Donna Brazile: Obama did 'everything he could' to prevent Russian meddling
Fox News, Apr 19, 2019

Fox News contributor Donna Brazile defended former President Barack Obama on Friday as he faced criticism for his response to Russian meddling during the 2016 election.

"I think they did everything they could without sounding all of the alarm bells," she said of Obama's administration. The subject came up as Fox News host Dana Perino asked Brazile on "The Daily Briefing" about Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report — something Brazile said should be a "wake-up call" due to its troubling findings about Russian interference.

If Obama did more on Russian meddling, she said, critics would have accused him of trying to help his former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, in her race against then-candidate Donald Trump.

"He was in a box," Brazile said of Obama. "Perhaps President Trump is in a box," she added, before calling for action to prevent future meddling. Her comments came as the Obama administration faced renewed scrutiny over spying on the Trump campaign.

Obama to Trump: "Stop Whining" About A Rigged Election
Real Clear Politics, Oct 18, 2016

In a press conference Tuesday with the Italian Prime Minister, President Barack Obama told Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump to "stop whining" about rigged elections, saying that there is no evidence that election rigging has ever happened or could happen.

"Democracy survives because we recognize that there is something more important than any individual campaign, and that is making sure the integrity and trust in our institutions sustains itself. Because Democracy works by consent, not by force," he said.

But did he tell his Justice Dept, his AG, his DNI, his CIA director, his FBI director, etc?

It appears from empirical results, that he did NOT.
