  1. Trump openly encouraged Russia to do this to his opponents. Don’t care at this point.

  2. I wonder if MAGA is going to call this a “hoax” like they did with Russian election interference?

  3. I wonder if this ties into why Trump went out of his way to praise Xi on the Rogan interview.

  4. Pretty clickbait headline. Not to take a partisan side, but the support they provide for this being factual is very little. This is the only sentence that seems to claim the hacking attempt was successful.

    >China hacked the devices of Donald Trump’s family ahead of the election, authorities believe.

    The rest of the article isn’t supportive of a successful hack on these specific individuals, merely claiming that members of Trump’s family were targeted, along with members of Harris’ campaign and Schumer’s office.

    >Sources told The New York Times that fewer than 100 individuals have been targeted in the sophisticated hacking operation, which broke into telecommunications company systems.

    >The list includes members of Kamala Harris’s campaign staff, as well as diplomatic, government and policy experts. An aide to Chuck Schumer, the Senate majority leader, was also targeted.

    >FBI investigators believe there is evidence that audio communications have been hacked, and that the group may have been able to access unencrypted text messages and call logs on certain devices, sources told the paper.

    >It is not known whether the Chinese hackers were able to read text messages, especially those sent through encrypted messaging services.

  5. The same phones they used to discuss classified information in violation of Federal Laws and regulations? Those same phones? Not surprised.

  6. China, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 communications that are missing, I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.

    Is that how it should be played Republicans?  Want a taste of your own medicine?

  7. Imagine getting hacked and finding out your whole search history is just Big Macs and Golf

  8. Imagine how seriously a Chinese eavesdropper must have screwed up to be given that assignment. Even if it was all done electronically with AI, eventually someone would have to read the report that was generated. They’d probably jump off a bridge or worse.

  9. A lot of agencies all over the world probably did. Fuckin’ idiot-ass dipshit family of child rapists refused to comply with any device security measures that presidents who can read tend to follow.

  10. This election is so different to 2020.

    Four years ago, you could count on Giuliani to drunk text the plans, no hacking required!

  11. EVERY foreign, Intel agency, whether ally or foe, will have.

    It would be spycraft malpractice, not to. Lolol

  12. “At 5:03 am you searched ‘CAN YOU STILL BE PRESIDENT AFTER 34 FELONIES’
    At 5:04 am you searched ‘DOES 34 FELONIES MEAN ALOT’
    At 5:06 am you searched ‘IS THERE A RULE ABOUT 34 FELONIES’
    At 5:08 am you searched “DONALD TRUMP RULE 34′

  13. Didn’t some citizen guess his password twice and gain access to his Twitter account?
