H.A.S.C. No. 115–16]
Crafting an Information Warfare And Counter–propaganda Strategy For the Emerging Security Environment
Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities of the Committee on Armed Services House of Representatives
Hearing Held
March 15, 2017
Our core values of truth, democratic principles, and self-determination are under assault. While the Department of Defense [DOD] plays a critical role in this form of warfare, it cannot bear responsibility alone. Countering adversarial propaganda requires a whole-of-government strategy using all instruments of national power to harness the authorities, tools, and resources required to mitigate and marginalize its harmful effects. With this in mind, the National Defense Authorization Act [NDAA] last year authorized and expanded the mission of the State Department’s Global Engagement Center [GEC] to counter state-sponsored propaganda efforts such as Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea. We look forward to continuing to work with the center and the Department of Defense this year as we craft an information warfare and counter-propaganda strategy for an emerging security environment.

I am blocking the Senate from moving forward on the US Attorney nominees for the Southern and Eastern Districts of NY.
Trump has made clear he intends to use the DOJ, US Attorney offices, and law enforcement as weapons to go after his perceived enemies.
Such blatant political motivations are deeply corrosive to the rule of law.
