Skeptics still doubt intelligence on Russia hacking

For months, calls grew for the Obama administration to punish Russia for hacking Democratic National Committee servers and party officials in the run up to the 2016 election. But the administration’s expulsion of Russian officials and imposition of sanctions last week hasn’t silenced all the critics.

Lawmakers from both parties continue to argue that President Barack Obama waited too long to react, and his punishment of Russia didn’t go far enough to deter Russian President Vladimir Putin from conducting future cyberattacks.
