(2017) Congress Demands Investigation Into Obama Admin Meddling in Foreign Elections
Free Beacon ^ | 3/14/17 | Adam Kredo

Posted on 02/16/2018 6:04:33 PM PST by Libloather

A group of leading senators is calling on newly installed Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to immediately launch an investigation into efforts by the Obama administration to sway foreign elections by sending taxpayer funds to "extreme and sometimes violent political activists" that promote leftist causes, according to a copy of the letter.

The lawmakers disclosed multiple conversations with foreign diplomats who outlined active political meddling by the Obama administration's State Department, including the use of taxpayer funds to support leftist causes in Macedonia, Albania, Latin America, and Africa.

**SNIP**

The latest disclosures of this activity mirror efforts by the Obama administration to send taxpayer funds to Israeli organizations that opposed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the country's last election.

how about including Obama’s military attacks on Libya, Syria, Somalia, and ....?

and his attempts to overthrow the governments of Egypt, Israel, UK, and...?

someone who maybe posted some political opinion on Facebook is all what Mueller wants to investigate? FARCE?

How about arming and funding Syrian rebels who used those very weapons to kill Christians? Both Obama and McCain would be charged with treason in a land where there as justice.

I wonder if Mueller ever heard of our ambassador being murdered in a little place called Benghazi?

Graham and Rubio were right there with McCain in supporting jihadis.

True, but it wasn't election meddling, as there was nary an election in sight. /S

And yet there is not even an investigation. Not enough Russians to trigger the Hillary lovers in the FBI and CIA.

I remembe being certain that the CIA was backing anti-Putin events in Russia. “Pussy Riot” events come to mind.
Also pro-homosexuality propaganda.

How about an investigation into how someone who admitted they were born a British subject was allowed to usurp the Oval Office?

When is Mueller going to indict Soros for meddling in US elections? He has been openly doing it for years.

If you go back to November 2011....legislative election came up in Russia, and oddly....suddenly Facebook, Google, and Twitter came out of thin air and became this vast anti-Putin tool. Three months go by and same dilemma for March 2012 Russian Presidential election? Same exact thing. Around this time period....Hillary goes and makes a couple of speeches which hint of the coming changes to Russia.

When all this smoke cleared....Putin and company were furious at the involvement of the US political machine. So in 2014 (if you follow the timeline by Mueller)...Putin and company sent a couple of guys to the US to collect intelligence.

Oddly, they aren’t looking at tanks, aircraft or missile silos. They are in the US to collect info on social media, how the US reacts to it, and how to use it. By 2015, they had their master plan.

I suspect if Mueller drags these 13-odd Russian guys in for meddling in the US election....the KGB will actually to the US and defend their guys, by laying out what happened in the two Russian elections and the Obama social media manipulation in Russia. If you were on the jury...how would you react? Would you be able to convict the Russians when you know that the US started this whole meddling process?

to convict knowing the US started the election meddling process?.........

The problem with Mueller is he's not after "truth, justice and the American way"......he just loves
cashing those huge US govt paychecks and will do anything to keep the tax dollars flowing.

IIRC, Obama donated $1 million to his cousin’s run for Kenya President.
