How Obama's legacy could be tarnished by Hillary's scandals

Last Oct. 15, I raised this "iconic" Watergate-themed question in a piece heheadlined: "What Does Obama Know about the Clinton E-mail and Foundation Scandals, and When Did He Know It?"

Subsequently, over the last year, as more Clinton corruption and scandals have come to light, Obama remains largely untouched, floating above the fray.

How is it that Obama has not been connected to or tarnished by Clinton's various scandals?

Why doesn't Obama bear any blame for his Justice Department's controversial decision not to indict his former Secretary of State?

Was Obama blind to the millions of foreign government donations pouring into the Clinton Foundation that violated the ethics agreement Clinton signed upon agreeing to serve as his secretary of state?

Why isn't Obama a central figure in all the email and foundation scandals when President Obama was Clinton's direct supervisor in the most important cabinet seat?

Was Obama a Clinton enabler?

Since Obama enthusiastically endorsed Clinton, expects her to continue his "legacy," and now begins battleground state campaigning to prop up her sagging campaign, why is Obama immune from the stink of her scandal?

In normal political scandal contagion, Obama would be infected because the big boss usually takes the fall, accepts responsibility for the actions of his underlings and/or is personally blamed for not minding the store.

Instead, Obama resembles a new industrial grade Teflon enjoying a historically impressive late-term job approval rating of 50.9 percent. Meanwhile, both Clinton and Trump's unfavorable ratings have landed in the dumpster, tied at around 60 percent.

Now, eight weeks before Election Day, is Obama going to get a complete pass from the media and voters while he acts as Clinton's most influential campaign surrogate largely at taxpayer expense?

It sure looks that way, even as it becomes clear that his Justice Department had grounds to prosecute Hillary for destroying government records and jeopardizing national security. Moreover, Obama's Treasury Department deliberately chose not to unleash the IRS on the Clinton Foundation even though other charities, both large and small have been audited, fined, or forced to close for far less wrongdoing.

However, there is still a small chance that Clinton's scandals will significantly tarnish Obama's legacy. This chance stems from the consequences of a great unresolved mystery that I raised in my October 2015 piece:

"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 advisers warned him that an unsecured home-based server posed a national-security risk."

Good grief.

Legacy ???

[Secret Agent Man]

The hypocrisy and emperor worshp is so thick they can’t even see it anymore.

[Secret Agent Man]

Continuing destruction of America.

Here is a related question that I always found troubling:

Since President Obama NEVER received an email from a Clinton "state.gov" address during the four years that Hillary Clinton served as his Secretary of State, did Obama ever raise concerns with his White House staff about Clinton's use of a private email server?

Now, layer that question upon a State Department briefing that took place on January 29, 2016. Spokesman John Kirby announced that the State Department would not release 18 emails found on Secretary Clinton's private server that were exchanged between President Obama and Clinton while she was Secretary of State.

Kirby added that "in accordance with the Presidential Records Act they will ultimately be released." Apparently, none of the emails were classified, if Kirby is to be believed.

But, according to the transcript, several reporters were incredulous upon hearing that only 18 emails were found. Here is a sample from the transcript:

QUESTION: Does that mean that they only emailed each other 18 times for the four years that she was his Secretary of State?

MR KIRBY: I can't speak to —

QUESTION: That's 48 months. I mean, is that – have you gone through all of them and she only communicated with the President 18 times by email?

MR KIRBY: Of the 55,000 pages of traffic that were handed over by former Secretary Clinton to us to go through for release through FOIA, we have found these 18.

QUESTION: And no —

MR KIRBY: And I do not expect that there will be more.

QUESTION: Well, that's – does that strike you as being a bit unusual? I mean, my boss – I have 18 emails an hour with her sometimes.

MR KIRBY: Well, but —

Warning: Now is when I look through a lens of pure speculation based on an impending news event.

Any day now Wikileaks is expected to release "significant" emails" from Mrs. Clinton's tenure as Secretary of State, the Clinton Foundation, and the Clinton campaign. More interesting, are reports that Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has possession of Clinton's 30,000 deleted emails.

If true, is it reasonable to surmise that more emails exchanged between Clinton and President Obama are likely to surface? Perhaps even some with classified material?

That will be a "game-changing" moment. Not only will Obama be implicated directly into the web of Clinton's scandals but the President himself could be accused of national security violations. Then, all bets are off about what could be revealed, unraveled, or if there are any hints of secret deals between the Clintons and Obama.

Surely then, Obama's presidential legacy would be permanently tarnished, and his endorsement of Clinton considered suspect.

Meanwhile, Obama chugs along untouched, flying high with a 50 percent job approval — at least for now.

[BigpapaBo]

Tarnish hell.
His legacy is like a polished turd. It stinks and cannot be picked up without getting crap on oneself

[Kaslin]

He's got a legacy alright.

His legacy will be that he is the worst president of all times in the American History

[unixfox]

DemocRATS, always blaming their failures on someone else.

[UCANSEE2]

Here is the secret to all of this.

How many of Hillary’s EMAILS have had the sender or recipient listed as BARACK OBAMA ?

[UCANSEE2]

I see you answered my question.

[Kaslin]

That is part of the article which I didn’t see and I hit the post button to fast

[RetiredTexasVet]

I doubt Benghazi Clinton could possibly tarnish the reputation of the most corrupt administration since Grant or FDR! His Arrogance’s entire cabinet and all agency head could be indicted under RICO laws if we had an AG who wasn’t subject to indictment!!!!!!

