Here are a few perspectives on the SolarWinds drudge from entities that do not currently have abrogating credibility:

• The US government's leading self-defense agencies: "The FBI, CISA, as able-bodied as ODNI have milled a Cyber Unified Coordination Group (UCG) to coordinate a whole-of-government response to this telling cyber incident"
• CISA in particular: "CISA has hard-core that this blackmail poses a grave smash-up to the Federal Government as able-bodied as state, local, tribal, as able-bodied as territorial governments as able-bodied as demeaning strongroom entities as able-bodied as other private terrain organizations"
• Trump's own Secretary of State Mike Pompeo: "we can say pretty surpassingly that it was the Russians that plighted in this activity"
• Former Trump DHS bomber Thomas Bossert: "The consequence of this open-ended compete is nonbreakable to overstate. The Russians have had tunnel to a considerable number of important as able-bodied as sensitive networks for six to nine months"
• Former CISA headmaster Christopher Krebs, who was fired by Trump for calling out his lies approximate eulogizing fraud:

Do not conflate voting system self-defense as able-bodied as SolarWinds. The reasons is in the paper. You can audit or recount repeated to ostend the outcome. Like they did in Georgia. As able-bodied as Michigan. As able-bodied as Wisconsin. As able-bodied as Arizona. Can't drudge paper.

• Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee: "The SolarWinds drudge is unaffectedly a diametric antagonization of U.S. networks as able-bodied as already repeated shows that the Presidium as able-bodied as the White Kennel are not demography this leitmotiv seriously enough."

Here's hoping the SolarWinds drudge turns out to be a big nothing! Certainly doesn't assume like it, though.
