President Obama Orders Review of Cyber Attacks On 2016 Election (reuters.com)

President Barack Obama has ordered a full review of hacking activities aimed at disrupting last month's presidential election, media outlets reported Friday citing a top White House official. The results are to be delivered to Obama before he leaves the office. From a report on Reuters: "The president has directed the intelligence community to conduct a full review of what happened during the 2016 election process ... and to capture lessons learned from that and to report to a range of stakeholders, to include the Congress," homeland security adviser Lisa Monaco said during an event hosted by the Christian Science Monitor.

  1. He should review the clinton foundation as well by NotInHere · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    He should be fair and review the criminal acts of both sides, not just of one side. But it shows how biased he is, sadly. 8 years ago, when he ran for president he was a real underdog. Now he is part of the corrupt establishment. Maybe because he couldn't do better and was forced to cooperate with it.

    Their panicky call for censorship is getting louder every day. Suck it up, bitches! You lost, and you deserved it! Be grateful that the opposition didn't win either. Your machine is still intact.

    There's no evidence of mass voter fraud. This is once again a demonstration of how Trump supporters, even in victory, seem very uneasy. Trumpites, such delicate little snowflakes.

    he has ever right to order such a review.

    Before you state something as a fact, you might want to check to see if it is so. A "Right" isn't the correct term, even if it was the correct term, it would require some sort of previous example or court case to outline, neither of which has happened here.

    Further this is 100% contrary to what Obama said here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/...

    Funny how something "mythical" became "real" simply because the Democrats lost an election.

    Shut the fuck up. Trump won. Get over it.

    If you wanted to fucking do anything you should have nominated Sanders. To fucking late now. Go to hell.

    Here's the issue. America rejected trump but the system awarded him the win anyway.
    By simple math the people did want smug correctness over ego soothing batshit crazy.

    Trump won because the system considers city dwellers inferior to country folk. Not because of any sort of ideological superiority.
