HuffPost Says Court Can "Install" Clinton

[my2¢]

If the Supreme Court installed Hillary then I would imagine she'll have at least 6 new justices to nominate immediately.

The NSA had been hacking Angel Merkel for YEARS until Wikileaks blew the whistle on them.

Everybody hacks everybody else. We hack them they hack us.... I mean, come on. Grow up already

dimocrap scum are just crying about -- Everything.

It makes me smile.

I agree.
Espionage among nations is absolutely normal!
Every country spies on other countries!

Collecting intell on other nations is one thing. Using that intell to undermine another nation is a completely different matter.

In theory this is true.
But when it comes to espionage I think reality is different

Like the Chinese hacking into defense contractor computers to steal F-35 research and use it to build their J-31? Yes, espionage happens, but in this case the topic is about influencing an election through hacked emails.

Snowden: Chinese hackers stole F-35 fighter jet blueprints
Chinese hackers stole “many terabytes” of data about the American F-35 stealth fighter jet, new documents provided by NSA whistle-blower Edward Snowden contend.

The stolen materials, taken from the Pentagon and contractor Lockheed Martin Corp., included radar designs and engine schematics used in the crown jewel of American military aircraft.

The Pentagon had previously admitted hackers were able to breach governmental networks, but never pointed to China and claimed that no classified information was taken.

China’s version of the stealth fighter, the newly released J-31, has similar design elements, defense experts told Reuters.

Did Chinese really do that Divine.Wind? I'm really surprised because I heard F35 was a very bad military aircraft

Pentagon’s big budget F-35 fighter ‘can’t turn, can’t climb, can’t run’

Yes, they did and, Yes, it is

Well, commie lovers love to knock the US, but facts continue to prevail. The previously linked article was from 2014. These links are from the last few months:

How Lockheed Martin's F-35 Program Became Boringly Successful

Remember when following the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program was like watching one of those dark dramatic series produced by HBO or FX? Problems with the aircraft, its engines and major systems seemed to pop up on a daily basis. The software was behind schedule, testing was not being performed at the proper pace and the program needed more time and money. There was even that awful period from 2011 to 2013 when the short take-off-and-landing variant built primarily for the Marine Corps, the F-35B, was placed on probation by then-Secretary of Defense Robert Gates.

Fast forward a few years and the Joint Strike Fighter program has become boringly successful. Both the U.S. Marine Corps and Air Force have declared initial operating capability. Equally important, both have a sufficient number of aircraft to do the development of operational concepts and tactics. Members of the International Consortium are receiving their first aircraft and several nations are actively investing in supporting infrastructure.

Even recent challenges now proceed in a predictable manner with no serious impact on the overall program. In 2014 there was a catastrophic engine fire caused by the failure of a seal due to excessive fan blade wear. The engine manufacturer, Pratt & Whitney, responded rapidly with a full investigation and root cause analysis. An interim fix was identified for the existing F-35 fleet and a permanent solution designed and implemented first for new engines. Then there was substandard insulation in electric lines that grounded some 15 aircraft just this past September. It turned out to be a problem with one supplier and a particular batch of product that was quickly fixed. Several of the affected JSF’s are already back flying. The biggest problem is getting the F-35’s gun to fire with sufficient accuracy.

The latest problem, stemming from the Imperial Office of Test and Evaluation (OT&E), is the announcement that the program will need an additional $550 million to complete development. Has there been a failure of a critical part? Does the software not work? Nothing of the kind. According to OT&E the additional funds are required to complete the full set of some 8,000 test points mandated by that organization. Think of it as a tax on the program to ensure the full employment of testers.

There are no show stoppers remaining in the F-35 program, merely known problems to be addressed and advanced software drops to be written and installed. As the Under Secretary for AT&L, Frank Kendall, observed in a recent interview, “I have for some time not considered the F-35 to be one of my problem programs.” Like I said, successful and boring.

In the meantime, aircraft are currently flying and the price for F-35s established for successive lots of new production aircraft continues to come down. The initial price for the F-35A, lots 1 and 2, was between $160 and $220 million per copy. The latest contract, for LRIP 9, has the price down to around $90 million a copy. The Air Force ended 18 months of negotiation with Lockheed Martin and imposed a total price of $6.1 billion for 57 aircraft in that lot.

One remaining serious issue for the JSF program is not technical at all. It is the ability of Lockheed Martin to achieve a predictable and economical production rate. At such a rate, the company can negotiate with subcontractors and suppliers for a break on the price of materials and components. The workforce and production line can function optimally.

