This "deep dive" announcement by the White House includes statements to indicate 2008 and 2012 are also to be considered for "malicious cyber activity" by Russians affecting those elections. Isn't that interesting? So . . . this administration has been sitting on 8 years worth of this intelligence, now has a third sample - so they claim - and chooses only now, obviously because the outcome wasn't to their liking, to go after the Russians for cyber malfeasance.
It wasn't long ago the media conditioned the public to understand what a poor President looks like for failing to act on intelligence. This was their effort against George Bush for intelligence and few months available to him in advance of 9-11. So . . . behold.
However, what you have here is not an 8 month timeframe, but 8 years, so the better comparison, indeed, would be to what failed - miserably - to not happen after the Feb. 1993 attack on the WTC, one month after Bill Clinton become President. For 8 full years he did nothing about it and it happened again. So now, we have Obama, who be all appearances knew that the Russians were hacking away at the election that made him president but did nothing, knew they did it again when he was re-elected yet again did nothing, vilified Donald Trump for being the only candidate who continually doubted the integrity of the 2016 election process, and then after a third example of Russian hacking into a presidential election decides enough is enough???
Bullshit . . . these actions were warranted immediately after the very first occurrence, yet did not because the result was favorable. These actions would not be happening now were it not for the fact that Donald Trump has been elected. So, every one of us should - again - be thankful . . . without the election of Donald Trump, the current President of the United States would have continued to allow the Russians to pilfer away at us. He has given us his proof, going back to 2008 - he knew it. Also, and this is important . . . in 2012 he vilified Mitt Romney for suggesting that Russia was not an ally. What was Obama? What is treason?
