Fox News contributor Donna Brazile defended former President Barack Obama on Friday as he faced criticism for his response to Russian meddling during the 2016 election.
"I think they did everything they could without sounding all of the alarm bells," she said of Obama's administration. The subject came up as Fox News host Dana Perino asked Brazile on "The Daily Briefing" about Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report — something Brazile said should be a "wake-up call" due to its troubling findings about Russian interference.
If Obama did more on Russian meddling, she said, critics would have accused him of trying to help his former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, in her race against then-candidate Donald Trump.
"He was in a box," Brazile said of Obama. "Perhaps President Trump is in a box," she added, before calling for action to prevent future meddling. Her comments came as the Obama administration faced renewed scrutiny over spying on the Trump campaign.

Yeah, bad as Juan is, I find myself turning the channel more often when Brazile is on. Find something else interesting and just stay there.
You still look at Fox like it is the bastion of conservative views. It is not. It's not the old Fox. It's changed after the liberals took over. Ailes is gone. Murdoch's liberal son's run the place now. Expect it to get worse.
We all see these democRAT operatives get jobs as talking heads and analysts on CNN and MSNBC. You're kidding yourself if you think Fox is not just like them.
Fox News is no longer conservative, if it ever was.
Well gee, bert....glad you agree /s
How did you ever miss that, when it happened?
I’m getting old and disremembered I guess
:-)
In 2012, President Obama was overheard over a hot microphone telling President Dmitri Medvedev of Russia he would have “more flexibility” to negotiate with Putin after the election.
“This is my last election … After my election I have more flexibility,” Obama said...
Tell me again, who is COLLUDING?
HA!
She’s right; obama did everything he (was capable of doing) do, which, like with every other important aspect of the presidency, was pretty much a big zero.
I dare say that FOX has gone “TOLIET” even broadcasting this outright LIE.
But it’s bizarre. Everyone says Russia did something but no one seems to know just what it was.
Did Obama set up spies to check out Hillary’s campaign? Why wasn’t he trying to ‘protect’ her?
In other words, using the Donna Brazile 180 degree Lie Translator:
The Halfrican Dindu Nuffin.
except notify the candidate that he was a target ?
She is a good ugly, stupid cow, inside and out.
And she has the audacity to reach over and rub Jesse watters shoulder She has no respect none for the Five panel. She ruins it
Donna- You have shown in the past that you are much smarter than this remark.
Your comments can be read 2 completely different ways:
Obama actually did do ‘ALL HE COULD’.
OR: Obama was so INEPT that his BEST actions were sorely under effective.
If Obama did more on Russian meddling, she said, critics would have accused him of trying to help his former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, in her race against then-candidate Donald Trump.Total BS
Obama KNEW Russia was helping Clinton, that's why D Brazille said that the way she did.
She is a criminal too, giving questions to Hillary ahead of a debate is meddling with an election and is prosecutable
Of course she may have been threatened with possible Arkancide of her or her pets or her family.
But she should still be arrested, tried and convicted, and sent to Gitmo.
