NSA chief says Trump hasn't told him to confront Russian cyber threat

[Soggy in NOLA]

trump needs to do HIS job.

if he did you would bitch because you dont agree with him.
You nut jobs circle jerks are fucking retarded

nut job jerky boy is you. your post makes no sense.

if traitor trump held russia accountable, then no one would have to disagree with him for not doing so.

our leaders voted overwhelmingly, yet he continues to balk. that is a betrayal to our country.

Your obsession is alarming. We hack them they hack us, it happens every day. Rosentein has emphatically stated that there is no evidence, ZERO, that the Russians had any impact on the outcome of the election.

Let's see, they hack the DNC, the DNC pays for a dossier that is created by Russians and a British agent, that is damaging to Trump, and you think Trump was in bed wit the Russians. Do you see how idiotic that is?

right, the FBI mission is an "obsession".

the grand jury investigation is an "obsession".

and it's an "obsession" to expect an overwhelming vote in the house and senate to be implemented by the president.



whatever you say, soggypants.

trumptard shrugs aren't "alarming" at all.

Washington (CNN)US Cyber Command chief Adm. Mike Rogers told lawmakers on Tuesday that he has not been granted the authority by President Donald Trump to disrupt Russian election hacking operations where they originate.

Asked by Democratic Sen. Jack Reed if he has been directed by the President, through the defense secretary, to confront Russian cyber operators at the source, Rogers said "no I have not" but noted that he has tried to work within the authority he maintains as a commander.

apparently, trumpswabs can't read

I tend to agree with you. I've read a lot from both sides of the issue and am not convinced, Russian actors or hackers played any significant role in the 2016 election. If my memory serves me correct, it was Hillary who started the democrats down this road, whining about losing the election. PS - I voted for Jill Stein.

a dossier that is created by Russians and a British agent, that is damaging to Trump

"created by russians" is a lie straight out of the anti-American troll farm.

opposition research was gathered legally and by reliable sources.

intelligence on team trump was gathered by our own federal agencies doing their jobs

russia "dug up dirt" on hillary and wiki leaks was eagerly on-the-line with donny junior.

trump invoked russia, as he clearly knew they were "listening", to hack SoS emails.

those same emails that partisan trumptards had previously pretended to be so concerned with being classified.

"obsession" is the never ending hillary deflection as if she hasn't been thoroughly investigated resulting in zero indictments.

meanwhile, team traitor indictments are coming in week by week, brick by brick.

tick tock, tick tock, tick tock.

All of Robert Mueller’s indictments and plea deals in the Russia investigation so far

I could have worded that differently. But it is known that much of the info came from Russian sources.

Full transcript: FBI Director James Comey testifies on Russian interference in 2016 election

So We Find Out FBI Has Been Investigating Trump Since July


"The Russian active measures campaign may have begun as early as 2015, when Russian intelligence services launched a series of spear fishing attacks designed to penetrate the computers of a broad array of Washington based Democratic and Republican party organizations, think tanks and other entities. This continued at least through the winter of 2016.

While at first the hacking may have been intended solely for the collection of foreign intelligence. In mid-2016 the Russians weapon eyes the stolen data and used platforms established by the Intel services, such as D.C. leaks in existing third-party channels like WikiLeaks to dump the documents. The stolen documents were almost uniformly damaging to the candidate Putin despised, Hillary Clinton. And by forcing her campaign to constantly respond to the daily drip of disclosures, the releases greatly benefited Donald Trump's campaign.

None of these facts is seriously in question. And they're reflected in the consensus conclusion of our intelligence agencies.

We will never know whether the Russian intervention was determinative in such a close election. Indeed, it is unknowable in a campaign to which so many small changes could have dictated a different result. More importantly, and for the purposes of our investigation, it simply does not matter.

What does matter is this, the Russians successfully meddled in our democracy and our intelligence agencies have concluded they will do so again. Ours is not the first democracy to be attacked by the Russians in this way. Russian intelligence has been simile interfering in the internal and political affairs of our European and other allies for decades.


What is striking here is the degree to which the Russians were willing to undertake such an audacious and risky action against the most powerful nation on Earth. That ought to be a warning to us that if we thought that the Russians would not dare to so blatantly interfere in our affairs, we were wrong.

And if we do not do our very best to understand how the Russians accomplished this unprecedented attack on our democracy and what we need to do to protect ourselves in the future, we will only have ourselves to blame.

