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 Leftists playing for all the marbles, and they’ve been caught. Be prepared. We know what that can look like.
Interesting, I posted a comment at the site and it has been deleted............
I am a civilian and I don’t live in Washington DC... but I know barack hussien obama.... from seeing him for 8 years.
He’s a controller... he lives for what he can do that elevates him... he is full of himself and who he thinks he is... he has no conscience and he has no desire to do good.. he just wants power to control... making him higher in stature than others... after he was elected President, all that he is and thinks he is....went into high gear...he will not allow anyone to contradict him or disagree ... he wants praise and will not stand for put down...it’s ok if he makes rude and hurtful remarks...but don’t anyone else do it to him...
he is a snake in the pit and he will be one for the rest of his life... living high on the hog, thinking he deserves it... and finally.... he is not a nice guy... he is a snake in the pit of the swamp life.... and a disgrace..
Yeah a 0bammy but kisser extraordinaire. His hatred of us is all consuming.
Wow, this is an apology for the deepest parts of the Deep State.
So now aren’t we all deeply ashamed here? We fell for an election year distraction in which Obama was smeared by innuendo./S
If Barr and Durham play us for country bumpkins and say “nothing we found indicates the mistakes made were within an indictable range of behavior” then we have had it.
63 million Trump voters will not agree to play by the first grade rules any more against the bullies.
...a smelly pant load.

...not that there’s anything wrong with that.
"Diligence and focus" or "more flexibility," as Obama promised to Russian President Dmitri Medvedev in 2012?

If they did everything properly, fine, let Trump do the exact same thing to Biden’s people and see if they will be OK with it, cause heck everyone does it
Decriminalizing crime and criminalizing good work.

It’s Opposite World.
This isn’t a news article from the Hill, it’s an opinion piece written by an Obama stooge. I’d say we’re right over the target.
Well, if MARIK VON RENNENKAMPFF says it, it must be true.
All liberal dims have something missing in their genetic makeup that enables them to distinguish right from wrong.
The result is a complete lack of moral character.
The author of this garbage is exhibit A.
That there are so many of them is frightening.
This guy writes like he’s a real expert on “backfires”.
