| Here's who gave the ‘Stand Down' order on countering Putin's election hacking |
| 2018-03-12 |
| [Right Scoop] So according to a new book coming out soon, the Obama administration knew that there was Putin hacking on our election in 2018, but when our sooper-smart counter-hackers mounted an attack against their Siberian krokodil-addicted doping keyboard-jockeys, they were told to STAND DOWN. Skipping the Susan Rice "Stand Down' order insert which we've already read. Now the book is Russian Roulette: The Inside Story of Putin’s War on America and the Election of Donald Trump, by Michael Isikoff and David Corn, who is a foul wretched liberal. So I think we should take it with a grain of salt. But on the other hand I could totally see it being accurate ‐ as a conservative, my best known principle is that government is utterly incompetent. And if that’s the case, then I could definitely see them backing down because they honestly thought Hillary had it in the bag and they didn’t need to push back against Putin.

| #1 .....government is utterly incompetent. "Incompetent?" No, not at all. (1.) It was the 'no-cost' strategic "insurance" necessary to validate the Trump electronic monitoring effort and gain the assistance of foreign intelligence services. (2.) In the unlikely event of a Trump victory, discredit and invalidate a potential Trump win and bring charges of Russian collusion agains key Trump staff members and possibly Trump himself. (3.) Provide political projection as a cover for action for their own Uranium One misdeeds. Classic counterintelligence exploitation, and a strategy well beyond the planning and capabilities of the DNC or the scatter brained Debbie Wasserman Schultz. |
