It has always been difficult to believe that Brennan, Clapper, Comey, Rice, Lynch, and senior subordinates such as Ohr, Strzok, and Paige -- a partial listing -- would/could have coordinated so precisely on parallel tracks while operating independently. And since the Clinton campaign and the DNC financed the Steele dossier, HRC and senior campaign and DNC officials were involved as well. Obama doesn't strike me as devious enough, clever enough or energetic enough to have originated and managed the effort, but he would presumably have had knowledge of it and would have given approval. A LOT of people are likely implicated. I am agnostic about who the originator might have been. But the alarming thing is that the much of the top echelon of U.S. intelligence and law enforcement collaborated so readily, with no apparent pushback and no whistleblowers until Mike Rogers stepped up. Obama politicized the agencies to an unprecedented degree. This is not limited to DOJ and the intelligence agencies.
“..Obama doesn’t strike me as devious enough, clever enough or energetic enough to have originated and managed the effort,”
Two words: Valerie Jarrett.
btw, I DO think 0bama is devious enough to love the idea..
