Congratulations from the White House criticized by CNN, etc...

Even members of President Donald Trump's own party are criticizing him for congratulating Vladimir Putin on winning Sunday's election.

The two leaders talked over the phone on Tuesday and discussed U.S.-Russia relations and denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula. Mixed in, according to the White House, was Trump's congratulations.

But Russian elections aren't known for being fair or democratic; video shows ballot boxes being stuffed on Sunday, which resulted in at least 76 percent of the votes going to Putin. [/quotes]

OOPS:
Flashback: Obama Congratulated Putin on His 2012 Election
View attachment 2081

Barack Obama Gave Vladimir Putin Congratulatory Call in 2012 | National Review

DOUBLE STANDARD?

Was there an ongoing investigation into Russian meddling in our elections that was roiling our government when Obama congratulated Putin?

Did Obama's National Security Advisor send him a memo imploring him: DO NOT CONGRATULATE PUTIN ON HIS ELECTION VICTORY. And did Obama ignore that instruction and do it anyway?

So, no. No double standard.

No because Obama administration didn't care that there should have been.
They were too involved with the Russian Uranium deal.

No they knew Putin had received a message from Obama.

“This is my last election," Obama said. "After my election I have more flexibility.”
“I understand," Medvedev said. "I will transmit this information to Vladimir."

FLASHBACK--Obama Whispers Message for Putin in 2012: 'After My Election, I'll Have More Flexibility'

So yes double standard.
The Russians have meddled in our affairs since the end of WWII stealing our nuclear secrets among others including being handed over our Uranium.

This is your defense:
But....but....Obama.
But...but....Hillary.

The National Security Advisor warned Trump not to congratulate Putin on his election "win" in a memo using capital letters, and Trump just went right ahead and did it anyway.

You mean a phony investigation completely political with no evidence to warrant it in the first place (which you supported). You mean the investigation that's been debunked with deep state goons now getting fired and demoted? You mean the investigation based on a discredited document paid for by crooked Hillary? That investigation? No I guess not.

Since when does the NSA head dictate to the POTUS? Those elections in Russia were as much as a sham as always but even the EU called in their congrats, it's just what you do.

And McMaster is not happy in the job and is on his way out and I think everybody involved can't wait for this. Thing never shoud've been leaked, hope it wasn't by McMaster himself or he might be out tomorrow.

Maybe this time it would have been a good tactic not to do it.

Yes. the deep state is corrupt from the top down and is hypocritical as well.

So What?

He hasn't given the Russians our Uranium.
Guess they overlooked that in the last administration, or warned them not to give Iran billions to build nuclear devices,

This is as boneheaded as de Valera's (then Prime Minister of the Republic of Ireland) signing the condolence book for Hitler at the German embassy in Dublin.
