While the media obsess over an alleged Russian conspiracy to collude with Donald Trump to affect America’s 2016 presidential election, what about Obama’s interference in the elections of other countries? Most Americans have no idea that President Obama meddled in elections all over the world. And apparently, the media decided there’s no reason for Americans to know about this illegal activity.
Indeed, in 2016, the Los Angeles Times did a story on how America has interfered with other nation’s elections in the past, but they stopped short of mentioning the various foreign elections Obama tried to influence. But the same article reports that Obama “slapped Russia with new penalties for meddling in the U.S. Presidential election… by hacking into Democratic and Republican computer networks and selectively releasing emails.” Hypocrisy check, anyone?

Remember, Obama had to apologize to foreign leaders when it came out that he was recording their cell phone conversations.
Add a seventh example, Russian legislative election in Nov 2011, and the Russian Presidential election in Mar 2012.
How did this self admitted British subject usurp the office of President?
Extradite Obama!

“Was it stupidity on Mueller’s part”
I don’t think so. For now at lease like or not Mueller was successful in breathing new life into the tainted election narrative.
From the article “Nevertheless, the violation of both American and international law did not stop Obama from intervening repeatedly in the elections of other nations. Moreover, most of Obama’s meddling was known by many foreign correspondents and if it was reported at all, it was downplayed. Most certainly, the media did not condemn it nor drop hints about impeaching Obama.”
The double standard and hypocrisy is breath taking . They left off the Ukrainian intervention which not only meddled but staged a violent military coup to overthrow that democratic election.
It's the double standard that perhaps ticks me off the most.
There is no longer jounalism. It is just communism.
It would be hilarious if Trump came out and said, “The US will no longer interfere in your elections. That was a Obama-era mistake that we will put and end to.”
Then lets see if the media has the balls to print articles extolling the benefits of us interfering in foreign elections.
Has been for a long time.
I even saw Fox this morning blabbering about “ARE WE GOING TO DO ANYTHING” but never suggesting what “anything” was !! What is the proposal? We know the issue— What specifically do they propose? That is totally missing!!
Off topic, but tangentially related:
IF we are so freaked out by Russia’s interference in our elections -— why are we not incensed by Mexico’s interference with OUR entire political structure??? How many ads have Mexican nationals produced in an in-your-face effort to influence OUR elections and elected officials? How many Mexican nationals have actually been elected, i.e., infiltrated OUR government at the local level, in order to circumvent OUR laws? How many booklets have the Mexican Government produced and published helping and even encouraging Mexican nationals to invade OUR country and access OUR social systems for the benefit of Mexico? I can’t remember ever seeing hundreds of Russians take to OUR streets in protest of OUR laws and American interests. Why are we not holding Mexico and Mexicans in the same contempt as Russians for doing exactly the same thing -— except exponentially more of it? Do they get a pass just because we have a long contiguous border? Will it really matter, in the end, WHO usurps OUR government???
Ditto
But that was leftist muslim king of the world and known universe....barky boy...perfectly ok...
None so blind as those who refuse to see.
Nor so deaf as those who refuse to hear.
I’m shocked that the International Court of Justice hasn’t filed charges against Obama yet. /sarcasm
