Exclusive: Obama says in private call that 'rule of law is at risk' in Michael Flynn case
Yahoo ^ | 5/08/20 | Michael Isikoff

WASHINGTON - Former President Barack Obama, talking privately to ex-members of his administration, said Friday that the “rule of law is at risk” in the wake of what he called an unprecedented move by the Justice Department to drop charges against former White House national security adviser Michael Flynn.

In the same chat, a tape of which was obtained by Yahoo News, Obama also lashed out at the Trump administration’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic as “an absolute chaotic disaster.”

“The news over the last 24 hours I think has been somewhat downplayed - about the Justice Department dropping charges against Michael Flynn,” Obama said in a web talk with members of the Obama Alumni Association.

“And the fact that there is no precedent that anybody can find for someone who has been charged with perjury just getting off scot-free. That’s the kind of stuff where you begin to get worried that basic - not just institutional norms - but our basic understanding of rule of law is at risk. And when you start moving in those directions, it can accelerate pretty quickly as we’ve seen in other places.”

**SNIP**

“That’s why, I, by the way, am going to be spending as much time as necessary and campaigning as hard as I can for Joe Biden,” he added.

The news was “somewhat” downplayed he said. Their media not only will downplay it but they’ll twist it and warp it to sound like they’re the victims.

But why? Why does Obama hate Flynn? I’ll bet you it’s over something very petty. Maybe some offhand remark Flynn was reported to have made. Michelle’s weight,perhaps?

Well, the Halfrican thinks law and order, as he sees it, is breaking down. Maybe he needs to strap on his six gun and head towards Pennsylvania Avenue at high noon.
I’m sure that Big Don would step out into the street to accommodate Bathhouse Barry, also know as the Teleprompter Kid.

Obama is finally starting to do the cornered rat act like Comey and Brennan. Good. Justice escapes no one.

Rumor is Obama had a lot more sympathy towards radical Islamists than Flynn did.
