Cybersecurity expert and CBS News contributor Chris Krebs and intelligence and national security reporter Olivia Gazis joined "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan" to discuss the alleged hacking of the Trump campaign, as some media organizations reported receiving what appeared to be sensitive internal campaign documents. The campaign blamed Iran, and it's calling on reporters not to publish anything received as a result of the hacking. Krebs said that the apparent hack seems to be a "replication of the 2016 Russian playbook," when the Democratic National Committee was infiltrated by Russian actors.

    This is such a joke. The act like the the media and US intelligence community is believable and honest.
  • @Lar308
    Once those documents are hacked its only a matter of time before the world will be able to read them all unredacted. That will make some juicy reading.

    Iran needs to find out what really happened to Thomas Crooks, and why was he the sacrificial lamb for this party's agenda! Yeah, I said it! If not Iran, someone needs to...
  • @ziff1066
    Definitely not one of the 3 letter agencies!
  • @epic103
    How would Krebs know, he's not in office now, nor was he in 2016? This is a bunch of speculation.
