You would think the President of the United States would have a comment on the $5 million ransom that was paid out to cyber criminals after they caused major fuel disruptions for thousands of Americans. https://t.co/FFibm8aJhl

Something sure doesn’t seem right …

Asked if he was "confident that Putin was not involved" in Colonial Pipeline hack, Pres. Biden replies, "I am confident that I read the report of the FBI accurately, and they say…he was not, the government was not." https://t.co/CAHmsNFmcf pic.twitter.com/E3VQHbc97n
