CIA report too sensitive for daily briefing report ...
Very interesting read.
Obama’s secret struggle to punish Russia for Putin’s election assault
Funniest thing yet from the latest Democratic Party debacle. Obama knew all about it but was afraid to act!
See, Siete?

From the link:
Over that five-month interval, the Obama administration secretly debated dozens of options for deterring or punishing Russia, including cyberattacks on Russian infrastructure, the release of CIA-gathered material that might embarrass Putin and sanctions that officials said could “crater” the Russian economy.
But in the end, in late December,
Obama approved a modest package combining measures that had been drawn up to punish Russia for other issues — expulsions of 35 diplomats and the closure of two Russian compounds — with economic sanctions so narrowly targeted that even those who helped design them describe their impact as largely symbolic.
He dithered for 5 months.