Getting to the appropriate number of F-35s depends on Congress providing sufficient resources. Each time the Pentagon has been forced to reduce the number of JSFs it plans to buy in a given year from what had been planned the year before, it impacts the entire production process and the supply chain. The price for the next batch of aircraft cannot go down as much as expected. If Congress desires affordability it must fund an appropriate number of aircraft and do so not just for a single year but for five or even ten. Multi-year procurements for F/A-18 fighters, Black Hawk helicopters, the V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft, Virginia-class submarines, DDG-51 destroyers and Chinook helicopters have all reduced unit prices significantly.

f35-IOC-air-force-operational-ACC-combat

The US Air Force on Tuesday declared its first squadron of F-35As ready for battle, 15 years after Lockheed Martin won the contract to make the plane.

The milestone means that the service can now send its first operational F-35 formation — the 34th Fighter Squadron located at Hill Air Force Base, Utah — into combat operations anywhere in the world. The service, which plans to buy 1,763 F-35As, is the single-largest customer of the joint strike fighter program, which also includes the US Marine Corps, US Navy and a host of governments worldwide.

The Air Force, which follows the Marine Corps in approving F-35s for operations, had a five-month window between Aug. 1 and Dec. 31 to proclaim initial operational capability (IOC). After notifying Congress, Air Combat Command (ACC) head Gen. Herbert “Hawk” Carlisle signed off on the declaration on Aug. 2.

In a briefing with reporters Tuesday afternoon, Carlisle stressed that although the F-35A is not perfect, the aircraft has significantly improved from the early days of the program. More importantly, its stealth, electronic warfare and sensor fusion capabilities are urgently needed for future conflicts.

"Given the national security strategy, we need it," he said. "You look at the potential adversaries out there, or the potential environments where we have to operate this airplane, the attributes that the F-35 brings — the ability to penetrate defensive airspace, the ability to deliver precision munitions with a sensor suite that fuses data from multiple information sources — is something our nation needs."

The service’s top leaders also sounded off in support of the declaration. Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David Goldfein and Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James both labeled it "an important milestone."

“The F-35A brings an unprecedented combination of lethality, survivability and adaptability to joint and combined operations, and is ready to deploy and strike well-defended targets anywhere on Earth,” Goldfein said in a statement.

F-35 Program Executive Officer Lt. Gen. Christopher Bogdan said the IOC declaration sends a message to US friends and foes: "The F-35 can do its mission."

Marine Grunts Will Train With F-35 Ahead of First Deployment | Military.com

Senior Marine Corps leaders hope the entry of the F-35B Joint Strike Fighter into the fleet will change not just the way Marines fly, but the way the force fights as a whole.

And they're planning to test out ways the fifth-generation jet can transform the force by pairing it with an unlikely partner: ground-pounders from the Corps' experimental infantry battalion.

The unit, 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines, out of Camp Pendleton, California, will team up with Yuma-based Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 121 for a variety of training evolutions before the units deploy together to the Pacific with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit next year.

These smaller-scale training efforts will give Marines insight into how the aircraft can improve ground combat operations, Lt. Gen. Robert Walsh, head of Marine Corps Combat Development Command, told Military.com in a recent interview.

"We'll get them together now and start operating together, and start to wring out ideas about how you can use the F-35 differently," he said. "Because when you finally get aboard the [amphibious assault ship] USS Wasp together, you already have started to figure, they can do some groundbreaking stuff with the capabilities we're going to bring into 3/5, technology-wise."

Commandant Gen. Robert Neller designated 3/5 as the Corps' experimental unit at the beginning of this year, an unconventional move that highlights the service's heightened interest in rapid prototyping and acquisition and its evolving perspective on force employment for future conflicts.

The unit has been instrumental in testing new gear and different unit sizes and structure, efforts that will continue in the coming year and beyond. But the fact that the battalion is set to accompany the Corps' F-35s on their first deployment owes something to serendipity.

"We stumbled upon it," Walsh said. "But we're going to use and leverage that."

One effort will focus on Link 16, the sophisticated military tactical exchange network used by the F-35 and a number of other U.S. air platforms. Walsh wants to try giving ground troops hand-held smart devices connected to the Link 16 network that could potentially deliver real-time data and situational information from airborne Joint Strike Fighters.

It's a capability that the Air Force might not be interested in for its aircraft, Walsh said, but it has potential for the ground-heavy Marine Corps force.

"Because we're on the front edge of this, linking together 3/5, that you're going to have this great sensing capability that's going to be out there flying," he said. "We want to start getting real-time capability off that airplane … so LINK 16 is a way we know we can get it off."

Walsh also hopes to send battalion forward air controllers, joint terminal attack controllers, and others who coordinate with aircraft in their roles to spend time with VMFA-121 and Marine Operational Test and Evaluation Squadron 1 in Yuma to participate in aircraft exercises and pre-deployment activities.

With both the battalion and the squadron currently stateside, he said, these smaller detachments can engage in conversations between air and ground counterparts about the F-35's capabilities.

