This is all designed to try and box Trump in. If Trump cancels this punishment on taking Office, watch the Democrats cry “collusion” & “treason”.
Trump won't be "boxed in." This will backfire and work to Trump's advantage and make Obama look like a moron.
Democrats cry collusion & treason.
These cats just keep poking the damned bear. For some reason, they WANT a civil war.
And my god, they flinch when we show up at the grocery store. Imagine their cleaning bill when we want to scare them !
Bingo. They also want to bait Trump into making foolish responses now, so they can lecture that he is not President yet, etc. I hope he just lets it pass by without comment.
On a deeper level, the Dems are trying to forestall Trump achieving a thaw with the Russians, allowing the US to triangulate against the Dems Chinese paymasters. The unintended consequence for the Dems is that they are giving Trump bargaining chips for the future.
