Jeh Johnson: Social Media Was the Trojan Horse of 2016 Elections

‘Just before I left office, I declared the election infrastructure to be critical infrastructure’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

JOHNSON: "This was the Trojan Horse, 2016. 2016, I, as Secretary of Homeland Security, was very focused on potential cyber-attacks on election infrastructure. And just before I left office, I declared the election infrastructure to be critical infrastructure. We were worried about, you know, ballot counting, reporting, and so forth. Turned out that was not the issue, hasn't been the issue, wasn't the issue in 2020, wasn't the issue in 2022. The Trojan Horse was the extent to which the Russian government invaded our American conversation, and it's spelled out in the Mueller indictment. But this is an issue that we've really yet to get our arms around because it does implicate free speech."
