Obama Team Was Warned about Russian Interference in the U.S. 2016 Election and Did Nothing

ONCE AGAIN WE ARE WITNESS TO THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION DOING NOTHING AGAINST A FOREIGN THREAT …

As reported at The Politico, in 2014, the Barack Obama administration got a report of Russia’s intention to disrupt Western democracies, including the United States. So why would the Obama administration act so surprised when Russians did try to disrupt the elections? They knew all along and did nothing. Yet, you will hear from the Obama sycophants and apologists that they did. Hmm, how did that work out? They didn’t seem to want to make waves because Hillary Clinton was going to win. Then, Trump stuns her in the 2016 presidential election and all of the Russian conspiracy and collusion is pointed at him. Yet it was under Obama, that nothing was done to prevent such interference. Where was the transparency in all this? It was just another example of failure during the eight years of Barack Obama.

The Obama administration received multiple warnings from national security officials between 2014 and 2016 that the Kremlin was ramping up its intelligence operations and building disinformation networks it could use to disrupt the U.S. political system, according to more than half a dozen current and former officials.

As early as 2014, the administration received a report that quoted a well-connected Russian source as saying that the Kremlin was building a disinformation arm that could be used to interfere in Western democracies. The report, according to an official familiar with it, included a quote from the Russian source telling U.S. officials in Moscow, “You have no idea how extensive these networks are in Europe … and in the U.S., Russia has penetrated media organizations, lobbying firms, political parties, governments and militaries in all of these places.”

That report was circulated among the National Security Council, intelligence agencies, and the State Department via secure email and cable in the spring of 2014 as part of a larger assessment of Russian intentions in Ukraine, the official said.

There was no explicit warning of a threat to U.S. elections, but the official said some diplomats and national-security officials in Moscow felt the administration was too quick to dismiss the possibility that the Kremlin incursions could reach the United States.

Ned Price, a former spokesperson for the National Security Council, rejected the idea that the administration failed to heed warnings about Russian interference in the U.S. political system or Russian cyberespionage in general.

“The Obama administration was nothing but proactive in responding to Russian aggression in all of its forms, especially as Moscow became more brazen with and following its military moves against Ukraine beginning in 2014,” Price said, citing sanctions and increased American support to NATO as evidence of the former administration’s seriousness.

But subsequent events — including Russia’s interference in the American election through hacks of the emails of the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, among other intrusions identified by U.S. intelligence — have left many in the former administration wondering if they could have done more.

“People have criticized us … for not coming out more forcefully and saying it,” former CIA Director John Brennan said at the Aspen National Forum in July. “There was no playbook for this.”

It all goes back to President Obama’s meeting with outgoing Russian President Medevev when he was caught on an open mike stating of his ability to deal with relations between the U.S. and Russia, saying he would have more flexibility after the election. Who was colluding with Russia?

President Donald Trump Says … Military Solutions “Locked and Loaded” against North Korea Threat

LOCKED & LOADED!!!

President Donald Trump says that American military solutions are “locked and loaded” against the North Korea threats. President Trump tweeted Friday morning, ”Military solutions are now fully in place, locked and loaded, should North Korea act unwisely. Hopefully Kim Jong Un will find another path!” Look for the liberal MSM to discuss the words “locked & loaded” all day instead of the actual threat that a foreign country is making against the United States of America and its citizens. Make no mistake about it, Donald Trump is not Obama. If he says “locked and loaded” that is what he means. He will, not like Obama, draw a faux line in the sand and retreat from it. If North Korea is stupid enough to initiate a missile attack, they will be dealt with severely. Even China has stated that they will remain neutral if North Korea acts first. Trump is obviously looking for a diplomatic way to end this crisis, but some times a dictator only knows fear, threats and force.

President Donald Trump issued another warning to North Korea on Friday with a reference to American weapons as being “locked and loaded.”

“Military solutions are now fully in place, locked and loaded, should North Korea act unwisely. Hopefully Kim Jong Un will find another path!” Trump wrote on Twitter, a day after his defense secretary said the United States was ready to counter any threat from Pyongyang.

Look what has happened as the economy, jobs and the stock market have made advances and President Trump provides strong leadership in the situation with North Korea, his poll numbers are up to 45%.

NBC Reporter Andrea Mitchell Gets Destroyed by State Dept Spox Heather Nauert On Trump’s Threat To North Korea (VIDEO)

MSM GETS DESTROYED … MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN!!!

