Obama claims his presidency was free from scandal — but he’s full of it

Democrats like Barack Obama think government abuse toward President Trump cannot be abusive just because Trump is a frequent miscreant.

Q: What did Barack Obama know about the dodgy investigation of Michael Flynn, and when did he know it?

A: More than his attorney general, and before she did.

That is a detail worth keeping in mind.

Democrats take it as a matter of moral certainty that Donald Trump and his political allies can only do wrong and cannot be wronged. Trump and his colleagues insist that they have been wronged in a very serious way: by the Obama administration’s abusing federal counterintelligence tools as an extension (and a post-election extension) of the 2016 presidential campaign. That is a perversion of political power that should command the attention of all Americans irrespective of their assessment of President Trump.

The original decision to target Flynn in the counterintelligence probe was based on a pretty flimsy pretext. And it was driven by the White House, not by the top bosses at DOJ. When acting Attorney General Sally Yates heard about the investigation — from President Obama himself, not from her own department — she “had no idea what the president was talking about,” as she told investigators. The New York Times, not exactly the house organ of the Trump administration, reports that at every turn Obama aides were involved in the investigation even as the acting AG was in the dark.

It is just stunning that he and the Democrats acted so disgracefully for so long. At this point, the house of cards seems to be falling. November 2020 will be very interesting if the republicans manage to win the house, maintain the senate, and re elect Trump. I think if that happens the deep state and the swamp will have their hands full.

Obama never offered the proof he had an American birth certificate, he did his 2 lousy terms coming through as a racist by the 2nd term. The only president ever to run down constantly our 1st responders the police of this country. He should loose his right to be protected by the secret service or any form of law enforcement for the remainder of his life. No one cares about him or wants to hear his constant babble. And all of the Obama Care was just a scam, everything he thinks he accomplished he didn’t I voted for him and truly regret it. He needs to shut up just like Pelosi self centered ego maniacs.
