A sign that Mueller failed

Former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton called for a “new national commission” to investigate Russian meddling in the 2016 election to prevent future cyberattacks.
“We need a national commission to look into what actually really did happen and what could happen in order to protect our elections,” Clinton said Thursday while addressing a crowd at Rutgers University’s Eagleton Institute of Politics.
She also called on “every state to do everything it can” to get to the bottom of what happened within their own elections and prevent hackers from accessing their voting systems in the future.
The Department of Homeland Security notified 21 states, including key battleground states Wisconsin and Virginia, last September that they have found evidence that Russian entities have attempted to hack their voting systems.
Clinton heralded Virginia as a example of a state that has reassessed its vulnerability to hacking as it has turned back to a paper ballot system.
“I worry we don’t know what we don’t know, my friends,” she said. “And you know when they say the Russians got into 21 states and their voter registration files but nothing changed … I’m sitting there thinking, ‘Well, how do we know?’”
The former secretary of state also claimed that states are too embarrassed to admit they were susceptible to Russian interference and said the federal government appears to “care less” because the administration believes the meddling benefited the Trump campaign.
Speaking from her own experience in the State Department, Clinton warned that Russian President Vladimir Putin is not trustworthy and claimed U.S. officials should not rely on his administration to help in their investigation.
As part of the ongoing investigation into Russian interference, special counsel Robert Mueller indicted 13 Russian nationals and three Russian entities last month for meddling in the 2016 election that Clinton lost.

Actually it's her saying that Trump has failed to get serious about Russian (or others) meddling in our elections and how could you blame her? Trump doesn't seem to care much about combatting the problem and November is fast approaching. Trump would rather have a hokey investigation into the mysterious millions who voted illegally [eyeroll] in the last election instead of shoring up the states whose election systems got hacked in the last election (a real problem). Good for her for speaking out, someone needs to.
From article:
Hillary: “And you know when they say the Russians got into 21 states and their voter registration files but nothing changed … I’m sitting there thinking, ‘Well, how do we know?”
Ans: Because you lost, get over it!
Maybe there’s a reason Trump’s “vital” and “urgent” voter fraud commission was disbanded — well, other than incompetence
What in the world does that have to do with Mueller?
Hillary is saying that we need to look into these hacks into voter registration and see if they did happen and how to prevent them in the future.
Mueller is investigating collusion between Trump's campaign and the Russians.
It isn't his purview to look into making sure voter registration can't be hacked in the future.
You're seeing things that aren't there.
And then there's the fact that you suddenly find Clinton credible.
Good stuff.
I know it's hard to tell these days with THE going full nutbag, but I think this was a joke.
Obviously went right over my head if that's the case. However it does seem consistent with other posts.
Maybe she is but she's on the right track on this subject. Your boy needs to step up and do something.
Dear moron. She is the one who wont let go. Every time she runs her kuntmucher I am going to mock her.
