      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 …

      "But he's a private citizen!" Unlike most private citizens, ex-presidents retain the imprimatur of the US Government for their entire lives.

      And Obama certainly was not a private citizen when he attempted to "influence" UK citizens to vote "Remain."https://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/23/world/europe/obama-britain-visit.html …

      Voicing your support for Macron is very different than illegally hacking/leaking emails. Perhaps there is more compelling analogy.

      If Putin cut an ad explicitly announcing his support for Trump, you wouldn't have decried that as "interference"? Sure.

          The difference is between legally/openly supporting a candidate & illegally/covertly hacking, stealing, weaponizing, & leaking private docs.

          In the context of Putin still being leader of Russia, yes, that would be bad. Obama, a now private citizen, is free to support who he likes

          If Putin had done that, maybe he'd have been accused of "interfering" on behalf of Hillary.
