The Obama administration is close to announcing a series of measures to punish Russia for its interference in the 2016 presidential election, including economic sanctions and diplomatic censure, according to U.S. officials.
The administration is still finalizing the details, which are also expected to include covert action that likely will involve cyber operations, the officials said. An announcement on the public elements of the response could come as early as this week.
The sanctions part of the package culminates weeks of debate in the White House about how to revise an executive order from last year meant to give the president authority to respond to cyberattacks from overseas, but which did not originally cover efforts to influence the electoral system.

Yes. At thisate stage, he’ll be happy to just start a few more wars — and leave the cleanup to DJT.
Lotsa muslim operatives strap on a suicide vest and kill themselves for “allah” (Satan in disguise).
Just sayin’.....
Other comment containing ‘Dumas Dork’ was referring to Hussein obama.
Will he also fart in they’re general direction?
It’s a set up so trump loses no matter what he does. a classic chess fork
If he rescinds the sanctions he is a Russia lover
If he doesn’t he buys the lie
best move......snuff the black king
Wrong remedy, applied to the wrong people, at the wrong time...and for all the wrong reasons.
Hysterical fit as the time dwindles down to the last few days.
Tick-tock, tick-tock.
Trump needs to get on the phone and tell Obama to not write a check he can’t cash. And then call Putin and say anything Obama does he can undo.
I never thought I’d see a newspaper staff forget to use the word, “alleged,” but WaPo has a lot of company this year, including the major TV news people.
This is extremely serious. This manchild is attempting to start a war with Russia. The (RINO) Congress has passed a bill to send surface to air missiles to ISIS. Now the administration has announced it will initiate a “covert” cyberattack on Russia.
Thank God we only have 3 weeks left to endure this deranged child.
Note to Trump: see my tagline.
Could it be because Russia has in fact discovered that Hillary Clinton/Morrell/Patraeus sent sarin gas to the ISIS rebels in Aleppo?
Clinton/Soros private army have been toppling foreign governments . . .

Barack Hussein Obama needs to be tried for treason.
He’s a narcissistic sociopath. They have no conscience, and care only about themselves. It’s a mental illness. Incurable.
You can be sure Putin will be shaking in his boots over the action Obama is planning to take. NOT!!!!!!
More scorched earth obama exit policy in action.
Very likely, but even narcissists tend to have a certain method to their madness. This... I don’t know what Obama thinks he’ll accomplish by making Putin hate him personally. He must know that Putin and Trump are glancing at one another behind his back like, “As soon as this child is out of the way, we can sit down and hash this out.”
A sociopath like he, would have no compunction about starting a war. Pray without ceasing.
Yes, I understand that, but what I am saying is: he must know it’s not going to work. He must know that Putin is just going to wait him out. It’s 23 days. So why do these desperate and pathetic things that just make him look like a jackass?
He doesn’t know he’s a jackass; he thinks he’s God’s gift. A legend in his own mind. ;-)
