A senior Republican senator said Wednesday that his campaign accounts were hacked by Russians, taking issue with President-elect Donald Trump's rejection of Moscow's alleged interference in the US elections.
Senator Lindsey Graham said he was informed three months before the November 8 presidential election that his accounts were broken into.
"Our campaign vendor was hacked. We were told by the FBI in August that we were hacked in June," he told CNN television.
Trump has rejected the conclusion by the CIA and FBI that Russians stole data out of campaign computers and were behind the leak of documents and communications from the Democratic National Committee and the emails of Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton's campaign chief, John Podesta.
Those leaks damaged Clinton's ultimately losing campaign effort and the CIA concluded that, with the leaks, Russia had intended to bolster Trump.
"I do believe the Russians hacked into the DNC. I do believe they hacked into Podesta's email account. They hacked into my campaign account. I do believe all the information released publicly hurt Clinton, didn't hurt Trump," Graham said.
"But I don't think the outcome of the election is in doubt," he added.
Graham, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, has called for a congressional probe into Russian election hacking.
And he said on Twitter that Russia would pay.
"My goal is to put on President Trump's desk crippling sanctions against Russia. They need to pay a price," he said.
Separately late Wednesday Devin Nunes, the chair of the House Intelligence Committee, said that the main intelligence community agencies had rejected his demand that they brief the committee on Thursday on cyber attacks during the election.
"The committee is vigorously looking into reports of cyber-attacks during the election campaign, and in particular we want to clarify press reports that the CIA has a new assessment that it has not shared with us," he said in a statement.
"The committee is deeply concerned that intransigence in sharing intelligence with Congress can enable the manipulation of intelligence for political purposes."

This story was already floated back in August. I'm thinking this was a leak, not a hack. Seems contrived - and the content was so dull (except for a joke from a non-supporter of Graham), no one cared. They were released on DCleaks, not wikileaks.
(8/12/16)
A website tied to the hacking scandal of the Democratic Party has now posted a small batch of leaked emails from Republican campaigns and state GOP staffers.
The emails on the site, known as DCLeaks, appear to be from state party officials and former Republican presidential candidates, including Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.). The messages range from June to October of 2015.

Ignorant voters pick the name they recognize on the ballot.
Lindsey Graham lays out path for Tillerson to win his vote
Lindsey Graham said he could vote against Rex Tillerson if he isn’t tough on Russia — but he laid out a clear path for Donald Trump’s nominee for secretary of state to win his vote if he endorses sanctions and criticizes Russian hacking.
The South Carolina senator said Thursday on Fox News that Tillerson can win his vote by endorsing new sanctions on Russia after Tillerson opposed sanctions as CEO of ExxonMobil, and by endorsing the widely held view that Russia tried to influence the 2016 election.
“I want you to come forward and say whether or not you believe they interfered in our elections, they’re interfering in other democracies. If you say they are not, I will be troubled by your judgment,” Graham said. “Do you support new sanctions? And if he doesn’t, it would be very hard for me to vote for him because you’re giving a green light for this behavior.”
Though Graham appears to be taking a hard line against Tillerson, in reality he and other Republicans are sketching out a to-do list for Tillerson to win over Russia hawks. Though Graham and Sens. John McCain of Arizona and Marco Rubio of Florida have expressed views critical of Tillerson’s nomination, they’ve also left the door open for Tillerson to answer their questions about his business ties to Putin and Russia.
On Tuesday, McCain told the Family Research Council that it concerns him a “great deal” that Putin gave Tillerson an award, though he said he understands that Tillerson’s past dealings with Russia were driven by business imperatives.
“He was given an award by Vladimir Putin, I was sanctioned by Vladimir Putin. That concerns me a great deal. I will meet with Mr. Tillerson, I’m sure, and we will have a debate about it," McCain said in a clip flagged by CNN. “There has to be a recognition at some point … that Vladimir Putin is a thug, a murderer and a butcher.”
But McCain added that he understands that “the people speak and you give deference to the president’s nominations.”
In a major development for Trump's administration, Tillerson appears close to winning at least one Democratic vote, which would aid his confirmation prospects significantly. Tillerson needs at least 50 votes to become secretary of state and the GOP will control 52 seats next year. If Trump can get a Democrat, he could aford to lose up to three GOP senators.
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) said on MSNBC on Thursday morning that he wants to make sure Tillerson is pursuing America's interest at the State Department rather than helping ExxonMobil’s bottom line, but he seemed less worried about Tillerson's Russia ties.
“Rex’s relationship with Putin, that’s not what I’m worried about at all,” Manchin said. “If he has a rapport with this man and anybody else, I think that would help break the ice and move things along further.”
Another moderate Democrat, Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota, is more circumspect, saying that she has “some concerns about Rex Tillerson’s close ties to Russia and Vladimir Putin, and his potential conflicts of interest with Russia and other countries abroad.”

Funny how asshats like Lindsey Graham would use that phrase when in condemnation of the common man, but when it comes to him being judged by the people, he genuinely thinks he is above the law!
