: Congress Should Investigate Failed Obama Cyber Policies Along With Russian Hacking
Any intelligence review should coincide with a companion investigation by Congress into why the president and his White House advisers for the past eight years rejected numerous calls from military, intelligence, and national security advisers to take aggressive action against states like Russia and China—action that could have prevented the kind of covert cyber warfare now being linked to Moscow.
Obama repeatedly downplayed the nature and scope of cyber attacks against the United States during his administration, dismissing attacks like North Korea’s hack against Sony Pictures Entertainment as cyber vandalism.
The president also ignored the massive Chinese cyber attacks on the Office of Personnel Management. Those attacks pilfered some 22 million records on federal workers, including personal information on workers in highly sensitive military and intelligence positions.

Hillary Clinton’s Laughable
Hillary Clinton’s Laughable Cyber Security Record
Secretary Clinton admitted that she is “not by any means a technical expert.” This is no surprise considering when she was Secretary of State, the State Department “was among the worst agencies in the federal government at protecting its computer networks.” And that report does not even include Secretary Clinton’s reckless use of a private email server for classified communications, a flawed decision now under criminal investigation.
The server also had a run-in with Russian hackers when Secretary Clinton received several phishing emails linked to the U.S. adversary. Further highlighting the risk of Secretary Clinton’s server, former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates warned that “odds are pretty high” that Russia, China, or Iran had access to Secretary Clinton’s sever. Adding fuel to the fire, The Associated Press pointed out that the software on Clinton’s server had a hacking risk, confirming something many already suspected.
