If Sam Ervin were alive today, he could say exactly what he said in 1973 at the outset of the televised Watergate hearings:
“If the many allegations made to this date are true, then the burglars who broke into the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee
at the Watergatewere in effect breaking into the home of every citizen of the United States. And if these allegations prove to be true, what they were seeking to steal was not the jewels, money or other precious property of American citizens, but something much more valuable — their most precious heritage: the right to vote in a free election.”
Just because the Russians did this using the internet instead of by picking locks doesn’t make it the slightest bit different.
