Now, this is presidential obstruction
New York Post ^ | December 18, 2017 | Johnathan S. Tobin

Posted on 12/23/2017 12:29:24 PM PST by richardtavor

What if a president used his power to interfere with a federal investigation involving foreign powers committing serious crimes in the United States as well as elsewhere? Such a thing would be considered a terrible scandal and, no doubt, lead to a federal probe by a special counsel who would be expected to get to the bottom of such a mess. But if you think this is a reference to the investigation led by Robert Mueller into possible collusion with Russia during the 2016 campaign and obstruction of justice once President Trump took office, you’re wrong. While proof that the Trump campaign actually plotted with Russia still has yet to be presented, evidence of another scandal involving President Barack Obama and Hezbollah, Iran and the Russians has just been uncovered in an investigative story by Politico. The tale involves an administration decision to spike Project Cassandra, a federal probe into international drug smuggling, money laundering and terrorism by Hezbollah.

The motive for interference with the justice system was to appease both Moscow and Tehran during Obama’s quest for a nuclear deal with Iran. It happened because, as Politico’s sources made clear, a decision was made at the highest levels of the Obama administration to prioritize making nice with Iran and Russia over the federal government’s obligation to protect US citizens.

It’s the sort of thing that ought to rock Washington. An actual plot that placed the interests of foreign powers over those of the US by Obama.

......proof that the Trump campaign plotted with Russia has yet to surface......

That's b/c it's nothing but an invention of loser Hillary's fervid mind.

......evidence of a bigger scandal involving Obama and Hezbollah, Iran and the Russians has been
uncovered......involves his administration's decision to spike a federal probe into international drug
smuggling, money laundering and terrorism by Hezbollah terrorists.....

The butt-kissing MSM buried that story faster than you can say Kenyan half/caste usurper.

Keep in mind, TheMarxist may well have been within his powers as Commander-in-Chief to block the Hezbolah drug empire investigation because it interfered with his (odious) foreign policy goals.

But the TRUTH of this disgusting policy needs to see the light of day, so that his lionizers are FORCED to confront it (kind of like taking a young cat that has pooped in the house and sticking its nose in the poop as way of imprinting on it that its just not supposed to do that).*

*Caveat for cat-lovers, if there be any on FR: The episode listed above DID happen, over 100 years ago. My father witnessed his mother correcting the family cat in this way. I take no opinion on whether such methods are effective or not (as I will never have a cat), but I would SORELY like to *metaphorically* apply this “method” to those who continue to lionize TheRapist and TheMarxist.

Drag their odious policies and crimes into the light of day, I say!

Mueller will keep everyone busy watching his investigation.
Nobody is concerned what Obama did or Hillary. They get a free pass. The Republicans are up to no good.

Now you have a hint into why the sudden and severe uptick in American opioid deaths.

If the world depended on the Man In The Street reading his daily newspaper and learning of things like this and gettign outraged ... then nothing would happen. Because the media will hide this.

But the world really depends on federal prosecutors finding hard evidence of treason and sedition and sending people to prison.

That’s going to happen. The Dems planned a coup, but it failed. Trump is planning a revolution. It will succeed and the Democrats will cease to exist.

Since Obama is mostly divine and can not do any wrong, nothing wrong was done. You just have to look at it right. And that correct viewing position is skewed by racism and white privilege.

(Project Cassandra)........

."evidence of another scandal involving President Barack Obama and Hezbollah)......

By Jonathan S. Tobin, The New York Post, December 18, 2017

Slowly getting to the top, the Oval Office where orders spring from......"they" knew a Trump presidency would begin the long overdue clean up of Washington D.C. corruption of elected and lobbyists. They knew a President Trump would answer to no one. They knew that the Clinton pay-to-play for the Clinton Global Initiative would end they also knew the Iran and Islam favoritism would be exposed...that and more have kept the Obama gang doing anything they could to stop a Trump presidency.

If the swamp wins, we’re finished. The best we can hope is to slow the inevitable; real facism and totalitarian rule. Waking the public to this threat is essential.

Damn - you’re right. Hezbollah was able to traffic drugs with impunity because Obama spiked Project Cassandra to help Iran’s nuclear program. So with the increased supply of heroin, there was an increase in the number of deaths.

I hope this wakes up at least a tiny percentage of the Obama ‘true believers’.

Obama has turned out to be the traitor we all knew he was before he took office.

I had lost hope in this country when the voters were willing to elect Obama, even after the Jeremiah Wright videos were aired. 20 years earlier, those videos would have destroyed Obama’s chances of winning the Democrat primaries.

But considering that Trump launched his political career by casting doubt on Obama’s birth certificate, and he’s now kicking butt as POTUS, some of my hope has been restored.

I don’t need to see Obama go to jail. I just want him to be thoroughly disgraced.

The swamp is too big to let Trump win. We can hope to hold our own for the next 7 years but after that, it’s all over with. America, it was nice knowing you.

“I don’t need to see Obama go to jail”

If he deserves it.( fair trail and all that.) I think it would send just the right message.
