President Trump praised Fox News on Tuesday for creating a comprehensive timeline of the Obama administration’s failures to keep Russia out of the U.S. political system, and to keep Russia in check around the world.
“Thank you to @foxandfriends for the great timeline on all of the failures the Obama Administration had against Russia, including Crimea, Syria and so much more,” Trump tweeted. “We are now starting to win again!”

“Fox and Friends” discussed why former President Obama had not done anything to stop Russian election meddling if he was aware of its existence during his presidency.
Trump followed up his tweet with two more Tuesday morning saying the only reason Obama said there was no real reason to believe the Russians would rig the 2016 presidential election was because he thought Hillary Clinton was going to win.
“There is no serious person out there who would suggest somehow that you could even rig America’s elections, in part because they’re so decentralized and the numbers of votes involved,” Obama said nearly a month before the presidential elections. “There’s no evidence that that has happened in the past or that there are instances in which that will happen this time. And so, I’d advise Mr. Trump to stop whining and go try to make his case to get votes.”
Trump claimed Obama only said this because he “didn’t want to ‘rock the boat,’” should “Crooked Hillary” win the election.

….The President Obama quote just before election. That’s because he thought Crooked Hillary was going to win and he didn’t want to “rock the boat.” When I easily won the Electoral College, the whole game changed and the Russian excuse became the narrative of the Dems.
