Today

Good morning! Today is Friday August 11, 2017.
Here is a sampler of some of the latest investigative news from around the country and across the world.

Report: DNC 'Hack' Was an Inside Job
The Nation
What if the DNC "hack" was actually an inside job? The theory has had traction on the right, but now the progressive weekly The Nation is joining in, pointing to an investigation embracing this conclusion: "There was no hack of the Democratic National Committee's system on July 5 last year—not by the Russians, not by anyone else. Hard science now demonstrates it was a leak—a download executed locally with a memory key or a similarly portable data-storage device. In short, it was an inside job by someone with access to the DNC's system."

Lost, Found, Lost Again: Have You Seen This Military Gear?
RealClearInvestigations
If only they'd installed a GPS tracker on the packages. Now Washington might have to put the missing military gear on a milk carton. Both the Pentagon and State Department are at a loss to account for a stray 200-parcel warfighting shipment that should have arrived in Yemen ... about a decade ago.

Fired Googler in Diversity Uproar Has Legal Advantages
RealClearInvestigations
James Davore, the fired Google programmer at the center of a diversity uproar, may have advantages if he takes his former employer to court, thanks to California law barring retaliation against employees engaging in protected workplace activities.

Feds Too Busy to Correct Citizenship Mistake
Washington Examiner
Last year, an audit revealed that over 1,000 people awaiting deportation were granted citizenship instead. Months later, only three have had their citizenship revoked. The Department of Justice claims its limited resources are tied up defending President Trump's immigration crackdown and defunding sanctuary cities. At this rate, it might take over a year to denaturalize the unauthorized.

Indiana Early Voting Favors GOP Areas
Indianapolis Star
State and local Republicans have expanded early voting in GOP-dominated areas and restricted it in Democratic areas, prompting a significant change in Central Indiana voting patterns, an Indianapolis Star investigation finds. After the changes, significantly more Republicans voted early -- and Democrats are crying foul.

Why Men Are the Big Minority on Campus
The Atlantic
Men once went to college in proportions far higher than women—58 percent to 42 percent as recently as the 1970s—but now the ratio has almost exactly reversed. That's right: Men are the big minority on campus. Schools are scrambling to reverse the imbalance, but mens' reluctance to enroll has origins as early as primary school, and in economic forces that make it seem a degree is not worth the time and money. It also doesn't help that the campus atmosphere today tends to make some feel like prospective rapists.