"Get them into those units, get them smart on what the F-35 can do, and start pulling together," Walsh said. "It doesn't have to be the whole battalion; it can be bits and pieces starting to work together more."

VMFA-121 is set to depart for Okinawa, Japan, in January, the first Marine F-35 squadron to be forward based. The squadron is expected to deploy aboard the 31st MEU sometime in the fall.

And within the same year, the Marine Corps plans to deploy another F-35 squadron aboard the Essex Amphibious Ready Group, an outing that will likely represent the aircraft's first opportunity to support counter-Islamic State operations in the Middle East.

Congress Showers the F-35 Program with Cash

The F-35 is a wallowing Pig that will be blown out of the sky the first time it encounters a Generation 5 enemy fighter or flies over an S300 system

Yes, commie-loving, America-haters all over the world are hoping to see us fail.

We already have the best Gen 5 Fighter on the Planet. Why the need for the F-35?

There was no need. None.

And the F-35 is a wallowing pig. A complete waste of money. We should have stuck with what we know..... The F-22 is the best Fighter the world has ever seen.

And what are we doing about Ground Attack aircraft? Does the F-35, the F/B-111 of the 21st Century, address that?

No. The F-35 is a boondoggle.

The courts could legally “install” Hillary Clinton as president instead of Donald Trump, because of Russia’s alleged interference in the election, The Huffington Post asserted in a story Friday.

Seizing on a breaking report that the CIA has concluded Russia worked covertly to help Trump win the election, Alex Mojaher writes in HuffPo the findings could be enough for a federal court to “invalidate” Trump’s win. “Russian Interference Could Give Courts Legal Authority To Install Clinton,” the headline reads.
Obama administration officials, TheNYT reports the CIA concluded with “high confidence” that Russia was intentionally working to elect Trump and harm Clinton’s chances. That lines up with WaPo’s report.

But later in the same story, TheNYT reports it is “far from clear” Russia originally intended to help Trump, and says many intelligence officials and even Clinton campaign officials think Russia was trying to undermine the integrity of the election, not help Trump directly.

Of course, even if Russia was trying to help Trump win, turning over hacked emails to the American press does not constitute voter fraud. But Mojaher seems determined to stoke the irrational hopes of Clinton supporters who still have not accepted the result of the election, even as he undermines his own assertion over and over in the story.

“Obviously both the stakes and the office in question are much higher than in the 1994 case,” he writes, adding: “There is also, of course, no constitutional Electoral College process or system in Pennsylvania, so the situations are not exactly analagous. But the reasoning behind the federal court’s decision may hold muster.”

“It is not clear how the 1994 federal case would impact a presidential election,” he goes on. “Furthermore, that case involved the judge throwing out all absentee ballots and requiring the vote be decided only by those ballots cast at the machine, which would be problematic in the case at present.”

“The development has Clinton supporters and other concerned Americans confused and hot in pursuit of potential remedies,” Mojaher writes. “No clear constitutional remedy exists to halt the certification of the outcome.”

But he then goes on to assert that a 1993 state senate election result reversed by the courts due to voter fraud provides precedent for turning the White House over to Clinton. The court invalidated the Pennsylvania result after two elected officials testified under oath they knew voter fraud was happening and intentionally did nothing and even tried to bury the story. That, according to Mojaher, “recalls” the report that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell knew Russia was interfering with the election and did nothing to stop the interference.

Reports from The Washington Post and New York Times on the CIA’s conclusion Friday are conflicting regarding the extent to which Russia did interfere, and whether the country was in fact trying to help Trump. Citing senior Obama administration officials, TheNYT reports the CIA concluded with “high confidence” that Russia was intentionally working to elect Trump and harm Clinton’s chances.

About | F-35 Lightning II
The F-35 Lightning II is a 5th Generation fighter, combining advanced stealth with fighter speed and agility, fully fused sensor information, network-enabled operations and advanced sustainment. Three variants of the F-35 will replace the A-10 and F-16 for the U.S. Air Force, the F/A-18 for the U.S. Navy, the F/A-18 and AV-8B Harrier for the U.S. Marine Corps, and a variety of fighters for at least ten other countries....

...The F-35 and the F-22 are both 5th Generation fighters featuring advanced stealth, integrated avionics, sensor fusion and superior logistics support. The F-35 also delivers additional 5th Generation features, such as multi-spectral sensors, interoperability and modernized avionics.

The F-35 and the F-22 are the world's two premier fighters, but there are some differences between the aircraft. The F-35 is optimized to be a multirole fighter, with the ability to perform air-to-air, air-to-ground and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) missions. While the F-22 is superior to the F-35 in air-to-air missions, the F-35’s air-to-air capability is superior to all other fighters. The F-35 is better than any other fighter aircraft, including the F-22, for air-to-ground strike missions.
