So Obama isn’t waiting for the report he ordered before taking action. He’s acting on supposition, if you give him the benefit of the doubt as to his motivation (which I don’t). Actually, he’s giving cover to HRC’s failed campaign, the rejection of his Presidency and the rejection of Liberal Democratic philosophy.

Scorched earth works both ways. IF President Trump doesn’t want to be called out in particular for “siding with Russia”, he can just wipe out Obama’s entire legacy:
- revoke all Obama executive orders without exception
- repeal all Obama-era regulations without exception
- repeal Obamacare and all other federal laws passed in the past eight years without exception
- then start working on older bad laws, such as the National Firearms Acts

Exactly correct. First that whole recount ploy didn’t work, so...

Next they tried blaming the Russians, a pathetic mind game in which no one lodges any credibilty, then...

George Soros began writing whining letters to whomever he thought might listen, then...

The utter tool obama told everyone he’s staying in Washingon after Trump assumes office, so he can shoot his ignorant, Marxist mouth off...

And the real irony of it all is that, by this time next year, obama and obama-ism and the clintons and all the democrats’ Leftist, control-freak bullsh1t will have vanished like a foul-smelling fart on a bus.

Trump will appear to let this pass, for at least the next 21 days. Look to the people who have crossed him. They won’t know what hit them until they are given an opportunity to lick their wounds. The difference to vengeance is this will be comeuppance. Big difference in that one gets even while being hellbent on an outcome, the other can destroy without being singularly direct or myopic. Think death by a trillion butterfly bites.

Yes, and S. Hayes went bonkers over that, with its implication that this was being done precisely to “box him in.”

working together? Maybe on Israel they are all definitely working together against Israel. That was easy, and shows what dimwit OBama is. On this other thing, it’s a nothing burger. Obama looks like a twit.

He interrupted the discussion to bring attention to her (Karen Tumulty) statement, while she sat there and merely smiled.

Can’t do anything permanent without Congress and the Senate voting on something. Trump and the Russians are already bypassing Obama so this is a childless temper tantrum.

Let us hope that Miss Key’s editor at Brietbart will insist that she break up her sentences so that they are more readable by the common man...70 plus words in a lead sentence is quite discomforting...

I’m with that. As for siding with Russia, he can still do that on issues in which Russia is doing the right thing, such as fighting Islamic terrorism. Liberals be damned with their conspiracy theories. Where Russia is wrong we can disagree without going to all out war. One thing you left out in Obama’s “legacy” is the deal which seemingly bows to Iran while making the rest of the world vulnerable.

Who can ever forget that dufus look on her face during the 2008 RNC convention, when all the balloons came raining down and engulfed her. Ha! Such a tool she is. She looked like a petulant, spoiled, snotty bimbo so unhappy with having to cover the convention. Ha!
