Trump just tried to discredit a major development in the Russia investigation by blaming Obama

[Uncle Joe]

"The stories you hear about the 12 Russians yesterday took place during the Obama Administration, not the Trump Administration," the president tweeted. "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?"

Trump's tweets came a day after the special counsel Robert Mueller brought charges against 12 Russian military intelligence officers, accusing them of hacking, aggravated identity theft, and money laundering. The indictment was a monumental development in the ongoing Russia investigation because it marks the first time Mueller has directly pointed a finger at the Russian government for its efforts to meddle in the election.

It has been widely reported that Obama tried to push a bipartisan response to Russian election interference in September 2016 but that the effort was "watered down" by Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell, former Obama chief of staff Denis McDonough said.

Former Vice President Joe Biden expressed the same frustration with partisan interests that got in the way of pursuing the Russian meddling, saying in January that it was "all about the political play."

3. If Obama had pushed it and the FBI leaked about the russians, trump wouldn't be president

right now. What's he pointing fingers for? He benefitted.

BUT he's going to pay the long dollar when all the shouting is done.
What he and the Russians did was treason plain and simple. Russia declared war on the U.S. and used their military to attack us. Donny knew and helped them. That's treason no matter how you look at it

There isn't a pool of water big enough for the two of them to admire each other.
