Obama talked to Putin too. But Trump isn’t allowed the same privileges as Obama as POTUS.
Hey look, another false equivalency.
Obama had Putin and Russian media in the Oval Office? I think I would have heard about that had it happened.

Here's a thought experiment for you:
Imagine that a dossier claiming that Obama was in having secret meetings with Iran, and it was written by a foreign agent who hated Obama. Oh, and this was paid for by the RNC and McCain as political research. Now, imagine that Dubya's FBI had used this questionable document to get wiretaps on Obama and some of his staff, while withholding the above information from the FISA court. Obama still wins, but now the Republicans are actively investigating these accusations, and talk radio and FOX spend all day talking about how Obama was Iran's puppet this entire time.
Imagine how you'd react to if this was revealed to you.
In this thought experiment, did multiple members of Obama's campaign and administration lie under oath about the frequency and nature of their contacts with Iran? Was Iran actively involved in trying to influence the US elections in favor of Obama?
What is gained by trying to compare a very real situation with a purely imaginary one? Who is the ‘foreign agent who hated Obama’ in the Trump situation? Mark Steele isn’t some moron with a grudge, he was for many years one of the UK’s top spies and an acknowledged Russia expert across Europe. He was working undercover at the time of the final collapse of the USSR and is up to his eyeballs in intelligence contacts. Anything he put together is far more reliable than anything Trump, a proven, lifelong, continuous pathological liar - has to say about this. In what way I sn’t that obvious? What is it that prevents people from checking all of the false statements that Trump continually makes? I find it beyond comprehension that anyone would be taken in by this guy.

The details don’t need to be precisely identical. So, are you now claiming Trump lifted sanctions on Russia?
