Seriously.
It makes no sense to me that he didn't order it acted upon while he was still in office?

(45,004 posts)It may be as simple as they didn't appreciate what happened or hadn't connected all the dots or... this is masterful Obama-style 4D chess designed to take down as many Republicans with Trump as possible...decimating their party for generations.

(365 posts)Obama was trying not to be partisan. They were afraid it would affect the election and the repugs would scream foul ball. Also says they thought Hills would win and then it could be investigated properly. But I have said along I did not think Obama walked out of the WH knowing what was known at the time without a plan in place for the truth to come out! I luvs me some Obama!

(21,582 posts)i think he felt if he thrust this out into the world, instead of letting journalists do their damn jobs, it never would have been taken seriously.

(34,661 posts)he was going to use the appropriate Agencies and Legal process . Earlier story had Obama and Biden concerned as to the spread of these Hacking Events and documented Contacts within the Trump Campaign ad Russian go between's. Notice also,Obama's Concern for European Elections,so what was happening in DC was just the tip of the Iceberg,it also apparently happening to our Allies. Now after the Election,we learn Mr. Obama was right about the extent of the Trump/Putin Treason association.
