"President Barack Obama said Friday that he told Russian President Vladimir Putin in September to “cut it out” in regard to allegations that his nation engaged in cyberattacks against the U.S. electoral process. Obama added that further hacking by Russia did not occur following Obama’s admonition.

And in fact we did not see further tampering of the election process.” http://www.politico.com/story/2016/12/obama-putin-232754 On Monday, April 3, 2017 at 6:13:40 PM UTC-5, brine wrote: > Putin was gonna stop the Mexican gov't from influencing US politicians ... > interesting, never heard that one!!! > > On Mon, Apr 3, 2017 at 3:23 PM, Kamakazee <[email protected] > <javascript:>> wrote: > >> I remember Obama said he told Putin to "cut it out" and Putin agreed to, >> back in Sept. >> >> >> Weird >> >> -- >> -- >> Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups. >> For options & help see http://groups.google.com/group/PoliticalForum >> >> * Visit our other community at http://www.PoliticalForum.com/ >> * It's active and moderated.
