CNN story issues scathing indictment of Obama

[zantax]

Well then he’s off the hook. Wouldn’t want the commander in chief to do his duty and defend the nation if someone might say mean things about him.

I said the following here 9 hours ago.

Fair enough… I will go a step further and say I want Obama investigated for knowing this was happening and doing nothing.

He should have said to the Russians, knock this off and until you do we are imposing sanctions. And then say to the American people this is what is happening. Your social media is being inundated with false advertising against one candidate or for another. Don’t be duped!

He always fancied himself a straight talker…except on this.

I had my sister reeling last night on the phone when i said this about her hero. But the attorney in her knew I was right.

I would support an investigation into why this was permitted to happen. The biggest problem in all of this, and it blows my mind that conservatives don’t give a ■■■■■ is simply this: RUSSIA MEDDLED IN OUR ELECTIONS! I don’t care whether it materially affected the outcome. I don’t care that we’ve done it before. I don’t care whether it was a Democrat or a Republican president who did not respond forcefully to it. I want it stopped.

Whatever, no skin off my back. Pretty sure his fear of being attacked for election meddling was a big factor at the time.

I will say this since we are comparing presidents. Unlike Trump, Obama’s every waking moment was not consumed by attacking his detractors. He actually attempted to govern once in a while.

It is false that President Obama did ‘nothing’ about Russian interference.

FACT CHECK: Why Didn't Obama Stop Russia's Election Interference In 2016?

If Obama had been more publicly critical of Russia, not to mention the Trump campaign playing footsie with them, many of the same people now pointing fingers at him for not doing enough would have been up in arms claiming he was trying to sway the election for Clinton.

Tell me I’m wrong.

[WuWei]

No they didn’t.

So what? Mueller was FBI under Obama. Does that make him a dem?

Shows CNN is taking a stab at being fair and balanced.

In this instance, agreed.

[zantax]

Really? I can’t recall any other President that opened an investigation of the opposition parties Presidential candidate to investigate a crime we now know didn’t exist.

[zantax]

Like I said, God forbid he do his duty if people might say mean things about him.

Doesn’t change a thing.

Always easier after the fact.

Again…that is not what Mueller concluded.

But you keep telling yourself that.

We’ll see, IG report due out in May or June.
