to bring you down and bring down this agency. that is really disturbing, franco on top of something else disturbing. these reports that are emerging about hacking and china. i, mean the fact that these hackers, i mentioned at the top, broke into email servers, right? gina armando, our commerce secretary, they got into her emails account. how concerned about this are you? we keep talking about cyberattacks and what we need to do to protect ourselves. but clearly we are not getting the job done? well, first it is illustrative that we are talking about this on the same day that we have named members of congress suggest that the fbi, the ncc that investigates chinese hacking should be defended and dismantled. so let me get that comment out of the way. because it s ludicrous. secondly, this is the method of operation of the chinese government. they don t intend to stop, this
