Good question.

Could be that the evidence was not yet conclusive and Obama was allowing the investigators to do their work.

Could be that McConnell's insistence that he would accuse Obama of trying to tip the election might be part of it.

Could be that that since the IC didn't know all what went on, they didn't know how to stop it.

Now that the picture is getting increasingly clear, why isn't Trump enforcing the sanctions that Congress passed. Deadline for reporting back to Congress on the matter was Oct. 1st. So far, nothing.

That's the question of the moment.

Nope. All you know is that a novice (I think calling him a politician is very generous, since he knows nothing about governing) won an election.

You don't know that the country wanted change. You just know the people who voted for him (who were less than half the voters who voted) wanted whatever he was promising.

You also don't know he's smart. He's demonstrated the exact opposite for over a year now.

Swing states decided this election. So yes - the greater evil definitely won and third party voters were contributors.


No looking back now though as a conservative justices are appointed, etc - we can only hope to lessen the damage as much as possible.

Could someone please tell me what she just said? And that’s the best she could come up with!







OK, explain what she said.
She never said that. Lies and deflection, it's all your party has got.

Oh, and any attempts to discredit Snopes on this will be mocked and ignored unless you include to whom this remark was allegedly made, where and when and in what context.

Lol! Exactly. However, I doubt if any liberal will answer your question in a forthright manner, because.......they don't have a clue. Therefore they make excuses for Obama, who taught them well with the .....aahhh, well-a, hmmmmm....method of explaining what went wrong.

So now that the evidence is clearer, where are those sanctions Congress ordered and the POTUS signed?
