'Obamagate' backfires: Documents show Biden, Obama acted properly
The Hill ^ | 5/19/2020 | MARIK VON RENNENKAMPFF

Posted on 05/19/2020 4:11:09 PM PDT by bitt

Republicans and right-wing media are in a conspiracy theory-spewing meltdown. In the wake of selective, politically motivated “leaks” of sensitive documents, conservative pundits are launching an avalanche of baseless attacks against President Trump’s political opponents.

But the reality is brutally obvious: Trump is weaponizing the American government to distract from his catastrophically incompetent pandemic response and the crushing economic fallout.

While right-wing media continue to whip their audiences into hysteria over a nefarious Obama-led plot to undermine Trump, the documents — strategically released by Trump’s political lackeys atop the intelligence and law enforcement communities — do absolutely nothing to further such asinine conspiracy theories. In fact, they prove the opposite.

The recently disclosed files show the Obama administration’s diligence and focus in the wake of Russia’s sweeping assault on American democracy. Moreover, contrary to unhinged right-wing conspiracy-mongering, the materials demonstrate Obama’s dedication to upholding the FBI’s independence from improper political influence.

In short, Trump’s election-year ploy to distract the American public with selective leaks of sensitive information backfired. Spectacularly so.

This is the thanks one gets for trying to treat slime like ‘gentleman’, they turn around and bite you.

Same as Brennan, Comey etal, let them walk around free and whenever they get an opportunity they go before a microphone and attempt to ‘destroy’ PDJT.

Then when SOMEONE finally Schiffs and they go after them, they scream it is just a vendetta and the Pres is just trying to get even.

AND far too many sheep agree with them....

Here is all you need to know about the Bozo who wrote this screed:

“Marik von Rennenkampff (NPTS ‘15) [Which is a Master of Arts in Nonproliferation and Terrorism Studies degree] served as an analyst with the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation, as well as an Obama administration appointee at the U.S. Department of Defense.”

No wonder this guy is nuts and helped damage America’s security. Really did well with Al Qaeda, ISIS, Boko Harum, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran and terrorism, Quds forces all over the world, Yemem, Iran’s nuclear weapons program, No. Korea’s nuclear programs, etc.

Yessiree. We have a winner in the “Major Appeasors Contest” for the Obama Regime Period.

To self: Just read the complete text of Marik’s “Opinion” piece. He’s not just nuts, he’s a psychopath.

He used every Marxist/leftist smear word and appellation against Pres. Trump, Gen. Flynn and other American patriots, plus lying about them, in the Hate-Trump Club handbook.

I wonder how much real damage this wackjob did to American security while he was an Obama toady? Time for him to be investigated and brought before a good congressional committee. Make him prove his “statements of fact”. Would be worth the price of admission to see him piss in his Depends when faced with being a perjurer and doing damage to America’s foreign policies and security.

I know that’s not going to happen but he’s the perfect psycho to bring before a congressional committee. He’s Michael Avenatti (before a camera) on LSD, Ectascy, Meth and Coke. No wonder our country is in such trouble and danger. Obama’s team knew how to pick our internal saboteurs well.

Methinks these Swamp Twits protesteth too much. In “Watergate”, the Watergate apartment complex was not responsible for a crime. It was simply a convenient media narrative to refer to the crime that occurred in it. By their hysterical opposition to the name “Obamagate” to refer to the crimes committed by the Obama Administration, the media is showing their hand.

Obama may, or may not, have participated in the crimes. I happen to believe he did, though there is little hard evidence available at this time to prove that. By expressing their fear of the name, it seems to me that the Swamp agrees with me, and simply doesn’t want the evidence exposed.
