Barack Obama sent Hillary Clinton to reset the Russian relationship, including handing them a physical button as a symbol of that reset.

Then, Obama, on stage with Putin’s flunky Medvedev, over a hot microphone tells Medvedev to make sure Putin understands he will have more flexibility after the election.

Obama then famously ridiculed Mitt Romney for suggesting the Russians were a threat to the United States. On top of that, Democrat allies in the press piled on Romney to refute his claim about Russian.

And lastly, the Russians tried to disrupt the American in election in 2016 while Obama was in office and Obama did little to nothing to stop them.

Maybe Barack Obama was the Russian agent — a willing or obliviously useful idiot for Vladimir Putin. Or maybe he, like Trump, is not. But the Democrats are as unwilling to let go of the idea that Trump is in Putin’s pocket as they were unwilling to let go of the idea that Russia was not a threat in 2012.
