Obama shrugs off Russian hacking -- until Donald Trump elected president - Washington Times

[h=1]Obama shrugs off Russian hacking — until Donald Trump elected president[/h]
[FONT=&quot]Foreign governments have launched numerous cyberattacks on the U.S. government and sensitive industrial sites, but Republicans say President Obama has not responded in a forceful way to years of Russian hacking.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]A more assertive response might have headed off the type of hacking Russia is accused of launching during the presidential election, they say.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Russia, whose supposed cyberoffensive now is generating a Democratic Party movement that would delegitimize the incoming presidency of Donald Trump, has hacked Pentagon systems. In 2014 it penetrated computer networks at the White House and the State Department. Neither the White House nor the mainstream media reacted with any great alarm.

Questions:

1. why did Obama and the Democrat party not care up until Trump was elected?

2. Why did the media, simply not care in 2014 that the Russians hacked the pentagon and state department. why didn't the obama admin show concern?

Obama and Congress Knew About Russian Hacking?And They Did Nothing - The Daily Beast

Now, it has come to light that senior Members of Congress had been briefed in September on the pervasive Russian threat to the core functioning of our democracy. Obama dispatched FBI director James Comey, DHS Secretary Jeh Johnston, and White House counterterrorism and homeland security advisor Lisa Monaco to brief the so-called “Gang of 12” lawmakers: House & Senate leaders, as well as the chairmen and ranking members on the Homeland Security and Intelligence Committee.

They knew. And yet it appears little was done to stop Vladimir Putin’s efforts to put Donald Trump in the White House.

Explain this.... why suddenly are we worried about russians? [/FONT]

Why even ask? We know the answer. At the time, he was most likely told it was no big deal. And it still isn't. But in order to get the impeachment wheels greased, any and everything will be thrown against the wall.

Re: Obama shrugs off Russian hacking — until Donald Trump elected president

Questions:

1. why did Obama and the Democrat party not care up until Trump was elected?

Firstly, it was very much pointed out and discussed that the Russians were doing this prior to the election before he was elected. Obama clearly had to make a judgement call. If he pushed to hard it would seem as though he's interfering with an election. He thought at the time that there's very littl chance of Trump winning so he erred on the side of "lets let this be public but not scream it from the roof tops on a daily basis." Again, it was a judgement call that I really don't understand how you have such a hard time understanding.

2. Why did the media, simply not care in 2014 that the Russians hacked the pentagon and state department. why didn't the obama admin show concern?

They reported on it. But the media follows juicy stories. Some system getting hacked isn't nearly as juicy as a system getting hacked in order to interfere with an election and in the favor of the candidate that just won and has a bunch of very questionable ties that are just now coming out to the country that did the hacking. Again, the answer is plain as day to anyone willing to spend a second to think about it.

As far as the Obama admin, why wouldn't the president want to publicize that we had info hacked? Hmm./

This is a very interesting answer. so your argument is, that because trump had very little winning, Russian hacking was unimportant. but once he one, it's now a huge matter that we must get to the bottom of?

Your entire thread is based upon falsehood.
HRC herself was calling Trump "Putin's Puppet" during the debates.

So your argument is what? That he didn't want the appearance of trying to influence the election in some way? Yet he campaigned for Clinton, more than he worked for the American People last year. I think the truth is - he never, ever saw the win. Had he foreseen the win in advance, he would have stopped at nothing to help save the party and Hillary. Barack Obama was so busy thinking he was God's gift to the people that he underestimated the power of the people.

Obama has literally zero to do with what I said. Russian interference in the election was one of the, if not the biggest topic revolving around this election season.

Even if Obama downplayed it/ignored it, that does not mean it wasn't a huge topic before Trump was elected POTUS.

Notice how I wasn't referring to the title of your thread, rather my previous post.

Obama has nothing to do with what I said in my post. The fact of the matter is, Russian interference was already a big topic before Trump won the election.

So acting like the Democratic Party didn't care about it at all is just false.

I could reword 1. to "until he became a legitimate threat".


other than that I stand by the op.

Yea, that's not what I said. You and I both have no idea what was done behind the scenes. But the more they scream about it in public the more distrust we create in our electoral process. We also didn't know as much then as we do now.

It seems that you aren't interested in any kind of honest discussion. Can't say I'm surprised. Have fun.

Re: Obama shrugs off Russian hacking — until Donald Trump elected president

it wasnt that long ago the alt-reich wing was insistent that there was no russian hacking/involvement
the typical refrain from that echo chamber was that allegations of russian hacking were bogus and intended to provide hillary an edge in the elections

Next time, instead of posting something absurd then running away, perhaps just don't post in the first place. *shrug*

You seriously can't be asking such a dumb question. I almost refuse to believe it.

There's a difference between campaigning and seemingly using your office to attack a political candidate with investigations. These are very different things. He didn't want it to appear as if he was using the FBI/CIA or whatever to dig up dirt on Trump. Therefor alot of what was dug up was kept private and they simply alerted americans of what we know happened. But since then alot of other info has been made public making this whole situation that much more questionable.

Initially it had nothing to do with Trump. The leftists used the 'Russia' boogeyman to ignore the exposure of the content of the DNC emails.




Since the election, the leftists have done any and everything they can to try to de-legitimize Trumps election. Its nothing more than a ploy.

Remember...THIS was the rat assclowns response to Russia prior to 2016...
