The FBI failed to notify scores of U.S. officials that Russian hackers were trying to break into their personal Gmail accounts despite having evidence for at least a year that the targets were in the Kremlin’s crosshairs, The Associated Press has found. ........... Nearly 80 interviews with Americans targeted by Fancy Bear, a Russian government-aligned cyberespionage group, turned up only two cases in which the FBI had provided a heads-up. Even senior policymakers discovered they were targets only when the AP told them, a situation some described as bizarre and dispiriting. .......... https://www.apnews.com/f1a5570b7ce04d39bab00ae3a9041460/FBI-didn%27t-tell-US-targets-as-Russian-hackers-hunted-emails ........... Why would Obama's FBI/DNI keep something that important quite ??

Incompetence?And to think, a majority of presidential voters voted for that incompetence.

Incompetence?
Or wanting it to happen. To further their own agenda?

Either that or covering it up for some reason?

It can't be incompetence. It was done for a purpose.

The FBI covered up a lot but in defense of them, the Democratic party had power over them for too long of a period that in order to keep their job, sacrifices of their integrity in order to get paid was the price many of them had to do to survive. Is this right, no but what would any of else of us do if we were in their situation?
