Obama administration plans to punish Russia for election meddling
CBS Noose ^ | December 28, 2016 | Julianna Goldman

The Obama administration is finalizing plans to punish Russia for interfering with the recent U.S. election with an announcement could come as soon as Thursday.

A senior administration official tells CBS news they will likely name individuals associated with Moscow’s efforts to hack Democratic organizations in the run-up to the presidential election.

Officials have said sanctions would likely target leaders in Russia’s largest intelligence agency - which they believe was behind the cyberattacks aimed at helping President-elect Donald Trump -- and operating with President Vladimir Putin’s blessing.

Hey Obama, what about retaliation for all those millions of federal employee personal information (background checks) stolen by the Chinese from the OPM? Wasn’t that worse?

This false outrage has but one purpose: to keep the unproven allegation of Russian interference alive and thus impugn the legitimacy of the Trump victory.

All of the Russian, Israeli resolution, and other activities are a smoke screen for when His Arrogance is forced to pardon at least 50 - 150 of his top level people. Once Trump’s people get into the departments and agencies and view what has gone on, crap is going to hit the fan. So the game is to create as much chaos between now and Jan 20th before he releases the pardons on the 19th.

These scumbags continue to try craft a false narrative that America did not reject Hillary Clinton and the “Obama Legacy”. They do so with the lie that Russia hacked the Democrats’ e-mails and influenced the election by revealing the truth.

Well, the Democrats’ e-mails were hacked. The ugly truth about the Democrats was revealed. But the Russians didn't do it. And the Democrats know it. But the Democrats rather poison the well than let anyone have a drink from the waters of liberty.

Did I get it right?

In the overall view, yes.

The DemoRats lost the election all by themselves, and the Russians are bad guys because they won't take the fall as the Democrats require of everybody else when they, themselves, are the only ones at fault.

What would Germans think and/or do if they got wind beforehand of the arsonists planning the Reichstag burning?

Undocumented investigative journalists, alleged to be Russian, just doing the jobs that American reporters aren’t willing to do.

Why would the Democrats want to admit that they practice poor cyber security policies? Do the Democrats not know that they were hacked because of their own stupidity?

Are they blaming the Russians because they themselves are stupid? Where is that going?

Yeah, Obama and the Dems think they have the answer to their 2016 debacle.

So I believe Trump should call their bluff. Don’t criticize Obama, instead praise him and then go step further and prosecute/investigate ALL election fraud. Look into all the votes cast by illegals in Cali and elsewhere. Go after Soros. Jail Illary/Bubba on their pay for play foundation. Just for starters.

In fact, pass a new law named The Obama Fair Election Act in honor of the moron who started this shit. Ram his petty power play right up his pore.

"This false outrage has but one purpose: to keep the unproven allegation of Russian interference alive and thus impugn the legitimacy of the Trump victory."

Well said. I wonder if 0dungheap will show evidence that Russia "interfered with the election". HOW SO? Was the leak of Podesta's and/or Hillary's emails to Wikileaks part of our election? AND I DON'T THINK THE RUSSIANS ARE EVEN RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT, EITHER.

So, HOW, 0dungsh*t? HOW did they interfere?

Answer: 'CRICKETS'

0dungcr@p is going to LIE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.. AGAIN!
