WTF is Trump talking about needing to catch 'hackers' in the act to order to verify who's doing it? Maybe I'm being a computer dunce, but since when does that happen? Aren't they almost always discovered later?

Does anyone know who the artist is that created this? I have tried to send an email to the signature address on the work but all attempts have bounced back. I am in the process of working up smallhandsinthewhitehouse.com and would like to display this work on it. Any info appreciated. Thanks.

Look, if you don't see the hacker reaching through the tube, you just don't know. It's not as if the systems keep "logs" of such things. Nor would anyone expect that the NSA has "carnivore" system monitoring data transmissions over the internet.

Well, his dad reportedly had a fair amount to do with putting a rent boy in a national security position so he could get an arm on the then-Governor of Jersey, so it's in line with the @MaggieNYT-style family loyalty they're known for.

He's seen too many movies where "We need to put up the firewall to trap him in the system! If he can get out before we do, we'll never catch him!"
