At this time, Intelligence Community does not have intelligence reporting that indicates any compromise of our nation's election infrastructure that would have prevented voting, changed vote counts, or disrupted the ability to tally votes.

United States is not the kind of robust campaign that we assessed in the 2016 election, they stepped up their game big time in 2016. We have not seen that kind of robust effort from them so far.

We know that there are others who have the capability, we will continue to monitor and warn of any such efforts.

The warning signs are there, the system is blinking. It is why I believe we are at a critical point.

Say that again ? okay... that's gon na be special.

I think anybody who thinks that Vladimir Putin doesn't have Vladimir Putin stamp on everything that happens in Russia is misinformed.

We talked about the future and where God might lead each of us, i don't believe I would be in my current position had we not had this discussion.

We have been clear in our assessments of Russian meddling in the 2016 election and their ongoing, pervasive efforts to undermine our democracy, and we will continue to provide unvarnished and objective intelligence in support of our national security.

The warning signs are there, the system is blinking. It is why I believe we are at a critical point. Today, the digital infrastructure that serves this country is literally under attack.

My message would be : We know what you're doing, and we know you know what you're doing and what we're doing. If your goal is to strengthen Russia in the proper way, we can cooperate with you.

We must ignore the coming public relations campaign that will trumpet this deal as a victory for diplomacy and the false premise that the deal is a choice between peace and war.

Until the end of my Senate term, I pledge to my constituents that I will continue to focus all of my time and energy on the major challenges that Hoosiers sent me to Washington to address.

If the U.S. military – or State Department, White House, members of Congress – stayed off Twitter, YouTube and other social media sites because of the vulnerabilities inherent in those services, then the terrorists win.

In the midst of the heartbreak and wreckage of 9-11, the world also witnessed what is America's greatest strength. Firefighters, nurses, police officers, first responders and local residents worked around the clock to rescue and care for those injured.

A major attack on our cyber systems could shut down our critical infrastructure - financial systems, communications systems, electric grids, power plants, water treatment centers, transportation systems and refineries - that allows us to run our economy and protect the safety of Americans.

Today, we face another major potential attack on our country. This attack is not a hijacked plane or bomb, although that remains a threat; rather, it is a cyber attack.

Russia's assertiveness in global affairs is something I look upon with great concern, which we need to address with eyes wide open and a healthy degree of skepticism.

It's time to acknowledge that more government and higher taxes is not the answer to our problem.

We probably haven't seen the variety and diversity of threats to Americans' safety and well-being and our national security in a long, long time. Some have said it almost makes you yearn for the Cold War days when you knew who the bad guys were and who the good guys were, and there was a wall dividing us.

good you time war

I'm at the point age-wise where I've decided it's time to pass the baton to people who have several terms in front of them and have the energy and the excitement and the engagement that is necessary to carry it on.
