Nice 3 week old article of someone trying to sell a book, how about something from today? For example, it being revealed that the day Trump asked a hostile foreign nation to hack our government, they did.

Thanks Sarge. Please show where Pres Trump *asked* a hostile foreign nation to hack our government.

It's been stated in articles our own government could fake another government hacking.
