Investigate Obama administration over Russia meddling

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders conducts a daily news briefing at the White House on February 13, 2018.

Trump’s admonishment of Sessions also showed the president’s continuing upset that the attorney general removed himself from oversight of the Russian Federation probe because of his own 2016 contacts with Russia’s then-ambassador to Washington, eventually leading to the appointment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller to head the ongoing criminal investigation. Why hasn’t the news media questioned the politicization of law enforcement by the Obama administration?

Trump said he’s tougher on Russian Federation than Obama was – despite the fact that the latter imposed strong sanctions on the Kremlin while he was still in office.

ABC News White House correspondent Jonathan Karl asked Sanders during the White House press briefing about what, specifically, Trump has done to penalize Russian Federation for interfering in the 2016 United States election. And Clinton, not Trump, colluded with Russian Federation.

Battling Foreign Hacking and Propaganda Campaigns Leads Agenda for Secretaries of StateMathew J. Schwartz (euroinfosec) • February 20, 2018 “What we are facing from foreign adversaries, particularly Russian Federation, is real”, DHS official Chris Krebs told secretaries of state this past weekend. Gates has made it clear to prosecutors that he will testify against Manafort. If these Russians were colluding with the Trump campaign, there would be no reason to hide their true identities from multiple campaign officials.

Mueller’s indictment alleged that the Internet Research Agency, a St. Petersburg-based social media company with Kremlin ties, 12 of its employees, and its financial backer orchestrated the effort, writing Internet postings pretending to be Americans commenting on the election and divisive USA issues, all in an effort to undermine us democracy, hurt Clinton’s candidacy and help Trump.

The Vice President of ads Rob Goldman also posted multiple tweets in which he repeatedly said that the company also did not know about Russian Federation interfering in the presidential campaign of 2016 elections using the social media giant until now.

In a stunning indictment announced Friday, Special Counsel Robert Mueller laid out in painstaking detail how a group of paid internet trolls based in St. Petersburg, Russia, worked diligently to “sow discord in the US political system”.

“The president didn’t say Russian Federation didn’t meddle”, Sanders said.

Harbath did not say when Facebook would begin relying on postcard codes but said they would be in use before this year’s midterm congressional elections in November. “Ratio of negative coverage of Trump vs. Clinton: 23:1”, reported The Hill. “The notion that somehow if Mr. Trump loses Florida, it’s because of those people that you have to watch out for, that is both irresponsible and, by the way, doesn’t really show the kind of leadership and toughness that you want out of a president”, he said. “We’re going to continue doing things like that”, Sanders said. Mark Zuckerberg’s social network has been in the hot seat since it was revealed that Russian trolls abused Facebook – as well as rival platforms Twitter and Google-owned YouTube – to meddle in the election and sow discord among Americans.

The President, who has brazenly called for warmer relations with Moscow while downplaying the extent of Russian meddling, has denied any such connection. Almost eight months later, the Kremlin responded by kicking out 755 USA diplomats.

The White House’s top economist said Wednesday the US could achieve annual growth rates of 3 percent through the next decade if President Donald Trump’s policies on regulations and infrastructure are enacted. “But I think we also get hacked by other countries and other people”. “That is the responsibility of the shooter certainly not the responsibility of anybody else”, Sanders said. Even as we speak, Donald Trump could be filling our government with Russian operatives, much like he did his campaign, and they, in turn, could be hiring others, so Putin will still have influence over the inner-workings of our government regardless to what happens to Trump.
