New York Times reporter Mark Landler told MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell Friday that President Barack Obama has a history of disrupting ongoing intelligence and security investigations by giving anticipatory remarks.
“It’s actually not the first time this has happened,” Landler said. “There’s real frustration at the FBI that the president not only got out ahead of the investigation, but maybe foreclosed a certain legal course that might have happened otherwise.”
In an appearance on 60 Minutes last week, Obama told host Steve Kroft that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private email server did not jeopardize national security.
“This is not a situation in which America’s national security was endangered,” he said.
However, Obama’s answer predated an ongoing inquiry by the FBI that aims to determine whether Clinton’s private server undermined national security.
“Was the president—who is a lawyer, a constitutional lawyer—getting way out ahead of himself, or was he trying to signal a political bent there?” Mitchell asked Landler.
Landler said that Obama’s declaration threw off the investigation into Clinton’s server, angering FBI officers in the process.

Obama must be called out and stopped whenever possible...
Just another attempt to anger the people so he can declare Martial Law.
I'm offended every time someone refers to that socialist megalomaniac as a "constitutional" lawyer. I don't care what he "studied", he sure didn't learn much. Either that or he has serious contempt for this country and the principles it was founded on.
Since he had his college records sealed by court order, we'll never know what he studied...or his grades.
