So now here is a summary of the Netflix-Obama relationship:
Netflix CEO raises large amounts of money for Obama in 2012 campaign; Netflix lobbies and gets net neutrality; and then, around 16 months after Obama leaves office, the Obamas get a contract worth $50 million even though they have no experience providing content.
Since Obama, Netflix, and others are so interested in equality, I am sure they will be glad to list all other similar contracts to the Obama's with other men, women, blacks, Hispanics, LGBTQ members, and others. They should highlight the contracts with other people with no experience.
It should be especially degrading to other producers and developers of content who have gone through school, worked their way up, and plied their trade their entire lives to get small contracts that all the Obamas had to do was use the husband's powerful government-paid position to push through a regulation to get rewarded so handsomely. I have to hand it to the Obamas. They didn't set up a fake charity like the Clintons to take the kickbacks or have to give hundreds of speeches to greatly enrich themselves. They just signed a contract and took the money directly.
Reed Hastings, by the way, was not the first bundler Obama rewarded. Solyndra comes to mind, and there were many more.

Never had it in the first place.
Quid pro quo.

Ain’t politics wonderful?
SOURCE - WIKI In April 2012, Netflix filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to form a political action committee (PAC) called FLIXPAC. Politico referred to the PAC, based in Los Gatos, California, as "another political tool with which to aggressively press a pro-intellectual property, anti-video-piracy agenda."The hacktivist group Anonymous called for a boycott of Netflix following the news.
Netflix spokesperson Joris Evers indicated that the PAC was not set up to support the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA), tweeting that the intent was to "engage on issues like net neutrality, bandwidth caps, UBB and VPPA."
The kindly, compassionate Obamas plan to work on stories that “promote greater empathy and understanding between peoples and help them share their stories with the entire world.”
Netflix says the couple formed Higher Ground Productions LLC to broker the deal. A firm with that name was incorporated in Delaware in April, public records show.
The multi-year Netflix agreement, in the works since at least March, calls on the Obamas “to produce a diverse mix of content, including the potential for scripted series, unscripted series, docuseries, documentaries and features,” which will be broadcast in 190 countries, according to a statement from the streaming service, which has 125 million subscribers around the globe.
Netflix received hundreds of résumés and story ideas after announcing the partnership, the source said.
We dropped Netflix like it was of puss filled loogies.
Who needs them? There are so many other less expensive sources of entertainment to be used it makes no sense to bother with NFG. (No’effin good)

Official Misconduct statute: “a public servant is guilty of official misconduct when, with purpose to obtain a benefit for himself or another” he (or she) “commits an act relating to his (or her) office but constituting an unauthorized exercise of his official functions, knowing that such act is unauthorized or s/he is committing such act in an unauthorized manner.”
As a crime of the second degree, official misconduct carries a minimum sentence of five years in prison without parole, and carries a maximum of ten years.
I don’t contribute to Netflix. So it makes any future decisions regarding them, easy.
No pardon for you, Kenyan. Thanks Hojczyk.

Another Clintonian style “Pay to Play” scam on the American citizen.
Today, students, our vocabulary lesson comes from the Latin.
Repeat after me, “Quid Pro Quo”
And still the DC swamp is seeking to destroy Trump. This despite the clear and convincing evidence of corruption at the highest levels of government for the whole of the 0bamunists regime.
The tree of liberty cries out for a watering...
Forget the investigation, just tax them as they should be and problem solved.
Since Disney bought Netflix, all their ‘specials’ feature Homos and biracial stuff. The biracial doesn’t bother me, it’s the HOMO stuff. You don’t need it in EVERY Netflix special.
Sounds like Hilly and Billy schooled Obama in grifterdom...
