The Obama administration is contemplating an unprecedented cyber covert action against Russia in retaliation for alleged Russian interference in the American presidential election, U.S. intelligence officials told NBC News.

Current and former officials with direct knowledge of the situation say the CIA has been asked to deliver options to the White House for a wide-ranging "clandestine" cyber operation designed to harass and "embarrass" the Kremlin leadership.

Anonymous has being calling this.

Not Jeff Ross’s CIA any more.

All I can see is Bugs Bunny (Russians) plugging Elmer Fudd’s (Obama’s) shot gun with a carrot.

Geez, does anyone think they won’t see this coming?

BOzo better be careful or Putin will come over and slap his stiffy.

Why do the Russians need their own intelligence agency, when they have our MSM?

Why are the Democrats so hot to go to war with Russia?

[God luvs America]

its like Tom Brady stepping to the line of scrimmage, looking at the defense and saying “we are going to run the following play......”

[OwenKellogg]

I think we’ve already lost the element of surprise.

Why are the Democrats so hot to go to war with Russia?

a) Short term political advantage.
b)Reduced population.
c) War profits.
d) Great excuse for more government controls on the people.

What good will this do other than to have Russia retaliate against our own computer networks?

[thoughtomator]

Do the American people get any input in this?

[fireman15]

This is cover for the Hillary campaign which is trying to divert the narrative from her misdeeds now being uncovered by these leaked emails. The amusing thing is that the Russians almost certainly have the “deleted” emails and this empty threat might actually cause them to release what they have.

[NonValueAdded]

WTF would they announce it for???

[Dr.Deth]

The Hillary campaign internals must be at an unrecoverably low level.

To effectively declare war on Russia, with no evidence or authorization from Congress? They’ll probably give Obama another Nobel Peace Prize. Of course it’ll be glowing with rads, but what the hell.
