Obama cyber chief confirms 'stand down' order against Russian cyberattacks

They said she couldn't lose. Were they going to allow the attack so she could storm into the presidency and start a nuclear war with Russia? What was the plan since this makes no sense?

Obama cyber chief confirms 'stand down' order against Russian cyberattacks

"Former Obama administration National Security Council cybersecurity coordinator Michael Daniel confirmed on Wednesday that a "stand down" order was given to counter Russian cyberattacks during the 2016 election.

During a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing, Sen. James Risch, R-Idaho, asked Daniel about a passage in the book Russian Roluette. The passage was about a staffer from Daniel's team, Daniel Prieto, retelling the time that Obama's national security adviser Susan Rice told Daniel and his team to halt their efforts and to "stand down" in countering Russia's cyberattacks.
