He’s right this was leaked on purpose but wrong about the reason.
In the call, Obama denies two facts that are easy to check:
1. Flynn was charged for a no-material alleged lie. That’s not perjury.
2. People have been let off for prosecutorial misconduct, even under Eric Holder’s DOJ.
Why?
Answer:
Watch and learn. There will be no fallout from these lies. No reporter will ever question Obama about them, in fact they will be repeated as the truth. If Democrats win in November (and note: the supposed point of the call is to get people to focus on winning in November) it will be as if he never told these lies.
THAT’S CALLED A MESSAGE
It’s a message to the troops in the trenches within the DOJ and FBI who are tempted to go states evidence. Just hang in there and deny the obvious for 6 more months and we have your back.
