hmm. so Obama could acknowledge Russian interference, but couldn't put sanctions on? why not?
The cat was out of the bag.

( as far as I'm concerned the "Russian interference" is a nothingburger of importance of effecting the results
but I do not see why sanctions had to wait till after the election, given we knew what was happening)

He did put sanctions on Russia.. Can you imagine what would have happened if Obama had announced that the Russians were meddling? Some of you would accused him of undermining our elections.

Are you pro Putin for some reason?
 
Logic says Someone higher up than Flynn was is in big trouble, just not sure who.

what Big Story backing Trump?
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...-not-doing-enough-russian-meddling/352385002/
In a series of tweets last June, Trump said Obama ignored Russian cyberattacks because he thought Democrat Hillary Clinton would win the election.

Last August, he tweeted that Obama knew about the Russian interference three years ago "but he didn't want to anger Russia!"

On Sunday, Trump received validation of that view from an unexpected source; Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee.

"I said all along that I thought the Obama administration should have done more," Schiff told CNN on Sunday. "They were very wary of appearing to be putting their hand on the scale in the election."

But Schiff also said, "none of that is an excuse for this president to sit on his hands." He said Trump should implement the sanctions against Russia that Congress authorized last year.

Obama did take action against Russia, instituting sanctions and expelling 35 diplomats. But that happened in December 2016 — weeks after the election. It wasn't until the month before the election that the Obama administration publicly acknowledged the Russian efforts.

Fact is that it was McConnell who sat on the information. The Obama admin was going to put it out, but McConnell wanted to wait and then watered it down. Obamas people were wary of looking like they were trying to sway the election. However McConnell had no problem doing it.

Obama poo-pooed the idea of Russians affecting the election.

Until Trump won.

1) I believe, and I’m surprised it didn’t happen today, that the next thing we are going to see out of Mueller is indictments against Russians, and maybe some Americans who helped, for breaking into the Democratic national Committee’s And Hillary Clinton for president campaign’s Computer systems and stealing data.

THEN....

If Mueller has evidence that the Trump campaign knew about this ahead of time and encouraged them In anyway those individuals will be Indicted several weeks later.

If there was a deal made with the Russians to get that stolen Information Released to the public in any way Or released to the Trump campaign.... Big time indictments will be handed down.

Finally, if the president was involved in the Negotiating handling or release of The stolen emails, in any way, or Mueller has evidence that President Trump tried to hinder the investigation in any way, mueller will be releasing a report recommending impeachment.

That’s the way this will go down over the next year or so.

Like anyone cared what Trump thought about anything before the election lol.

Weak tea. Russian interference is either a really big deal or it isn’t. If it is a big deal, allowing domestic politics to interfere with Russian sanctions means Obama was a weak leader.

Pick one.

Weak tea? A foreign power, one that has been out enemy since WW2, and you call it weak when they interfered in our elections? Obama did put in sacntions. Understand/ He put them in. He kicked out a bunch of Russians in the country and took over a bunch or property. https://www.cnn.com/2016/12/29/politics/russia-sanctions-announced-by-white-house/index.html I guess Fox Gnus missed it.

Nobody needs to turn over any stones to find stupid racists here at JPP.

First starters, ‘interfered’ implies the Russians actually affected the election. But Obama said ‘no serious person’ thinks an outside party can rig a US election. And he was right. The two major parties are barely capable of winning national elections and typically win by a few million votes or a few key states.

Obama put the sanctions on Russia *after* Trump won the election—not before, when he knew about the meddling. Spare me the excuses.
