President Obama has ordered a “full review” of Russian hacking during the November election, as pressure from Congress has grown for greater public understanding of exactly what Moscow did to interfere in the electoral process.

“We may have crossed into a new threshold, and it is incumbent upon us to take stock of that, to review, to conduct some after-action, to understand what has happened and to impart some lessons learned,” Obama’s counterterrorism and homeland-security adviser, Lisa Monaco, told reporters at a breakfast hosted by the Christian Science Monitor.

Obama wants the report before he leaves office on Jan. 20, Monaco said.

On Oct. 7, the intelligence community officially accused Moscow of seeking to interfere in the election through the hacking of “political organizations.” Though the statement never specified which party, it was clear officials were referring to cyber-intrusions into the computers of the Democratic National Committee and other Democratic Party groups. Hacked emails that were damaging to the party and its presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton, soon after appeared on websites such as WikiLeaks.

The intelligence-community statement said such leaks were “consistent” with the methods and motivations of Russian-directed efforts. “We believe, based on the scope and sensitivity of these efforts, that only Russia’s senior-most officials could have authorized these activities,” the statement said.

A question.... the US has been hacking Russia, Germany, and China for years. In fact, the Pentagon came right out and said that the "U.S. military hackers have penetrated Russia's electric grid, telecommunications networks and the Kremlin's command systems, making them vulnerable to attack by secret American cyber weapons should the U.S. deem it necessary, according to a senior intelligence official and top-secret documents reviewed by NBC News." http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/u-s-hackers-ready-hit-back-if-russia-disrupts-election-n677936 The second thing.... everything released about Killary and the DNC were true.....

I hope they go for their investigation and I hope that Russia returns the favor.... time for the curtains on everything to be pulled back~! Pull all the dirt from the corners and out from under the rugs... let us see how dirty the administration along with Killary and our President elect actually are....

"US cybersecurity experts claim that six out of eight IP addresses used by the DNC hackers were hosted on King Servers, a Russian provider. Vladimir Fomenko, owner of the company, told RT that he was never contacted by US law enforcement, however.

“We are ready to assist in probing this crime and consulting the FBI or other services on such issues. Hackers are a common threat and we must fight it together,” Fomenko said.

“If the FBI asks, we are ready to supply the IP addresses, the logs,” he said. “Nobody is asking… It’s like nobody wants to sort this out.”

My last question.... Why is obama trying so hard to start WWIII?

PeterS

No crying here Willy. Just enjoying watching you cons being exposed for the phony POS's you are...

Why will this start WWIII? If half the people of this country don't care if the Russians determine who is the president of this country why would the Russians think such exposure would start a war?

How did they interfere? Did they stuff ballot boxes? Did they prevent anyone from voting? So far there has been investigation into four states and votes.... there are no remarkable changes to what was reported on election night. Other than Michigan, which has demonstrated their lackadaisical attitude in both counting and storing ballots, especially in Detroit area where Killlary had the largest voter base. http://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/politics/2016/12/05/recount-unrecountable/95007392/ There is no evidence of tampering with machines by Russians... so tell me exactly how the Russians interfered with the elections. If anyone hacked systems.... it was Homeland Security..... or at least in the case of Georgia...."Georgia's secretary of state says the state was hit with an attempted hack of its voter registration database from an IP address linked to the federal Department of Homeland Security." Going on, you will see that DHS actually ran scans on voter machines before, during, and after the elections... "To prevent possible tampering, the DHS was working with some states on protecting their election systems. Among the services the agency was offering were "cyber hygiene scans.” These scans were conducted remotely and designed to identify vulnerabilities in election-related online systems, DHS said."http://www.pcworld.com/article/3148710/security/georgia-says-its-traced-an-attempted-voter-hack-to-dhs.html So..... Russians or our very own DHS?
