The United States on Thursday expelled 35 Russian diplomats and closed two Russian compounds in New York and Maryland in response to a campaign of harassment by Russia against American diplomats in Moscow, a senior U.S. official said on Thursday.
The U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters the Russian diplomats would be given 72 hours to leave the United States. Access to the two compounds will be denied to all Russian officials as of noon on Friday, the official added.
"These actions were taken to respond to Russian harassment of American diplomats and actions by the diplomats that we have assessed to be not consistent with diplomatic practice," the official told Reuters.

They should get the LBJ treatment.
The Marine One crew let LBJ find his own way out of the chopper, and tossed his bags out on the ground.

This is confusing as all get-out. What was the reason? “Election hacking” so-called, or harassment of diplomats? Two reasons equals no reason if you ask me. AKA any excuse will do.

Obama won’t start a war. The entire international community knows he’s just throwing a temper tantrum, and in less than a month he will be irrelevant.
Oh, I know. I was being a little snide there. But what I'm saying is, Putin has been playing games like this waaaaay longer than Obama. And if Obama is trying to tweak Putin into doing something that Obama can use to delay the inauguration, I'm hoping Putin sees right through it.
...and you know what else President Trump has done, he had the RATS come out and try to deny that the State of Georgia was hacked by the someone in the DHL IP address...and other States had the same problem...
This has been put in print, now lets see how the RATS get out of this one...
But we have seen no proof from the Obama administration that the Russians did anything.
Mighty fine popcorn-fodder, were they to do it.
So long as he keeps his mits off the nuclear box thingee.
"James Blonde" was an incompetent yet important Obama inspired operation to reduce the credibility of alleged Russian FSB cooperation with US Law Enforcement in giving advance warning about the Tsarnaev brothers in Boston, by corrupting the FSB agents involved with Tsarnaev surveillance and records.
Coverup.
TWEET from the Russian Embassy, UK:
President Obama expels 35 diplomats in Cold War deja vu. As everybody, incl people, will be glad to see the last of this hapless Adm.

WITH A PICTURE OF A LAME DUCK!!!
If I were Putin...I wouldn’t expel them.
they’d be a “guests” at the Kremlin...
THANK YOU so much for posting this I saw it but did NOT know how to post it, this IS to FUNNY!!!!
Give a spoiled child the reins to do this and all the rest of the dirty tricks he’s done... and you have a child who has no business with that kind of power.
I still look at congress and get so angry at the so called adults in that bunch of cowards who have failed to protect our United States from this lunatic!!
obama is up to no good and being holidays when no one is looking, he can start an attack on us with what all he’s doing.. and we don’t even know what else he has up his sleeve. In 20 days, he can still create havoc. I hope the other countries can plainly see we have this child in control for just a little longer, and take pity on the United States. *sarcasm alert*
The Liberal Messiah’s temper tantrum continues.
They can’t prove it, there is nothing to prove it with...
The RATS are trying to prove the Russians did this by bypassing what happened in the State of Georgia during the election:
The Georgia Secretary of State is demanding answers from the Department of Homeland Security after an unsuccessful breach to the department’s firewall.
Secretary of State Brian Kemp talked exclusively with Channel 2 investigative reporter Aaron Diamant on Thursday, saying he was “mad as hell” after what he called a massive cyberattack on the agency’s network Nov. 15, traced back to a United States Department of Homeland Security IP address.
“It’s outrageous to think about our own federal government is doing this to us,” Kemp told Diamant.
Kemp’s office maintains Georgia’s voter registration and elections data, plus corporate and professional license records.
Kemp told Diamant that the network’s firewall held up and there was no breech. But after the agency’s security vendor sounded the alarm, Kemp fired off a terse letter Thursday to DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson.
“We’re demanding answers to some of these questions, you know? Are they doing this to other states? Was it authorized or not? Who ordered this? Why is it being done and why weren’t we notified?” Kemp said.
By trying to blame the Russians hacking the elections, they are putting blame on someone else instead of themselves....a RAT trick, but Russia just called them on it and nailed Barky’s coffin shut!!!
True, but he'll be lucky to stay out of the stocks when Trump gets in... Now THAT would be a legacy. Just dreamin.... :)
Jackass needs to be arrested today for treason!
