What is with this curious — now deafening — silence from former President Barack Obama on these charges that his administration spied on a political opponent at the very height of a presidential campaign?
Since President Trump first leveled the incendiary charges in early March, there have been thousands of press articles and endless hours of speculation on cable television about the high-level accusations.
Every word, character and symbol of punctuation from Mr. Trump has been parsed and sussed and diagrammed.
Yet, from media darling Barack Obama (about whom the accusations were made!)? Not a peep.
This is no small thing we are talking about here. We are talking about a sitting president’s administration using the terrifying powers of espionage of the United States government to conduct an intelligence operation against a political opponent before, during and after that target was elected president of the United States.
So much for “peaceful transfer of power.”
This would be 10 times more serious than Watergate. We are talking a constitutional crisis the likes of which we have never seen in modern times.
And all anybody around here seems to want to talk about is the exhaustively investigated — yet still unsubstantiated — conspiracy theories about Mr. Trump’s supposed ties to Russia.
Well, what about Mr. Obama? Did he actually morph into Russian President Vladimir Putin himself? Did he turn the White House into the Kremlin?
Those are much graver charges than whether somebody has “ties” to the Russians. And so many of the questions about Mr. Obama’s involvement in spying on his political enemy remain unanswered.
Actually, they remain unasked at this point.

Obama is a real sob democrat who is allowed to ignore everything scandalous.
Probably hasn't heard of it yet. No newspapers on Brando's Island./s
Ping.
Obama is also still out of the country.. seems he’d been doing that for a long time
You will never hear him respond in public. It is not outlandish to envision a scenario where Trump’s endgame all along has been to build this case to the point where — for the first time in history — a former president is served with a grand jury subpoena in a matter involving criminal activities in his own administration.
>>I don’t think any serious person actually thought Mr. Obama himself in a hard hat and work gloves with wire snips was in the walls at Trump Tower twisting wires together.<<
Why not? The Left believes that George W. Bush personally planted explosives in the World Trade Center towers. And SIMULTANEOUSLY in the Pentagon!
Obama has gone out of the fire and he sure as hell doesn’t want to find himself in the frying pan, so to speak. It would be the mother of all fish-fries. The guy has so much to be concerned about as far as his chickens coming home to roost and right now, I consider Barack Hussein Obama to be Public Enemy #1.
There are lots of articles about the incompetence of Nunes. But zippo on the potentially damaging information in his documents and nothing except from Fox on the Trump release of these documents to both the Dem and the GOP members of Congress who have the security tickets to view them.
This information will come out in the media. The MSM is paying a blind eye to it right now. Even Drudge is staying away from the story for unknown reasons. But the heat is being turned up by Trump. The boiling point is near (IMHO). I would not be surprised if selected documents are declassified and released. That is the obvious next step.
Stay tuned.
Why the curious vacay in a non-extradition country?
To hear Soetoro tell it, he personally loaded the gun and shot OBL.
Exactly.
I would bet that obummer’s lawyers have told him that the trap is set and if he runs his mouth, he will be in the trap.
The Democrats HAD to push the Russia narrative because they had to cover for their intrusions. After they lost, they knew it would come out.
If they can get a warrant to confiscate the harddrives inside the Obama compound, and the Soros and Clinton compounds, what would they find? Probably enough to hang the entire Democrat Party.

That should be printed every morning in every newspaper in the US.
Preferably on the front page.
But don’t hold your breath.
Or is exiled to queer island forever.
I’m giving DJT the benefit of the doubt that he’s keeping his ammunition dry until SC pick confirmed. If a shit storm of DOJ investigations on Clinton/Barry don’t ensue I see it as Trump’s emasculation.
He knows the routine. He has the right to remain silent. He knows whatever he says can and will be used against him in a court of law.
Other than statements or press releases put out by others, is there any record of Obama saying ANYTHING after he left office?
