Theory On Why President Obama Ignored The Russians Interfering in Our 2016 Election.

2.20.2018

In 2016 President OBAMA was warned by his Intelligence chiefs, that Russians were using Information as a "weapon" in social media, to affect the upcoming Presidential election.

Source: www.bbc.com...

IMO, President Barack Obama IGNORED these multiple warnings from the Intelligece Community because:

1. He felt that Hillary Clinton was going to win, no matter what the Russians did on the cyberspace front.
-and-
2. Obama feared that attempting to stop the Russian Interference, would end up exposing how Hillary/Fusion/FBI were working with Russia to develop a FAKE dossier to hurt candidate Donald Trump...and to subsequently use that FAKE dossier to obtain a FISA warrant to SPY on President Trump and his campaign. Even if Hillary had won, the Republican majority in Congress would have Impeached her...and then come after him (Obama) for those crimes.

In Summary, President Obama was acutely aware of Russians "meddling" in our election process, but had too much to lose, if an investigation was launched. It most likely would have exposed the crimes of Hillary/Lynch/Comey/Rice/Powers, et al., as well.

The fact that his Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, gave 20% of the U.S.'s uranium supply to Russia, in return for Russia putting $145 million into the Clinton Foundation bank account, could have been uncovered as well.

So President Obama stayed quiet, and hoped for the best, while his hair grayed noticably. Unfortunately, his worst fears are about to be realized, as various Congressional and Dept of Justice investigations continue gather evidence of wrong-doings and colluding with Russia, by his administration.

Personally, I don't think that Obama or anyone in the Deep State believes that Russians meddled in the elections.

I think they're just trying their damndest to put up a smoke screen in hopes that we never get to see what's behind it.

a reply to: carewemust HMMMMM I like that you think this way but 1 fact remains. IF the big O was inline to set the big H for a win, why not release info that could implicate Trump in some fashion to a “fake” claim about the legitimacy of his presidancy? And to speak the truth there is no proof that the dossier is fake or real. All we know is that people on all sides are fighting to get the info released but has yet to make that happen. This whole thing stinks more than my locker from my TYA days.

Nope, if he would had made as so much of a peep publicly he would have been vilified by every reich-winger in existence.

Obama issued sanctions against Russia for the meddling after U.S. intelligence officials said they had found evidence that the country had hacked U.S. groups and leaked emails in an effort to influence the 2016 vote.

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

Former Vice President Joe Biden said earlier this year that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) refused to join a bipartisan statement warning Russia against the interference during the election.

Your derp fuhrer who still has not implemented the added sanctions approved by bi-partisan vote after Russia continued it's interference.

He's Putin's in every way.


K~

Now, carewemust, another day for a smear-campaign on a prior president?

Okay, now look at this: Obama expels 35 Russian diplomats in retaliation for US election hacking

And there was a lot more going on before this. Obama fought!

a reply to: carewemust

Obama didn't ignore anything. In September, the WH called together a bipartisan meeting of congressional leadership, gave them an intelligence briefing and attempted to get them to sign off on a bipartisan statement about the Russian meddling and to call for states to take measures to secure election systems.

See, Obama/his administration were concerned with acting unilaterally and being accused of influencing the election.

A few of the GOP leaders shot it down, Mitch McConnell in particular. In December, Obama sent a bunch of Russian diplomatic staff packing and imposed sanctions. In fact, it was those very sanctions that Flynn was assuring Kislyak that Trump would undo — in the communications he lied to the FBI about.

Trump on the other hand, is completely ignoring the interference that his intel chiefs say is happening right now. There's been no cabinet meetings about dealing with it. He's issued no instructions to the IC about dealing with it. In fact, he's been spouting off how "it's all a Democratic hoax" for over a year.

He hasn't just been ignoring it, he's been trying to get you to ignore it. You and all the other Trump supporters who continue to have undue faith in Trump. The only punitive action under Trump was actually in retaliation to the Russians cutting US diplomatic staff in like September. The administration still hasn't implemented the sanctions mandated by Congress.

And to top it all off, Donald Trump has *never* said a bad word about Putin or the Russian government, much less condemned their attacks.

Check the URL I embedded in the Opening Post, and you'll see that the Director of Intelligence briefed President Obama, in full, prior to October 2016.

Real classy pic you posted.

I would axe your account for that one.

You've been nothing but a pos troll lately.

MITCH MCCONNELL

HE didn't want to pursue any of this...telling Obama in a bi-partisan meeting he would make it a PARTISAN issue. . .

But hey, let's BLAME Obama for somehow forcing Trump, the NRA, social media and the GOP itself for letting Russia infiltrate them, right?

REALITY ... it's over here

Put yourself in big O's shoes. Would you want what you potentially did wrong, with Russia's help, to come to light if big H had won? By attempting to "Stop the Russians", you could have opened a pandoras box of troubles for yourself.

Yea, he's a liar, too.

a reply to: aethertek

The Liberal Azzholes in the news media who proudly proclaim that Obama "took action", intentionally omit the fact that his Russia Sanctions, and Russian Expulsions, occurred AFTER his crown jewel (Hillary) LOST the election.

From a Source That Liberals Revere: www.cnn.com...

Knowing Obama, he took these actions out of butt-hurt spite.

a reply to: ManFromEurope

The evil liberal media neglect to mention that this TOUGHNESS AGAINST RUSSIA that Obama magically found, occurred AFTER Hillary lost to Trump.

What did Obama do to stop the INTERFERENCE that was in progress...BEFORE THE ELECTION? He certainly knew about it. See my O.P. link.

Trump isn't a liar? His administration is packed with liars? Should we recap some of the many things they've lied about as a group? It's not an isolated thing, it's a pattern.

1. Something's exposed.

2. Lie biggly.

3. Float another version or three.

4. Express confidence.

5. Confirmation makes it impossible to maintain lie.

6. Fire somebody.

7. Get spox to "explain" how if you get plastered, punch yourself in the face a dozen times and squint real hard, you can almost see where something in one of the lies was almost honest.

8. Point fingers at everyone else.

What kind of interference/meddling is occurring right now? Another group of Russians are purchasing FaceBook Ads and organizing protests to create CHAOS?

a reply to: theantediluvian

That's OK as long as America stays safe from attack and the populace prospers! Gotta keep your eye on the BIG picture. That soap-opera crap is for the touchy-feely types who love CNN and MSNBC.

YEP. And they're posting comments on social media and forums...

Obama would never do that. Oh wait yeah he would,
