The stories you heard about the 12 Russians yesterday took place during the Obama Administration, not the Trump Administration. 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?

3. July 27, 2016

You summoned them, asshole.

Squirming a little now?

4. Maybe he was letting them

Build their case , and find out who was involved, that were Americans, conspiring against this country , and committing treason against the USA. Who says they were aware of it all then? trump refuses to accept they hacked Hillary , and attacked us, and for him to win. That makes you an illegitimate President. Hillary was right all along, trump is putins puppet, and going to meet with putin to arrogantly conspire more against this country as a agent for russia, not for this country. This could've been done to capture all those involved, not just a few , which Mueller is methodically doing, while trump and his minions are constantly trying to obstruct or end. Innocent people don't act this way, only guilty ones do.

7. why didn't Obama make me stop being a fucking traitor

[rurallib]

9. Bingo!

[JI7]

8. lets not let him control or change the debate and make this about Obama

one can talk about that in itself .

none of that changes the fact that Trump is a traitor . even if obama had done nothing , it doesn't make what he did ok.

remember when he attacked Hillary for his not paying taxes and other actions concerning business ? demanded why didn't she do anything to stop him .

gross fucking scumbag. i wish the fucker would die already.

10. 12 Russians were hacking during the TRUMP CAMPAIGN to aid TRUMP.

Why did Donald accept their help? Why did Donald make a request on air at one of his rallies to solicit more Russian criminal activity to help his campaign?

Donald needs to stop obsessing about the boogieman "deep state" and worry more about the deep shit he is in. Perhaps canceling his private meeting with Putin would be a good start.

He surely does not act like an innocent person.

If you are going to complain nonstop about being the subject of a "witch hunt" perhaps you should stop flying around on a broom and trying to cast evil spells on Mueller and the FBI, metaphorically speaking.

11. President Obama warned people about it, and called on Congress to immediately hold an investigation

because it was so serious, but it was blocked by McConnell and the Congressional republicans, and told it would be a violation this close to the election, and would be considered a clear violation and interference in the election.

The irony of course is that 11 days before the election Comey released a letter to the republicans in Congress, which based on misinformation and a clear violation of the Hatch Act was a clear attempt at interference in the election. Which is why Comey is one of the worst, arrogant assholes in the whole sordid affair

President Obama was also told by the intelligence community NOT to specifically expose it
by the intelligence community because they were in the middle of the investigation, and it would compromise our security, and jepordize the investigation.

While it is easy in retrospect to be critical that President Obama did NOT act more aggressively, and there is a good argument to be made for that, the fact is the republicans in Congress not only refused to cooperate, but took extra steps to block its release, along with the intelligence community.

Yes, President Obama should have exposed it more vigorously, and no doubt the republicans would have condemned it as interference in the election, and painted it as interferring with the election, and threw dispersions on it, but it was that critical information that the American people needed to know, and were deprived

Yes, the press briefly mentioned it, but when Comey released the letter to the republicans in Congress 11 days before the election, the media dropped it like a hot potato, and immedately took the republican talking points that the "email investigation was reopened"


That was a LIE, but it did not stop the television outlets and Newspapers from propagating that lies days after.

That it is being exposed NOW, a day late and a dollar short is the true tradgedy, and not only implicates the trump, but the entire republican party in compromising the security of our country, and holds them directly responsible for working with a foreign power to interfere with our election.

That cannot be undone, but what can and will be done is that the trump administration and the republican Congress will NOT be able to run away from this, and the truth is, and will fullly come out of their involvement, and hopefully there will be heads that will roll, not only politically, but with hard jail time
