President Trump again asked why the Department of Justice is not investigating the Obama administration for not doing “something” about Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
“Question: If all of the Russian meddling took place during the Obama Administration, right up to January 20th, why aren’t they the subject of the investigation? Why didn’t Obama do something about the meddling? Why aren’t Dem crimes under investigation? Ask Jeff Sessions!” the president tweeted early Monday, referring to his Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

In December 2016, then-President Obama expelled 35 suspected Russian intelligence operatives for retaliation for election meddling. He also imposed sanctions on four Russian individuals and five Russian entities, and ordered tow Russian compounds to be closed.
“Russia’s cyberactivities were intended to influence the election, erode faith in US democratic institutions, sow doubt about the integrity of our electoral process, and undermine confidence in the institutions of the US government,” a White House statement said at the time. “These actions are unacceptable and will not be tolerated.”

Because:
1. Russia meddled to help YOU.
2. Obama asked the IC to pull the threads together while YOU discounted their work & called them Nazis.
3. Obama hit Moscow with sanctions for meddling while your incoming NatSec Adviser reassured Russia’s ambassador you’d roll them back. https://t.co/HRyUUp8CKG— Colin Kahl (@ColinKahl) February 21, 2018
