Former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton agreed with Fox News host Sean Hannity on Monday that the Obama administration’s decision to investigate Russia’s alleged hacking of Democratic officials is an example of “selective moral outrage.”
“Obama could have fixed this eight years ago. It’s a problem that President Obama has done nothing to fix. And in the past couple of years alone, government agencies like the Office of Personnel Management, the IRS, the Department of Defense, the State Department, the White House have all been hacked and the list goes on and on,” Bolton said.
“So where was the outrage from Obama and the Left on that? There wasn’t much and now they’re up in arms over allegations of hacking because they lost an election so they want to delegitimize the guy that won.”
Bolton, who is being considered for positions in the State Department, said it’s no surprise to him that people believe they will get away with it because “the Obama administration has downplayed the damage that was being done for years.”
Instead, Bolton called for an open investigation of the incidents, including looking into the possibility of a false flag operation.
“The reason I’ve raised the possibility of a false flag operation, that it was people planting evidence to point their finger at Russia, there may be somebody else with stakes here. I have not said it was the Obama administration that said that. I think it was another foreign government. Nobody has explained why they’re so certain it’s the Russians,” Bolton said.
On Sunday, Bolton brought up the false flag operation and his comments were taken as being against the White House. Bolton clarified Monday morning on Fox News what he again said Monday night to Hannity.
