3. The FBI was warning the DNC....

Federal investigators tried to warn the Democratic National Committee about a potential intrusion in their computer network months before the party moved to try to fix the problem, U.S. officials briefed on the probe tell CNN.

The revelation raises questions about whether the DNC could have done more to limit the damage done by hackers suspected of working for Russian intelligence.

The DNC brought in consultants from the private security firm CrowdStrike in April. And by the time suspected Russian hackers were kicked out of the DNC network in June, the hackers had been inside for about a year.

So according to the DUmmies, if the FBI suspects a company server has been hacked, it is the FBIs responsibility to fix it?  I don't think the FBI is going to send someone in person to warn me that I have been hacked.

Who'd the DNC use to set up and maintain their server? The same idiot who set up The SHREW's? Pulling the @#$% plug and using gmail would have been more secure!
