Who was it that secretly said to Russian President, "Tell Vladimir that after the election I'll have more flexibility?" @foxandfriends

Is it true the DNC would not allow the FBI access to check server or other equipment after learning it was hacked? Can that be possible?

1. Obama was President when he conducted diplomacy. tRump's team was not in power.

tRump was selling benefits to Russia in exchange for help getting into power.

In 2012, Obama was the sitting President. He wasn't selling or buying anything to the Russians. He was stating a fact.

But don't argue points like this unless necessary. If you must, make your point as succinctly, compactly and potently as possible and move on. tRump wants you to argue points like this to consume the oxygen in online "rooms" so that there is less time for people to point out his numerous violations of law, ethics, reason, and decency. He's always operated this way and tweeting is deliberate.
