US Treasury Sanctions 16 Russians For Hacking, Election Meddling (engadget.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Engadget: The Treasury Department has leveled sanctions against 16 current and former GRU intelligence officers (some of whom were targeted in earlier indictments) for their involvement in multiple campaigns against the U.S., including the Democratic National Committee hacks, World Anti-Doping Agency hacks and election meddling efforts. The targets include Elena Khusyaynova, the primary accountant for the Project Lakhta influence campaign that included the Internet Research Agency. The sanctions also target associated entities like the Federal News Agency.
As with the indictments, the sanctions will only have a limited effect. The measure blocks all property and interests from these people that might be in U.S. jurisdictions, and Americans are "generally prohibited" from conducting transactions with them. The targets live in Russia, though, and it's doubtful that they'll travel to countries where the sanctions will hit them. This is more a symbolic gesture than one intended to curb Russian hacks and manipulation attempts.

Flynn: no lawyers in his multiple FBI interviews
Hillary!: nine lawyers in her one FBI interview, no notes by FBI allowed
Flynn: failed to register as a foreign agent while he was a private citizen
Hillary!: made millions via Clinton Foundation from Russia while she was Secretary of State approving Uranium One deal.
Flynn: going to jail
Hillary!: Free despite setting up a private email server, almost certainly hacked by multiple foreign intelligence services, and putting classified data on it. Free despite having her uncleared maid handle top secret information. Free despite directing subordinate to remove classification markings and send classified data via her insecure email.
ALL those stories were created by the Russians to discredit Clinton to get Trump elected. I cannot believe you're so gullible - but there are millions of people like you in this country and coupled with Republican election rigging, we now have a baboon in the White House who ruined Obama's great economy, got played by the North Koreans like the idiot he is, saddled future generations with debt and environmental ruin, committed treason, made the CFPB worthless, we never got that trillion dollars in infrastructure spending that he promsied ... I'm getting tired of typing - I'd be here all day with Trump's failures.
story you should read.
Yep, Clinton paid Steele to get Russian contacts to write up fake info on Trump so she could... challenge a lawful election if she lost. You morons fell for it. The guy who made it all up is literally laughing at how stupid you are.
Hillary Clinton paid for lies, you bought it, and are screaming your head off repeating it. Face it, you don't like democracy and refuse to accept the outcome of an election, something that Clinton had said was "horrible" to think anyone could do it. Yet here you are doing it.
I bet you are so stupid this is the first time you've ever even heard that this Russian collusion thing has been a hoax since they beginning paid by Clinton to challenge an election she lost.
Idiots.
Leftists may have their heads in the clouds, but they're trying to help.
Pelosi said she is going to take away the only significant tax cut I've had in my life.
Kate Stynle was killed by an illegal felon using a firearm, they did not convict him and still refuse to protect US citizens by their sanctuary cities and refusing to protect the border.
They are unwilling to accept the outcome of a lawful election that got Trump into the White House
They are attempting to pass an amendment to overturn free speech because of Citizens United case.
Obama shipped thousands of firearms to Mexico killing hundreds there in an attempt to make a narrative that US guns are killing Mexicans.
Obama used the IRS to silence political opposition during an election.
Obama illegally used FISA (for terrorists) warrants to spy on a political campaign during an election
This is "trying to help". Sounds like you are the asshole, not your family.
At worst this was inappropriate vetting of an NGO. The whole "Obama used State Department cash to undermine Netanyahu" is nothing more than a conspiracy theory with no evidence. Even the article you link to makes it clear that OneVoice probably used the money in a fashion not intended for.
