      1. Obama is a private citizen. 2. There is a large distinction between covert (and criminal) interference and openly expressing a view.https://twitter.com/mtracey/status/860266609268539392 …

      Obama cutting ads for Macron is really bizarre -- how is this anything but "interference" in a foreign election? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/may/04/barack-obama-backs-macron-in-last-minute-election-intervention …

      He's a private citizen who, as an ex-president, retains the imprimatur of the United States government.

      And the point is that a whole range of activities -- covert and/or open -- could reasonably fall under the category of "interference."

      What "category of 'interference'"? A colloquial definition? Or something that is meaningful under domestic or international law?

      "Russian interference" is a colloquial term that all manner of politicians and media figures now use to encompass a wide variety of acts.

      Ok, then what's the point? By some loose definition, essentially all forms of foreign relations and diplomacy could be "interference."

      You seem to be drawing a parallel between Obama's actions and Putin's. But the activity is unlike in all meaningful respects.

      The activity is like in the key respect that it could be construed as "interference" given the malleability of the concept.

          An orange and a baseball are both round. I guess I'm just missing the point of the observation here.

          The point is that the prevailing popular conception of "foreign interference" is so broad that it could also encompass common US actions.
