Former Obama administration National Security Council cybersecurity coordinator Michael Daniel confirmed on Wednesday that a "stand down" order was given to counter Russian cyberattacks during the 2016 election.

Daniel was quoted saying to his team that they had to stop working on options to counter the Russian attack: "We've been told to stand down." Prieto is quoted as being "incredulous and in disbelief" and asking, "Why the hell are we standing down?"

The “libs” sure has mighty short memories on certain subjects
 
Also in the midst of all that, obama was on TV making fun of the idea .. Back then, before Trump, the question was why didn’t obama stop it or fix their servers so it could not be hacked..

Then an election came around and the hacking was still ignored by the dems... UNTIL hillary lost..and it was blame Trump full bore
 
Because Hillary was going to win and Obama Phase III would be in place.

The American people and President Trump messed up their Deep State plans.
 
“It’s not like Putin’s going around the world publicly saying ‘look what we did wasn’t that clever.’ He denies it. So the idea somehow that public shaming is gonna be effective I think doesn’t read the thought process in Russia very well.” Obama

Obama confronted Putin and warned him to stop. That's a helluva lot more than Trump has done.

It's like pulling teeth, getting Trump to admit it EVEN HAPPENED. Why is that?

If Obama confronted Putin then how is it the Russians were secretly helping Trump?

WOW


Seriously?

Obama confronted Putin and warned him to stop? Well, I guess Putin didn't heed his warning did he? Why do you think Putin didn't heed Obama's warning?
 
Ironic isn't it?
The only time the msm and Dems go off the leash regarding election results and claim all kinds of improprieties, interference and all 'round hanky-panky is when a Pub wins. :palm:

Your "msm" is under complete corporate state control - all in the hands of half a dozen transnational corporations.

[h=1]McConnell Refused To Sign Bipartisan Statement On Russian Interference[/h]



(In case we forgot)



'Former Vice President Joe Biden says he and President Barack Obama decided not to speak out publicly on Russian interference during the 2016 campaign after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell refused to sign a bipartisan statement condemning the Kremlin's role.

Speaking on Tuesday at the Council on Foreign Relations, Biden said the Obama administration sought a united front to dispel concerns that going public with such accusations would be seen as an effort to undermine the legitimacy of the election.

However, McConnell "wanted no part of having a bipartisan commitment saying, essentially, 'Russia's doing this. Stop,' " he said.

At that point, Biden added, he felt that "the die had been cast" and that "this was all about the political play."

"Can you imagine if the president called a press conference in October, with this fella, Bannon, and company, and said, 'Tell you what: Russians are trying to interfere in our elections and we have to do something about it,' " he said. "Would things have gotten better, or would it further look like we were trying to de-legitimize the electoral process, because of our opponent?"

"Had we known what we knew three weeks later, we may have done something more," Biden added.

McConnell's office disputed Biden's account, as reported by Politico, "pointing to a letter signed by all four congressional leaders in September 2016 and sent to the president of the National Association of State Election Directors, urging cybersecurity precautions in light of reports of attempted hacking."

"That missive, however, did not address Russia specifically, or the larger topic of influence beyond voting systems," Politico writes.

The former vice president's account echoes reporting that first appeared in The Washington Post in June describing a meeting that occurred the same month between Obama's Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, then-FBI Director James Comey, Homeland Security adviser Lisa Monaco and 12 key members of Congress.

In the meeting, the Post reports:

"The Dems were, 'Hey, we have to tell the public,' " recalled one participant. But Republicans resisted, arguing that to warn the public that the election was under attack would further Russia's aim of sapping confidence in the system.

... McConnell (R-Ky.) went further, officials said, voicing skepticism that the underlying intelligence truly supported the White House's claims. Through a spokeswoman, McConnell declined to comment, citing the secrecy of that meeting.

In an interview with NPR in November, Biden was asked by Morning Edition's Rachel Martin if he thought Russia had interfered in the election. "I don't think. I know they did," Biden replied.'>>>
