State Dept. Hasn’t Spent $120 Million Designated For Blocking Russia Meddling

State Dept. Was Granted $120 Million to Fight Russian Meddling. It Has Spent $0.

I guess our Govt. feels that there's no need to use this money as lawmakers intended?


"The State Department has not yet spent any of the $120 million that was to be allocated toward combatting foreign interference in elections, the New York Times reported Sunday.

Toward the end of former President Barak Obama’s administration, Congress voted to direct the Pentagon to give the State Department $60 million for combatting Russian and Chinese “anti-democratic propaganda,” according to the Times. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson took nearly seven months to decide what to do with the funding and the Pentagon ultimately decided to keep it. The Department had another $60 million available for the next fiscal year, but decided last week to only take $40 million, the Times reported.

That money will reportedly be transferred to the State Department and its Global Engagement Center in April, which will counter Russian meddling efforts with anti-propaganda counter-attacks. Currently, the Global Engagement Center doesn’t have someone who speaks Russian on the team and it is primarily focused on countering jihadist and other forms of extreme propaganda, according to the Times.

The news of the unspent millions comes as National Security Agency director Adm. Mike Rogers told the Senate armed services committee last week that President Donald Trump has not yet directed his department to work to thwart Russian cyber threats to the 2018 election."

I see..no comment..since I guess you don't have the intellectual capacity to actually debunk or refute this..just sling some poo and move on. It is your hallmark, after all. Empty insult..and no substantive reply. If I found a different link..would it matter? No, of course not. But here..the original article:

State Dept. Was Granted $120 Million to Fight Russian Meddling. It Has Spent $0.

"The delays have infuriated some members of Congress, which approved the funding transfer with bipartisan support."

Are you saying that the fact is untrue? Well, of course not...but actually responding might require you to explain why..and we can't have that, now can we?

It doesn't make much sense anyway. In a lame duck Hussein administration congress told the Pentagon to award the state dept 60 million for a job they were not equipped to address so the money went back to the Pentagon. It sounds about right. In the mean time the FBI is out chasing political enemies and God only knows what the hell the CIA is doing.

BTW..not everyone is is all "inside baseball' with the rest of you losers--I just posted the story..If it is untru, I'd deserve some scorn....but, of course..it's true...so you have nothing.

Foreign offensive operations require explicit permission from National Command Authority..The President. This link was more about the fact that the Trump administration is deliberately stalling on any sort of push-back against Russia..despite the will of Congress and that the money for this is going unspent.

Dufus, State Department does not do law enforcement.

But the FBI does. And now we know they were too busy attempting to corrupt the 2016 election.

I thought you go to the FISA court with made up shit and get a warrant to spy on americans.

 

[The Original Tree]

That’s because Russia is still helping The Democrat Party disrupt our Democracy and Obstruct and interfere in this Administration’s Policy Implementations..

Why would The State Department do anything to Russia that would prevent them from sowing discord in America when The State Department was working with Russia to undermine our elections?

You really aren't very smart, are you?

These were funds meant for use by the State Dept. in anti-propaganda efforts against Russia.

And hilarious you think its OK for our government to interfere in the elections of other governments.

Uh..hello...the election is over---time to move on---and ask why the President ignores the will of the Congress..and is dragging his feet on imposing sanctions and ensuring that Russia pays the price.
