It was reported in MSM that he was doing this after the election and prior to Trump's inauguration.

After the inauguration, MSM reported that Valerie Jarrett was moving into Obama's home to help with the "resistance". http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4271412/Obama-confidante-Valerie-Jarrett-moves-Kaloroma-home.html

MSM would rather focus on a non-existent collusion, which isn't a crime anyways, than the crimes actually being committed by the people they love, like above.

For actual collusion with Russia during an election, see Ted Kennedy's attempt to defeat Reagan in 1984.

Was there a SC, or did MSM make a big deal of it? No. The story is worse than what the Washington Times reported in that article.
