Shortened title.

Full title: Obama’s DHS Sec Says Administration Knew About Russian Hack, Waited To Tell Public For Fear Of Label As ‘Taking Sides’

Former Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson said on MSNBC Monday morning that although the Obama administration knew of Russian hacking as early as summer of 2016, the administration did nothing initially out of concern for being labeled as “taking sides.”

What a liar.

There was no hack. It has been conclusively proven that the info was leaked.

The Obama administration did not do nothing in the summer of 2016.

They murdered and covered up the killing of Seth Rich.

They prepared the phony Russia story to use against Trump.

They illegally surveilled the Trump campaign.

They lied to the FISA court to get a warrant to spy on Trump.

It's not about telling the public. That's easy to weasel out of. It's about dealing with a legitimate threat from a foreign country instead of spying on American citizens.

INDICT OBAMA!!!

That doesn’t explain why they did nothing if Russia affected the vote, because the email hacking was before the Election.

What a liar.
He can say anything he wants on television or in print.

Put him under oath where there are consequences for lying
and see if he says the same thing.

There was no “hack”. And the DNC refused to let the FBI look at the servers. They hired their own contactors who said it happened.

It’s all part of Hillary the loser’s whiney excuse.

Assange has flatly said the DNC emails didn’t come from a “state actor.”

His information has yet to be proved inaccurate much less a lie.

But it was Ok for the IRS, Justice Department, EPA, and HHS to take sides for the years from when Obama was elected up to that point.

Gee whiz, Wally, Barry really cares about all the little people and doesn't want to frighten them.

"Waited To Tell Public For Fear Of Label As ‘Taking Sides’"

Obama wouldn't place his hand over his heart for fear of taking sides...I don't buy that for a second...the Obama's were then and are now racists who dislike America....

Riiiiiiiiiight.

That’s why AGLynch met with Bent Willy on the tarmac a week before Comey took a dive on Illary’s Multiple Felonies.

Because that didn’t tip the scales of justice at ALL.

What a load of Bovine Scat!

So Democrats want to throw the Big Zero under the Russian bus to protect Hillary? The MSM will never support that!

This is going to be fun to watch. Please pass the popcorn.

He’s fulla s#it on every level, who cares what the dirtbag thinks anyhow. NO HACK, the DNC stuff was an inside job copied to a memory stick and whatever the Russian Troll Farm did it wasn’t “hacking”. These people are dumb.

Of course they knew.
That is why Seth Rich was murdered.
