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?

@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? -
I don't believe it is same. I do believe it is interference w/election. I do believe we've done very similar w/non democracies
-
And that's setting aside all the data that shows CIA intervened more than RU during Cold War.

@emptywheel if you call what the NSA does hacking, then yes. -
You do know NSA has entire department dedicated to actual hacking? Which targeted EPN during close election? Collected texts?
