Nuland: Putin Has Not Paid a Sufficient Price for Election Meddling

RUSH EXCERPT:

NULAND: "I don’t think the price has been anywhere near sufficient, but what I worry about more than going backward to 2016 is whether we are prepared for what they’re going to do in 2018, 2020. The president spent quite a bit of time talking about President Obama’s watch. President Obama did conduct a full investigation and hand that to President Trump. My concern now is we’ve had a year and a half where the U.S. government, directed by President Trump, should have been leading its own investigation of what Russians, Chinese, other adversaries of the United States can do to undermine our democracy, and building up our resistance, our deterrence to that. And, instead, this has all been about going backward. We need to go forward to make sure it never happens again, including being extremely firm with President Putin tomorrow about real consequences for Russia in places that matter to them, like their economy, where Russia is not doing very well, if, in fact, this continues in the United States. And it has been continuing, as you illustrated, with the quote from DNI Coates."
