The White House is expected to announce a series of retaliatory measures against Russia for meddling in the U.S. election as soon as Thursday, CNN reported.

The package is expected to include sanctions, covert cyber measures and diplomatic censure, The Washington Post reported Wednesday.

Officials told CNN that the administration is also expected to name individuals associated with a Russian disinformation campaign that used information stolen from the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and other Democratic organizations to damage Hillary Clinton's campaign.

Oh goody, something to actually look forward to on an otherwise nominal garbage day...

Unbefreakinlievable.

Earth to the USA. This is a major scandal.

Isn't this the ‘fake news’ that Barky wants to start a war with Russia to keep Trump from taking his Oath of Office?

With a war going on, the Middle East now so unsettled with what Kerry has done to Israel, this is the George Soros plan to get America into a New World Order...with Barky as America's King...

Pray people, and pray hard that God has His Hands on America, Trump Administration and Israel...

Earth to the USA. This is a major scandal for corrupt Obama.

He is throwing all sorts of political bombs.

Looks like Ø is planting IEDs all over the place, to explode and tear off limbs of Trump, his incoming Administration, and the American Public.

It would be silly to claim the Russians tampered with the election if Hitlery won. Now I would not put it past the left to do this, as they put Stein up to the recount, which was just silly as she stood no chance of winning.

IMO, if Hitlery won, she’d pursue some other avenue to get into war with Russia.

For the globalists to truly succeed world wide, they need to get Russia and China under their thumbs. War is about the only way they can pull it off.

Mr.Putin, release the Kenyan birth record.

l’il stompy might get a polonium laced gift bottle of vodka if he keeps twisting the bears tail with these nonsense threats.

[Mouton]

at this announcement someone in press will ask: was any of the info disclosed true or accurate? 3. 2. 1.....never

[Bubba_Leroy]

Obama is leaving office and trying to sabotage America's relationship with Russia.

Which means that Trump can get credit for rebuilding America's relationship with Russia.

"Stroke of the pen. Law of the land. Kinda cool."

But there’s already a consensus in the Senate. They don’t need any facts.

Good thing Obama has no ability to launch nuclear strikes. That idiot would do it to try to stay in office. His handlers have no doubt tried to think through that one.

But my lib coworker swore that Barry wouldn't do any hacking/cyberterrorism...

a Russian disinformation campaign that used information stolen from the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and other Democratic organizations to damage Hillary Clinton's campaign.

How was that DISINFORMATION if it came from the DNC servers?

What the MSM and DNC was putting out was DISINFORMATION about (staged) violent outburts at Trump rallies, staged 'townhall' and 'debate' questions, 'staged' polling numbers, and other collusion (including giving Hillary a red pen to take to articles about her).

Senator O'McCarthy is waving a list threatening to name names is he? What a piece of low lying crud this bastard man child is.

Boris Badenov, Natasha Fatale, and Fearless Leader.

Let what go? Russia trying to hack US institutions like we try to hack Russian institutions?

Assange has made it clear that Russia was not a source of their Podesta or other Hillary wikileaks at all.

Barry and Brennan are lying.

[a fool in paradise]

They claim they saw signs of Russia’s hand in this before the election results. They sat quietly until they lost.

If Trump had lost you wouldn’t hear anything of Russia hackers influencing the 2016 election. It was counter to what they were saying as they sought a promise from Trump that he would accept the results of the election.
