Why don't we take more aggressive measures against the Russian cyber operation?

Traitor45 probably prohibits it or it's classified. Now the DOJ is letting backers of the hacking off the hook. Now with a lot of people at home, the Russians are kicking it into high gear.

Unbelievable. His so called chef is the guy behind the hacking. Barr tells prosecutors to back off and now Russians who were on Muller's guilty list are suing us!

Moscow Mitch McTurtle had the Senate and his Republicon gang vote down additional security for the coming elections.

So, I guess that means everything is going to be just fine.

getting these Russian off the hook, puts them back in play doing the same thing they did before to put Trump in the Oval Office. It's a down payment on whatever Putin demands, and Trump is quite willing to pay the price.

And our "leaders" don't have our needs in mind at all.
