TRUMP DISMISSED OBAMA BLAMEWORTHYNESS

The status quo media’s whilst nuts when president trump’s stated thursday in poland that nations apart from russia can also have been concerned with meddling within the 2016 u.S. Election.


In a vacuum, the president announcing that he thinks “russia” meddled inside the election, but “it could were others” too might now not cause a lot controversy. But with a media so heavily invested in the russia-trump narrative main to more than one misreports, retractions, and resignations, it makes feel that that is what the media could direct its laser consciousness on.

What they're ignoring, but, is the president’s broader factor of thinking then-president obama’s function as commander in chief throughout the alleged russian meddling, which cnn interestingly labeled as trump “blaming” obama.

From some other, possibly more sober point of view, trump posed a legitimate query for the ones truely involved approximately russian hacking:

Why did [President Obama] do not anything about it? He changed into informed it turned into russia through the cia … and he did not anything approximately it… they said he choked. I don’t suppose he choked… i suppose what came about became he idea hillary clinton become going to win the election and he stated let’s not do something approximately it. Had he thought the alternative way, he could have done some thing about it.”

The president makes a extreme allegation about a former president ignoring cyber safety breaches — as an alternative the media ignores and obfuscates with the aid of breathlessly reporting his claims that others might also had been concerned as properly. The president’s allegation is not without merit, but obama’s culpability inside the russian hacking is a query seldom requested, let alone replied.

A washington publish record found out that the cia briefed the obama white house as early as august 2016 that russian president vladamir putin had ordered the interference of the 2016 election with “the specific cause of supporting select donald trump.” it became not until oct. 7 that obama revealed russia became in the back of the hacking, and putin’s position in directly ordering it was now not released until december, a whole month after the election.

After trump’s victory in the 2016 election, the obama camp’s customer’s remorse kicked in, with one nameless senior reliable saying that they “sort of choked.” another senior authentic remarked that “[t]he white residence turned into mortified and bowled over” after trump won the election, and a sense of “wow, did we mishandle this” overtook the national security team.

Factcheck.Org referred to as president trump’s declare obama did nothing “deceptive” thursday, however the end flies within the face of comments from former excessive ranking intelligence officials in the obama management.

In may, former acting cia director underneath obama, micheal morell, changed into “struck” that the administration turned into concerned enough approximately hacking to ask the russians to “prevent” but “did not anything” after the caution had fallen on deaf ears. Obama’s former native land security director, jeh johnson, stated the state of being inactive left him with a experience of “cognitive dissonance.”

Democratic sen. Al franken of minnesota, in a current television look, said that the obama management “did think hillary might win” and that they did now not want to be seen as “putting their thumb on the scale.” the washington submit’s, aaron blake, concludes that if hillary clinton had gained the election russian meddling would now not be a “huge deal nowadays,” however on account that trump pulled off a slim disillusioned, “any number of factors should have tipped the scales.” these remarks can lead one to conclude that the trump-russia probe is little greater than bitter grapes in political circles and media stores, and an try to act after the truth.

If obama had thought trump turned into going to win, could which have compelled him to defend the u . S . In opposition to cyberattacks. Was his inactiveness to intelligence reports of russian meddling inside the election politically motivated, and perhaps left our election methods susceptible to overseas adversaries?

Those are questions that call for answers from former obama management officers. However with an status quo media singularly targeted on a story in place of journalistic integrity and duty, they're questions so that it will most probable continue to be unanswered.
