The Obama administration is close to announcing a series of measures to punish Russia for its interference in the 2016 presidential election, including economic sanctions and diplomatic censure, according to U.S. officials. The administration is still finalizing the details, which are also expected to include covert action that likely will involve cyber operations, the officials said. An announcement on the public elements of the response could come as early as this week.

The sanctions part of the package culminates weeks of debate in the White House about how to revise an executive order from last year meant to give the president authority to respond to cyberattacks from overseas, but which did not originally cover efforts to influence the electoral system.



Wonder when he's going to respond to cyber attacks on our election based at DHS?

It's a bit useless at this point. Putin will just order Trump to roll back any penalties.

In all seriousness, is Obama one of the three worst presidents of all time?

Buchanan seems to be only other one who left the country more divided when leaving office.

What a jackass. We all know Brennan is in the tank with him and no one can believe a word out of their mouths.

So what will TOTUS do? Send them gazillions in money like he did Iran? Or draw some red line in the sand and lecture like anyone but his minority marxist loving followers; gives a flying fudge pop what he says.

Imagine the surprise on the hackers face when the head of the DNC changes his password through his phishing email.

I doubt the US has guys out all over the world trying to pry into and meddle with foreign politics, I know we are above influencing foreign or domestic elections... (sarcasm)

How many times does Julian Assange have to say that he didn't get the info from Russia? 15? 25? Just put a number on it and we'll go from there.

Obama will go way overboard on this to try to set trump of for criticism and to look involved if he rolls them back.
