Obama’s Fingerprints All Over Investigations of Trump And Clinton
RealClearInvestigations ^ | 22 Jan, 2026 | Paul Sperry

In the run-up to the 2016 Democratic Party convention, FBI Director James Comey gained access to at least eight thumb drives containing large volumes of former Secretary Hillary Clinton’s sensitive State Department emails – as well as some from President Obama – that appeared to have been compromised by foreign hackers.

Instead of investigating the explosive new batch of evidence revealed in recently declassified documents, Comey rushed ahead to close an investigation into whether Clinton improperly transmitted and received classified material from a private, unsecured server she kept in her basement. Comey also took the extraordinary step of bypassing the attorney general and personally exonerating Clinton of wrongdoing during an unusual press conference on July 5, 2016.

Just hours later, Obama invited Clinton – who would be formally nominated as the Democrats’ standard bearer three weeks later – aboard Air Force One to help launch her multicity campaign tour, during which he officially endorsed Clinton as his preferred White House successor. “I’m ready to pass the baton,” Obama declared, as he stumped for her for the first time.

Comey’s decision to remove the cloud of scandal over Clinton’s campaign, allowing the president to get on with the business of campaigning for her, is just one avenue of investigation the Justice Department is pursuing in wide-ranging probes whose targets include a figure largely unscathed by his era’s scandals: former President Barack Obama.

Attorney General Pam Bondi said prosecutors are investigating, among other things, “possible coordination between the Clinton campaign and the Obama administration to interfere with the 2016 presidential election.”

Jason Reding Quiñones, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, has impaneled a grand jury to hear evidence related to an alleged “grand criminal conspiracy” by Obama and Biden officials to enlist law enforcement and intelligence agencies in rigging

Investigations and, tell-all books like “Clinton Cash” alleged Hillary had
potential conflicts, plus “pay-to-play” deals favored Clinton Foundation donors.

Many Foundation donors did meet with the SOS, raising
significant ethical questions about access and influence.

The State Department denied evidence of undue influence, but emails revealed internal concerns about donor access, with some interactions between donors and the State Department occurring.

“Clinton Cash” Author Peter Schweizer alleged that foreign governments and entities making large donations to the Clinton Foundation received favorable treatment or access from the State Department under Hillary Clinton, citing examples like lucrative uranium deals.


Foundation Donors Met with Clinton

An AP review found many individuals meeting with Clinton as Secretary of State had donated to the Foundation, sometimes significantly, highlighting access issues.

Emails showed State Dept staffers worried about appearances, with Clinton publicly declining to attend a Morocco foundation event after the King pledged $12 million to the Clintons, though the Clintons attended the event later...... without fanfare.


Hillary stupidly defended the Clinton Foundation as a “charity”;
critics argued it blurred lines between public service and personal profit.

The privileged access SOS Hillary granted to Clinton donors may have translated into policy decisions, with the available evidence showing strong connections and donor access but direct bribery or unlawful exchange has still to be proven.

When Obama seized two US automakers, I learned it was because they opposed his 55 MPG CAFE.

Totalitarians demand obedience or seizure.

Good catch-—— Obama’s literary agent’s promotional booklet about Obama in 1991 states:
<><>“Barack Obama was the first Afro-American president of Harvard Law Review,”
<><>”Obama was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii.”

He then ruthlessly proceeded to put all Pubbie-aligned Dodge-Chrysler dealerships out of business.

I wonder if some an insider will publish pics of Osama Obama on his prayer rug?

I wonder if there is a mark in the Oval Office to indicate the direction of Mecca.

Well, Barry’s mother was a true-blood American, descended from white American slavowners. Unlike Kamala, who is only descended from white Jamaican slaveowners.

It is Paul Sperry. His work is generally meant for people who want detail, not really people with short attention spans.

It is who he is.

Not meat for the masses of people who live by BRB, IDK, and LOL.

That is like saying I need the new Corvette ZR1X. I need it, but the budget isn’t there, and I don’t see a path forward...

“The boy isn’t an American. Never was.”

If the CIA says he’s an American he’s an American. No matter where they found him. And why are his college records still sealed?

Well it will certainly serve you better in Florida than here in Colorado. As you know, the roads here suck. After millions and millions in Pot tax money, they still suck.
