Frustrated Dems say Obama botched Russia response
By Katie Bo Williams - 06/23/17 05:48 PM EDT
The Obama administration is under fresh scrutiny for its response to Russian meddling in the election after new details emerged this week about how the White House weighed its actions against the 2016 political environment.
Then-President Obama was too cautious in the months leading up to the election, frustrated Democratic lawmakers and strategists say.
It was inadequate. I think they could have done a better job informing the American people of the extent of the attack, said Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), a member of the House Intelligence Committee who co-chairs the Democratic Steering and Policy Committee.

Hillary Clinton will publicly blame Barack Obama for her loss in 2016.
They’ve become racists, I guess, if they’re criticizing Hussein.
They must feel very conflicted. If they believe there was Russian hacking, it was during Hussein’s “reign”. They’re going to have to resign themselves to the fact there was no Russian involvement OR admit that their
small-s god was incompetent and/or complicit.
Anyone besides me remember Obama derisively responding to Trump that US elections were secure and no way could the Russians meddle, or otherwise interfere, with the process?
Russia might try to mess with the computers, but that would be almost fruitless. At polling places, machines are pretty much stand-alone - not networked. And states aren’t networked with each other. The only hacking of machines was by the Dems at the precinct level.
If Russia “influenced” our election by coordinating with Wikileaks (which they didn’t), then... thank you!! That’s not hacking; that’s disseminating information that voters need to have.
Personally, I think if any Russian influence existed, it was in the form of the bot army that flooded every public forum with pro-leftist propaganda. Those bot armies do exist; one can still find bot postings pushing socialist drivel on most public comment boards. But I think the bots are deployed by the DNC and Soros. Was Russia involved with that effort?
They've got another chance to get their act together. The dems are eating their own now. If 'pubs unite and start enacting stuff the dems hate, the dems won't get their act together for the next election cycle.
If only the Republicans we elected were on our side. Either they never were, or they've had too much swampwater now that they're in DC.
As my mom used to say, you can $hit in one hand and wish in the other.
Guess which one's gonna fill up first.
The GOP ain't nothing but democrats in disguise
Demonrats hello....bammy botched everything because he is anti Christian antiUSA, and an in your face racist.
In Russia, vodka yells hillary’s name
This gal D/W/S is super-ambitious. She actually has a spreadsheet of those that “owed her” .......people she did favors for.
Oh, please....MSM make a Democrat look bad. Nevah happen.
I believe that an Observer report quoting from Politico had those details.
Nonsense....they were collaborators. The Rooskies have been trying to influence US elections since 1917.
The reality is that they were hoping that the Rooskies would HELP hILLary win. Once it went south via WikiLeaks, they realized that the Rooskies weren't doing enough to help hILLary.
That's REALLY what the democRATS are mad about.
Further, they thought the media gaslighting operation would succeed in fooling the people and once hILLary was ensconced in office, they would have nothing to fear.
So he was too cautious in dealing with a complete fabrication? It was something he accidentally did right.
Where do they go after blaming Obama? ROFL!
Answer: NOWHERE. This is it, the end of the line. Waiting for the entire Democrat Party to be called RACISTS for blaming the first black President.
This is going to be fun to watch. The Democrat Party implosion is about to go nuclear.
jOkeass didn't botch it, he was being flexible.
And some of you fretted DT wouldn’t “get” Zero.
Patience. They will all get “got.”
Hope springs eternal...
As long as the Russia hack is alive, Seth Rich is alive.
The used differing beginnings, too.
They’re starting to eat their own.
