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.

I think this could really be the big one.

King Opie is really P.O.'d at Putin this time.

He was counting on Hillary being elected President.

He knew she would do such a horrible job that she would replace him as the worst president ever.

Here’s the irony: If Russia were still run by the communists, they and obama would be best buddies.

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

Because calling it an INFORMATION campaign just doesn't have the same punch.

Juan and Linda are likely recruiting a couple of lefty RINOs to reach across the aisle with them to the ‘Rats to thwart Trump.

“Meanwhile Hillary left top-secrets open to the entire world on her server, and she walks away scot-free.”

She will be Scot-free until 1/21. Once the statute of limitations runs out on Obama’s non pardon, it’s over.

If people keep talking about these covert actions the Russians are going to find out about them. Remember this is covert. That means we don’t want them to know about it. This administration is populated by morons.
These provocative acts need to be approved by Congress. Congress has already passed a defense bill that includes surface to air missiles for Syrian rebels. The Russians consider this a hostile act. If this idiot can provoke the Russians he can claim that they put Trump in office so he can void the election.

A child could have hacked the DNC. They protected their systems with simple passwords, and half of their passwords were Hillary16 or variations.

The RNC, OTOH, used two factor authentication.

It is not Trump’s fault that the Democratics were lazy and stupid.

It will take Seal Team 6 to take out Hussein Obama.

I’m sure it will be in Trump’s intelligence briefing. (This would be a great test by a Trump of the credibility of the brief).

The real issue is truth. “What difference does it make, at this point” (HRC) how truth is unleashed, for either party. “The American people need to know if their President is a crook” (Nixon). The bigger question is why do the think they can hide, or selectively leak half truths with impunity and then cry foul if truth is revealed elsewhere. If the Fourth Estate chooses sides then where is truth to come from?

Expect 0bama to announce the attack began 5 minutes ago and then he’ll head for his bunker, leaving the rest of us to pay for his hubris.
