Former President Barack Obama’s cybersecurity czar confirmed Wednesday that former national security adviser Susan Rice told him to “stand down” in response to Russian cyber attacks during the 2016 presidential campaign.

Michael Daniel, whose official title was “cybersecurity coordinator,” confirmed the stand-down order during a Senate Select Committee on Intelligence hearing held to review the Obama and President Donald Trump’s administrations’ policy response to Russian election interference.

Rice’s order to Daniel was first reported in “Russian Roulette,” a book published in March that details Russia’s meddling in the election.

In the book, authors Michael Isikoff and David Corn reported that Daniel was developing strategies to respond to Russian cyber attacks on U.S. companies and political campaigns. He proposed using what’s known as denial of service attacks to take down Russian propaganda news sites and to attack Russian intelligence agencies

One reason the political elites never get punished is because TPTB are always afraid that those in potential legal jeopardy might expose THEM. Then things could get ugly for everyone. So they shuffle people around and dodge accountability until the political scandal or interest in the crime subsides.

Actually, multi-tiered: Strzok, McCabe, et al, are not treated like us... but they are not treated like Clinton or Obama either.
