FULL TITLE: Former Obama Advisor: Investigating Origins of Russia Probe 'Waste of Time,' 'They Will Find Nothing'
WASHINGTON – Ben Rhodes, former deputy national security advisor to President Obama, said U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr and the Justice Department “will find nothing” that shows former President Obama or White House staff had any political “involvement” in the origins of the Trump campaign and Russia collusion investigation during Obama's time in office.
Rhodes was asked if he thinks the DOJ will find anything during the investigation.
“No, no, I cannot be clear enough about this. We didn’t even know there was an FBI investigation of Trump. I didn’t. President Obama didn’t, like, we actually abided by the firewalls between – if there were any investigations that took place, those decisions were made in the Justice Department, in the FBI, not in the White House,” Rhodes said about the DOJ probe after a discussion at Georgetown University about his book The World as It Is: A Memoir of the Obama White House on Thursday evening.
“They will find nothing that suggests there was any political or White House involvement in any of that. Literally, I learned about the FBI investigation of Trump as a private citizen in the frickin’ Washington Post. So, you have to understand, we actually abided by the longstanding practice of the White House not getting involved in that kind of stuff,” he added.
The DOJ Inspector General is currently investigating the origins of the Russia probe during the Obama years. The final redacted Mueller report was released last week.

I immediately reach for the remote whenever Chris Hahn and every other liberal appears on Fox. Can’t stomach any of them let alone watch a town hall with any of them. Their ratings will drop like a rock when the rat primaries are in full swing.
Was that the very same Intelligence Community Assessment that included the fake “bought and paid for” Steele Dossier that was inserted at Comrade Brennan’s behest?
There is an old aphorism that is still true today:”someone has a copy somewhere.”

Ben Rhodes is full of shiff. Hussein was/is active in the treasonous coup.

They’ve had enough time to destroy most of the evidence. I’m sure they have overlooked something.
Very likely. -Hope someone of the Rs in congress are taking notes.

Wasn’t he the fiction writer for Obama’s White House? Talk about a true believer.
