Then, again, it would depend on who's in charge of the FBI.

with what remains of Team Trump. At least he put white supremacists/nationalists back onto the list of threats.

there are countless situations like this going on right now, enough that the country simply has stopped giving a shit.

As to this particular issue, the calvary is NOT going to save the day on this.

EVERY Dem entity involved in the election process has to know that this IS going to occur if at all possible this November and has to figure out a way to counter it.

The DNC and campaigns have to protect phone numbers, use systems that isolate use, etc.

The answer is "Yes, when Trump/Trumpistas do it. It's not illegal."

that Trump would get elected. That would mean instead of being investigated now they would be investigated, charged, and convicted in 2021.

Trump and the Republicans are operating under the mistaken belief that they will never, ever lose again. Hubris before the fall.

that russian ship that has been cruising up and down the coast for the past year. I can imagine all kinds of telecom problems from that little remote entity. Especially when everybody gets going in SC for instance which is, as I can see it, vulnerable.

PAPER BALLOTS EVERYONE!!
