DAY 132: Trump wants to lift sanctions imposed by Obama to Russia because of 2016 meddling

According to the Washington Post, Donald Trump is actually considering lifting sanctions imposed by Barack Obama on Russia as punishment for Russia meddling in the 2016 elections.

In this case, Trump is considering returning property in Maryland to Russia that was ordered vacated by Obama because it was being used for spying.

From the WP article:

The Trump administration is moving toward handing back to Russia two diplomatic compounds, near New York City and on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, that its officials were ejected from in late December as punishment for Moscow’s interference in the 2016 presidential election.

President Barack Obama said Dec. 29 that the compounds were being “used by Russian personnel for intelligence-related purposes” and gave Russia 24 hours to vacate them. Separately, Obama expelled from the United States what he said were 35 Russian “intelligence operatives.”

So it's finally happening. Trump is basically rewardning Russia for meddling in the 2016 election. No wonder Trump doesn't want the FBI to keep digging on the Russia meddling.
