So, it will be possible to prove a few more high ranking people know about it....if it ever happens again.

 

It also doesn’t seem like a high hurdle to clear, so I doubt it changing anything. What are the odds Comey and Lynch would not have signed off on it?

Considering the last time both the Director and acting AG signed off on multiple warrants/renewals, it's not really a change.

NYT: Russians Hacked Ukrainian Gas Company at Center of Impeachment

 

Quote

It is not yet clear what the hackers found, or precisely what they were searching for. But the experts say the timing and scale of the attacks suggest that the Russians could be searching for potentially embarrassing material on the Bidens — the same kind of information that Mr. Trump wanted from Ukraine when he pressed for an investigation of the Bidens and Burisma, setting off a chain of events that led to his impeachment.

The Russian tactics are strikingly similar to what American intelligence agencies say was Russia’s hacking of emails from Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman and the Democratic National Committee during the 2016 presidential campaign. In that case, once they had the emails, the Russians used trolls to spread and spin the material, and built an echo chamber to widen its effect.

Then, as now, the Russian hackers from a military intelligence unit known formerly as the G.R.U., and to private researchers by the alias “Fancy Bear,” used so-called phishing emails that appear designed to steal usernames and passwords, according to Area 1, the Silicon Valley security firm that detected the hacking. In this instance, the hackers set up fake websites that mimicked sign-in pages of Burisma subsidiaries, and have been blasting Burisma employees with emails meant to look like they are coming from inside the company.

 

Zero points for creativity.

Makin’ changes.  All good!

Let’s put the past behind us and welcome a new era where we don’t break the rules in order to spy on each other.

The only way they should be allowed to contribute anything would be if they were strapped to chairs while people  throw rotten produce at them, hissing and sneering.
