President Trump openly questioned on Saturday whether the Obama administration wanted to damage Hillary Clinton's chances in the 2016 election by not immediately reacting to evidence of Russian meddling.
"Obama Administration official said they 'choked' when it came to acting on Russian meddling of election. They didn't want to hurt Hillary?"," Trump tweeted Saturday afternoon.
(TWEET-AT-LINK)
The Obama administration official he is quoting is one from a Washington Post report on Friday that said former President Barack Obama was given information in August 2016 about Russian President Vladimir Putin delivering specific instructions to his operatives to undermine Clinton's campaign in favor of Trump's. It wasn't until October that Obama finally addressed the public about the suspected Russian hacking. Obama then slapped sanctions on Russia in December and reportedly authorized a cyber weapons project targeting in Russia's infrastructure.
Clinton served as Obama's secretary of state from 2009 to 2013.....

Point to Mr. Trump.
Continue play.
I think his tweet implies the opposite, that Obama didn’t want to threaten Hillary’s coronation by doing anything about the Russian interference. I think Obama probably saw it as an unpredictable “wild card” that he didn’t want to introduce into the game.
Hey dems let’s not lose focus here!
The narrative is Russia collusion and obstruction of justice.
The infantile donks don’t understand that DJT is on an entirely different plane than they are
He’s really gettin’ under their skin now!
Go Trump!
There can be no doubt that Obola specifically instructed Lynch on "matter" vs "investigation" and there can be no doubt that the Phoenix meeting was approved by him.
Thus Obama was silent and kept this buried, like someone running a meth lab in his basement won't call the cops over neighborhood kids breaking a few windows.
If the Russians helped Trump and Obama knew about it, then Obama must have wanted to hurt Hillary.
Continue play.
None of them can be sure what DJT got when they took everything out of Comey's office when he was out of town giving his stupid speech.
Not even Comey can be sure.
...and he isn’t a lunatic as each LIB/DIM is.
Let’s all step back a little and marvel at how Trump gets in his opponents faces about tough issues.
Imagine McCain or Romney even intimating such. Gotta be polite ya know.
The Clintons monetized official State Dept policy-----Obama was supposed to get a cut of everything. But he later found out thy were doing lucrative deals and omitting him. Obama made threats and the Clintons caved in. Remember the picture on the golf course?
"How much to leave me and Hillary alone?"
But in 2016 Obama realized Hillary could be his third term He seized on the idea w/ a vengeance and forced her into running as an extension of Obama.
"This cunning criminal is going to be my third term."
Chicago Machine versus the Arkansas Mafia.
This is the ‘Rat leadership.
LOL...
Trolling for idiot demoncrats..
Go Trump Go!
WINNING!!
Can anyone actually itemize just what the Russians did?
DNC was not proven as a hack, as they never handed over the server and who was Seth Rich? (Who is John Galt?)
Podesta was a dope and clicked on something (we all have) and exposed his gmail. Why are you running a $1B campaign using gmail with a simple password? Stupid is as stupid does.
So evil boggy man Russia did what? Oh they did social media and fake news. Likely less fake news than CNN and MSNBC
It is not the hack. It is the content..
Now Diddler Podesta will testify behind closed doors (call for pizza!) and we will only get selected leaks and spin
So what exactly did Russia do? We sure as hell know that Obama (typical) did Nothing. So I guess the Russia interference must not have been that bad,noun?
Covfefe!
If 0bama weren't such an over the top narcissist I would suspect that of being a cunning plan to scuttle her campaign.
But I'm sure he really did think that tying himself to her would help her.
