BTW according to Malcolm Nance the hackers (who are in Russia I think) could not have

BTW this was after and or when Trump fired 2 people who in charge of our Cyber Security.
Did Trump do that in order to pay off some of the money he owes Russia or was he paid?

ONE shutdown is killing an entire region.

THIS needs to be added to our infrastructure bill.
