Meddling happened under the Obama administration. It was well known that Russia was meddling in 2014 and that's before Trump was even a candidate. Some in Obama's own cabinet even admit that he didn't do anything because he traded the American election for his deal with Iran. He needed Russia , he even openly admitted on a hot microphone to giving them "more leeway once he was re-elected". Now what do you think he meant by that?
He also told his intelligence agencies to stand down when they affirmed that Russia was meddling.

The Mueller report flatly states that Russia began interfering in American democracy in 2014. Over the next couple of years, the effort blossomed into a robust attempt to interfere in our 2016 presidential election. The Obama administration knew this was going on and yet did nothing. In 2016, Obama's National Security Adviser Susan Rice told her staff to "stand down" and "knock it off" as they drew up plans to "strike back" against the Russians, according to an account from Michael Isikoff and David Corn in their book "Russian Roulette: The Inside Story of Putin's War on America and the Election of Donald Trump".
So enlighten me. Its a fact we knew Russia was meddling before Trump even put his name in the box. This is 100% fact. Now why didn't Obama stop it? Why did Ihe order his intelligence agencies to "stand down"?
