Thanks, this drives a wooden stake in the where the Russia/Russia vampire’s heart would be:

Neither former President Barack Obama nor any member of his cabinet warned state election officials of any Russian effort to hack or interfere with the country’s electoral systems, according to the president of the National Association of Secretaries of State. “We did ask,” Denise Merrill, Connecticut secretary of state and the association’s top official, told The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group Wednesday.

“And over-and-over again, they did say there was no credible threat that they had found. And they said that right through the election, and the next administration reiterated that. Over and over again when we asked, we were told there was no actual threat that they knew of,” Merrill said.

Asked if there were any private briefings for state election officials on possible Russian interference prior to the November 2016 voting, Merrill said, “No. We were not briefed on any of that. We were not told in advance.”

Merrill also claimed the Obama administration failed to take state officials aside about a potential or real Russian threat to election machinery.

Comey’s trying to build his case on how he took Trump’s ‘hope’ as an ‘order’...though it wasn’t.

He just said he...” didn’t have the presence of mind!”

Secretaries of State for each state are crucial here-—b/c they control an
elections ins and outs.....particularly if there are any threats to the process.

A REAL president would have known that.
