The Obama White House’s chief cyber official testified Wednesday that proposals he was developing to counter Russia’s attack on the U.S. presidential election were put on a “back burner” after he was ordered to “stand down” his efforts in the summer of 2016.

They came during a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing into how the Obama administration dealt with Russian cyber and information warfare attacks in 2016, an issue that has become one of the more politically sensitive subjects in the panel’s ongoing investigation into Russia’s interference in the U.S. election and any links to the Trump campaign.

No, he just thought it was no big deal (and it really wasn't). A few Russians in their basements posting on social media. Obama didn't want to escalate tensions with Russia over such a small issue.

Remember, Obama himself said "There's no way anyone could rig an election." And he was on record saying he was sure Hillary would win. If there was a Russian operation in favor of Trump, Obama sure thought it would have zero effect on the outcome. (He was right, it didn't).

Now, AFTER the election on the other hand, Russia became the villain.

Didn't want the cyber chief to figure out who was pretending to be Russians interfering with our election process.
