In reply to the discussion: Trump's answer abroad to question of Russia interference is an outrage and a disgrace for the U.S. [View all]Juliusseizure
(562 posts)29. Worth an Obama response
This issue threatens future hacking activities, election rigging, and democracy.
A blunt response from Obama condemning Trump for politicizing the issue and refusing to confirm the obvious is called for.
Or just any democrat in a leadership role.
Is the thinking that it will just draw attention or invite a fight with Trump? Good! Now is the opportune time to put him on the defensive. He's about to meet with Putin FFS. I don't get it.
Trump is a criminal and transparently so.
Somehow Obama should have disclosed hacking that Trump won't confirm?
Obama didn't want to disclose it from fear of appearing to interfere in the election. Trump won't even flatly admit there was interference.
Obama put Russian sanctions in place. Trump has wanted to drop them from day one.
Trump has obstructed efforts to prevent future hacking and may actively assist in future attempts with his attempts to collect voter data.

And Trump will bluster and bluff and do nothing at all. Or launch a nuke. We lose either way.
