Eli Lake, Bloomberg: Obama Should Out Putin's Wealth as Payback for Election Hacking
Everyone except the next president seems to understand that Russia interfered in the U.S. election.
It's not just the latest CIA assessments, or the earlier public statement from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Department of Homeland Security. Nor is it the fact that cyber-security experts in July had pinned the hacks of Democrats on bad actors in Moscow. As the Daily Beast reported Monday, even Russian officials are pretty much copping to the cybercrime of this young century.

WNU Editor: There are a number of web sites and social media sites that chronicle Putin's corruption and wealth and that of his closest aides and friends. Russian anti-corruption campaigner and opposition figure Alexei Navalny has one web site dedicated to just that (he has also announced his bid for the Russian Presidency) .... and for your info one of his videos is here .... A Look At How The Russian Prime Minister Lives (September 16, 2016). If the U.S. really wants to hurt Putin .... they should sanction him personally and those who administer his wealth. Unfortunately .... and I am willing to bet good money on this .... President Obama is not going to order that. As to what is my take on Putin's wealth .... I do not know about his investments in banks and companies, but I estimate his real estate holdings in Moscow and Saint Petersburg (via through his surrogates) north of $1 billion.

Maybe we can support the overthrow of a Putin backed government...oh wait we tried that already.
Once KGB always KGB
That said what Putin would want is an incompetent like Hillary.
Hillary was only elected to one office and that was a senate seat in NY.
That senate seat was bought and paid for.
So really Hillary never won anything in her damnable life.
