What Does Obama Know About The Clinton E-mail and Foundation Scandals, And When Did He Learn It?

by MYRA ADAMS October 2, 2015

‘What did the president know and when did he know it?” That now-iconic question was asked by Senator Howard Baker, vice chairman of the Senate Watergate Committee, to President Nixon’s White House counsel John Dean on June 29, 1973.

Forty-two years later it is doubtful that President Obama will ever truthfully answer that question as it relates to the mounting number of alleged improprieties lodged against the Clinton Foundation and its connection to Hillary Clinton’s use of a private e-mail server while she served as his first-term secretary of state.

Mrs. Clinton addressed the ongoing e-mail controversy last Sunday on Meet the Press. “It’s like a drip, drip, drip,” she said, and “I want these questions answered.” Perhaps President Obama could offer her some assistance. First, there is hard evidence that as early as 2009 the Obama administration knew about Mrs. Clinton’s use of a private e-mail server. Obama did not pull the plug. Surely, the president’s intelligence advisors warned him that an unsecured home-based server posed a national-security risk.

Now we read that Hillary even joked about the prospect of the Chinese hacking her e-mail. Second, why hasn’t Obama’s IRS audited the $2 billion Clinton Foundation? What is it about this foundation that causes the IRS, ordinarily proactive, to ignore evidence of violations against the strict rules and regulations under which any tax-exempt organization must abide. If it doesn’t, it loses its tax-exempt status. Every year foundations and charities, large and small, are routinely audited, but not the Clinton Foundation.

I’ll answer that for him since he won’t. The answer is: everything and from the onset. There. Not hard when you deal in the truth.

One big difference between the Hillary Clinton scandal and Watergate is that the major media are actively protecting Clinton. During Watergate they went after Nixon hammer and tong, 24/7.

As appealing as I find the notion of abolishing the IRS, we *do* need some way to pool resources in the interest of defense and public works. Hearty reform to the extent the IRS is unrecognizable from its present form, perhaps.

Get rid of shiftless fools handling the public treasury. Prosecute those who abuse the public trust to the fullest extent of the law. Right now however, we have a Congress and a Department of Justice who are on the take from those who would wield privilege and power over hard-working, honest citizens.

He could be guilty of the Misprision of Felony statute.
18 U.S. Code § 4 - Misprision of felony.

Big deal, right? Add it to the list for his trial once President Trump makes Sarah Palin our next U.S. Attorney General.

Now that's a show I'd make some popcorn to watch...
