so are you actually trying to say the dems NEVER EVER EVER blame people for what they themselves are doing?https://www.politico.com/story/2017/08/14/obama-russia-election-interference-241547
In 2014, the administration got a report of Russia’s intention to disrupt Western democracies, including the United States
The Obama administration received multiple warnings from national security officials between 2014 and 2016 that the Kremlin was ramping up its intelligence operations and building disinformation networks it could use to disrupt the U.S. political system, according to more than half a dozen current and former officials.
As early as 2014, the administration received a report that quoted a well-connected Russian source as saying that the Kremlin was building a disinformation arm that could be used to interfere in Western democracies. The report, according to an official familiar with it, included a quote from the Russian source telling U.S. officials in Moscow, "You have no idea how extensive these networks are in Europe ... and in the U.S., Russia has penetrated media organizations, lobbying firms, political parties, governments and militaries in all of these places."
That report was circulated among the National Security Council, intelligence agencies and the State Department via secure email and cable in the spring of 2014 as part of a larger assessment of Russian intentions
Former White House officials, requesting anonymity to discuss intelligence reporting, confirmed that the administration began receiving increased traffic in 2014 about Russian disinformation and covert influence in campaigns, but said they did not recall receiving that specific warning about Russian inroads in the United States.
others in the national security community say an overly cautious Obama White House could have done more both during the campaign and in the previous months and years to alert Russia that it was aware of its intentions to subvert the U.S. democracy — along with those of some other Western countries — and would retaliate forcefully at the first sign of Russian interference.
BARRY CHOSE TO DO NOTHING EXCEPT ALLOW IT TO HAPPEN...
LIAR ^^^
You didn't read the link you posted. You failed to note how many sources supporting your biased opinion were not identified, and those who explained what Obama&Co did do were identified.
One more example of the well known strategy of hacks and RWers to blame others for what they do.
However, that is water under bridge, the flood continues and Trump&Co have done NOTHING but claim Russia's influence on the election had nothing to do with the outcome, and now denies the intelligence agencies discoveries as fake news.
please don't be this openly stupid.
