President Barack Obama emphatically denounced the conspiracy theory saying Russians successfully tampered with the American voting process.
“We were frankly more concerned in the run up to the election to the possibilities of vote tampering, which we did not see evidence of,” he said. “And we’re confident that we can guard against.”
During an interview with the Daily Show’s Trevor Noah, Obama downplayed the hack of a private email account of Clinton campaign chief John Podesta, defending his administration for revealing in October that the Russian government was connected.
“None of this should be a big surprise,” Obama said, “Russia trying to influence our elections dates back to the Soviet Union.”
Obama dismissed the hack and the leaked emails as “not very interesting” and lacking “explosive” revelations. He puzzled as to why it was an “obsession” by the news media despite the knowledge that the Russians were responsible.

I think Trump should issue a statement that the leaker, who was probably an insider, will be given immunity and a pardon under his administration, and can now come forward and let the world know that it wasn’t Russian hackers, but an American patriot who saw what Clinton was, and didn’t want that.
“Why do I get the feeling there was some sort of back channel dialogue involving the phrase “do you really want to go there”?
That was from Obama’s own thugs in the CIA and NSA.
Stronger dialogue from Trumps intel people wasn’t needed.
Some blog I saw yesterday said Valerie Jarret was the leak.
Makes sense to me.
The leaker is already dead.
Blah blah blah....lying till the end
I think Trump may be teaching Mitch the art of the troll. May have sent him out there to call for a bipartisan investigation. Naturally graham and mccain were the first to raise their hands shouting PICK ME! They make such a cute couple.
“Howdy Doody”
Obama is worried about his legacy. He has none!!!
“We’re confident we can guard against”. Bwahaha—Barry’s Dems steal millions of votes a year and he knows it.
Hah! After the recount found massive voter fraud in Detroit, Obama is afraid of what an investigation into the allegations of Russian hacking would uncover.
And they STILL lost over a thousand races while he was president.
“Obama knows what old Bill has called him in private”
“Someone to get him coffee and shine his shoes!”
Exactly and you can bet your eye teeth that he has had a visit from some folks in the DoD/Intel communities reminding of that vociferously. He is being strong armed.
I’m still trying to figure out if Obama actually thinks Trump’s obvious joke about the Russians restoring Hillary’s deleted emails was serious or he’s just faking his indignation to score points. Hopefully, it’s the later. I’d hate to think he was that stupid.
Treason resulting in life at Leavenworth.
“I think BO would be delighted to see a booming economy which leaves most of his social agenda intact.”
I guess he doesn’t realize that to “see a booming economy,” all the “social agenda” will have to be dismantled. And it will, in short order.
Now that the DHS have been busted trying to hack the Pennsylvania election and Detroit was busted with over reporting votes it seems the Dummicrats have shot themselves in both feet.
Just dang... We have a lot of work ahead of us lancing the boil of what our leadership has become under Barrack Hussein Obama to use his Muslim convert name.
Bol! At this point, an alien abduction excuse wouldn’t be a surprise.
The funniest one I’ve read is that Hillary tried to visit WI and MI, but the Russians kept hacking her plane back to CA and NY.
Somedays, I think that Obozo is the dumbest person in America.
Then on some days, he seems like a fairly smart traitor.
