With the new Mueller indictments of some Russian guys for allegedly hacking the DNC in 2016, the media is going crazy telling us how important, excuse me IMPORTANT, the indictment is. Trump has to cancel his meeting with Putin according to a whole host of Democrats and media pundits. But here's the real question:
In 2016, when all this happened, the US government cyber group was developing alternative plans for actions to be taken against the Russians in response to this hacking. President Obama had been told that it was the Russians who were responsible for the hack of the DNC. As those plans were being developed for quick presentation to Obama, however, the White House issued a stand down order. That's right, Susan Rice, then the National Security Adviser to the cyber group to STOP what it was doing. No plans for any response to Russia were completed. No response was ordered by the White House. Obama just sat on his hands. And guess what? None of the Democrats or pundits who are now so exercised over the Trump-Putin meeting said anything.
By the way, for anyone who doubts the Obama administration order to the cyber group to stand down, it was recently reconfirmed by the man who was the head of the cyber group. This is something that really must be explained.
