I was just listening to Admiral Rogers with an interview of Cyber Command Association established by the Vice Presidents directive. The interview was done at the U o f V.

One really interesting point is a student brought up “presidential policy directive 20” which was issued by Obama administration.. He says the problems he had with PPD20 was, it made it much harder to do their jobs and It allowed agencies to be lone wolfs doing their own thing, instead of collaboration with all other intelligence organizations

Under the Trump administration it changed with input from Rogers. It seems from what I’ve read Obama let any agency illegally do cyber attacks tp other countries, which makes sense since he bugged Merkel and other countries

Some lawfag or autist I’m not sure this means but it seems the PPD20 made the US more vulnerable. I wonder if the changes By Obama and what he did to that directive. It would be interesting for someone to analyze the difference from the policy directive from Bush to Obama and how Potus changed it.

The insinuation from Rogers is that Cyber command was inherently weakened by Obama, and other agencies could bend or break the law because they were acting on their own. Just dropping this and the ppd20 doc is anyone is interested.

I’m wondering if Obama made it easier for foreign actors to steal our cyber data or prevent the intrusion of our cyber data.

PPD20
