GUILTY AS SIN!
And all of the under-the-table dealings that had gone on needed to remain covered up and invisible. Let’s go to the audio sound bites from April of last year. This is Fox News Sunday. Chris Wallace is interviewing Obama. Question: “Some people are worried that the decision how to handle the case…” This is the Clinton email story. “Some people are worried that the decision how to handle the case will be made on political grounds, not legal grounds. Can you guarantee to the American people, Mr. Obama…? Can you direct the Justice Department to say Hillary Clinton will be treated as the evidence goes. She will not be in any way protected?”
OBAMA: I can guarantee that. And I can guarantee that not because I give, uh, Attorney General Lynch a directive. That is institutionally how we have always operated. I do not talk to the attorney general about pending investigations. I do not talk to FBI directors about pending investigations. We have a strict line, uh, and always have maintained it through this, previous presidents.
WALLACE: So just to button this up —
OBAMA: I guarantee it.
WALLACE: You?
OBAMA: I guarantee you that there is no political influence in any investigation conducted by the Justice Department or the FBI, not just in this case, but in any case.
WALLACE: And she will be —
OBAMA: Full stop! Period!
WALLACE: And she will be treated no differently?
OBAMA: Guaranteed. Full stop. Nobody gets treated differently when it comes to the Justice Department because nobody is above the law.
WALLACE: Even if she ends up as the Democratic nom —
OBAMA: How many times do I have to say it, Chris? Guaranteed.
RUSH: Right. How many times did he say it? All right. Now let’s go to the next bite. Same show, April 10, 2016, Wallace says, “Last October, you said that Hillary Clinton’s private email server did not jeopardize national secrets. Since then we’ve learned that over 2,000 of her emails contain classified material. Twenty-two of the emails contained top secret information. Can you still say flatly that she did not jeopardize America’s secrets?”
OBAMA: Here’s what I know: Hillary Clinton was an outstanding secretary of state.
RUSH: Big whoop.
OBAMA: She would never intentionally put America in any kind of jeopardy.
RUSH: Big whoop.
OBAMA: And what I also know because I handle a lot of classified information, uh, is that there’s classified and then there’s classified. There’s stuff that is really top secret top secret —
RUSH: Yeah.
OBAMA: — and there’s stuff that is being presented to the president or the secretary of state that you might not want on the transom, uh, or, you know, going out over the wire but is basically stuff that you could get in open source.
RUSH: Okay. So let’s put this all together. Strzok texts, her to him, “We gotta get Comey fully up to speed because POTUS wants to know everything.” Meanwhile, Obama said, “Nah! There’s never, never any crossover. I never tell the DOJ what to do. I don’t care! I never interfere. There’s a line that we don’t cross. Guaranteed we don’t cross it. We never do cross it. I never tell Lynch; I never do anything.” But yet Lisa Page tells Strzok, “We gotta be thorough. POTUS wants to know everything.”
Why does he want to know everything? Then in that second bite, he declares Hillary Clinton innocent. And what he says is pretty much everything Comey said in that famous July 5th press conference where he exonerated her. (impression) “Here’s what I know. Hillary Clinton was a outstanding secretary of state, and she would never intentionally put America in any kind of jeopardy.” Exactly what Comey said. “We couldn’t find intent. She didn’t mean to do it! We couldn’t find any intent.”
And then start talking about the various degrees of classified documents. So Obama exonerates her. She didn’t do it. Well, when the president of the United States says she didn’t do it, that she is innocent, he has just told the Justice Department how to handle it, after swearing that he never would do anything like that. Here’s one final… No. Gotta take a break. There’s one more Obama bite on this. But the point here is that this is about protecting Obama. All of this is. It was Obama that was policing, directing, informing, permitting the spying and whatever else happened to Donald Trump and his campaign.
