| Frustrated Dems say Obama 'botched' Russia response (Video) |
| 2017-06-24 |
| [The Hill] The Obama administration is under fresh scrutiny for its response to Russian meddling in the election after new details emerged this week about how the White House weighed its actions against the 2016 political environment. Then-President Obama was too cautious in the months leading up to the election, frustrated Democratic lawmakers and strategists say. "It was inadequate. I think they could have done a better job informing the American people of the extent of the attack," said Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), a member of the House Intelligence Committee who co-chairs the Democratic Steering and Policy Committee. And even after the election was over, they say, the penalties Obama levied were too mild to appropriately punish what by all accounts was an unprecedented attack on a U.S. election. |

| #7 Well, fine. How about we charge the entire Obama admin including him with treason, have swift and prompt trials, followed by their punishment. That's what they want for failing to protect the country from our enemies, right? Let's just start there. |

| #5 The real scandal is that Baraq had eight years to do something about cyber security and he failed I'll argue that he and his people were doing as many run-arounds on US cyber security during that time as foreign actors, if not more. |

| #4 Forget the response. The real scandal is that Baraq had eight years to do something about cyber security and he failed. Any computer system administrator who ever checks his logs can tell you the Chinese, Russians, Ukrainians, Turks, Iranians and everybody else are launching cyber attacks over the Internet every hour of every day. This has been going on for years. You can whine and cry all you want about their attempts to hack us but what about our own government's failure to do anything about it? |

| #3 Soetero, like the other Dems thought they had the election in the bag (it was rigged) and that Hillary was the inevitable POTUS so they didn't think they had to do anything--no sense in hairing up the butter. |
