Trish Regan: The Obama FBI was weaponized for political purposes
Fox Business ^ | 4/27/19 | Trish Regan

Posted on 04/28/2019 1:01:19 PM PDT by Libloather

Tonight the checks and balances of our great American republic have failed every one of us. The abuse of institutional government power for political purposes -- one thing our founding fathers tried to prevent (and mostly had for hundreds of years) -- may indeed have transpired in 2016.

This will go down in the history books as the year our government’s intelligence agencies were weaponized for political purposes to spy on innocent American citizens.

It is now our attorney general’s ethical, moral and constitutional obligation to examine the motives for the spying.

one thing our founding fathers tried to prevent

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Was a President that was not 100% American.

That’s why they insisted on someone who was naturally a citizen because they could not possibly be anything else.

Anyone born with more than ONE nationality is NOT a natural born citizen.

They tried to prevent the Kenyan from Indonesia from being in the White House but NONE of our elected or appointed would step up.

Even though the Soviet Union collapsed, there are plenty of truly evil and vile men who continue to walk free in that country. We must not let the left get away with it here.

The MSM-Democrat lefties think they have the right to turn anything to political purposes, including the hard sciences, the medical profession, the study of the weather, and of course all the social sciences, organized labor, the internet, social media, the teaching profession, publishing, international organizations including scientific organizations... everything.

They believe their ideological goals are of such transcendent correctness that they justify the perversion of literally anything in order to further. They know that the laws of nature tend to go against them, but they see reality as a "special case," and believe it can be replaced by a better reality, a "new world order," "new socialist man," whatever.

The politicization of the law-enforcement elements of the government are a goal and a necessity for them.

Obama belongs in federal prison, yet the media rarely mention him and certainly NEVER implicate him in the COLLUSION DELUSION, IRS scandal or any of his other high crimes.

“Obama FBI was weaponized for political purposes”

“By any means necessary” means exactly what it says.

The Obama administration's FBI and Justice Department used unverified opposition research obtained outside of our country as ammunition to get a FISA warrant to spy on Carter Page, a foreign policy adviser to President Trump during the 2016 election. That is a fact.

If Fusion/Ohr/Steele simply 'created' the stories then it wasn't obtained
from outside of our country at all. It would be completely domestic.
Fusion/Ohr/Steele as source and Steele also as the delivery vehicle to shield Fusion/Ohr.

Since nothing has been verified, not even the sources as far as I know,
how can this claim be made as being a fact?

“Obama belongs in federal prison, yet the media rarely mention him and certainly NEVER implicate him in the COLLUSION DELUSION, IRS scandal or any of his other high crimes.”

My view is that many of these people are inexperienced in reality, come from somewhat protected backgrounds, and approach the world in a very overly simplistic way - while simultaneously thinking of themselves as ‘the enlightened ones’.

For example. I grew up in a neighborhood in which shootings and murders are now commonplace. People have been shot and killed just over a block from where I lived, and all over the city neighborhood where I rode my bike, went to school, and played sports. Friends of mine have been shot, and my cousin kidnapped after her car broke down (they let her go in the end - thank God).

I understand, and the people still living in this neighborhood understand that the situation there is a complex one, and the causes and the fixes are not simple. The real causes and solutions are not addressed by the simplistic but authoritative sociology books and ‘research’ that those who grew up in protected suburban environments now base their ‘superior’ understanding and knowledge upon. These are the people who are now the ‘know-it-alls’ about poverty, race, prejudice, justice, etc. In reality, they are not, but every experience they've had educationally has convinced them that they are.

These people include Hillary Clinton (grew up in a lily white Chicago suburb in a nice house and not exposed to the reality of Chicago's neighborhoods), a ton of those in the news media, and, I believe, the vast majority of ‘social justice’ Democrats and activists. Ironically, Obama is from such a background. Obama was never a ‘brother’. He never had to worry about being shot by stray bullets. His world view is an inexperienced one, irrespective of what he tried to depict in his books.

These types of people are so convinced of the accuracy and truth of their biases and shallow world view, that they feel entirely justified in doing whatever they deem necessary to achieve their version of ‘righteousness’. Their version of ‘justice’.

In reality, they are completely clueless. This, and their fervent belief in their own enlightenment and superior knowledge makes them very, very dangerous.

Obozo’s weaponizing of the government against the people is just the Chicago way as well as the Arkansas way

Saving this line for future use.

Your conclusions I've been saying for a while. Your set-up in this opener is an elegant foundation that I will save and credit.

The corruption and abuse of institutional government power increased exponentially under Obama.

IMO it started when the Clintons took office. Working in middle management for the government, we were astounded when we got word that GS-13/14 level FBI agents were being fired and replaced by people selected by the Clintons.

The Clintons started the Deep State during their regime.

We were dismayed and surprised because government workers at that level are experienced and competent, and only want to please their bosses with solid, honest work. Instead they experienced a purge.

Steele is a British spy...Britain is outside the United States. Ukraine and Australia also contributed dirt.

That's laughable since it's known that he has been to the US many times and your statement in no way proves he got anything from anybody outside of the US.

Ukraine and Australia also contributed dirt.
References to your source of information, please.
