Donna Brazile: Obama did 'everything he could' to prevent Russian meddling
Fox News ^ | 4/19/19 | Sam Dorman

Posted on 04/20/2019 4:34:31 AM PDT by Libloather

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.

Or, Donna is on to provide a high order punching bag, a source to be ridiculed

Considering that Dorkbama has virtually no ability to do anything useful to anyone, “everything he could” appears to be congruent to the null set.

What “meddling” did the Russians do? Where is the evidence? This was the first mistake the GOP made, immediately conceding the premise, as usual.

Before the election Trump said he may not accept the results due to outside tampering and was hammered by Obama and the media.

We’ve stopped watching The Five since they included Donna Brazile. I don’t believe a word out of her mouth. Why Fox decided to hire someone who is known to lie and cheat to achieve her aims is beyond me.

That puts my time of watching Fox down to zero.

Why do you watch any program she is on? If Fox wants to be CNN let them.

Feinstein fired the Chinese right hand man. He drove her limo so he had access to most of her conversations. He had worked for her for a long time. As we know, the Chinese commies place people in the US under the threat that their families will be harmed in some way if they dont produce. At the least they will lower their social score so they cannot get jobs etc.

Donna Brazile, Shepherd Smith, and Juan Williams...

Worst commentators on FOX NEWS. I switch channels when they are on the air.

I wish I was 12 so I could watch all these jackasses grow old and curmudgeonly and get eaten up with worms and cancers.

FOX is tabloid trash television. No offense to anyone here who watches it, but after seeing the first two minutes of any show, it’s obvious to me that it’s geared to a TV viewer with an IQ of 90.
