Thursday on MSNBC, while reporting on a phone-in White House background briefing with officials from the Department of Homeland Security and the State Department about President Barack Obama’s newly announced sanctions on Russia for hacking during the 2016 American presidential election, NBC News chief foreign affairs correspondent Andrea Mitchell said the Obama administration is taking steps to “box in” President-elect Donald Trump so the sanctions are not easily reversible.

Obama is trying to sabotage the Trump administration.

Trump needs to have his director of the CIA investigate Obama's fraudulent reports and leaks to the media.

Scorched earth. If you can’t win, don’t leave anything left for those who do.

This is why Trump needs to be ruthless and root out all traces of Progressives in the federal government. They are at war with the American system and they need to lose that war.

Expect Obama to call Trump soon to tell him again how this is a smooth transition.

Dump the UN. Make a mutual defense treaty directly with Israel.

This actually makes me happy, because any goodwill Trump may have been willing to extend to Obama has evaporated completely by now.

No, the entire political system (Republicans, Democrats and the Media) is trying to box Trump into old policies that are proven to be failed policies. I trust that Trump will listen to them about as much as he listened to all the “advice” the media was given him throughout the course of the campaign. (Apologize, Drop Out, Give up, Just admit you were wrong blah blah blah). These people all make me sick. Where is the idiot Rand Paul who is always complaining about unnecessary wars? He is suddenly quiet but when Trump does or says something that he disagrees with he can’t find a camera fast enough. These politicians are the enemies of the American electorate. Hopefully people have fully realized that by now

Russia clearly interfered in the American elections, and now, at last, we can show you the evidence:

Perhaps the Ophonybama crowd will run afoul of several federal laws on their way out and President Trump will lockem up!

“Expect Obama to call Trump soon to tell him again how this is a smooth transition.”

Expect Trump to tell Obola that he’d better find a country to live in that doesn’t have an extradition treaty with the US if he doesn’t cease and desist with all the crap he’s doing right now.

My sentiment exactly.

Obama is trying to sabotage the Trump administration.

He is not going away even after leaving the office. He will be back to be a community agitator. He, his ilks, and Clintonoids will be vicious and relentless. If they cannot have their way, they are happy to burn everything down.

Only full-fledged civil war inside Dem party could distract them, but they may even win this war. Then back to non-stop attacks.

Hoping that they will fade away in time is too optimistic.
