Three of the nation's top intelligence officials said Tuesday that the U.S. has seen Russian activity aimed at meddling in the upcoming midterm elections.

"We have seen Russian activity and intentions to have an impact on the next election cycle," CIA Director Mike Pompeo told the Senate intelligence committee.
National Intelligence Director Dan Coats and Adm. Mike Rogers, the head of the National Security Agency, agreed. They didn't describe the activity, other than to say it was related to information warfare.

They told Congress that they would provide more details in a classified session later in the day. The intelligence officials said the information will be shared with state and local governments and state election officials.

WHAT IS TRUMP GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS?

Well, Obama told them ‘to stop it’ and that apparently wasn’t enough lol.

I read where these aren’t ordinary Russian trolls but Super Putinators that are fed radioactive kittens starting at a young age.

You should be very afraid.

here we go gain. There was an election in progress and Obama making a big story of Russian interference and backing Trump would have stirred you rightys into insurrection. Obama saw that he was best staying out. I wish Comey thought like that. However after teh election, Obama put Russian sanctions into place. I don't suppose that was covered on Fox Gnus, so you rightys would not know about that. Nor would you know the house and senate voted santcions in place after Daffy Donald was in office, and somehow he forgot to install them.

what Big Story backing Trump?
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...-not-doing-enough-russian-meddling/352385002/
In a series of tweets last June, Trump said Obama ignored Russian cyberattacks because he thought Democrat Hillary Clinton would win the election.

Last August, he tweeted that Obama knew about the Russian interference three years ago "but he didn't want to anger Russia!"

On Sunday, Trump received validation of that view from an unexpected source; Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee.

"I said all along that I thought the Obama administration should have done more," Schiff told CNN on Sunday. "They were very wary of appearing to be putting their hand on the scale in the election."

But Schiff also said, "none of that is an excuse for this president to sit on his hands." He said Trump should implement the sanctions against Russia that Congress authorized last year.

Obama did take action against Russia, instituting sanctions and expelling 35 diplomats. But that happened in December 2016 — weeks after the election. It wasn't until the month before the election that the Obama administration publicly acknowledged the Russian efforts.

Trump had been saying for months that the system was rigged against him.. and inviting the Russians to "hack the rest of Hillary's emails"..

Obama couldn't undermine confidence in our elections..

hmm. so Obama could acknowledge Russian interference, but couldn't put sanctions on? why not?
The cat was out of the bag.

( as far as I'm concerned the "Russian interference" is a nothingburger of importance of effecting the results
but I do not see why sanctions had to wait till after the election, given we knew what was happening)

Like anyone cared what Trump thought about anything before the election lol.

Weak tea. Russian interference is either a really big deal or it isn’t. If it is a big deal, allowing domestic politics to interfere with Russian sanctions means Obama was a weak leader.

Pick one.
