White House officials predicted Thursday that new sanctions being levied against Russia in retaliation for that countrys apparent hacking during the 2016 election would not be reversed by President-elect Donald Trump, despite Trumps call for warmer relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
After he takes the oath of office in late January, Trump could unilaterally act to roll back the sanctions, which include expelling 35 Russian operatives and closing down two Russian facilities in the United States. But White House officials argued that if he did so, Trump would risk looking like he had caved to Russian interests.
If a future president decided he wanted to allow in a large tranche of Russian intelligence agents, presumably a future president could do that, a senior Obama administration official said on a Thursday press call. We dont think it would make much sense to reopen Russian intelligence compounds. ... We dont think it makes much sense to invite back in Russian intelligence agents.
Trumps transition team, as of the time of this publication, had not released a statement on the new sanctions issued by President Barack Obama...

How long have you been on obama’s payroll? 2nd Division Vet, you exposed another obama worshiper.
If there is real evidence Trump should investigate and punish those that withheld this security information from him. He is the president elect so his ears should be hearing everything. Especially if we are currently imposing sanctions on Russia! If there is no evidence he should deal with the departments that put their name on this report. I think this could be classified as a conspiracy. Either way somebody is getting a beat down.
Go ahead.
Make my day.
And liberals are the most humor challenged creatures on the face of the earth.
Wait! Zero, whom rolled out the carpet into the W.H. for the Muslim Brotherhood, is expelling Russians left and right, for something HE/MSM said could never be done; and they’ve provided exactly ZERO evidence of?
BWAhahahaa
Caving to the Russian?!? More like slapping the Kenyan into oblivion.
It was nothing but Prez Stompy Pants throwing a childish temper tantrum.
Amen! Trump supporters know better than that! We would never think Trump was caving to anybody but rather he’s a man of honor and would stand up and let us know if there really was no evidence ( which there ain’t) that the Russians have “hacked”anything. He would do what a man of Honor would do — invite them back with regrets, not apology, of a misunderstanding, the difference between administrations ;something like that to soft-pedal offending Obama and the Dems. But the world would understand the truth that Obama was a failed ,unAmerican ,Marxist, and we have been graced by God to have survived him. and we will all breathe a sigh of relief saying “Good Riddance.”
This from the administration that thru a filmmaker in jail to cover the misdeeds of Benghazi. The administration has shown themselves to be liars and more than willing to blame innocent victims if it suits their purpose. The entire Russia hacking bit is a flat out lie.
Obama thinks this is a playground basketball game.
The oily perverts in the White Hut acting like the middle school girls they are.
In his last month in office, Obutthole is waking up every day, scheming on ways to stick it to Trump.
He’s going to go down in history as the most petulant, vindictive, juvenile president, this nation has ever had.
