did you read your article?Here is my guess: He welcomes help from all sources, domestic and foreign, to help elect and re-elect pro-Trump candidates who will protect his presidency. What do you think?
Trump has done nothing to stop Russia from meddling in the 2018 midterms
Trump Has Not Asked Us To Stop Russian Election Meddling, Intelligence Chiefs Testify
White House Eliminates Cybersecurity Coordinator Role
Absolutely great question. If now, Trump ADMITS that Russia was and is meddling in our elections....to the point where he has the audacity to accuse President Obama for "doing nothing" (which is untrue, by the way)....the obvious question then is WHAT HAS TRUMP DONE SINCE 2016 to assure it doesn't happen again?
Or...did he misspeak again?!
What exactly did Obama do after he scolded Trump and said it was impossible to effect our election? You do remember that, correct?
How are we going to stop Chinese hackers this time around?
Try again goober.
Fact Check: Did The Obama Administration Respond To Election Interference By Russia?
Second, why are you talking about Obama when Trump has been the POTUS for the last 1 1/2 years? Shouldn't Trump be the guy dealing with it now? Or, is passing corporate welfare more important?
"MARTIN: The assumption in what President Trump is saying is that President Obama took no action after learning that the Russians were interfering in the election. Is that the case?
EWING: No, that's not quite correct. The Obama administration had a great deal of internal debate in real time in 2016 about how to respond - whether they should do so publicly or privately. Ultimately, President Obama did so privately with the Russian president Vladimir Putin. He took him aside at an international summit and said, please stop interfering in our election - to no effect."
well when your last "aside" was saying "let me get elected again before i do what you want" didn't stop putin, if they were really doing anything that is.
this humdinger also -
"
EWING: Ultimately, President Obama's administration did take some action against the Russians. So in December of 2016 and January of 2017, there were some punitive measures the United States imposed. The Russian "diplomats," quote-unquote, were ejected from the United States. Their facilities in the United States were closed that they used to spy from New York and Maryland. And there were economic measures that the United States has taken, both under Obama and Trump, in retaliation for this election interference.
The view from critics on the outside was that it might have done more. There might have been cyberattacks - for example, the United States could have launched against the Russians to give back the Russians a taste of their own medicine. Ultimately, the Obama administration decided not to do that because the United States itself is so vulnerable to cyberattacks. And if you get into a cycle of escalation with the Russians, in this view, the United States is going to be the loser there because of how many more vulnerabilities we have as compared with how many they have."
ie - they're better than we are and we can't stop 'em.
so - great proof obama did something.
So....you ARE upset that Trump hasn't done anything for these 1 1/2 years?
