Washington Examiner ^ | May 13, 2020 | Caitlin Yilek

A former White House physician lashed out at former President Barack Obama, claiming he “weaponized the highest levels” of government to “spy” on his successor.

Ronny Jackson, who is running for Congress in Texas, made the accusation after Obama weighed in on the Justice Department’s dismissal of charges against Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn,

“Every Deep State traitor deserves to be brought to justice for their heinous actions,” Jackson tweeted Tuesday.

Tommy Vietor, a former spokesman for Obama, was shocked by Jackson’s comment.

“Ronny Jackson was friends with Obama and his entire staff. I never heard him make a partisan statement. So it's really been sad to watch him debase himself by lying for Trump

Comey: “I’ve Never Thought” Of Electronic Surveillance As Spying

RCP Video ^ | 4-11-2019 | Ian Schwartz
Former FBI Director James Comey said Thursday ... “With respect to Barr’s comments, I really don’t know what he’s talking about when he talks about spying on the campaign,” Comey said. “It’s very concerning because the FBI, the Department of Justice conduct court-ordered electronic surveillance. I have never thought of that as spying.”

Like a surfer catching a wave, he's probably smart to catch this swell and ride it to November.

If it fizzles (and we all hope it doesn't), he can jump onto another topic.

But if it turns into a giant tidal wave...well, Cowabunga!

The Gateway Pundit ^ | 21 Sep 18 | Jim Hoft
George Papadopoulos, the Trump campaign volunteer targeted by the Deep State and foreign spies let loose on Twitter this week and claimed he was targeted by US allies and “Obama knew!” Papadopoulos tweeted on September 13th that the Brits met with him often before the 2016 campaign – While I have never met a Russian official in my life knowingly, the British government liked to meet me quite often throughout the campaign. Including Tobias Ellwood, who was right under Boris Johnson, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.— George Papadopoulos (@GeorgePapa19) September 14, 2018 Papadopoulos notified the FBI that he thought...

Shock: Adam Schiff Investigated Devin Nunes’s Phone Records

Breitbart ^ | 3 December 2019 | JOEL B. POLLAK
House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) investigated Ranking Member Devin Nunes (D-CA) as part of his impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump, the committee report revealed on Tuesday. The revelation that Schiff had obtained telephone records related to Nunes was the only new revelation in the report, which otherwise re-hashed Democrats’ arguments in favor of impeaching Trump for allegedly asking Ukraine to interfere in the 2020 election. In a press conference Tuesday afternoon, Schiff declined to say when the committee had obtained the records, but given the Democrats’ repeated questions during the inquiry about administration officials who had...

Maybe it’s time to re-open the case on Obama’s weaponization of the IRS under Lois Lerner. It established the fact that abuse was taking place, and now verifies the other abuse of power that was taking place in the rest of his administration all along.

Hillary Hires ‘Dude, This Was Like Two Years Ago’ Aide To Help With Book Roll-Out

The Daily Caller ^ | May 30, 2014 | Alex Pappas
As she prepares to answer questions about the Benghazi attacks of 2012, Hillary Clinton has hired former Obama aide Tommy Vietor to help with the roll out of her new book. Earlier this month, Vietor, a former Obama administration national security spokesman, appeared on Fox News to defend the administration’s response to the attacks and famously said to anchor Bret Baier: “Dude, this was like two years ago.” Here is the transcript from that exchange: BAIER: Did you also change ‘attacks’ to ‘demonstrations’ in the talking points? VIETOR: Maybe. I don’t really remember. BAIER: You don’t remember? VIETOR: Dude, this...

As the former White House physician, Dr Jackson knows what a small penis Obama possesses.

A high school friend of mine sent this to me a few minutes ago. He is a retired Colonel from Delta Force, and he sent me this text that was sent to him from a DC lobbyist. He gave me the Okay to post this here.

“From a friend who is a lobbyist in DC:
At least two high level players have struck deals with Durham. What is about to be revealed is that the NSA monitoring which goes back before a Trump won nomination, had a very specific purpose—to collect evidence of trumps ‘shady’ financial relationships which the Dems were certain they’d find b/c every business bends rules and uses loopholes —unfortunately for them Trump had none—but they just knew that couldn’t be true and their legal experts told them that any info on his business could be easily turned against him as a crime-(eg Manafort) so the Russia thing was the cover they used to get FISA warrants that would allow them to continue wire-tapping him and his team-this also underscores how huge it was when Adm Rogers discovered and shut down their illegal monitoring op—although frustrated they were still confident when mueller investigation started b/c they thought for sure one of Mueller’s targets would turn and tell them of all trumps illegal business deals—ironically what really saved DJT and the nation was Trumps squeaky clean ethics and history.”

Believe me I don't want to destroy this mans' life but there is this:

On April 23, 2018, the U.S. Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs postponed a hearing on his nomination after current and former employees on the White House medical staff accused Jackson of creating a hostile work environment, excessively drinking on the job, and improperly dispensing medication. Senator Jon Tester told CNN on April 24 that Jackson was known as "the candy man" inside the White House, according to around 20 people who brought these concerns to the Veterans' Affairs Senate Committee. He would allegedly hand out Ambien, Provigil, and other prescription drugs "like they were candy".

When the attack on Jackson began there were rumors Jackson was passing out drugs in the White house and on Air Force One flights during the Obama administration.

Since Jackson was Obamas' physician he should have only been prescribing drugs for Obama.

If true who was Jackson giving drugs to in the White House and on Air Force One other than Obama? The crew? White House staff? Members of the media?

Accusations of misconduct caused him to drop Trump’s nomination to head the VA, probably made by Obama’s folks.

I think Ronnie got the Kavanaugh treatment by dims who didn’t want him to be the Secretary of the VA. Imo. I can’t prove it though. There is supposed to be a DOD investigation into this. I haven’t heard anything about it and wonder how it’s going.

“Ronny Jackson was friends with Obama and his entire staff. I never heard him make a partisan statement.”
_________________________________________
And yet, the entire prog machine tried to get Dr Jackson fired for saying Donald Trump was in excellent health and had amazing stamina for a man his age, with his schedule.

Maybe Ronny learned some home truths about his friends of the zer0 staff.
