Trump on Sunday accused former President Obama of knowing about Russian meddling in the 2016 election and not doing anything to stop it - despite reports that the Obama administration made multiple attempts to stave off interference from the Kremlin.
Trump took to Twitter Sunday afternoon, alleging that Obama was informed of the meddling by the FBI, but chose not to act on that information because he thought Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton was going to win the election.

"Why didn't President Obama do something about the so-called Russian Meddling when he was told about it by the FBI before the Election?" Trump asked in a tweet. "Because he thought Crooked Hillary was going to win, and he didn't want to upset the apple cart!"
Trump has lodged a number of accusations at Obama for not doing anything about Russia's efforts to influence the 2016 election. However, the administration did take action against Russia.
Intelligence officials under Obama warned Russian intelligence officers against becoming involved in the election and Obama told Russian President Vladimir Putin not to interfere.

What an idiot.

(1,009 posts)Either Obama did nothing
Or obama wiretapped him and the past administration conspired to spy on him
He just shot down the latter choice.

He did, you fool.
Why don't you do something about the proven Russian meddling? You're still a fool.
