President Trump<\/a><\/span> questioned Monday why former President Obama didn\u2019t\u00a0take action on Russian interference in the 2016 election, despite Obama having implemented sanctions against the country over its meddling.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Obama was President up to, and beyond, the 2016 Election. So why didn\u2019t he do something about Russian meddling?<\/p>\n

The tweet comes just days after special counsel Robert Mueller<\/a><\/span> indicted more than a dozen Russians and three Russian groups for election interference.<\/p>\n

Trump has tweeted about Moscow\u2019s hacking and the U.S. investigations into it multiple times across the Presidents Day weekend, which he is spending at his Mar-a-Lago resort in South Florida.<\/p>\n

\n

I never said Russia did not meddle in the election, I said \u201cit may be Russia, or China or another country or group, or it may be a 400 pound genius sitting in bed and playing with his computer.\u201d The Russian \u201choax\u201d was that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia \u2013 it never did!<\/p>\n

\n

If it was the GOAL of Russia to create discord, disruption and chaos within the U.S. then, with all of the Committee Hearings, Investigations and Party hatred, they have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. They are laughing their asses off in Moscow. Get smart America!<\/p>\n
