@emptywheel Maybe, but wouldn't he naturally be leading the charge for sanctions? -
@jacklgoldsmith But his insistence that OPM not be called an attack is in line not just w/reality but desire to tamp down calls v China. -
@emptywheel Plus the OPM hack cannot plausibly be basis or motive for sanctions. Only private theft I think. -
@jacklgoldsmith You and I agree. But apparently many members of Congress don't understand that point.
