Andrea Mitchell: Obama Admin Hopes to ‘Box In’ Trump on Russian Sanctions
Breitbart ^ | 29 Dec 2016 | Pam Key

Posted on 12/29/2016 8:07:13 PM PST by detective

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.

That’s the plan :-)
Change will certainly be appreciated. I do look forward to BO’Bs eating crow...almost as much as seeing him in stripes, behind bars. Hide the Vaseline! He might try to escape by greasing up and slithering between the iron bars.

PE TRUMP, winning before walking through our White House doors. 2017 proves to be an eventful year.

Trump can be an SOB and do it with grace and a smile. He toyed with Romney and Cruz. They came when he whistled, they groveled, they ate his cuisine and they left with nothing while the MSM crowed about how he was betraying his base.

As you say: they are on the outside now.

“Petulant” was an early entry on Laz’s list of adjectives describing our soon-to-be-evicted White Hut resident. For good reason.

If Putin has a sense of humor, he’ll only expel Obama appointees.

I wonder if the stupid moron Andrea Mitchell thinks that’s the way a presidential transition is supposed to go in America. As far as I know, this partisan democrat hack has never had any problem with anything her little half black messiah’s ever done.

Agree. Trump will move on and not be distracted.

Me, on the other hand, I would tell my intelligence community that we are not interested in Obozo’s post presidential security. Let the Secret Service handle anything as it comes along.

All these problems in the country and the world and Obama and Andrea Mitchell are playing these silly, childish games.

It's all Hussein has left.

Hussein is a felon and if the Trump gov't wants him and Hillary, then they are going down. By agitating, Hussein and Hillary can plead political harassment.

It is their only chance to stay out of jail.

Knowing Trump, it is NOT going to work.

0bama is working with Islam to overthrow the United States government.

It is what Muslims do, they destroy from within and then they enslave.

It is why the Muslim President hates Jews and Israel.

It is why Hussein has worked so hard to flood the US with Muslims.

It is why Hussein and useful idiot Hillary assisted ISIS and other Muslim terrorists in Egypt, Libya and Syria.

LOL! Zip, zero, nada.... No evidence whatsoever!

I’ll never believe the Russians interfered in the election.

I’d have to look back, but this theory seems to have come out a week or two or more after the recount efforts didn’t seem to be helping Hillary.

LOL! Agreed.

I think Trump and Bibi will work well together.

Mossad is an organization not to be tampered with.

Has anyone suggested the possibility that Putin and Obama are working together on this? After all hasn’t Obama given Putin everything he’s wanted up to this point?

I can think of many reasons this could be the case.

I honestly think that is what they are trying to do.

Start a war with Russia, cause as much chaos as they can in the days they have left.

Bibi, Vlad... The grown-ups are coming. And we will help you to take care of Muslim extremists.

Still remember that horrible attack on that Russian elementary school.

How can there be evidence of something that didn’t happen?
