ROTFLMFAO~Rosenstein slams Obama administration for choosing ‘not to publicize full story’ of Russia

[The Purge]

Rod Rosenstein, the U.S. deputy attorney general who supervised the Mueller investigation, spoke publically on Thursday for the first time since the report was released, taking a swipe at the Obama administration’s real-time reaction to Russian hacking and its decision "not publicize the full story" to the American people.

Rosenstein, who was speaking in New York at the Public Servants Dinner of the Armenian Bar Association, defended his handling of the probe and criticized former officials in the process. He called out former FBI Director James Comey for alerting Congress about the investigation into Russian collusion at the height of the 2016 presidential campaign.

“The FBI disclosed classified evidence about the investigation to ranking legislators and their staffers,” he said. “Someone selectively leaked details to the news media. The FBI director [Comey] announced at a congressional hearing that there was a counterintelligence investigation that might result in criminal charges. Then the former FBI director alleged that the president pressured him to close the investigation, and the president denied that the conversation occurred.

Nor for nothing, but can anybody imaging Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy or Nixon getting all “chicken little” about Russian spying? No. It’s how the game is played. If it gets too bad you grab a few of their diplomats with a few of their identified spies and you throw them out of the country. You don’t tell the Russians to “knock it off” As the Surrender Monkey did. (and expect them to actually do it).

He knows that his tit is in the wringer, and is now going to do everything he can to save his skinny joo ass.

Obama made it clear in his speech about Trump's victory in 2016.



President Barack Obama said it is not even possible for an American election to be "rigged", as Donald Trump has claimed.

So you guys are upset that Obama kept the russia hacking story quiet when he tried to get Mitch McConnell to go along with making the story public and McConnell refused because he is a depraved partisan hack??

If Obama would have went public (which he should have) -- republicans would have been going nuts about it -- claiming Obama was trying to unfairly influence the election in Hillary's favor -- so being the scared establishment corporatist he always was -- he stayed quiet....

Obama's biggest flaw is him always thinking Republicans will be his friends and play by the same set of rules he does -- they don't and they never will..because even tho the Mueller report clearly states the Russians were attempting to swing the election in favor of Trump -- even tho Putin said on national TV that he directed his officials to do everything in their power to elect Trump --- trumpers still accuse Obama of conspiring with Russia...these people are idiots

Umm...Obama was keeping the russia hacking story quiet because, he knew very well that his Secretary of State - Hillary Clinton - was the "culprit". Mitch McConnell should have made that story public.

The Obama Administration knew about Russian trying to interfere in 2014 and yet did nothing. So if Obama had jumped on it in 2014 there wouldn’t have been a problem in 2016.

This exchange was omitted from the official WH transcript....

The question being asked to Putin was "Did you direct your officials to help Trump.." (in reference to the elections)

His response............





If Putin had said "I directed my officials to help Hillary" -- you dick suckers would be claiming that is the smoking gun...you folks are pathetic...

That is because Obama is so afraid of what the republicans would say or do that he was incapable of standing up and doing what needed to be done...

Obama doesn't have a "fuck what they think" attitude -- he is too friendly and too occupied with trying to get republicans to like him...its silly...

Bull shit! Utter bull shit! He was President and in 2014 what did he have to be afraid of? He wasn’t up for re-election, the Republicans weren’t involved in it at all this was before Trump even entered the presidential election.

Even if he was “afraid” he was the President and had a responsibility. Do you have proof he was afraid of those he told to sit in the back of the bus?

Sorry, not buying your story.

The gang of 8 were informed.

The C.I.A. told senior lawmakers in classified briefings last summer that it had information indicating that Russia was working to help elect Donald J. Trump president, a finding that did not emerge publicly until after Mr. Trump’s victory months later, former government officials say.

The briefings indicate that intelligence officials had evidence of Russia’s intentions to help Mr. Trump much earlier in the presidential campaign than previously thought…. The former officials said that in late August — 10 weeks before the election — John O. Brennan, then the C.I.A. director, was so concerned about increasing evidence of Russia’s election meddling that he began a series of urgent, individual briefings for eight top members of Congress, some of them on secure phone lines while they were on their summer break.

Obama didn’t want to be seen as using intelligence for partisan or electoral ends, so he sought a “show of solidarity and bipartisan unity” against foreign manipulation of our democracy.

That didn’t happen, in large part because Kentucky’s senior senator refused.

Confronted with evidence of an adversary attacking our democracy to help influence the outcome of a presidential election, Mitch McConnell more than once showed no real interest.
CIA warned lawmakers about Russia's pro-Trump efforts last summer

He was afraid that YOU (deranged republican sycophants) would accuse him of trying to "rig the elections" in favor of the democratic nominee -- which at the time was already widely thought to be Hillary -- which was why the GOP were currently launching Benghazi investigation after Benghazi investigation over and over again -- something the that GOP admitted was done for political reasons...

And despite all of that -- YOU (deranged republican sycophants) -- still accused him of trying to "rig the elections" anyway...and its Obama's fault for continuing to have this "play nice" centrist attitude -- this is also the reason YOU (deranged republican sycophants) -- demonize progressive candidates who you know will call you out on your bullshit...

Benghazi incident happened under his watch. Where was he during that? He has much to blame as much as "Crooked" Hillary. Matter of fact, Obama acted most of the time, "it wasn't his fault".

YOU are just making excuses, and YOU are just speculating since you have no clue as to why Obama didn't do anything in 2014. There are people speculating that the reason Obama did nothing is he didn't want to piss Russia off because or the Iran nuclear treaty.

So YOU, are blowing smoke.
