Scarborough: Pro-Biden White House Sending Message to Justice Department About Hillary?
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/25/2015 5:36:06 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

If you're Hillary Clinton or one of her supporters, this should make your blood run cold. On today's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough said that the unequivocally pro-Biden statement from Obama spox Josh Earnest yesterday not only sent "a strong, strong message to Hillary" but, echoing the Wall Street Journal, "you wonder whether they're sending a message to the Justice Department as well."

Has there ever been anything quite like this in the history of American politics? It's one thing for a president to encourage his veep's presidential ambitions. It's entirely another for a president to put his 800-lb. thumb on the political scales by suggesting to his Justice Department that he'd like it to launch an investigation of the veep's main rival.

You mean he's going to let the Justice Dept. do their job? The real question, Has there ever been anything quite like this in the last 7 years of American politics?

> I believe Hillary will sing like a Mockingbird, about Obama, about Holder, about Jarrett, about Pelosi signing off on Obunga being legal to be President. She knows where many of the bodies are buried. She may even have a stanza or two about Slick before she’s through. Copping a Plea. State’s Evidence.

That would be fantastic. It always does the history of this country a service to see the high and mighty brought low.

Does anyone else think it’s strange that Bill Clinton has been very quiet throughout this whole controversy? Regardless of what you think about him, he’s still very popular with the Democratic base. Why hasn’t he been out there in the media defending Hillary?

This is Party politics at it's most nakedly vicious. I imagine in Commie Land this is how people rise and fall in the ranks. It is pure insider elbow throwing.

The Repubs are doing the same thing against it's base.

My point is that the Uni-Party is a closed powerful entity that guards it's gates, extracts a high price for entrance and rewards those who are loyal to the reigning personality.

This omniscient power structure we call democrats and republicans has no allegiance to the American people or the US Constitution. They are serving themselves at our expense.

Obama choosing Biden over Clinton, exercising the levers of power to effect his outcome, reveal the real game.

I am interested in anyone lie Trump and Carson who are clearly outsiders, who can upset the Uni-Party, no matter how briefly.

A Biden/Clinton ticket? The plagiarist and the leaking e-faucet? Unauthorized data in, unauthorized data out?
Somehow I don’t see that happening. Besides, Biden may be crazy but not stupid. Would you want her as your veep? Who’d be the food taster?

When considering Trump and Carson, we see the surface. We don’t see much beyond that which has been made publically visible.

In the case of Carson, I suspect that his strong corporate connections came to him and urged him to jump in the fray. I believe he has very strong but invisible support from powerful corporate but Republican interests.

The same is true of Trump. It is obvious that he has a very strong and capable organization that act as colonels and majors and captains to his general officer rank

Both have managed to create strong organizations and capabilities from apparently new resources different from the tired old tried and true.

Trump is the thumb drive replacing the floppy

Would not be the first time. Obama hopped on YouTube and directed the FCC to do a 180 on Net Neutrality. They complied.
