We live in very interesting times.

It bridge gate that kept him out of that job.
Oh Barry! You got some splaining to do!
“Why?” Because, in some ways, for no better reason than they thought they could, and in their end-justifies-the-means minds, anything they could do to preserve Obama’s legacy.
I doubt the foundational thoughts were to protect Hillary, but rather, their first thought was pro-Obama. Remember, Obama was brought kicking and screaming to last minute support of Hilary. OFA/Obama and the Obama team all hate the Old Line DNC/Clinton people and all Hillary’s acolytes, and the feeling is mutual. He “stole” her presidency in 2008, and the feud is worse now than it ever was.
Obama’s people were all Sanders supporters, some very openly, others more quietly, but they were not, until it was H vs. T that they became tepidly pro-Hillary.
Over a private WH Thanksgiving holiday dinner in 2014, the Clintons tried to get Obama to stop any inquiry into her time at State, including the emails. Obama refused. It get so heated, Slick and the Hildabeast left in a huff before dessert.
The long ball look at all this is, how can the Dems sustain any Russia-related attack against Trump when Obama, in fact, and Dem, was wiretapping an opposing candidate.
Also, from a legal standpoint, no judge is going to put his name on an intercept authorization of ANY political candidate for president. I can see the judge, “I don’t care if you have an 8 x 10 glossy of then entire Trump family worshiping at Trotsky’s grave, get that POS application out of my court.”
Also, the disguised re-application with Trump’s name off it is going to reeeeeaaaaly PO some judge. They do not like that kind of BS.
