That was the FBI at the door?
U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., didn’t get a fond farewell when she left as head of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) last summer. Now she is virtually calling former Obama administration Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson and former DNC vice chairwoman Donna Brazile liars for saying federal officials contacted the party about the Russian hacking of their internet servers last year.
“He’s wrong in every respect,” she said of Johnson. “At no point during my tenure at the DNC was I contacted by the FBI, DHS, or any government agency or alerted or made aware that they believed that the Russians [were] intruding on our network.”
Johnson, testifying under oath, told the House Intelligence Committee last week the DNC refused Homeland Security’s help with the hacking and would not turn over their hacked servers.
“Respectfully, Secretary Johnson is utterly misinformed,” Wasserman Schultz said on CNN. “The FBI and other federal agencies did virtually nothing to sound the alarm bells.”