We know a lot about the Russian operation, about the way they amplified the damage their hacking and dumping of stolen documents was causing through the use of slick propaganda like R.T., the Kremlin's media arm. But there is a lot we don't know.

Most important, we do not yet know whether the Russians have the help of U.S. citizens including people associated with the Trump campaign. Many of the Trump's campaign personnel, including the president himself, have ties to Russia and Russian interests. This is of course no crime. On the other hand, if the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it aided or abetted the Russians, it would not only be a serious crime, it would also represent one of the most shocking betrayals of democracy in history."

10 Months After Election Day, Feds Tell States More About Russian Hacking

NSA chief says Trump hasn't told him to confront Russian cyber threat - CNNPolitics

What's up with this?? Trump still will not deal with Russia--as they deserve...I'm not into conspiracy theories..but you got to wonder..just what does Putin have on Trump??

US Cyber Command chief Adm. Mike Rogers told lawmakers on Tuesday that he has not been granted the authority by President Donald Trump to disrupt Russian election hacking operations where they originate.
Asked by Democratic Sen. Jack Reed if he has been directed by the President, through the defense secretary, to confront Russian cyber operators at the source, Rogers said "no I have not" but noted that he has tried to work within the authority he maintains as a commander.
While he did not agree with Reed's characterization that the US has been "sitting back and waiting," Rogers admitted that it is fair to say that "we have not opted to engage in some of the same behaviors we are seeing" with regards to Russia.

US intel chiefs unanimous that Russia is targeting 2018 elections
"It has not changed the calculus or the behavior on behalf of the Russians," Rogers said about the US response to Russia's cyber threat to date.
"They have not paid a price that is sufficient to change their behavior," he added.
Reed, D-Rhode Island, also asked FBI Director Christopher Wray, earlier this month whether the efforts to counter Russia's election activities in 2018 had been directed by Trump.
"Not as specifically directed by the President," Wray responded during a hearing at the Senate Intelligence Committee.
On Tuesday, Rogers reiterated that he still views Moscow as a threat to the 2018 elections, a stance that is consistent with what he and other top national security officials told the Senate Intelligence Committee earlier this month.
"We expect Russia to continue using propaganda, social media, false-flag personas, sympathetic spokesmen and other means to influence, to try to build on its wide range of operations and exacerbate social and political fissures in the United States," Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats previously testified.
"There should be no doubt that Russia perceives its past efforts as successful and views the 2018 US midterm elections as a potential target for Russian influence operations," he said.
But that conclusion appears at odds with Trump's repeated dismissals of Russian election meddling.
Trump declared last week that "the facts" prove he's been tougher on Russia than his predecessor, President Barack Obama but it is clear that is not the case -- especially when it comes to punishing Russia for interfering in US elections.

Trump says 'the facts' prove he's tougher on Russia than Obama -- they don't

Trump has yet to levy a single sanction to punish Russia for election interference, despite the fact that Congress almost unanimously passed legislation that took effect on January 29 requiring him to do so, and despite senior intelligence officials testifying that Russia is trying to disrupt the 2018 midterms.
Rogers clearly indicated on Tuesday that the US response to Moscow's interference in the 2016 election has been insufficient and has done little to deter ongoing attacks.
The NSA chief went on to tell lawmakers that the US is smart enough and strong enough to prevent Russian election hacking but admitted not enough is being done.

Get with the Trump program. There is NO Russian interference, and Mike Rodgers is being retired. Nothing here, let's move along folks. (-:

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

You people need to get over it.. elections happen at the state level and the voting apparatuses are not hooked to the internet. There is no way the dastardly Russians could have altered the election results.

 

[Valerie]

He needs to be told to do his job? Are you mental?

apparently he does, and that's the point. did you take the short bus to school?

Well, then he needs to be replaced.

yeah, trump does need to be replaced.

Uhm, I am speaking of the NSA chief... do try and keep up. The election is in 2020, we'll see what happens.

the NSA chief IS doing his job but he's still awaiting further orders from trump who is not doing his job.



for the third time:


"Asked if he has been directed by the President, through the defense secretary, to confront Russian cyber operators at the source, Rogers said "no I have not"

but noted that he has tried to work within the authority he maintains as a commander."

Why would he?
The DNC wont even hand over their servers for the cause.
