Obama's Parting Shot: Obama Orders Intelligence Community Review of 2016 Election Hacking

Obama Orders Intelligence Community Review of 2016 Election Hacking

Published December 09, 2016

President Obama has ordered his intelligence agencies to conduct a review of hacking during the 2016 presidential election and present their findings before he leaves office, a top adviser said Friday.

Obama's counterterrorism adviser Lisa Monaco disclosed the review to reporters in Washington Friday morning.

"We maybe have crossed into a new threshold," Monaco said. Monaco did not say if the report would be made public.

The intelligence community already has probed suspected foreign intervention in the U.S. election, having concluded earlier that Russia-backed actors likely were involved in breaching and releasing Democratic Party emails during the 2016 cycle.

The final weeks of the White House race also were rocked by WikiLeaks’ publication of Hillary Clinton Campaign Chairman John Podesta’s hacked emails.

At the time, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange denied the Russian government or any other “state parties” were the source for the 50,000 emails, which fueled weeks of embarrassing coverage for the Clinton campaign detailing behind-the-scenes discussions and arguments among Clinton advisers and family members.

Obama’s directive to his intelligence agencies to conduct a full review and report to him before he leaves office on Jan. 20 could serve to fuel more questions about the integrity of the election – at a time when President-elect Donald Trump’s advisers and allies are battling with Clinton stalwarts still bitter over the race.

How about reviewing our bureaucrats, and erstwhile bureaucrats, lax sense of cybersecurity protocols.

I can’t see what experience this young lady had in national security before Obama picked her a few years ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisa_Monaco

Parting shot? Bull cookies. He’s still got 40 days and 40 nights to hide, shred or dismantle the dems fingerprints on DC corruption. His final pardons are looming.

gee, could it be set up in a last ditch effort to put the hag in office? Adopt the Israeli voting system and there would be no reason for post election issues

How about a ‘review’ of the 10’s of thousands of ballots MORE THAN the door count in districts that HilLIARy won?????????????

AND SOME JAIL TIME

I firmly believe they generated hundreds of thousands of votes for her, AND deleted as many as possible in heavy Trump districts.

I think if a real count was taken it might have been closer to 2 to 1 margin

Hi.

“Thus casting doubt on Trump’s legitimacy.”

What or who is to say the “hacking” entity didn’t want Cankles as president?

More fake news.

Geez, how about a thorough recount and investigation of California and New York?

Still trying to blame someone else for their own failures. Hope Tzippi has all the emails.

“The intelligence community already has probed suspected foreign intervention in the U.S. election...’

What’s the difference between foreign intervention in our election and foreign money given to US Presidential candidates?

The DNC leak was more likely to be Seth Rich.
They don’t want to solve his murder.

No, it's true. I swear.

I took this picture at the secret alt-right airbase in Montana:

This Antonov flew all the way from Russia wit the hacked voting machines for Wisconsin and Michigan. I believe the machines for Pennsylvania went to a separate alt-right base.

Hail Trump!
