Meddling in Elections

For John, BLUF:  Why would President Obama be any different from all the other Presidents, starting with at least Harry S Truman?  Nothing to see here; just move along.

GOP Senators Ask State Dept. to Investigate Obama Admin's Meddling in Foreign Elections

This is via Pajama Media (you didn't expect The Wash Post or The Old Gray Lady to be pushing this, did you?).  The Reporter is Ms Debra Heine and the dateline is 15 March 2017.

Here is the lede:

A group of Republican senators sent a letter to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson Tuesday asking him to launch a full-scale investigation into the Obama administration's efforts to meddle in elections around the globe, the Washington Free Beacon reported.  The former president has been using taxpayer money to sway foreign elections for years, the senators alleged.

So, is the US meddling in the elections of others a good thing?

Should others have the right to do what they can to influence US elections?

Exit question:  Will the senators get an answer?
