Ridgewood NJ, President–elect Donald J. Trump released the following statement at the conclusion of the meeting with Intelligence Community leaders:
“I had a constructive meeting and conversation with the leaders of the Intelligence Community this afternoon. I have tremendous respect for the work and service done by the men and women of this community to our great nation.
“While Russia, China, other countries, outside groups and people are consistently trying to break through the cyber infrastructure of our governmental institutions, businesses and organizations including the Democrat National Committee, there was absolutely no effect on the outcome of the election including the fact that there was no tampering whatsoever with voting machines. There were attempts to hack the Republican National Committee, but the RNC had strong hacking defenses and the hackers were unsuccessful.
“Whether it is our government, organizations, associations or businesses we need to aggressively combat and stop cyberattacks. I will appoint a team to give me a plan within 90 days of taking office. The methods, tools and tactics we use to keep America safe should not be a public discussion that will benefit those who seek to do us harm. Two weeks from today I will take the oath of office and America’s safety and security will be my number one priority.”
Maybe a better step in the right direction than offering to kiss Putin’s butt in public, but come on Donald. Let;s call this act of foreign aggression what it was. It was an attack on the sovereignty of the United States of America. I am glad the results show no result on the election so we can handle this blatant act of war for precisely what it is, rather than as some sort of side show to the election. Now let’s start showing some of that famous bluster towards the enemy. This can not be swept under the rug.
the enemy is ISIS and Islamic Jihad
James, yes, but so are the communists. They have not disappeared simply because there is another sinister force at work. Freedom is daunting to all would be and petty tyrants. What is the difference between a hitler, Putin and a Bin Laden? Our government should not cozy up to any of them.
well Mitt Romney , the Berlin Wall fell in 1989 , the only Commies are Unv.Professors ,NJ politicians and the folks in Washington DC
Ha, Ha – – But, pure and simple, Putin is a pimple, grotesgue and looming large. Whether he has shed the label “commie” since leaving the KGB or not, he is still one of them. And I for one don’t want him popping on American Soil.
lol love your analysis
