Obama fingerprints all over investigations of Don and Hil

In the run-up to the 2016 Democratic Party convention, FBI Director James Comey gained access to at least eight thumb drives containing large volumes of former Secretary Hillary Clinton's sensitive State Department emails " as well as some from President Obama " that appeared to have been compromised by foreign hackers. Instead of investigating the explosive new batch of evidence revealed in recently declassified documents, Comey rushed ahead to close an investigation into whether Clinton improperly transmitted and received classified material from a private, unsecured server she kept in her basement. Comey also took the extraordinary step of bypassing the attorney general and personally exonerating Clinton of wrongdoing during an unusual press conference on July 5, 2016. Just hours later, Obama invited Clinton " who would be formally nominated as the Democrats' standard bearer three weeks later " aboard Air Force One to help launch her multicity campaign tour

Following the January 6 United States Capitol attack, Paul Sperry was among the first to spread the conspiracy theory that antifa were inciting the violence, writing on Twitter in a widely retweeted post that a "former FBI agent" had informed him that "at least 1 bus load' of antifa thugs infiltrated peaceful Trump demonstrators.

LOL

Instead of getting distracted by investigating the explosive new batch of evidence, he kept working on the task at hand.

"As a reporter, Sperry wrote numerous articles against Democratic politicians such as Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Eric Holder, and Adam Schiff. He described Obama as the "defender-in-chief of Islam", and warned of an "Islamic fifth column" growing inside the United States.

He has said that Obama was "'flooding' the United States with a 'huge surge' of Muslim immigrants."[1] Sperry has also noted that "unbeknown to most Americans", Obama in order to try to mandate racial equality, was creating a "diversity police state" while "furiously mining data on their health, home loans, credit cards, places of work, neighborhoods, even how their kids are disciplined in school"all to document 'inequalities' between minorities and whites."[13]"

"No one has to give a crap about stuff like this until after the full Epstein Files are released."

To be clear, Trump is clearly weaponizing the DOJ. Bell is silent.

Trump and his family are making hundreds of millions off the office of the Presidency. Bell is silent.

ICE announces it doesn't need to follow the Constitution. Bell is silent.

Trump is currently denying Due Process to "persons" in the USA. Bell is silent.

Republicans pass a tax code which borrows new trillions. Bell clutches pearls about debt, but never, EVER connects the two.

And now, a thread. Not about weaponizing the DOJ, or Trump and his family profiting off the Presidency. Not about ICE infractions or dead protestors. Not about denial of Constitutional rights.

A thread about baloney, which never addresses the central historical question: When Comey announced the FBI was re-opening its investigation of HRC, why did he make no mention of the ongoing investigation of DJT?

I formerly tended to the belief Trump wasn't actually involved in Epstein's pedo network.
Then came the ongoing, transparent Trump Epstein Coverup.
Now I think Trump may well be in those files in ways that will shock even many MAGAts.
Before those files are "cleansed" through consignment to the memory hole.
But, seriously MAGAts (e.g. Jeffy), why the clumsily obvious coverup?
Unless pedophilia should be added to the long list of Trump's felonies?

Funny what Jeffy never posts about is how ------- is using the DOJ to prosecute his enemies.

Why just yesterday he instructed Pamnesia to prosecute Jack Smith on Troof Social.

Now I think Trump may well be in those files in ways that will shock even many MAGAts.

Given Epstein's ties to Russia it is guaranteed that Putin has copies of the videos that Pamnesia is hiding that are very very bad.

Trump and his family are making hundreds of millions off the office of the Presidency.

$1.4 BILLION in one year.

Now he is stealing the money from the Venezuela oil. Will be hiding the money from the Bored of Peace. Etc.

Since the Obama years I've been warning anyone and everyone that weaponizing the DOJ is going to come full circle and it has. Absolutely Trump is weaponizing it and it sucks big time. Democrats let that genie out of the bottle and it's not going bsck in until we elect a principled president who is willing to do what's right for the benefit of the country. Maybe Josh Shapiro is the one to fix this.

"Previous Findings: Prior investigations by a Trump-appointed special counsel (John Durham) and a bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee did not result in criminal charges against high-level Obama officials for these matters.

A 2019 Inspector General report found "misfeasance" and abuses of the FISA process by some FBI officials but did not find evidence of political bias in the decision to open the Russia investigation.

Counter-Arguments: Former President Obama and his representatives have dismissed these claims as "bizarre" and "outrageous," arguing they are political distractions aimed at justifying the current administration's own use of the DOJ against its perceived enemies.

Broader Context: Critics of the current administration characterize the new probes as the actual "weaponization" of the justice system, noting that the investigations into Obama-era officials are occurring alongside criminal cases brought by the Trump administration against other political rivals like Adam Schiff and John Bolton"

Nakoula Basseley was arrested for probation violations following a 2010 bank fraud conviction.

"Legal Context: Legal experts noted that while the investigation was likely intensified due to the film's impact, the specific legal grounds for his arrest were strictly related to his failure to comply with the terms of his existing probation."

1Nut is just repeating ancient rwing political charges made against Obama.

Next he'll be talking up the Great Tan Suit crime.

And to date, you still haven't produced a single instance of LAWFARE, where you or I could've done the same thing without any fear of legal repercussions.

You know...the definition of LAWFARE.

You're still batting ZERO.

Meanwhile, Team Trump keeps indicting folks like Comey and James. Next, if you are to believe them, will be Renee Good's widow.

Why are you leaving out the important part? The FBI was eavesdropping on the Russian...when Jeff Sessions walked in. You're bitching the FBI didn't shut off the recorders at that moment.

Next, the FBI was faced with a serious question: If they were seeing contact after contact after contact between Team Trump and the Russians, why was Team Trump lying about it, loudly claiming NO contacts?

It's the type of incongruity that would make your head explode if the FBI didn't investigate. Unless of course, if there's a good (R)eason.
