Trump: Obama blew off Russia threat because 'Hillary was going to win'
Washington Examiner ^ | 07/16/18

Posted on 07/16/2018 8:40:52 AM PDT by Liberty7732

President Trump said early Monday that former President Barack Obama ignored the threat Russia posed to the U.S. election because he thought Hillary Clinton would win, and that Democrats only started caring about Russia after Trump won.

"President Obama thought that Crooked Hillary was going to win the election, so when he was informed by the FBI about Russian Meddling, he said it couldn’t happen, was no big deal, & did NOTHING about it," Trump tweeted Monday from Finland, just before he was set to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin. "When I won it became a big deal and the Rigged Witch Hunt headed by Strzok!"

No need to put forward your false evidence if you think you’ll win anyway.

That's the impression I got from the start.
They did not care one iota about meddling as long as they thought the Russians were favoring Clinton.

Anyone with a room temperature IQ should see that Russia would have wanted to continue their on-going relationship with the very flexible Democrats, especially the very avaricious Clintons.

If Russia meddled at all, it would have been to help defeat Trump.

Trump's victory could not have been pleasing to Putin. An unknown quantity, a volatile man, a man who could not be bought, a man who clearly valued America First — the Russians would not have wanted this man in the White House.

Who can't see this?

What might be funny here (only a suggestion) is that the twelve Russians come forward and admit that they actually helped to create 2-million extra votes (all for Hillary) that it simply wasn’t enough, and that Trump actually won four additional states. At that point, the whole circus atmosphere would collapse.

Lefties are saying that the Russian hacking was “Trump’s fault.”

Of course they never answer the question: How?

Obama blew off Russia threat because ‘Hillary was going to win’

Pretty sad when the top Dem believes the fake polls that Podesta asked the MSN to gin up as “Join the bandwagon” propaganda for Hillary.

Pooty-Poot must have been VERY disappointed with Bill’s overpriced speeches to the Russian banks, and Pooty-Poot must have been VERY disappointed in how Hillary engineered the UraniumOne deal. He was SO pissed off at the Klintoons that he wanted Trump as president so Trump could cease Russian energy sales to Germany, pressure Russia to spend more on defense by having a stronger NATO, and box in Russia’s manafest destiny to reconstruct the USSR. Sure....Pooty-Poot wanted Trump? Seriously?

Vladmir to Donald when they met today: “.... the most interesting part, Donald, is that the DNC recruited and conspired with these twelve, as well as with those who were indicted previously.... They were all working on some type of ‘dossier’ that could be used against you if needed.....”

AND if they are willing to do all of those things, what qualms would they have about ANYTHING ELSE to try to stop Trump ?

Explains the goofy, OMG! look on the Halfrican's face when he met Pres-elect Trump.

All the dirt Hillary was expected to sweep under the rug, was now in the hands of the man Obama tried to destroy.

The swamp creatures and media are going nuts on how badly Trump handled the meeting with Putin.

I have learned to wait to see the end result with Trump, the road getting there may be long and circuitous, however he generally wins in the end.