During yesterdays presser, State Dept Spokesperson Heather Nauert reminded the liberal MSM exactly really what is alarming and it was not the comments made by President Donald Trump regarding, “fire and fury”.   The MSM acts as if a country making the threat of a nuclear attack is perfectly ok and should not be responded to. Nauert actually had to scold and lecture the media as to the gravity of the situation going on with North Korea as the MSM just wants to play silly season and attack Trump.  Sorry, the Obama days are over of apologies to our enemies and drawing faux lines in the sand. There is a reason why Trump was elected by the American people and the MSM still cannot stand it. The days of kicking the can down the road with North Korea, as other presidents have done of both parties, are over.

“Let’s consider what is alarming,” State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said. “What is alarming: two ICBM tests in less than a month, two nuclear tests that took place last year.”

“It is a big deal what is going on,” she added. “It is a concern to the world, not just the United States. Those are alarming actions, they’re provocative actions on the part of North Korea.”

“The United States is on the same page,” she said. “Whether it’s the White House, the State Department, the Department of Defense, we are speaking with one voice, and the world is, in fact, speaking with one voice.”

North Korea Says Seriously Considering plan to Strike Guam … Not Buying It, Would be the End of North Korea

GUAM???

According to Reuters, North Korea said on Wednesday it is “carefully examining” plans for a missile strike on the U.S. Pacific territory of Guam. Really Guam? In response to this so-called threat, Fox News reported that two U.S Air Force B-1B bombers, under the command of the U.S. Pacific Air Forces, joined counterparts from South Korea and Japan in strategic bilateral missions. Sorry, but I am not buying it. GUAM? No disrespect to Guam, but does Kim Jong Un and North Korea really want to become a parking lot by attacking Guam? Its like playing Texas Hold em and going all in with a 3-9 off-suit. I find that hard to believe. If North Korea ever used nuclear weapons, it would be the end of North Korea.

North Korea said on Wednesday it is “carefully examining” plans for a missile strike on the U.S. Pacific territory of Guam, just hours after U.S. President Donald Trump told the North that any threat to the United States would be met with “fire and fury”.

North Korea has made no secret of plans to develop a nuclear-tipped missile able to strike the United States and has ignored international calls to halt its nuclear and missile programs.

The strike plan would be put into practice at any moment once leader Kim Jong Un makes a decision, a spokesman for the Korean People’s Army (KPA) said in a statement carried by the North’s state-run KCNA news agency.

“The KPA Strategic Force is now carefully examining the operational plan for making an enveloping fire at the areas around Guam with medium-to-long-range strategic ballistic rocket Hwasong-12 in order to contain the U.S. major military bases on Guam including the Anderson Air Force Base,” the spokesman said.

Judas and Never-Trumper Sen.John McCain (Rino-AZ) Takes Exception to President Trump’s “Fire and Fury” Remarks

MCCAIN, GO HOME, STAY THERE, JUST LEAVE, WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR NEVER-TRUMP BS …

How sad that John McCain has become the face of the resistance.  Imagine that, hawk Sen. John McCain (Rino-AZ) takes exception to President Donald Trump’s tough talk toward North Korea and its dictator. McCain said that the tough rhetoric is unlikely to help as tensions rise between the United States and North Korea. Oh really John, because pussy-footing around with them has done such wonders. Once again we are presented with a Republican establishment, Never-Trumper who takes every opportunity to attack Trump, rather than support him. This is what the US Senate has become. Like McConnell, McCain just leave! It is said that you have the likes of John McCain so quick to pull the carpet out from underneath President Trump. Then again, not like he didn’t do it previously by voting against the repeal of Obamacare.

“Fire and Fury” is not the first option, but it may be the only option. Would McCain and his ilk rather have the United States acting in a reactionary manner after a nuclear missile is launched against the US by North Korea? I am sure they would find other ways to blame Trump.

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) took exception to President Trump’s remarks Tuesday that further provocation by North Korea will be met “with fire and fury like the world has never seen.”

McCain argued the tough rhetoric is unlikely to help as tensions rise between the United States and North Korea over the latter’s nuclear program.

“I don’t know what he’s saying and I’ve long ago given up trying to interpret what he says,” McCain said of Trump during an interview with a local Arizona radio station first reported by NBC.

“That kind of rhetoric, I’m not sure how it helps.”

McCain said the U.S. risks getting into a serious confrontation with North Korea, and invoked former President Teddy Roosevelt’s famous “big stick” policy.

“In other words, the old walk softly but carry a big stick, Teddy Roosevelt’s saying, which I think is something that should’ve applied because all it’s going to do is bring us closer to a serious confrontation,” McCain warned. “I think this is very, very, very serious.”
