... it wasn't just the U.S Conspiracy-Theorist-in-Chief, Donald Trump, who denied, deflected and ridiculed charges that Russia was a secret supporter of his .. electoral team.

... in August, when the Obama administration quietly approached Capitol Hill to seek bipartisan support from congressional leaders about the growing evidence of Russian involvement, CIA Director John Brennan couldn't even get top Republicans to meet with him. We learn that when a caravan of top U.S national security officials finally sat down with members of Congress, the GOP – led by Senator Mitch McConnell – flatly refused to cooperate. We learn that when Jeh Johnson, the secretary of homeland security, contacted people in charge of elections in various states whose election data had been possibly compromised, the Republicans in those states blew him off.

And .. <when> .. Denis McDonough, Obama's chief of staff, toyed with the idea of a bipartisan commission to take on the Russia spy effort, the White House concluded that it would be impossible to get the GOP on board ...

1. Obama stayed silent even after Comey talked about Hillary's emails

WHAT THE FUCK

*PLEASE* stop saying he was so fucking great - he very much helped pave the way for TRUMP

[HipChick]

4. he was so fucking great...

The Rethugs would have tried to impeach him on the way out of the door..... Congress, the GOP – led by Senator Mitch McConnell are the ones to blame,not Obama

[Fred Sanders]

5. Nonsense. Until Comey dropped a stinkbomb Clinton was going to win. Obama did right.

Imagine the chaos if he did.

12. She would not have won. Not with the extent of teh Russian interference, Republican use of

Interstate Crosscheck which also purged hundreds of thousands of voters. . THe extent of RUssian involvment is becoming more uncovered by the day. And there will be more. And it will show that they did impact vote totals. It already has.

6. There once was a thing called High Treason

...when one nation was attacking another...

[StepnKretchit]

7. Please.

This is the narrative. Obama did it. Greta Van Susteren had someone on her evening show today saying the same thing. Don't believe the hype, as a certain rapper would say.

President Obama is coming out and "President" Trump is very unhappy.

Organize.

[blue-wave]

8. Spot On!!

Again this is the divide and conquer strategy in play. Divide us and they win. We need to be watching what they are doing as they distract us and yell about it louder than their dividing narratives are yelled.

I don't know why Rolling Stone magazine printed this article. But they are not helping democrats by publishing it.

First attacks on Nancy Pelosi and now President Obama? Anyone see a pattern here?
