Donald Trump Blames Obama For Russia’s Action During The 2016 Elections

Donald Trump Blames Obama For Russia’s Action During The 2016 Elections
  • PublishedJuly 23, 2018

U.S. President, Donald Trump, has played the blame game by blamingย formerย  President Barack Obama, for Russia’s interference in the 2016 elections.

In a tweet,ย Trump accused Barack Obama of doing nothing about Russia’s action in the elections during his tenure while also saying the alleged election meddling was a hoax, saying it was the reason Obama did not act.

He said Obama thought the Democratic presidential candidate and arch-rival, Hillary Clinton, was going to win.

Trump tweeted: โ€œSo President Obama knew about Russia before the Election. Why didnโ€™t he do something about it?

โ€œWhy didnโ€™t he tell our campaign? Because it is all a big hoax, thatโ€™s why, and he thought Crooked Hillary was going to win!!!โ€™โ€™

The president took a swipe at the whole Foreign Intelligence Surveillance (FISA) warrant application, released by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) against Carter Page, a Trump campaign foreign policy adviser.

Trump described Pageโ€™s FISA documents as a scam, โ€œwhich led to the rigged Mueller Witch Hunt!โ€™โ€™.

Alleged Russiaโ€™s interference in the 2016 presidential election, in which Trump won by electoral college but lost to Clinton by almost four million popular votes, led to the set-up of the special panel headed by Robert Mueller.

The FBI on Saturday released a redacted version of the warrant application on Page, marking the first public disclosure of a highly sensitive FISA request.

Trump said that the FISA documents โ€œconfirm with little doubtโ€™โ€™ that the Justice Department and the FBI โ€œmisled the courtsโ€.

Trump went on to allege that his campaign was potentially being โ€œillegallyโ€ surveilled for โ€œ`the political gain of โ€Crooked Hillary Clintonโ€ and the DNCโ€™โ€™ (Democratic National Congress).

โ€œLooking more and more like the Trump Campaign for President was illegally being spied upon (surveillance) for the political gain of Crooked Hillary Clinton and the DNC.

โ€œAsk her how that worked out โ€“ she did better with Crazy Bernie. Republicans must get tough now. An illegal Scam!โ€™โ€™ Trump tweeted.
