What’s the actual story here? He took a cautious approach - maybe more of a Chamberlain than a Churchill - but it’s easy to pass judgement with hindsight. It’s not like he did nothing. Trump has been in power over a year and not only has he done nothing to tackle the proven interference, he’s blocked attempts others have proposed. Why is that? Whatever Obama did do would have been judged harshly - if he’d revealed this at the time Trump fans would have been screaming even harder for his death (no exaggeration - just read some of the insane FB posts directed at Obama and his family)

Do your homework -- Obama knew that it was going on for years.

He even kissed up to Putin telling him that he could be more lenient after he was reelected.

What’s your source for that M-Bob?

What’s your explanation for why Trump avoids putting pressure on Russia?

Yes, the sanctions that were already in place have continued despite some reluctance from Trump, who has blocked the imposition of harsher measures. What’s your source on your Obama allegations?

Thanks, but that article doesn’t really justify what you said. It appears that Russian meddling was known of several months (not years) before the election, and the DOJ were hesitant to make it public for reasons that make a lot of sense. What do you think the outcomes and reactions might have been if they have simply made this information, and at least some indication as to how it was unearthed, public?
