And I’ve read plenty of bad hot-takes here.

You completely let Trump and Republicans and Putin off the hook. Instead your default position is to attack Obama.

Have a nice night.

why not attack the right wing and the whore media which pushes the BS.

if Obama had said more they would have claimed he was unfairly helping HIllary. that would have been the story. not that russia was helping trump.

Bill Clinton had no power over her. I believe Mrs Lynch should have ignored the right wings bullshit and kept Comey under control. That's not unreasonable

you have too much trust in the media and others.

you think just because lynch might have told something to comey that it would be accepted and end there.

that comey wouldn't still come out and claim she was trying to cover it up. comey already tried to make her out to be doing something wrong and it wasn't until rachel maddow called him out on it that he admitted she didn't do anything wrong.

I wouldn't have trusted the media that ran with "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" in 2004 and Benghazi and HER EMAILS in 2016 to cover Russian interference for Trump as anything BUT an attempt to smear Trump and help Hillary.

Appointing Comey as FBI director was hands down the biggest mistake Barack Obama ever made.

11. Denis McDonough: McConnell 'watered down' Russia warning in 2016

WASHINGTON — Former White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough on Sunday said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell “watered down” a warning about Russia’s attempts to interfere in the 2016 election and defended the Obama administration’s response to foreign meddling in the campaign.

Yes, I'm sure in hindsight.. President Obama wishes he would have done more to alert the Nation on Russian interference.

But I am not wasting any of my time blaming him for all the Fucking Monster Fascists running loose in D.C.

Obama did nothing . However since than there is far more to it than was known. If yer holding on the Comey done it thing , in my opinion you may not totally get the election was in effect hijacked. At that time,nobody seemed to believe Trump could win. And the truth of the matter is, he did not legitimately win. I don't think we can sit back and opin. based on all things taken into consideration when there is so much we have yet to come into the know about.
