The Obama administration announced sanctions Thursday against Russia’s intelligence services, while ejecting dozens of intelligence operatives from the U.S., as part of a response to what it says are efforts by Moscow to influence the 2016 election.

Using an executive order, Obama sanctioned the GRU and the FSB -- two of Russia's intelligence services as well as other entities and individuals within the GRU.

In addition to the sanctions, the State Department has declared 35 Russian intelligence operatives "persona non grata" in the U.S., and is shutting down two Russian compounds in Maryland and New York.
This stupid move is going to bite barry in the ass and it should.

Like the cowardly bully that he is, Obama is doing as much as he can to spite people that have made him look foolish in the past.

Obama said that his legacy was on the ballot and he would take it as a personal insult if people voted against Hillary.

Guess what? He is giving a **** YOU to the American people by damaging American relations with foreign leaders.

Actually, with 3 1/2 week left in office, it probably won't. BHO is creating messes for Trump to have to deal with.

Sounds very petty. Any proof that Russia did this?

Nope. 

President Obama Releases Ridiculous FBI Report on “Russian Malicious Cyber Activity” (full pdf included)…

Quote
This might as well be a report blaming Nigerian fraud phone solicitors for targeting U.S. phone numbers.  DUH!  Just because your grandma didn’t actually win that Nigerian national lottery doesn’t mean the Nigerian Mafioso are targeting your employer to hold you accountable for her portion of the bill.

This FBI report is, well, quite simply, pure horse-pucky.


However, what the report does well is using ridiculous technical terminology to describe innocuous common activity.   Example: “ATPT29” is Olaf, the round faced chubby guy probably working from his kitchen table; and “ATPT28” is his unemployed socially isolated buddy living in Mom’s basement down the street.

This paragraph is priceless in it’s humorous and disengenuous gobblespeak:

Both groups have historically targeted government organizations, think tanks, universities, and corporations around the world. APT29 has been observed crafting targeted spearphishing campaigns leveraging web links to a malicious dropper; once executed, the code delivers Remote Access Tools (RATs) and evades detection using a range of techniques.

A great relief of sorts, I was expecting an aspirin factory in Moscow to be targeted for a severe bombing...
