One more example of the endemic corruption in the Obama DOJ.

This is far from the "most serious." The headline is wrong in that regard.

I’m very surprised that Obama and his Justice Department would have let this go on for so long ...

If you can’t fight crime and corruption, perhaps the judges just decide to partake in the fruits of evil...

The DOJ was corrupt before that. Probably started seriously under Clinton.

Clinton and other a-holes from the former Kenyan Administration are LOL-ing.

You noticed that little piece of "missing" information too, didn't you?

See, with ABCNNBCBS-MSNBC prattling on now for 18 MONTHS about Trump administration crimes, isn't it obvious that the "most serious crime ever committed" was committed BY a (former) Trump DOJ-FBI-CIA-NSA-FEC-DOD-DOE- White House appointee?

Obviously.

Since Smidgen is defined as “a small amount of something”, technically Obama was correct, not a small amount of corruption, a massive amount!

In a court filing seeking leniency, Wertkin said he committed his crimes while on “a terrible path” of abusing alcohol and marijuana during what his defense called “a period of heightened anxiety and depression, a sense of impending failure at work and a deteriorating marriage.”

For once, Hussein Obama is right. He is a serial liar with no moral compass and no shame, so nothing can ever embarrass him.

“My life is over,” Wertkin told an undercover FBI agent after he was arrested wearing a wig and fake mustache at an intended cash drop at a Cupertino, Calif., hotel.

This begs to be a made-for-tv movie. What a complete doofus.
