Money quotes:
I think that it is appropriate to divulge, since a lot of this has taken a partisan tone… Within the last 24 hours… a second attempt was made.
Marco Rubio said that Russian hackers targeted his campaign staff in June 2016, right after he announced he was running for the Senate.
He also said that they targeted his former campaign staff again at 10:45 AM Wednesday March 29. Presumably it was not a coincidence that he was speaking the next day on the subject.
This is in addition to reports that they had targeted his campaign during the Presidential primary. He said he had no comment on that, since it would be covered in the committee report.
This is a big deal. It could change the narrative from the Democrats whining about Hillary losing to an ongoing plot to take down any opponents of Trump and Putin, whether Republican or Democrat. Head-to-head, Rubio was more popular than Trump last year among Republicans. And if Rubio was targeted, it is likely that Jeb, Cruz, and Kasich were also.
