It’s been confirmed. As President Obama was leaving office, he and his Administration took great pains to sabotage incoming President Trump.
Sean Spicer, White House Press Secretary, has said that the Obama administration was creating a ‘false narrative to make an excuse for their own defeat’.
Aaaand it turns out that Spicey was right.
During Obama’s final days the administration was spreading ‘fake news’ about Trump Administration connections to Russia.
President Trump’s claims that the Obama administration sought to undermine his presidency received some support on Wednesday from a New York Times report on the Obama White House’s activities in the weeks before the inauguration.
According to The Times, Obama White House officials waged a campaign to procure, save and disperse classified intelligence regarding Trump associates’ contacts with Russians.
The campaign also involved curtailing the Trump team’s access to highly classified information and of lowering classification ratings on other information about the ongoing Russia investigation so that it could be more widely shared across the government.
According to The Times’ sources, the Obama officials waged the campaign out of fear that the Trump administration would cover up or destroy some of the information…
…That report noted that U.S. officials do not yet have evidence of any coordination between Trump advisers and the Russian government to influence the election. The White House strongly denied the claims made in that report, and asserted the FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe told Trump’s chief of staff, Reince Priebus, that the story was “bullshit.”…
…The State Department, then led by John Kerry, also took part in the intelligence-sharing campaign. The agency sent a batch of documents classified as “Secret” to Maryland Sen. Ben Cardin, the top Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee, just before the election.
The Obama officials also moved to cap the number of incoming Trump officials who could view extremely sensitive information, “including the names of sources and the identities of foreigners who were regularly monitored.”
The scheme would seem to lend support to Trump’s claims that the Obama White House sought to undermine his presidency by leaking classified information.

Watch:
As stated in the Daily Caller, even the New York Times reported on it:
In the Obama administration’s last days, some White House officials scrambled to spread information about Russian efforts to undermine the presidential election — and about possible contacts between associates of President-elect Donald J. Trump and Russians — across the government. Former American officials say they had two aims: to ensure that such meddling isn’t duplicated in future American or European elections, and to leave a clear trail of intelligence for government investigators…
…Sean Spicer, the Trump White House spokesman, said, “The only new piece of information that has come to light is that political appointees in the Obama administration have sought to create a false narrative to make an excuse for their own defeat in the election.” He added, “There continues to be no there, there.”

Isn’t that sweet of Barry?
Latch on to the Fake News about Russia and perpetuate it.
Just like his buddies at CNN and Buzzfeed did.
Obama didn’t really accomplish anything in his 8 years that will last.
President Trump is undoing Barry’s ‘legacy’ every single day.
The coup de grace will be the repealing and the replacing of Obamacare.
No wonder he’s determined to undermine the Trump Presidency.
