EXCLUSIVE: IG Investigating Obama Admin Cyber Attacks On Georgia Election System
"Feds have launched an investigation into why the Department of Homeland Security hacked into the Georgia state governmental network, including its election system...
John Roth, inspector general for DHS, wants to know why the agency broke protocol on its way to 10 unprecedented attacks on the system overseen by Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp — who is also one of the most vocal critics about the Obama administration’s attempt to designate local and state election machinery as part of federal “critical infrastructure.
A Jan. 17 letter from Roth notified Kemp his office was officially “investigating a series of ten alleged scanning events of the Georgia Secretary of State’s network that may have originated from DHS-affiliated IP addresses.” A firewall in Georgia’s system thwarted each attempt.
Former DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson and Kemp have clashed over a federal government designation of election systems as “critical infrastructure.” Kemp called it “political power play to federalize elections.”
It seems like the Obama administration sought to hack the Georgia election system in an attempt to embarrass Ga Secretary of State Brian Kemp, their biggest critic of a federal govt take-over of US elections, and prove the federal govt needed to do just that by showing the US election system was vulnerable to hacking. If the hacking was successful it would have been the basis for the argument of how the US elections systems needed to be listed as 'critical infrastructure', placing it (all state elections) under federal government control.
Not only did their plan FAIL, as the Ga system's firewall BLOCKED all 10 hacking attempts by the Obama administration, but now their - the Obama administration's - efforts have been exposed!
It was Barry's (illegal) attempt to extend the federal government's control over states / citizens.
(Thank you Georgia Elections System's firewall!)
