be clear, I would distinguish between regular employees of the Justice Department and the decisions made officially. It's important to do this.
It is also worth noting that "federal agents can be sued for putting Muslim men on the no-fly list in alleged retaliation for their refusal to cooperate with counterterrorism
"The decision, a rare expansion of personal liability for law-enforcement misconduct, was one of four unanimous rulings the court issued Thursday"
"The court also found that there is no statute of limitations on when rape charges can be filed in the armed services"
IF Biden gets in, nothing will happen to Hunter or Joe. Barr will do nothing, and the new group of partisan killers coming in will quickly kill it all. Same thing with Durham. We caught them cold, spying, treason & more (the hard part), but \u201cJustice\u201d took too long. Will be DOA!

The Bible portion this week is called “Miketz,” which literally means “from the end of.”
Genesis 41:1-44:17
Supplemental: I Kings 3:15 - 4:1
https://t.co/RF4A7OU6aa
Why would a Bible portion be named “from the end of?”
Because really what it means is “from the end, beginning”
or “the beginning of the end”
Or “the light at the end of the tunnel” (think about the tunnels and how literal that

There is some valuable analysis in this report, but on the defense front this report is deeply flawed. There are other sections of value in report but, candidly, I don't think it helps us think through critical question of Taiwan defense issues in clear & well-grounded way. 1/
Normally as it might seem churlish to be so critical, but @cfr is so high-profile & the co-authors so distinguished I think it’s key to be clear. If not, people - including in Beijing - could get the wrong idea & this report could do real harm if influential on defense issues. 2/
BLUF: The defense discussion in this report does not engage at the depth needed to add to this critical debate. Accordingly conclusions in report are ill-founded - & in key parts harmful/misleading, esp that US shldnt be prepared defend Taiwan directly (alongside own efforts). 3/
The root of the problem is that report doesn't engage w the real debate on TWN defense issues or, frankly, the facts as knowable in public. Perhaps the most direct proof of this: The citations. There is nothing in the citations to @DeptofDefense China Military Power Report...4/
Nor to vast majority of leading informed sources on this like Ochmanek, the @RANDCorporation Scorecard, @CNAS, etc. This is esp salient b/c co-authors by their own admission have v little insight into contemporary military issues. & both last served in govt in Bush 43. 5/
This is an excellent report, and I'm glad to have joined the study group. The central focus on avoiding war is understandable--a US-China war would be catastrophic and should be avoided. But protecting Taiwan's security and prosperity requires doing more. 1/x https://t.co/P0Sg4LJcpV