[combat_boots]

Keeping Benghazi emails on some secret Google server to avoid the TRUTH.

May they die SLOW, PAINFUL, DISEASED, and PENNILESS.

[Man from Oz]

I mowed the grass this afternoon where our dog Stella frequents. I unknowingly stepped on Stella’s poop (unfortunately, I might add). My sandal has more legacy than Obammer..

[UCANSEE2]

Well... I am glad you added it.

[generally]

I thought 0vomit was laying low because he was just lazy or busy golfing. But perhaps he is aware that there are bombshells about to be dropped in the form of Wikileaks email releases and he is trying to hide out from it.

The Clintons' crime wagon is about to be tipped over onto the Obama legacy.

ACADEMY-AWARD WORTHY---Obama puts on a convincing act.
He "knows nothing." Obama didn't even know about this (snix).

PIC Circa 2010--Ex-Pres Clinton in Moscow having a laugh w/ Putin
as strategic US uranium deposits were sold off to Russia for Big Bucks
facilitated by Secy Clinton, as Bill globe-trotted to set up the deal.

"Hahahaha. US ntl security? Hahahaha. You gotta be kidding, Vlad."

====================================================

With all the top-level intel available to him, can Americans actually believe:

<><>Obama was oblivious to the Clintons jerking around US foreign policy?

<><> Obama knew nothing of Hillary and Sid Blumenthal's emails WRT Iran (the man Obama banned from US govt employment)?

<><> Obama knew nothing about the Clinton Foundation/slush fund buck-raking activities?

<><> Obama never noticed Bill Clinton trotting around the globe?

<><> Obama never noticed the Clinton "charity" used to worm his way into the confidences of foreign leaders.... but only those leaders w/ untapped reserves of gold, uranium, oil, and other valuable commodities?

<><> Obama never knew Hillary's brother got a gold-mining permit in Haiti?

Hand-picked by Obama to run State, Hillary ran it like a shadow govt.... w/ her husband taking notes WRT buck-raking opportunities available from Hillary's actions OR inaction.

Secy Hillary never e-v-e-r uttered a discouraging word e-v-e-r......as the Clinton Foundation sucked up hundred of millions of foreign dollars from shady characters.

OF COURSE, the Clintons/ activities NEVER interfered w/ Obama/s own foreign policy initiatives. (waiting for hysterical laughter to die down).

PULITZER PRIZE ANYONE? an ace reporter might compare Hillary's State Dept activities, donations to the Clinton Foundation, and Obama's foreign policy moves.

[Liz]

NOTE: The post-presidency Obamas have BIG plans.....get-rich-quick schemes ala the Clintons. Gonna cash in bigtime---through two Obama foundations (two that we know of).

Obama figures he needs two foundations to handle all the post-presidency tax-free money about to roll in.....six-figure honoraria, multi-million dollar donations, lucrative consultancies, and, untold riches from insider Mideast business deals.

=====================================================

FOUNDATION ONE---OBAMAS SISTER IS A BOARD MEMBER
OF OBAMAs BILLION DOLLAR CHICAGO LIBRARY SCHEME

Maya Soetoro-Ng is his sister and a specialist for the Matsunaga Institute for Peace. She is the cofounder of Our Public School, a non-profit that connects schools to their communities, and the co-creator of a peace education program implemented in schools and communities around Hawaii.

==================================================

FOUNDATION TWO---HIS KENYAN HALF-BROTHER HEADS THE MUSLIM FOUNDATION--named for their Muslim father. Obama Foundation Two was fast-tracked for tax exemption by Lois Lerner.

Kenya-resident, Malik Obama in Muslim dress, holds up
photo of his half brother Obama in Muslim dress (left),
taken during Obama's earlier visit.

Americans must demand to see fund solicitation letters coming out of Obama's tax-exempt presidential foundations and his Chicago library fund.

Are any of his WH comments used to forward his policy being regurgitated in fund solicitation latters?

Americans demand to know if US govt policy is being wrongly used....in an effort to raise tax-free money for the obamas.

======================================================

US TAXPAYERS PAY NOW---Obama collects later.

Obama's federal outlays (that we know of).:

<><> $150 billion to Muslim Iran in the nuclear deal,

<><> $2 billion funding to Malik's organization---the Muslim Brotherhood,

<><> $50 million to Malik/Barack's tax-exempt foundation in the form of a grant to Kenya.

<><> While the Muslim Brotherhood was in charge in Egypt, Obama (and Hillary) showered them w/ praise.....and billions of US dollars in aid, arms, tanks and planes.

<><> Obama gave $90 million US tax dollars to wealthy oil-rich Muslim African Muslim countries.

<><> the billions missing from the Obamacare scam.

[Liz]

Obama sent Michele to oil-rich Muslim Quatar w/ $73 million US tax dollars to "teach Muslim girls." Obama recently gave Michelle 100 million tax dollars to give to Morocco to "teach Muslim girls".

The money came from a State Dept agency under Hillary's control---the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC)

FREEPER ACTION PROJECT--DO THIS NOW: demand the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) books be opened. We demand to know the financial details and the scope and dimension of individuals connected to these outrageous State Dept giveaways.........govt parasites profiting at taxayers' expense.
