Obama Ordered Abuse Of Intelligence To Sabotage Trump Policies (http://www.moonofalabama.org/2017/03/obama-prodded-abuse-of-intelligence-to-sabotage-trump-policies.html)
In its last months the Obama administration ordered the intelligence agencies to collect and distribute information of contacts between the Trump campaign and Russia. This to prevent any change by the Trump administration of the hostile policy towards Russia that the Obama administration instituted. The intent was also gives the intelligence services blackmail material to prevent any changes in their undue, freewheeling independence.
The above is reported in a rather short New York Times piece published yesterday. The reporting angle captured in the headline is biased to set the Obama efforts into a positive light. But the Obama Administration Rushed to Preserve Intelligence of Russian Election Hacking.
But make no mistake. Not single shred of evidence has been provided that "Russia hacked the election" or had anything to do with various leaks of Clinton related emails. A lot of fluff and chaff was thrown around but not even one tiny bit of evidence.
The effort was clearly to sabotage the announced policy of the incoming administration of seeking better relations with Russia. Obama intended to undermine the will of the voters by abusing instruments of the state.

This comment on this article sums it up well for me:
I am starting to think we are seeing the end of the Democratic party.
Instead of having a good long cry into their pillows on election night. And maybe some bitterness for a week or two after. The Democrats have decided to keep doubling down.
In just a few months the Democrats entire identity has been attached to the hilarious 'teh Russians!!!' meme.
I don't see any signs of a grown up from the Democrats standing up and putting a stop to the self destructive infantile behavior we are seeing right now.
