Discussion: Obama Urges Trump To Back Bipartisan Probe Into Foreign Influence On Election

The Trump camp could care less what Obama says or suggests to them.

I never thought I would see a Dem President leaving office castigating Russia and the incoming Republican President-elect praising Russia.

Surrender as fast as possible.
Obama doesn’t really expect any of the thugs espiacially comrade drumpf to do anything that would reveal the depths of their dishonesty.
If he really cared he would declassify all the info with names and dates to the public and file charges against any who cooperated with a foriegn power to subvert the country.
alas that would require some real committment to the country and placing public good over his personal comfort and future pay days so can’t do that.
This is nothing but a flim flam so he can exit stage right.
next stop Heritage foundation, where he got his health care plan and most of his policy initiatives.

Good luck on that!

I hate to agree.

How about charges against those complicit in the espionage? Weak sauce, Obama.

Thoughtful about the approach to Syria. Thoughtful about the election process. Thoughtful about China.

We can all say goodbye to thoughtfulness now.

Aloha and thank you President Obama.

What has me really depressed is just imagining the godawful speech HOs gonna give after he’s sworn in: “Fellow Americans, you now have the bigliest and most tremendous president ever, believe me, and I’m gonna win soooo much! It’ll make your head spin, so much much win!” We’re going from Pavarotti to Pepe the frog.

I’ll never understand how this election can stand when there’s ample proof that it was (dare I say it?) rigged!

A foreign power manipulated events in order to hamper/alter an election and we’re supposed to just go, OK guess we’re stuck with it?!

Trump would need authorization from Moscow to participate in any such thing. Such authorization will obviously not be forthcoming and without it, further pro-Trump hacking of the US democracy may not be tk support of the vital 2020 election!

Shouldn’t intelligence agencies finish their investigation so he knows exactly which charges to file and whom to charge? Or should he just indiscriminately file indiscriminate charges against whomever he feels in order to make you feel good? If that’s how you think government should operate then you’re in luck because the next administration will be doing exactly that.

Yeah. No shit. I don’t know how this is supposed to stand. The only bright sides I can see is that Putin is holding and that Trump already goes in hated by half the country.

What has me even more depressed than the godawful speech Pepe will give after he’s sworn in are the speeches he’s going to give over the next FOUR years, especially the ones after a national or international tragedy.

Just another establishment Democrat UNDERESTIMATING the amorality and corruptibility of establishment Republicans.

What has to happen before Democrats stop pretending that Republicans are capable of being intellectually or morally ethical, honest or good?!

He doesn’t underestimate it but what the hell do you want him to say? Half the country is a basket of deplorables?

Exactly. What do people expect him to say? Get up there and cuss Pepe out? And just exactly what will that change? Oh, right, it’ll make 'em feel good.

Even more depressing than what comes out of his mouth is what is going on his head (and dare I say it, heart?).

He could start with comey and his partisan behavior and failure to protect voting system.The FBI thuglican shills will never offend their master comrade drumpf by finishing it before it can be drowned in the bathtub by the usurpers government and the CIA knows that putin is their new master and will toe the line as soon as putins puppet takes the oath.
So exactly how long are we to wait for the investigation to be completed?
This is like poppa bushes 7 years of perjury about his diaries on Iran/Contra put off as long as possible then pardon anyone who might testify against you.
Or if someone is actually silly enough to believe in their oath of office pull them off the case and send them to fargo or then to further investigate benghazi.
So who and when do you expect to finish investigation?
A bit like all the self regulating of industries by industries.
Nothing good ever happens.

Oh please, never urge a sociopath to do anything.
