Klobuchar: Working with Russia on Cyber Is the Russian Bear Guarding the American Honey

EXCERPT:

KLOBUCHAR: "And Harold, this is just like having maybe not the fox and the hen house, it's the Russian bear guarding the American honey, right? You’re basically saying 1that 7 intelligence agencies, how many you want to characterize them, fine, have firmly established that Russia has been trying to hack us. And we know they’ve been hacking on the private side as well. That’s why Congress on a vote of 97-2 in the U.S. Senate, we put forward stronger sanctions. This weekend the president went the opposite way. He basically met with Vladimir Putin, said he was honored to meet with him, and did not take this on in the serious way. And that’s what concerns me, because you can’t then form a unit with the people that are trying to hack you."
