Given that NSA/CIA hacked Mexico's election in 2012, and Mexico is a US ally, does that mean NSA and CIA must be sanctioned now?
if one was inventing stuff, sure. If one wasn't, then, no, it would not be a clear takeaway. Did you read new EO language?

@emptywheel from your original tweet, calling what NSA did a hack, seemed to equivocate the two. Not trying to do a “gotcha” -
Was what the NSA did a hack? Of a candidate in a close election?

@emptywheel key line from E) for me was this: “such activities to undermine democratic processes.” -
A claim I was NOT making in my tweet--one you had to have imposed--was that NSA leaked texts it hacked from EPN.
-
But I'd say targeting EPN or Pakistan's People's Party is undermining election processes or institutions.

.
@emptywheel if it as selectively leaked, sure. but i don’t see how that kind of collection on its own undermines processes. -
What if it was used to blackmail EPN to ditch key campaign promises? Is that democratic? How are they using this info?
-
.
@emptywheel i don’t know how they are using the info. But if you go to the original q: do you believe it is the same as what Russia did? - 2 more replies
