But Republicans didn’t want to stop it, and Obama was worried if he did anything without Republican support it would look like he was tilting the scales in favor of Clinton. Which makes zero sense to me but hey that’s just what Obama thought.

Future humanity, if you even exist, please have mercy on us when you look back at this age. 😮💨
