No, I don't agree. Some of the Dems wanted there to be a more vocal public position on the hacking before the election. But it would have played VERY badly - you know it. How would the rightwing media and the Trump campaign have spun it? Obama attempts to rig the election with "fake" hacking claims....oh that would have been a doozy.
That's what I just said. No one cared about appearances of Obama interfering in the election. It was the Dems who didn't want to handle the fall-out from "another email investigation". And between Hillary's arrogance and stupidity in HER electronic comm system that she created and the obvious lack of regard for cyber security at the DNC and Podesta's communications -- it would just highlight ineptness.
INVESTIGATING a potential International act of ESPIONAGE --- could never be spun as "fake hacking" claims.
If anything, it would either be solved and the Dems would be the VICTIMS of a crime. Whether it was the Kremlin, some other hackers or a disgruntled Bernie supporter at the DNC..
You can't beat the "victim card".. It HAPPENED. But Obama and crew took a snooze on solving it definitely and/or taking measures to stop FURTHER similar intrusions and INSTEAD --- used the ALLEGATION as the defense for spying on the Trump campaign... MAYBE -- they didn't WANT ALL the facts..
