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?

The trail may well lead to Obama but he will never be connected just as in the IRS and DOJ scandals. His appointees know what he wants and do it, thus giving him plausible deniability while burying the mess in the subterranean bureaucracy where facts blur into nothingness.

Adding his actions to the time-line might be instructive.

Your link should be posted as a separate FR thread, if it’s not already.

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

but now he has been caught red-handed!


That’s exactly what happened.

Now, the media, the dems and the RINOs are going to try to cover it all up and make it seem like that didn’t happen at all... but that’s exactly what happened and I don’t think the coverup will be successful.

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.

NO.

Sessions recused himself from investigations into Trump campaign contacts with Russia.

zer0 switched the line of succession at DOJ to make sure one of his minions, buddy of Clapper and ardent prog would be Deputy AG. EARLY in the transition, this was noticed and quietly changed. I can’t recall the name of the current Deputy AG, but he was reinstated to his position by Trump. You can search for the name. I use StartPage...Google without the tracking.

At this point in time, slow walking confirmations/appointments is a losing cause that draws unwanted attention to the Congress. Trump can appoint someone at the first recess, which I believe is at Easter.

Your concern is noted.

President Trump should stay out of the WH. My not-that-crazy suggestion is for the residence and Executive Branch, by invitation and escort only, be moved to Camp David.

The only way to get away from the treachery is an unanticipated move such as that.

JMHO

I hope in the next week or two, Mister Obama, now a private citizen suspected of conspiracy to overthrow the US government is visited by some hard boiled copper and told -

"Don't leave town"

Yup. Nice to dream but Obama is never going down. Nor Hillary. That would mean there was accountability. But Obama might be further discredited and taken out of the game. That would be a best case scenario

I think the Democrats were a bit uneasy in the early summer. They couldn't be sure what the Bernie supporters were going to do, and Trump was certainly a wild card in a general election.

They thought they would win, but they needed something to really smear Trump, and they thought the Russian thing might do it. Manafort had some connections, and this was just the way in, selling it to the FISA court as a national security issue. When they were rebuffed by the courts, they found a new narrative to try after the DNC and Podesta leaks appeared. This time they got their warrant.

I think this was always meant as an October/November surprise. They never thought they would lose, hence the willingness to use the federal intelligence apparatus. In their arrogance, they saw this as low risk, high reward. It turned out to be the the opposite.

Is it a misdemeanor to scuff up the hanging rope with your neck? 😀

Trump should just declare him guilty by issuing a pardon.

Dude - you should be on Twitter with that shizzle.

My first (reasonably well legally informed) opinion is "no crime" by Obama.

If Trump was snooped inappropriately, he has a civil claim against the government. The perjury and illegal dissemination claims are lost by use of cutouts.

At the same time, this is political dynamite. Obama, the DEMs, etc. were abusing legitiate government powers for purely political ends.

Fire them, then promote the next in line with the clear instructions to stick to the LAW and the FACTS. If they don't do so, repeat the process.

There are more than a few of the really witty 97ers & 98ers on Twitter. :)
