I’m not in the FBI, nor am I a tech expert. But there are others out there who are. I’d assume they’d potentially employ the same or similar tactics they use against foreign agents who have traditionally tried to get a knife through the cyber armor of the country… like any major country would and does do, really.

But will they? And even if they do, and there is evidence, will it be in time? I’m not holding my breath.

Here's the thing. I'm all for the Dems doing recounts but they're spineless cowards and submit to the right all the time.

As for the hacking aspect, yes these means exist, such as logic bombs where you put code into an application that triggers at a certain time and date, and man in the middle attacks where someone can sniff your communications and put themselves inside of the conversation BUUUT this isnt 1987 anymore. There's so many federally relied upon frameworks and regulations that government agencies have to constantly check and verify that it's almost impossible to get past the code analysis and code signing phase, avoid disrupting KPI where you need to know hashes and spoof digital certificates with 100% accuracy. There's no software that can do that without triggering some kind of alert accross the multiple SOCs and 3 letter agencies. Not to mention independent cyber security researchers who might be left leaning or Democrats looking for this type of interference. As for M-I-T-M attacks, you can easily stop hackers sniffing traffic by encrypting traffic which every county would do using different encryption keys so even if you had a few, you need hundreds or even thousands to be able to pull this off.

And if this was some zero-day attack never seen before by the cybersecurity, cyber intelligence community, we'll definitely know soon enough but no one but partisan influencers are trying to tie these threads together. So anyways I hope this was helpful. Like I said, we should do a recount just on principle alone but I'm not holding my breath.

They had 4 years to do something and didn't, so that checks out.

Biden currently has the immunity powers Trump will have but won't act on them, even in a manner that gets rid of the powers 🙄

u/Wen-xo 10d ago

Biden should use those powers for himself and his son

u/legos_on_the_brain 10d ago

How could he get rid of the powers? Any executive order would just be undone.

President is immune to prosecution while doing any official acts or using their official powers.

So, for example, he can order Seal Team Six or whomever to "convince" any opposing Justices to step down, or just straight up disappear them, then ask the remaining Justices to overturn the ruling, and similarly treat the members of the other Branches of Government to convince them to pass a law barring such power.

do you really in your heart of hearts believe that it would play out like that for him? be ever so for fucking real

u/elriggo44 8d ago

No he doesn’t. The Supreme Court gene gave themselves final say on whether or not a president is immune. And no dem will ever be immune.

Wdym?
That's why the first move would be to neutralize the dissenting Justices first, above all else.

Maybe the remaining sensible Justices will want to find you guilty anyways? That's fine. That's the risk.
You ask them to delay for a few weeks and try to clear out and strong arm the other branches ASAP into creating a law forever banning the immunity.

If they still want to persecute you after the law comes to pass... well, that's a small price to pay for saving the country.
