Yes, it is nonsense. In fact, outside interests appear to be inciting the MB.

What leverage does U.S. have with Egypt?
Former Defense Secretary William Cohen weighs in on the difficulty the U.S. faces in dealing with Egypt.
(Clinton admin RINO, I know.)
WASHINGTON — Most nations, including many close allies of the United States, require up to a week’s notice before American warplanes are allowed to cross their territory. Not Egypt, which offers near-automatic approval for military overflights, to resupply the war effort in Afghanistan or to carry out counterterrorism operations in the Middle East, Southwest Asia or the Horn of Africa.
Losing that route could significantly increase flight times to the region.
American warships are also allowed to cut to the front of the line through the Suez Canal in times of crisis, even when oil tankers are stacked up like cars on an interstate highway at rush hour. Without Egypt’s cooperation, military missions could take days longer.

The US has no leverage now....Obama has created a void and there were and are plenty who have stepped in to fill it. He has laid his hand down cause there’s nothing to play with.....he can only press the other nation leaders and even there he’s only given a polite ear at best.
As to the goods on Obama...I don’t know enough of that story to comment fully...but if it’s there you can be sure the politicians involved are doing what they can to cover and or retrieve... or destroy that at ANY cost. ..and likely working on just that in and out of Egypt.
