1/ I remember being confused, disappointed and p.o.& #39;d when the Republicans hired Crowdstrike in 2017/2018. Seemed, stupid. But what I didn& #39;t realize at the time, and what with 20/20 hindsight is kind scary, is .... https://www.fec.gov/data/disbursements/?data_type=processed&committee_id=C00075820&recipient_name=crowdstrike&two_year_transaction_period=2018">https://www.fec.gov/data/disb...
2/ ... that the NRCC was hacked by a foreign entity, and that in addition to Crowdstrike ... "The NRCC brought on the prominent Washington law firm Covington & Burling as well as Mercury Public Affairs to oversee the response to the hack." https://www.politico.com/story/2018/12/04/exclusive-emails-of-top-nrcc-officials-stolen-in-major-2018-hack-1043309">https://www.politico.com/story/201...
Yeah, that Mercury Public Affairs ... http://www.opensecrets.org/fara/registrants/D000071638?cycle=2018">https://www.opensecrets.org/fara/regi...
Yeah, that Covington & Burling. https://justthenews.com/accountability/russia-and-ukraine-scandals/surprise-discovery-flynns-former-lawyers-find-6800">https://justthenews.com/accountab...
BTW, if you look at the FEC report in the first tweet in this thread, and compare it to the Politico article in the second tweet, you& #39;ll see that the NRCC hired Crowdstrike BEFORE it "suffered a major hack." Kinda like what happened to the DNC two years earlier ...
