This looks REALLY bad for Obama in the last month of his Presidency. It makes him look really petty, because ultimately, what he’s doing is casting doubt on the validity of the election and the Trump Presidency.
Obama has ordered the United States intelligence community to investigate the election for “hacking attacks” that may have influenced the outcome of the Presidential race.

Counterterrorism advisor Lisa Monaco[2] announced the action.
“We may be crossing into a new threshold and it’s incumbent upon us to take stock of that,” Monaco said. The report will “impart lessons learned,” she said.
Odd, because 13 days ago Politico reported[3] that the Obama White House hasn’t found any evidence of Russian hacking and that they stood behind the results.
The Obama administration said it has seen no evidence of hackers tampering with the 2016 presidential election, even as recount proceedings began in Wisconsin.
“We stand behind our election results, which accurately reflect the will of the American people,” a senior administration official told POLITICO late Friday.
“The federal government did not observe any increased level of malicious cyber activity aimed at disrupting our electoral process on election day,” the official added. “We believe our elections were free and fair from a cybersecurity perspective.”
So which is it, Mr. President? Is there reason to believe that our election was manipulated by hackers, or are you just acting like a child?
