When you are an illegitimate usurper and everyone has acquiesced to your usurpation and therefore implicated themselves in your crimes, you have no fear of consequences.
Especially if your ‘anointed one’ is gonna win the next election by a landslide................
While all that is true, I still think Obama was much more motivated to do his part in these affairs to keep a co-conspirator in power and thus continue the cover-up and the illicit acts than any desire to see Hillary as President. I still think he hated her guts (and vice versa) but like members of a criminal gang, they had enough on each other that they were co-dependent on one another to keep his/her mouth shut regardless of personal feelings.
“...and therefore implicated themselves in your crimes, you have no fear of consequences.”
Yes. Make everyone that might be a threat, guilty. Get-out-of-jail card -— right out of the RAT playbook.
