The Obama Administration moved swiftly to preserve information about Russian hacking. It's a good thing they did too, since Trump's new AG seems to be compromised as well.

Courtesy of the New York Times:  

In the Obama administration’s last days, some White House officials scrambled to spread information about Russian efforts to undermine the presidential election — and about possible contacts between associates of President-elect Donald J. Trump and Russians — across the government. Former American officials say they had two aims: to ensure that such meddling isn’t duplicated in future American or European elections, and to leave a clear trail of intelligence for government investigators. 

American allies, including the British and the Dutch, had provided information describing meetings in European cities between Russian officials — and others close to Russia’s president, Vladimir V. Putin — and associates of President-elect Trump, according to three former American officials who requested anonymity in discussing classified intelligence. 

Separately, American intelligence agencies had intercepted communications of Russian officials, some of them within the Kremlin, discussing contacts with Trump associates.

Apparently the Obama administration also made sure to spread the information throughout the intelligence agencies and to politicians on both sides of the aisle "to ensure that as many people as possible inside government could see it, even if people without security clearances could not."

The concern of course was that members of the Trump Administration would be compromised by the Russians and that the investigation would be swept under the rug.

And it appears that they had reason for concern.

Courtesy of the Washington Post: 

Then-Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) spoke twice last year with Russia’s ambassador to the United States, Justice Department officials said, encounters he did not disclose when asked about possible contacts between members of President Trump’s campaign and representatives of Moscow during Sessions’s confirmation hearing to become attorney general. 

One of the meetings was a private conversation between Sessions and Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak that took place in September in the senator’s office, at the height of what U.S. intelligence officials say was a Russian cyber campaign to upend the U.S. presidential race.

At this point you might be saying to yourself, "Well this sounds bad, but how bad is it?"

It's this bad.
Now of course today Jeff Sessions is denying ever talking to anybody in Russia, knowing how to find Russia on a map, or ever having put Russian dressing on a salad, but he is now with the Trump Administration so what did you expect?

However despite denials, the noose is clearly getting tighter.

Courtesy of the AP: 

White House staffers have been told to preserve any materials related to Russian intervention in the 2016 presidential election, according to The Associated Press. 

The White House counsel’s office handed down the order on Tuesday in a memo to aides, the news wire reported. 

The move comes after Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee asked the White House and law enforcement agencies to keep materials related to Trump associates’ alleged ties to Russia. 

Separately, the Senate Intelligence Committee last month asked federal agencies to keep materials that tie into its investigation into Russian cyber hacking and other efforts to disrupt the election.

Paul Manafort, Carter Page, Mike Flynn, Roger Stone, Rex Tillerson, Jeff Sessions, is there anybody associated with the Trump Administration or campaign NOT compromised by the Russians?

And should we trust ANYBODY that Trump appoints to any cabinet position or opening in the  Supreme Court?

Oh I think you know my answer.

    "The press is doing an admirable job. But there is only so much it can do without such things as subpoena powers. Let's just make this clear. This is about a foreign and hostile power trying to influence our election while being in contact with close aides to the presidential campaign that the Kremlin wanted to win. Furthermore, there are serious questions about Mr Trump's longstanding ties to Russian money and influence peddlers. We don't know where this might go, but it isn't going away."

    The Obama White House Quietly Left Trail Of Russia Intel So Trump Couldn’t Destroy It

    ...At the Obama White House, Mr. Trump’s statements stoked fears among some that intelligence could be covered up or destroyed — or its sources exposed — once power changed hands. What followed was a push to preserve the intelligence that underscored the deep anxiety with which the White House and American intelligence agencies had come to view the threat from Moscow.

    It also reflected the suspicion among many in the Obama White House that the Trump campaign might have colluded with Russia on election email hacks — a suspicion that American officials say has not been confirmed. Former senior Obama administration officials said that none of the efforts were directed by Mr. Obama.

    As Inauguration Day approached, Obama White House officials grew convinced that the intelligence was damning and that they needed to ensure that as many people as possible inside government could see it, even if people without security clearances could not. Some officials began asking specific questions at intelligence briefings, knowing the answers would be archived and could be easily unearthed by investigators — including the Senate Intelligence Committee, which in early January announced an inquiry into Russian efforts to influence the election.

    Jeff Sessions Just Issued A Statement That Made The Russia Scandal Worse For Trump

    The problem with Sessions denial is that it contradicts itself. Attorney General Sessions doesn’t deny meeting with Russia, but he also claims that they didn’t talk about the campaign.

    By admitting that he met with Russian officials, Sessions has opened the door for more questions about who he met with, when did he meet with them, and what did they talk about?

    The Sessions denial wasn’t a flat and firm denial, and that makes life even more difficult for Donald Trump.

    Trump Blames Democrats For All Of Jeff Sessions’ Russia Lies

    The Trump White House is blaming Democrats for the fact that Jeff Sessions lied about having contact with Russia during the presidential campaign.

    ...The obvious problem with the Trump White House’s attempt to blame Democrats is that the stories that were published in The New York Times, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal were all well researched and predated Trump’s speech to Congress. The second allegation that the Trump White House made was the standard claim that the story is fake news. The bellowing of fake news is the go-to response from the White House towards any story that is negative about them.

    The White House’s claim that Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) is pushing the story was bizarre because Franken never asked Sessions if he had any contact with Russia. Franken’s question to Sessions during the confirmation hearing was what would Sessions do if evidence of contact was brought to him. It was Jeff Sessions who volunteered that he had no contact with Russia.

    The Noose Tightens As Nancy Pelosi Connects The Dots On Why Sessions Lies Are Trouble For Trump

    Democratic House Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) connected the dots during her weekly news conference and explained why Attorney General Sessions' lies before Congress are a big problem for Trump.

    ...Pelosi said, “The reason we have been saying that Attorney General Sessions should step aside, and maybe should have never been confirmed is because he was a surrogate. He was a very important part. He was one of the first people in Congress to endorse President Trump, and now we see, although he has not told the truth about it, he had conversations with the Russian officials, which why didn’t he if they were innocuous admit it instead of lying about it? So this couldn’t be more stark in term of relationship to the campaign and who the Attorney General was speaking to.”

    As Pelosi laid out, Jeff Sessions wasn’t just a supporter of the Trump campaign. He was a trusted surrogate who was on the inside. The scandal is getting closer to Donald Trump’s doorstep. Trump was criticized in many circles for nominating a person for attorney general who would not be independent.

      Meanwhile all of those overseers Trump is deploying to all of the departments looking for regulations to dismantle can also be looking for all that Obama evidence of Russian interference and get rid of that too.

    I was just doing several Google searches, looking for the comments that President Obama made recently about 'things working out', which now seem to be a hint about the latest revelations regarding Trump/Russia connections. I couldn't find what I was looking for, but I did find links to many articles about Obama's efforts to spread the intelligence about Russian connections to many different places.

    It was interesting, though certainly not surprising, to see the difference in perspective depending on the source of the article.

    The respectable national and international news sources headlined their articles with variations of Obama 'racing to preserve the intelligence information'. Other sources, like Infowars, Daily Caller, and (naturally) Breitbart all claimed that Obama was "sabotaging" the Trump administration.
