President Donald Trump fired off a series of tweets Monday morning in which he said Barack Obama “colluded or obstructed” by failing to act when the CIA informed him of “Russian meddling” in the 2016 election.
The reason that President Obama did NOTHING about Russia after being notified by the CIA of meddling is that he expected Clinton would win..

…and did not want to “rock the boat.” He didn’t “choke,” he colluded or obstructed, and it did the Dems and Crooked Hillary no good.

The real story is that President Obama did NOTHING after being informed in August about Russian meddling. With 4 months looking at Russia…

..under a magnifying glass, they have zero “tapes” of T people colluding. There is no collusion & no obstruction. I should be given apology!

Trump’s tweets are in reference to a report from The Washington Post that the Obama administration knew about Russian interference in the election as early as August 2016, but did nothing about it because they didn’t want to be accused of helping Hillary Clinton to win.
Even so, high-ranking Democrats agree with Trump that Obama should have done something:
At a hearing Wednesday, the leading Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Adam Schiff (Calif.), pressed Obama’s homeland security secretary, Jeh Johnson, on why the Obama administration didn’t say something sooner.
“Why did it take the administration so long to make a public statement that a foreign adversary was trying to influence the American election?” asked Schiff, who said he took his own actions to get the word out when the administration failed to act. In the new Post story, Schiff says the administration’s inaction left him with a sense of “cognitive dissonance.”
Liberals absolutely should feel bad about this. The Washington Post report further proves that Obama is nothing but a pathetic loser who would rather sell out our country to foreign interests than put America first. And Clinton lost the election because she would have been more of the same.
As for the Russia probe itself, so far none of the myriad of investigations into the matter have turned up any evidence that Trump colluded with the Kremlin to win the election. Furthermore, the legal aspect of the investigation doesn’t hold water.
When will Democrats learn that they lost the election for themselves?
