Obama used the red phone.

This article about the red phone has bothered me for some time now. Why would Obama use the red phone and think the hacking had stopped when Donna Brazille said it didn't stop and the DNC felt abandoned by the government? What could be the disconnect here? Who is lying? Is NBC embellishing? Possibly. Then it dawned on my orange-overdosed brain. Comey. Comey lied to the President saying the hacking had stopped. Remember the FBI at one point said it didn't see any Russian interference and the CIA and 16 other intelligence services did. The DNC probably told Comey that the hacking was still ongoing, but surprise, that message didn't get through, and they did abandon the DNC and let the Russians have at through the election and beyond.
I have nothing to base this on. Just my own opinion. We now know that Comey had no probable cause to go to Congress or to investigate Huma's emails. We know that the FBI was slow to respond to the DNC and talked to Podesta only one time even though his emails were being plastered all over the world. Comey is a lying sack of horse puckey.
Some say O won't fire Comey cause the orange menace will put someone worse in his place. He's gonna do that anyway. I say get enough evidence on him and arrest his sorry, traitorous behind. Comey and/or the orange one.
