In a social media statement that can only be labeled psychotic, Trump blamed former President Obama for not stopping the Russia attack on the 2016 election that he claims never happened.
Trump tweeted:
Just out: The Obama Administration knew far in advance of November 8th about election meddling by Russia. Did nothing about it. WHY?

Yesterday, Trump called the Russia scandal a Democratic hoax:
…Why did Democratic National Committee turn down the DHS offer to protect against hacks (long prior to election). It's all a big Dem HOAX!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 22, 2017
Today, Trump is claiming that the scandal is real, and it is all Obama’s fault.
Guilty people throw as many conspiracies and allegations as they can muster at the crime that they are accused of committing. Trump is trying to muddy the waters by both denying that the election interference ever happened while blaming Obama if it did.
Trump just admitted that Russia interfered in the election, but if Russia interfered in the election that makes the investigations legitimate.
With each tweet, Trump is digging his way to impeachment or prison 140 characters at a time.
