How Obama is funding the anti-Trump resistance
New York Post ^ | September 23, 2017 | Paul Sperry

Posted on 09/23/2017 12:11:39 PM PDT by yoe

[snip]The Obama administration’s massive shakedown of Big Banks over the mortgage crisis included unprecedented back-door funding for dozens of Democratic activist groups who were not even victims of the crisis.

At least three liberal nonprofit organizations the Justice Department approved to receive funds from multibillion-dollar mortgage settlements were instrumental in killing the ObamaCare repeal bill and are now lobbying against GOP tax reform, as well as efforts to rein in illegal immigration.

An estimated $640 million has been diverted into what critics say is an improper, if not unconstitutional, “slush fund” fed from government settlements with JPMorgan Chase and Co., Citigroup Inc. and Bank of America Corp., according to congressional sources.

Trump axes Obama's 'slush fund' for radical agenda
wnd.com ^ | 6/12/2017 | Art Moore / FR Posted by rktman

A virtual “slush fund” of taxpayer money the Obama administration took then deployed to support private lib/prog groups that advanced his agenda has been shut down by Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

Sessions issued a memorandum June 7, 2017 to all U.S. attorneys and Justice Department leaders that put an end to the policy of requiring the department’s settlements with defendants, particularly corporations, to include donations to non-governmental organizations, Breitbart News reported.

Among the recipients of the funds under Obama, was the radical National Council of La Raza, or “The Race,” which supports mass illegal immigration.....and ACORN under a pseudonym.

In 2015, WND published a four-part series exposing the massive shell game with taxpayer funds that, while not new, was perfected by the Obama administration as a means to deploy and reward nonprofit co-laborers in an effort to fulfill the president’s stated aim of radically transforming America.

So why isn’t this fund frozen then investigated then prosecute obama and all those responsible for this illegal shake down. Is justice that impossible in America today?

Just arrest all the offenders for their known crimes then as the investigation opens up new crimes; add them to what they are being charged with.

People like obama, rice, soros, lynch, holder, et al should never see the light of day again once all their crimes are brought into the light of day.

BACKSTORY--Sessions investigating ‘slush fund’ used by left-wing groups
New York Post ^ | 5 Aug, 2017 | John Aidan Byrne / FR Posted AM by MtnClimber

Attorney General Jeff Sessions is investigating up to $6 billion in legal settlement money that the Obama administration steered toward progressive causes and allies in left-wing advocacy groups. A memo sent to US attorneys on July 28, published Friday by Breitbart news, ordered a review of a decade’s worth of payouts that Congressional Republicans have called a political slush fund.

Former Attorneys General Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch regularly arranged for major corporations to make large “donations” to left-leaning groups like UnidosUS — formerly the National Council of La Raza — and NeighborWorks America. (Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...

The Obama factotums conspired to use govt power during settlement negotiations against large banks that to end banking, environmental, civil-rights, and other contrived federal lawsuits.

The Obamanoids brazenly colluded to extort govt-mandated settlement monies-----government fees they themselves set....in order to subsidize activist left-wing groups.

The Mafia could not have come up w/ a more devious plan to profit.

Obama's got oodles of money (via his "federal inheritance"----tax dollars moved offshore)...... and he's got OFA. He can cause lots of mischief.

OFA has to be closed down.

--Obama's Organizing for Action's digital ad campaign---- is pressuring members not to go along with Trump's popular wall along the US-Mexico border.....the singular item that got Trump elected to office.

REFERENCE----NBC News reported Obama’s presidential campaign has turned over its most valuable asset (besides his voter fraud MO)— consisting of a massive computer database containing personal data on millions of American voters — to OFA---his pressure group created to act as a shadow govt.

Onetime Obama aide, Katie Hogan, spokeswoman for OFA, told NBC News the OFA information will be used to unleash an “army of door knockers” to advance issues and to raise money in crucial congressional districts.

OFA plans to support Obama’s gun control proposals, even offering a sample script of what they should say to Congresspersons. (Excerpt) Read more at investigations.nbcnews.com ...

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

MEMO TO PRES TRUMP---- Organizing For Action (OFA) has already acquired access to the Obama campaign's database under a leasing agreement, OFA's Katie Hogan told NBC News.

NOTE....Obama's supporters voluntarily shared personal data with the campaign ... and have no idea the data has been transferred and is being used for purposes beyond the election....for purposes some consider illegal....

Campaign donors do not yet know, OBAMA leased the info to OFA and is making money off their personal information.

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

(HAT TIP STRA6) OFA may be committing criminal violations, b/c the FEC prohibits donor lists (published as a matter of public record) from being used for other solicitations, either political or commercial.

It’s all about the money. The Clintons are living proof of the old adage, “Follow the money and you will follow the crime.”

Trump (and the Congress) should find out the whereabouts of the old govt-issue computers Obama removed from the White House. The computers are official US Government property laden w/ rules, regs, and laws.

<><> the old govt-issue White House computers may have been relocated to Obama's OFA operations center in his rental house.

<><>the computers would show what Obama knew, and when he knew it, as well as any email he had with the buck-raking Clintons.

<><> the computers could expose Obama's disloyalty to Americans and to his party.

<><> the missing computers are the only known electronic links to Obama's clandestine operations and could be used as evidence of impropriety.

This funneling of bank fines to uninvolved third-party radical Leftist groups really amounts to nothing more than extortion and racketeering. Obama and his minions were more effective than the mafia because they had more “muscle” to apply to corporations. This is the type of corruption that always happens with big governments.

Portrait of a government shakedown.

Good ol' boy Joe Biden (right) was in top form----warning BP execs (left) if they did
not come across w/ 20 billion dollars, the Obama admin would take it from BP.

And look at the sincere look on the half/caste face of the Royal Idiot.
Means Jarrett (left) probably had all the offshore wire-transfers set-up into French Polynesia secret bank accounts.

Also present: DHS Janet Napolitano and Labor Secy Hilda
Solis. That's COS Rahm Emanuel's hand w/ pen at lower right.

UPDATE: There as a big show of handing a couple million.....but the 20 billion is till unaccounted for.

Thanks Liz. Great post.

Obama is a national security threat. Why isn't the FBI raiding his place to get those computers? Why isn't Obama under investigation for spying, unmasking, weaponization of our IC against political rivals, sedition and treason?. . . Plus add the other list of scandals too numerous to mention here. It boggles the mind that Obama and Hillary are walking around as Ayers said, "Free as a Bird".
