1. keep responding...

[kiri]

9. It is sad that Obama brought Merrick Garland to the fore. NT

[groundloop]

16. I truly believe Garland would have made a good Justice......

but not so much for AG.

[RockCreek]

18. And he was a "compromise" justice

believed to be confirmable. Not the needed skills set for AG. Especially in the post-Trump Biden administration.

[Joinfortmill]

20. Whatever.

[Grins]

21. Respond with a LAWSUIT for slander instead!

Trump would do it in a second!

He filed a $20 BILLION suit against Rupert Murdock and a newspaper over a story, one can be filed for slandering a former PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES! Make it $40 BILLION.

Obama reiterates conclusion of attempted Russian interference in 2016 election

WASHINGTON, July 22 (Reuters) - The office of U.S. Democratic former President Barack Obama said on Tuesday that a document issued last week by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence does not undercut the conclusion that Russia tried to influence the 2016 U.S. election but that it did not manipulate any votes.
"Nothing in the document issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election but did not successfully manipulate any votes," Obama's office said in a statement.

President Donald Trump accused Obama of "treason" on Tuesday, blaming him, without providing evidence, for leading an effort to falsely tie him to Russia and undermine his 2016 presidential campaign.
"These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction," Obama's office said.

3. Excellent point. Does this mean they are going to charge Marco Rubio with treason?

[soldierant]

4. Andy Borowitz suggested that, in response to the fake AI video

of Obama getting arrested, there is a real video of Trump**(*) getting arrested which Obama could release.

5. Well, Obama is a lawyer, so

He’s going to make a short meal of Trump’s move.

stupid to revisit this.

[gixxerlee]

7. I wonder if this is part of a larger picture

1. Of course this is meant to be a distraction from the epstein files.
2. If he does "arrest" Obama, surely he knows this would cause mass riots and protests. He would relish the idea of Obama in handcuffs.
3. Along with all the protests. Would it give him the right to claim Marshall Law? Shut down the government, stop elections?
He's not book smart, but he's conniving. I wouldn't be surprised if he hasn't already thought of something for him to keep power

13. The DOJ would need a federal judge to approve an arrest warrant.

I doubt that ever happends.

[Mblaze]

8. There"s that Obama

Talking fancy again. He doesn't have Trump's pure drivel style.

[Skittles]

10. excellent response

yes Trump is non-stop garbage but some things simply HAVE to be addressed, and Obama does it in a way that is eloquent and dignified.

[calimary]

11. Ooooooh maybe Marco Rubio will get in trouble now!

Forced out of the “inner circle” or some such thing, maybe?

12. shoot them down in flames sir.:)

14. That won't be in the history books, at least the Trump version.

15. A spokesperson for Obama pushed back on the Trump administration's claims,

A spokesperson for Obama pushed back on the Trump administration's claims, saying while they would "not normally dignify the constant nonsense" from the White House with a response, the claims are "outrageous enough to merit one."

"These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction," the statement said.

Trump's comments come after Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard submitted a criminal referral to the Department of Justice threatening the Obama administration.

Obama's spokesperson said that "nothing in the document issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election but did not successfully manipulate any votes."

"These findings were affirmed in a 2020 report by the bipartisan Senate Intellignce Committee, led by then-Chairman Marco Rubio," the Obama spokesperson said on Tuesday.
