As Morgan Chalfant explains it in the Washington Free Beacon: “In his first term, Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton collaborated on a failed “reset” policy with Russia. The reset was meant to reverse what Obama described as a “dangerous drift” in bilateral cooperation between the United States and Russia.”
“Obama and other Democrats scrutinizing Russia appear to be motivated by political opposition to Trump, who has made favorable and often controversial statements about Putin and the U.S. relationship with Russia. Trump has cast doubt on reports that the intelligence community concluded that Moscow intervened in the U.S. election to help him win.”
“Today Obama boasts about telling Vladimir Putin to “cut it out” with hacking attacks targeting the U.S. elections, but less than five years ago he was caught on a hot mic telling then-President Dmitry Medvedev that he would have “more flexibility” on issues important to Russia.”
“On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved but it’s important for him to give me space,” Obama told Medvedev in March 2012 during a Nuclear Security Summit in Seoul, South Korea, before Putin took over the Kremlin.
“This is my last election,” Obama said. “After my election I have more flexibility.”[end]
Now all of a sudden, Russia and Putin are the big enemy of both Obama and Clinton, especially when it comes to their attempt to cover-up the leaked emails and the “server-in-the-basement” that allowed Wikileaks to infiltrate DNC messages etc etc. Ultimately of course, this led to the rise and ascension of The Trumpit Call and the demise of Obama and Hillary’s bid for the top banana, under the guise of Hillary being the third term of Obama’s ruination of America. So what the hey, let’s blame Vladimir Putin and be done with it.
Well to their credit, yesterday on Morning Joe, Mika, Joe and the panel were having none of it…
Mmmmm … I guess it couldn’t have been her corruption that lost her the election, could it? A news story hurt her … Mmmmm … Trump had a whole campaign of Big Media, Hollywood, government bureaucracies, both political parties, the education system, plus a cabal of intimidation by the left and the right, with story after story after story against him, and he still won. “Yugely!” Trump versus Hillary for the betterment of the nation was a no-brainer, but to blame the loss on a Russia hacking problem is just downright foolishness. She should be happy she’s not in jail.
She and her husband have been political gypsies, tramps, and thieves for as long as they’ve been scarring the landscape with their corruption, and to think under different circumstances she might well have stolen the election, is to be thankful that the Trumpit Call sounded at just the right time!
The left threw everything at Trump, and she kept getting one exposure after another about her corruption, and she wants to blame the news and leak for her loss? I’ve heard some doozies in my time, but my Lord, they sound like babies whining and stamping their feet and screaming to get what they want. The left is hysterical in its hysteria, and this loss of theirs is beyond enjoyable!
