Just as Nixon acted irrationally facing reelection, Obama saw his third term (in the person of Hillary) cratering into a sinkhole.
Obama had plenty to hide
<><> putting COS Rham Emanuel to tap into the Treasury,
<><>secret cash deals w/ Iran,
<><>Hillary's rogue State Dept,
<<> Obama's monetary deals w/ the Clinton Foundation,
<><>appropriating 100 million tax dollars for his foundation,
<><> massive O/Care corruption aided and abetted by Congressional Democrats...
.....etc etc etc.
Obama HAD to get something on Trump to sabotage Trump's ascendency.
Intel and surveillance were readily available to him...... and so Obama took it to the max.
Is it so hard today to look back at the Senate seat-selling scandal and still believe that Obama wasn't involved up to his ears in the scandal that Rod Blagojevich ultimately took the fall for?
Right from the start we were all witness to the Chicago Way, and it persisted throughout the Obama years to the very end.
