#2 If there were no other reason to 'give pause' regarding the author's conclusion, this Cong. Mike Rogers' endorsement (found in the 'About the author' link) would be entirely sufficient.

ENDORSEMENTS
"Paul was a tremendous resource for the House Intelligence Committee as we crafted our Cyber legislation, and his expertise shows through in this excellent book. His book clearly describes the tangled web of technical, legal, and policy issues that complicate our nation's response to the daunting, advanced cyber threats we face today. It will serve as a vital resource for anyone trying to understand this critical issue."
~ Representative Mike Rogers, Michigan's 8th District

#3 So they trolled a few websites and organized a rally or two while pretending not to be Russians. Big fucking deal. It's not like they bombed our capitol and provided arms to a rebel uprising. It's not like they did anything that our own government hasn't done in other countries. And where were the countermeasures, Baraq? Huh? Why doesn't Mueller file an indictment against somebody who won't laugh at him from a foreign country where there is zero chance they will ever be extradited? Upended Washington, did he? We're paying him for this?
If this is the best he can do he needs to pack it up and go home.

#4 As they used to say around the high school locker room, he needs to hang up his jock strap.

#6 And they managed to shift election at the expenditure of 100,000$ - how'd Soviet Union ever lost?

#7 Influenced the American election by using false personas to organize rallies for Trump, criticizing Muslims and spreading allegations of voter fraud by candidate Clinton

1. Mueller couldn't find any Trump/Russian collusion.
2. Mueller's still trying to clean the country of islamaphobia as he did in the FBI.
3. They had to justify the millions spent and more than a year's effort.
4. They are still trying to exonerate Hillary of wrongdoing. Keeping the options open for a 2020 Hillary run?
5. Provided a really good example of a "Red Herring."

#8 National Security Council – Summer 2016

#9 NSC, 2016. There's a malevolent brain trust. The ~~Russians~~ leftists/communists have been trying to interfere in our affairs as far back as I can remember and probably before that.

Why didn't this NSC braintrust do something about it in 2014, 2015 or 2016 under Hussein?
