But we dont have a coordinated response in the federal government. Which is among the biggest concerns of some intelligence experts. Why dont we have a coordinated response . The president himself, he will not singularly identify russia as the culprit. Until you do that, youre going to have sort of this hazy response by the administration, which only seems to give russia more of an opportunity to do something. All right.
