on Saturday reacted to the indictment of 12 Russian military officers “for conspiring to interfere with the 2016 presidential election” by blaming former President Obama and the “deep state.”

“The stories you heard about the 12 Russians yesterday took place during the Obama Administration, not the Trump Administration,” he tweeted from Scotland. “Why didn’t they do something about it, especially when it was reported that President Obama was informed by the FBI in September, before the Election?”

Perhaps Obama didn’t want Hillary to win?

If he knew Trump was getting helped by Russia, why didn’t he try to stop it before the election?

He could have went public, exposed the Russians, perhaps getting Hillary elected.

So why didn’t he?

Funny Trumps mouthpiece and others claimed no Russian influence and now instead of saying we were wrong they try to deflect from themselves and blame Obama.

That’s irrelevant. Recall the FBI did NOT check out the DNC’s server. So its based on heresay what they are telling us now, about it.

However, that’s not the OP, its not the issue. President Obama knew in September Trump was being helped by the Russians.

So why didn’t he say something, then before the election?

Didn’t he want Hillary to win?

Can you think of a good reason why Obama did NOTHING until December, when it was too late to help Hillary?

The FBI was running a counterintelligence operation during that time.

Hope that helps.

He already answered that question. When he was informed by the FBI they had suspicions but did not have all of the hard details. He said that without having all of the evidence he did not want to give the impression that his administration was trying to sway the election. And you have to consider that they thought that Hillary was going to win.

Trump and his mouthpiece who started this line of reasoning on Friday are trying to distract from the fact this question was answered a long time ago.

Don’t forget the Republicans were asked to make the defense of the election process bipartisan but they saw it benefiting them so them refused.

If Democrats really wanted to win the election they would have made these concerns public. Democrats obviously are inept at using the force of the government as a political weapon. Just another example of how Obama sucked as President.

Let me let you in on a widely known secret. When trump bleats a febrile and whining question into the twitterstream, smart people already know the answer, or know how to find the answer in less than a second on Google. Trump is dumb, and vested in making you dumb. See, it worked. You ran here to helplessly parrot the same dumb question.

No, see, it’s eleventy dimensional brilliance. Donald is just playing dumb and he encourages his worshippers to play dumb as well, thereby confounding the left while at the same time employing his stable genius brain with all the best words to MAGA under their very noses. Libs simply cannot keep up with this powerful alpha male and his godlike intellect as he drags them kicking and screaming into a new Golden Age for America and the Patriots Who Love Her :us:

Well, damn, funny that didn’t stop all the leaking. Why not leak the facts they thought they had?

The fact that the FBI was running a counterintelligence operation on Russia that included the Trump campaign was not revealed until after the election.

Hope that helps.

National Security should Trump that, pun intended. Secrecy for what? Lose the election for Hillary so you can indict Russians who will never show up in a US court?

Don’t believe that is credible.

Democrats Deep State FBI everyone who hates Trump, claim Russia was helping Trump.

You believe and say that yourself.

So “if that is true”, why didn’t Obama reveal Trump was being helped by the Russians?

It would have gotten Hillary elected.

Didn’t Obama want Hillary elected?

This should never have been an issue in the first place. We can thank the dumb leftists for all of the time that’s been wasted. It would take a fool to listen to anything else they have to say.

So, how do y’all Leftists feel now that you know you were used?

Wow, stringing all that together is fetish like.

Yeah… why didn’t they say anything?

Kind of makes you question the whole deep state conspiracy to keep Trump from getting elected and help Clinton when the actions that the took were exactly opposite of that.

Obama made the right call to be as light-handed as possible. Even if Putin was literally wearing a Trump Halloween mask, and giving speeches in Russian, it would be better to let the American people choose that candidate without even the slightest hint of resistance. Peaceful transition of power is more important than anything else

Obama tried and approached McConnell and Ryan on what to do. They said no, don’t say anything those Russkies are helping out Republicans bigly, don’t slow their roll.

Why are Russians and Republicans so simpatico with each other? Money.
