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.

He’s still got martial law in his arsenal. I just wonder who he thinks is going to fight his Russian war.
ping!
I agree. Just disconnect the Russian internet for three weeks and viola. Done.
Given Obama's insane move to alienate the Israelis, the latter is a distinct possibility.
The man is apparently thinking that only he could beat Trump, maybe he now thinks that only he can be President as well. After all, Trump is basically going to do the same thing Egyptian pharaohs used to do and eliminate all traces of Obama and his glorious achievements.
Maybe Barry is losing his marbles. I know he always looks depressed, and if you're going to check out, why not check out like any good radical Muslim would do, causing the biggest mass murder in history?
These transition periods are always worrisome. I figured with all the confusion surrounding the 2000 election Bill and Hillary were thinking of declaring themselves supreme rulers, but they thought better of it.
Obama truly thinks that Trump is the devil and considering his church was Jeremiah Wright's cesspool of hatred. We really have no idea how sick of a puppy Obama may truly be.

Something only someone with the antichrist spirit would do. At a minimum, he has the spirit of antichrist ..... which will culminate in THE Antichrist, who will capitalize on it.

Boy! This is gonna be one, nasty hashtag!
When will Obama give Putin an atta boy for helping Obama destroy Israel?
A severe Red Line drawn with disappearing ink.
The old Bill Clinton punishment: “If you do that again, I’m gonna really get mad.”
I had no idea the democrat party and soros were Russians.
The increasing pain of enduring the last days of the obummer administration reminds me of the feeling of running into a local traffic jam not far from home at the end of a long distance, all-day drive. Just when you think you’re finally home, things move slower and slower and slower.
Jan 20 is starting to seem like an eternity away.
yep
I don’t have to be “trapped” into defending the Russians... They didn’t do it.
The CCCP is long gone FRiend. I know,because I did everything humanly possible within my limited reach to make it happen.
25th Amendment?
His book showed he was fruity. Way back...
Bern that way for quite a few years now. We got just a few weeks left, but whether we survive is still in doubt. Imagine threatening war against Russia and Israel all in the same week. Someone has a death wish.
that should be understood before the 20th without having to be said. Imho
Yer a RACISS!/sarc
He’ll make up something. Dumas Dork!
