Nearly every scandal that has plagued Donald Trump in the last several months involves Russia in some way. He’s been accused of everything from pre-election collusion with the Kremlin to lewd behavior involving Russian prostitutes. The overwhelming presence of Russia in these rumors is no accident. Not only is the focus on the Kremlin a political tactic created by the Clinton campaign — it also came from within the Obama administration.
The idea that Obama actively sought to defeat Trump is fairly obvious. The two men have had a tumultuous relationship since before Trump’s campaign began — and it only got worse after it got underway. But the lengths Obama went to put Trump away is now approaching scandal-worthy proportions.
Now, new evidence has been uncovered that proves the Obama administration’s involvement in pushing the Russia story.

And in 1988, President Ronald Reagan publicly cautioned presidential candidate Jesse Jackson against traveling to Moscow to seek the release of Soviet dissident Andrei Sakharov. Reagan remarked: “It is a case that there is a law, the Logan Act, with regard to unauthorized personnel, civilians, simply going to — or citizens — to other countries and, in effect, negotiating with foreign governments. Now that is the law of the land.”
Congress, for its part, has indirectly affirmed the Logan Act over the years. In the late 1970s, Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) attempted to repeal the act but was rebuffed by Sen. James Allen (D-Ala.), who argued, “I do not believe we need to have millions of secretaries of state running about carrying on foreign negotiations with foreign governments.” In 1980, the Logan Act had been dropped from a draft revision of the Criminal Code, but Sen. Bob Dole (R-Kan.) promised to amend the bill, saying: “It is the law of the land, it is on the books, and it should be enforced.” And in 2006, the House Ethics Committee warned departing members of the statutory restrictions of the Logan Act. Acknowledging that nobody in living memory had been prosecuted under the act, the committee nevertheless instructed “the law remains on the books.”
These episodes do not exhaust — by any stretch — the long career of the Logan Act, which has also found its way into a successful courts-martial and advice of the judge advocate of the armed services. The true history of the law should worry the Trump administration. If the public becomes aware of how much our government has relied upon the Logan Act, it will raise the temperature of the hot water these individuals are already in.
Of course they did they know if they create false stories some people, especially mainstream media, will eat it up. Go Trump
