NSA Leaks Contradict What Obama Promised The Public About Russia’s Election Meddling
"Leaked NSA documents revealing that Russia engaged in election-related hacking efforts just days before the election directly contradict what former President Barack Obama told the American public.
Speaking at a year-end news conference in December, Obama told the public that Russian interference in the election ceased after he told Russian President Vladimir Putin to “cut it out” in early September. Russia’s cyberattacks stopped after warnings of “serious consequences” if they continued, Obama said.
“The president made it sound like that worked,” The New York Times reported at the time, noting Obama’s claim that “we did not see further tampering of the election process.”
But NSA documents published by The Intercept on Monday revealed that as late as October 31 or November 1, hackers launched an election-related spearfishing operation “targeting U.S. local government organizations.”
In other words, Russia was still tampering with the American electoral process after Obama said they ceased doing so. The documents’ authenticity have been confirmed by U.S. officials.."
Obama bragged how he stepped up, told Putin to back off, and the supposed interference / Russian hacking stopped...yet the truth is Putin did not hesitate to ignore Barry, and the attempted hacking continued.
This pretty much kills the snowflake delusion /fiction that anyone - to include our enemies - took Barry seriously when he thumped his chest and threatened them. Barry's Syrian Red Line had already showed them he wasn't going to do shit.
