bobad BS: Washington Post breaking news (86* d) RE: BS: Washington Post breaking news 11 Dec 16


From Janis Ian, some interesting facts to consider here:

This post is in two parts. I don't care what your politics are; everyone in this country should be concerned about cyber security, and everybody should be concerned when the president-elect buddies up to the former head of the KGB. It's beginning to make sense now.

1. In case you haven't connected the news dots... Putin owns the largest oil company in Russia. He made a 500 Billion dollar deal with the CEO of Exxon Mobil. Obama put sanctions in place which stopped that deal. Russia then hacked into our government in order to get Trump elected. When the CIA told Congress this in September (James Comey was also in that meeting), Mitch McConnell refused to tell the American people, blackmailing Obama saying he would frame it as playing partisan politics during the election. Comey released the infamous no-information letter. Mitch McConnell's wife was picked for Trump's cabinet. The CEO of Exxon is now the frontrunner for Secretary of State.

2. From the NY Times (full URL below):
He (Trump) also indicated that as president, he would not take the daily intelligence briefing that President Obama and his predecessors have received. Mr. Trump, who has received the briefing sparingly as president-elect, said that it was often repetitive and that he would take it "when I need it." He said his vice president, Mike Pence, would receive the daily briefing.

"You know, I'm, like, a smart person," he said. "I don't have to be told the same thing in the same words every single day for the next eight years."

He added that he had instructed the officials who give the briefing: "'If something should change from this point, immediately call me. I'm available on a one-minute's notice.'"
