boy, there's a lot of issues with that article.

The Logan Act (1 Stat. 613, 18 U.S.C. § 953, enacted January 30, 1799) is a United States federal law that details the fine and/or imprisonment of unauthorized citizens who negotiate with foreign governments having a dispute with the United States

giving advice on how to deal with trump is no negotiation. without knowing anything about what specifically they talked about, saying obama was undermining trump is -tenuously- reasonable but the last part about a dispute is key. south korea is one of if not THE closest ally to the US. really grasping at straws here trying to make obama look like a criminal.

“Guess what’s about to happen: The Congress is about to have to call Barack Obama in to testify under oath about when he knew about Russia meddling,” Gingrich said

5 months later, still hasn't happened. i don't doubt that there was impropriety but there was plenty on both sides in that mockery of democracy we had a year ago. i'm not saying those responsible shouldn't be punished, only that they won't be.

Obama Caught ‘Acting As President’ In Indonesia, Trump Gives Him Brutal Surprise

the title of an article about obama in korea. okay. and nothing about any surprise from trump, only some campaigning from gingrich for congress to call in obama.

i'm not saying its appropriate for obama to be meeting with world leaders soon after trump but that hardly constitutes impeding trump but just because bush fell off the face of the planet for like 5 years doesn't mean that's what every president must do. i guess by that logic, jimmy carter is the shadow emperor or something with everything he's done since his presidency. i hope you find some better sources because i would really like to know if there is legitimate reason to dislike obama but if there's nothing more than blog quality stuff like this, don't bother.

This is blog quality to you? Can you point me to what news sources you have that are reliable and better written? There is no news source that can get the behind closed door dealings. I could find other incidents the are tenuous by themselves bit many of them seem to point to him undermineing Trump. Are we just going to pretend Obama didn't criticize and nay say Trump the entire election and now he is doing these things to help Trumps presidency? Whatever.

i'd love to see how many more events like this have occurred but just because trump is president doesn't mean obama has to be locked away in a cupboard. i could probably count the number of times i've seen an obama article on my hands and only like 2 or 3 have been about current politics and i consume a lot of news. its not like i follow him closely, i'm sure there is plenty i don't know and wouldn't like.

but, i don't know, if that site didn't scream tabloid clickbait to you, i don't know...
