Former Obama Official: Warnings on Russian Trolls, Potential Election Meddling Were Ignored

 

A former Obama White House official said the U.S. government could have prevented Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

Brett Bruen, who served as the White House director of global engagement from 2013 to 2015, told CNN that in 2014 he warned his colleagues on former President Obama's National Security Council that Russian trolls interfered in Ukraine's 2014 election and could do the same to the United States.

"I was sitting in the Situation Room saying, 'This is something that's going to march across Western Europe. It's something that's going to march over to our shores, and we need to be ready,'" Bruen told CNN, explaining the State Department dismissed his idea of a "command center" to counter Russian disinformation.

  1. Considering the Obama administration ignored the overt attempts by their party and supporter to allow massive numbers of illegals and felons to vote I'd say those 13 Russians organizing counter protests on FB is almost laughable.

    But then I expect that Obama's thugs assumed Russia would support Hillary after selling them considerable interest in our uranium.

    Oh look, the old adage about assumption rings true again. It couldn't happen to a more deserving witch. Did I say witch? I meant something else.

    Y'all have a nice day.
