The ‘Big If’: What crimes could Obama potentially be charged with?
American Thinker ^ | March 5, 2017 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 03/05/2017 7:10:09 AM PST by detective

Yes, it is way too soon to start counting-up indictments that former President Obama could face. We know absolutely nothing about the evidence President Trump relied upon in his Twitter accusations, nor do we know of enough specifics.

Still, we get to have fun once in a while, don’t we?

"Here are the problematic aspects of the Obama surveillance on Trump’s team, and on Trump himself. First, it is not apparent FISA could ever be invoked. Second, it is possible Obama’s team may have perjured themselves before the FISA court by withholding material information essential to the FISA court’s willingness to permit the government surveillance. Third, it could be that Obama’s team illegally disseminated and disclosed FISA information in direct violation of the statute precisely prohibiting such dissemination and disclosure. FISA prohibits, under criminal penalty, Obama’s team from doing any of the three."

I say charge him with being a douche bag Kenyan Communist sissy-pants; but I’m not sure that’s illegal.

Trump should just declare him guilty by issuing a pardon.

Obama thought he was so clever. “Russians. Snicker snicker “ “deep state operative. Snicker snicker”

but now he has been caught red-handed!

None. Obama will be charged with NOTHING!

Sessions has recused himself from EVERYTHING in DC. There will be no Deputy AG approved by Congress until 2020 at the rate they are going. That leaves only career Obama people in the DoJ.

The game is rigged folks. Trump has no support from congress. Read Laz’s thread on the timdline to impeach Trump.

Brennan, Lynch or Holder would have to turn states evidence. It is a virtual certainty that Obama never signed such an order and simply told them what to do. Also very doubtful that they kept any credible documentation. The hearing will be a good thing to thwart the ongoing Democratic obstructionism. However in the end doubt there will be any indictments of major figures. Brennan may say that “he is responsible” and ordered the wiretaps in the “interests of national security”. That’s about the most that can be reasonably expected beyond further damaging Obama’s mythical legacy. However any chance to demonstrate to the American people the inherent lowlife nature of the Democrats should proceed with hearings.

We all need to repeat to everyone, especially the media (over and over and over and over...), “What did Obama know, and when did he know it?”

I think Mark Levin is correct in Trump has no choice but to recess appoint a Assistant Attorney General as soon as Congress goes on Recess

I disagree that evidence is not there

Obama knew.

As Levin pointed out, let's have a look at those intelligence briefings Obama was given.

And when parsed with Obama's insistence that he didn't "interfere" with investigations, he knew and could have exercised judgment, but instead let it go forward.

Had Hillary won, the American people never would have.

Mass murder for Fast and Furious. 0bama and H0lder ran guns to Mexican drug cartels knowing there would be many murders and then they planned to blame it on honest gun owners and to increase gun restrictions. The ends justify the means.

Obama will not be held accountable for anything. He’ll get away with all of it, just like Hillary. Mark my words.

Looks like a good time to cut a deal to bring back Snowden. And have him testify against the Obama administration.

I would have to get some extra popcorn for that.
