Earlier today, outgoing President Obama announced sanctions against Russia for their cyberattacks. Inquiring minds were left wondering: How would President-elect Trump respond?

All due respect to the POTUS-elect, but Russian cyber warfare doesn’t really seem like the kind of thing you should “move on” from.

Also, why wait until next week? Not exactly the most forceful response considering who we’re dealing with, is it?
@ZekeJMiller curious why tomorrow doesn't work….

@ZekeJMiller "Next week." Life comes at you hard, Donnie, I'd take a briefing tonight and tomorrow morning.

@ZekeJMiller What could be bigger & better than meeting with intel folks? As POTUS might be good idea to know what's going on. Ya think?

President Obama’s two terms have been plagued by bad optics. President-elect Trump might want to think about how to avoid a similar fate.
Ugh, we Americans worried about Russian hacking are such bothers to the President-elect. https://t.co/5lfXrt78ob

@ABCPolitics Apparently this issue is not a big deal to Don. He has no sense of urgency. Weak.
