Mitch McConnell On Mueller Report 3/25/19

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is using the Trump administration’s summary of the Mueller report to accuse the Obama administration of being soft on Russia — challenging the Obama White House’s longstanding assertion that it was McConnell who hampered warnings about Russian election interference.
On the Senate floor Monday, the Kentucky Republican hailed Attorney General William Barr’s report on Mueller’s findings.
McConnell said Barr concluded Russia had carried out online disinformation campaigns and computer hacking efforts aimed at sowing discord and influencing the 2016 election, but the senator blamed the Obama administration for not doing more to counter those efforts.
“It is deeply disturbing that the Obama administration was apparently insufficiently prepared to anticipate and counter these Russian threats,” McConnell said in a Senate floor speech. “It was hardly a secret prior to November 2016 that Putin’s Russia was not and is not our friend. And yet, for years, the previous administration ignored, excused and failed to confront Putin’s malign activities, both at home and abroad.”
