Hillary Clinton Rips Trump for Inaction on Cyber Threats: 'The Russians Are Still Coming'

Source: Mediate




by Lawrence Bonk | 11:33 am, February 28th, 2018

Failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton went after President Donald Trump today, accusing him of inaction regarding the looming threat of Russia and their insistence on interfering in our elections.

The remarks came via a tweet, in which she also linked to a story by The Washington Post that quotes Admiral Michael S. Rogers, the commander of the U.S. Cyber Command, saying that the president has given him no instructions to go after Russian cyber-threats.




Clinton cited her time as Secretary of State as proof of her expertise on the matter.

“I say this as a former Secretary of State and as an American: the Russians are still coming,” she wrote. “Our intelligence professionals are imploring Trump to act. Will he continue to ignore & surrender, or protect our country?”

I have never doubted your loyalty to the US, nor you abilities and knowledge to make a difference. Next time around, listen to your patriotic, but financially challenged advisers, imo.

First up, I have close ties to the midwest. Are you the spokeperson for those who support Eric Holder, President and Mrs. Obama and a Democratic Party united to defeat rump and his sycophants in 2018?

Might be the broadcast frequency of the message is too high for human ears. Or terran.

My first thought was that it was yet another attempt to blame the woman who won the most votes for not winning the covertly damaged, usurped, illegitimate election. Two or three readings later, I still ain't got no clue wtf it is. The only mind-altering substance I have on hand is some Jack Daniels, and I don't want to waste it on trying to decipher that message.

Yes Mrs. Clinton, what can I do to stop these thugs? I would appreciate your leadership regarding counter cyber attacks against that vile, most ugly man in the Kremlin.

Yesterday he launched his 2020 re-election bid. Hell - he's been campaigning since he took office. His Party of Repugs won't push him on his inaction because both Trump and the Repugs have a common interest. They want Russia to interfere in 2018 and 2020 because they want to retain their power base.

They are aiding and abetting the enemy in this cyberwar. In my opinion - this is treason.

a) Enlistment Oath.— Each person enlisting in an armed force shall take the following oath:
"I, (state name of enlistee), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."

Have we been checkmated?

It begins with a pointed shot, then makes her look hysterical. Can't rec, because I don't much care for an article that makes a popular vote champion who lost due to Russian interference and intense media bias look like an utter disaster.

Given that SHE herself was invited to be hacked by the same forces who turned her into a "failed candidate", the wording is quite galling.

We are too fixated on the next insane vomit that comes out of this pig’s mouth to be concerned with the incoming sunami that is rolling into our democracy.

Every pundit is too busy talking about the latest insane garbage that pops out of the orange Mussolini’s pie hole. No extra moments to spare on the upcoming elections the Russians are focused on.

Nation of morons. We are getting ONLY what we deserve. “Quick! Look at that shiny thing over there!...idiots.”
