Trump on Russia indictment: Why didn’t Obama do something?
By Alicia Cohn - 07/14/18 06:27 AM EDT


President Trump on Saturday in his first comments about 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?”

Obama issued sanctions against Russia for the meddling when the U.S. intelligence community informed him prior to the 2016 election.

He also expelled 35 Russian diplomats from the U.S. and ordered two Russian compounds to be closed.

Robert Mueller is now leading the investigation into Russia interference, as well as possible collusion within the Trump campaign. His probe led to the 12 indictments announced on Friday by the Justice Department. They are charged with hacking Democratic National Committee officials and dispersing the stolen documents online.

The Trump administration has emphasized that the indictments do not indicate any level of collusion by a member of the Trump campaign. Trump has repeatedly said there was no collusion.

Trump went on to question “....Where is the DNC Server, and why didn’t the FBI take possession of it?”

He proposed that the server could have been kept hidden by the “Deep State.”

The Deep State is a conspiracy theory that proposes high-level officials run a shadow government working against Trump.

Trump has suggested in the past a conspiracy around the computer servers at the DNC that Russians hacked during the election.

The FBI reportedly has not directly assessed the hacked server during the agency investigation, instead relying on information from a private security firm.

7. The big lie here is he did do something about it, but was blocked by Mitch McConnel and the

the republicans in Congress who refused to cooperate, and told by the intelligence community that exposing the full extent of it publicly would compromise the investigation.

The irony is that Comey in his arrogance did exactly that by releasing a letter to the republicans in Congress 11 days before the election even though he was told by the AG NOT to do that this close to the election, and the media then FALSELY reported that the email investigation was being reopened. That was a LIE, and the media is responsible for propagating that lie
