Trump is right, Obama was weak in dealing with the issue.

The House investigative committee's top DEMOCRAT agreed with you and President Trump today..

""WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The top Democrat on the U.S. House Intelligence Committee on Sunday criticized the administration of former President Barack Obama for not taking earlier and tougher action against Russia for its alleged hacks aimed at swaying the Nov. 8 election for Donald Trump.

"The Obama administration should have done a lot more when it became clear that not only was Russia intervening, but it was being directed at the highest levels of the Kremlin," said Representative ADAM SCHIFF on CNN's "State of the Union" program.""

That's a BIG STATEMENT considering the source. Schiff been one of the main defenders of the Obama administration, until now.

Where do you see info about this new "cyber weapon" that the Obama Administration authorized?

Obama put cyber weapons in Russian infrastructure that Trump can activate

The report said the CIA sent Obama and three other top aides a top-secret message in early August detailing Russian President Vladimir Putin’s campaign to help Trump defeat Democrat Hillary Clinton and generally disrupt the U.S. election.

The report said the CIA sent Obama and three other top aides a top-secret message in early August detailing Russian President Vladimir Putin’s campaign to help Trump defeat Democrat Hillary Clinton and generally disrupt the U.S. election.
The intel came shortly after the release of hacked Democratic National Committee emails that caused embarrassment for Clinton.

The Obama administration reportedly considered a number of responses to Putin, including cyberattacks on Russian infrastructure, releasing embarrassing intel about him and crippling sanctions. 

Obama settled on a modest sanctions package that was unveiled in December, along with the planting of the cyber weapons, the Post said.

It's no secret that the Democrats were mad, and still are, that Obama chose not to intervene more on Hillary's behalf.

2012- Obama laughs a Mitt Romney says Russia is a threat, and jokes it is no longer the cold war.

2016- Obama says no way elections can be hacked.

-Media and Hillary chides Trump and his supporters saying they may not accept the results of the election, and how dangerous that would be.


Now we are told by the very same intelligence community people that would have been briefing Hillary and Obama when they made those statements that the Russians have been attempting to hack and meddle in our elections for years.

So doesn't it seem odd that the democrats supposedly knew about what Russia was doing for years, but as long as they were winning elections, not only did they do nothing to stop it from happening but they laughed at Republicans who said Russia was a threat, and claimed that claiming election results were rigged or not fair was a danger to democracy that must be avoided.

Then as soon as they lose the Presidential race that they thought they had on the bag, suddenly Russia IS the biggest enemy we have, and we DO have to question election integrity.

And somehow, despite the fact that this all happened under Obama, it is somehow Trumps fault.

I couldn't make up such a ridiculous story if I tried.

My god this man is an idiot. After months of declaring no such interference by Russia according to Trump and his minions, this fool admits there was.

What next, that the pee tape exists and then blame Obama.

Obama should have done something about this, there is no disputing that.

Get it through your head, Russia meddles in all elections, the US meddles in elections, the ccp meddle in elections.

Did they hacks that directly changed voter tallies? NO.

They meddled through online propaganda, no different then what radical leftist and ultra wing wingers here do.

Now, with that being said, is it OKAY? NO.

I considered it along the lines of, oops my hand slipped, of course! Mine as well...like some unwritten hostile friendly dick measuring contest between nations in the dark recesses that the normal citizen would know nothing about...especially those dripped fed from the liberal media.

if liberal media is so strong and mighty, why do we have a nut job in the Whitehouse or a republican controlled congress?...can't have it both ways...apparently in your bubble world, there is no right-wing media, and if there was, those patriotic American outlets didn't even care about stopping or even alerting their republican voters that the Russians were using propaganda to influence the vote

MSM is not strong enough. People can decide for themselves. All MSM can do is suggest. That doesn't mean people will obey.

What interference? If I post on my facebook Hillary is a booger, that is interference in the election.

Or playing the Devil's advocate he is saying it did NOT occur (in a meaningful way), as he did nothing, and if it was real and it was going to have an actual effect you would think he would have taken some steps. If it was meaningful, and Obama did nothing, THAT is the real story.

You're way off the mark with your repy (all respect due)

Trump is admitting to russian interference, something that he has always maintained "didn't happen"
Now he says it did

Seems like Trump's admission is a game changer

For sure it happened on Obama's watch
What will the Trump administration do about it, the ball's in their court ?

He 'admitted' it back in January.


What he called fake was the whole story about him COLLUDING with the Russians.

The people who rely the most on the MSM for their "news", are the least likely to get out and vote, IMO.

You mean the part there is zero evidence to support? How dare he.

I think there's a legal penalty for filing a FAKE crime report. Someone had to accuse Trump of the crime of collusion. Who was it?

Several months hearing the same fake news, did Russia replaced the voting machines ?, did Russia counted the votes ? did Russia took dead people to vote ? did Russia hacked the lamestream media TV feed and reported a fake results ?

But why would Obama spread info showing that he was negligent?

What kind of negligence? What should Obama have done that he didn't do?

He should have given Putin "such a pinch" when he told him to cut it out!

It took Special Counsel Mueller almost a full year to confirm what the Obama Administration knew, way back in October 2016. That Russians were "interfering" in the U.S. election process.

www.bbc.com...

Whos to say Obama didn't do anything? We don't know if operations were put in to place. It's a known fact CIA has regularly interfered in elections all over the globe.

Sanctions frankly at this point is useless Russia has had sanctions since they invaded Ukraine. Adding more and more as we went a long. At this point more sanctions isn't going to make any changes. However the US has spent billions on cyber warfare. Time to fight fire with fire but it's not something you want to become public knowledge.
