So if these reports are true, President Obama is allowing the US government to be taken over by Russia.
If the reports are not true, President Obama is undermining the US government.

Without even a mention of losing the popular vote.
You don't know the popular vote count, they stopped the recount when they found 5 fake votes for each real vote Clinton received in Detroit.
Why isn't President Obama doing anything to stop Russia from taking over the US government?

Most of them seem to be here, although I think Week 9 is only on her Facebook so far.
Quote:
again FBI, but not a single public update or action on Russia’s interference with our election? So you’ll forgive us if we’ve lost our trust in institutions responsible for protecting we the people.
So she is blaming Obama for not protecting the US against a foreign take-over...
lol @ how stupid liberals are.

Just to be clear, the liberals are arguing that Obama allowed the FBI and the Russian government to subvert the US government.
That would make Obama the worst President in the history of the country.

Every time I think I've got a handle on how terrible Cheez Whiz Ceaușescu's presidency will be, I'm proven to have underestimated how horrible things are.
Trump predicted Britain’s exit from the EU will be a success and portrayed the EU as an instrument of German domination with the purpose of beating the U.S. in international trade. For that reason, Trump said, he’s fairly indifferent whether the EU breaks up or stays together, according to Bild.
Trump’s reported comments leave little doubt that he will stick to campaign positions and may in some cases upend decades of U.S. foreign policy, putting him fundamentally at odds with German Chancellor Angela Merkel on issues from free trade and refugees to security and the EU’s role in the world.
Garry Kasparov, as usual, is 100% correct:
Every FP position Trump takes, starting from total ignorance around year ago, is on Putin's wish list. Brexit, Ukraine, NATO, EU, Merkel.
Just to keep track, Trump has now gone from saying that the US should expand its nuclear arsenal to suggesting that he would use a nuclear arms-control agreement as a pretext for lifting sanctions on Russia economic sanctions on Russia as a ‘lever’ for a nuclear arms-control agreement. Mattis and Tillerson both pledged support for NATO and condemned Russian efforts to attack the liberal order; a few days later our soon-to-be President went back to bashing the alliance and promising to make nice with Russia. Even if you believe that the inertia of alliances, the so-called ‘deep state’, and that cooler heads will prevail, this is all extremely dangerous stuff. The incoming Trump administration is sending radically inconsistent signals on the American commitment to defend allies. This creates significant risks of miscalculation and escalation.
...
Beyond these concerns, what Trump proposes is, per the title, geopolitical suicide: trade conflicts with one of our most important allies, attempting to facilitate the dissolution of the European Union—which Russia views as a competitor for influence and a threatening force for political liberalization—and assaulting a critical American alliance already facing difficult challenges. Make no mistake: you should be very worried right now.

Trump's team has also ordered all politically appointed diplomats to leave their posts by Inauguration Day, breaking with tradition of allowing some ambassadors to stay on as their children finish out the school year.
That reports says Trump did not accept his resignation, therefore Obama is the one firing him in the middle of the inauguration.
Schwartz’s quotes make it clear this is not his choice, and that he does not want to leave his post in the middle of a task, such as the inauguration security.
So an unnamed source at the Pentagon, iow Obama, is telling the lie that it is Schwartz's choice to not stay on during the inauguration when asked to.

Military officials and Trump transition officials provided contradictory versions of the decision to replace Schwartz. As is customary for presidential appointees, the general submitted a letter of resignation to give the new administration a clean start.
Two military officials with knowledge of the situation said the Trump team decided to accept the resignation. A person close to the transition said transition officials wanted to keep Schwartz in the job for continuity, but the Army pushed to replace him.
Schwartz, who was appointed to head the Guard by President George W. Bush in 2008, maintained the position through President Obama’s two terms. He said his orders came from the Pentagon in the form of an email that names his interim successor, a brigadier general, who takes over at 12:01 p.m. next Friday...
One of the military officials said the Trump transition team receives lists of political appointees and can decide which resignations to accept. All resignations are effective at 12:01 p.m. on Inauguration Day.
