CIA's Morell: The Obama regime "did nothing" to stop RU interference in the presidential campaign.
2017-05-25
[Daily Caller] Michael Morell, the former acting director of the CIA under President Obama, said that the Obama administration "did nothing" to stop Russian interference in the presidential campaign.
Why stop it? It's the perfect post-election political exploitation tool. See CIA 'regime change' techniques.
Morell, who left the CIA in 2013 and supported Hillary Clinton for president last year, appeared on "CBS This Morning" to discuss testimony that former CIA Director John Brennan gave in a House Intelligence Committee hearing on Tuesday.

Brennan revealed for the first time that he was so concerned about Russia’s attempts to meddle in the election that he contacted Alexander Bortnikov, Russia’s FSB chief, on Aug. 4 to warn him against continuing its active measures against the U.S.

President Obama is said to have warned Russian president Vladimir Putin the following month against interfering in the election. But the Kremlin appears to have not been deterred.

"What struck me...is that the U.S. government was concerned enough last summer about Russian interference in the election that they had the CIA director make contact with his Russian counterpart and tell them to stop," Morell said Wednesday.

"So my question is what did the Obama administration do after that, after they learned that the warning had fallen on deaf ears," said Morell.

"Well it appears they did nothing," host Norah O’Donnell chimed in.

"It appears they did nothing," Morell agreed.

#6  Yes, Herb, Rich is beginning to look more and more suspicious as are Donna Brazille, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and Hillary Clinton. But the donks knew they could blame the Russians without the MSM ever asking the questions I raised. That's the bitch.

#4  The DNC server wasn't cyber-attacked. Seth Rich leaked the documents and was murdered for his betrayal.

#3  Another red line crossed. Missing from all the coverage about Trump's alleged collusion with the Russians was even the slightest acknowledgement that Baraq Obama had eight years to do something about cyber security and he failed miserably. Also missing was any discussion whatsoever about attempts to make the DNC email server secure from cyber attacks and the question that immediately occurred to me: If these people can't even manage an email server how are they going to run the country?

#2  Heh, I think the following slightly modified quote posted by Besoeker says it all:
"The basic canon of Democrat life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; and the tribe against the world and all of us against the infidel."

#1  Are they turning on each other, or just trying to confuse us?
