The Stench at Obama's DOJ and FBI
Real Clear Politics ^ | 1/24/18 | John Lipson

Posted on 01/24/2018 6:22:48 PM PST by markomalley

For a brief, shining moment, CNN paused in its nonstop coverage of everything it loathes about President Trump for some actual “breaking news.” One of the network’s reporters had noticed that Congress was looking into malfeasance and political corruption at the Obama-era Department of Justice, FBI, and intelligence agencies.  This is still news to most mainstream outlets.

There are now three major congressional investigations, peeling away layers of political bias, unequal application of the law, and, perhaps even felonies by senior officials who may have leaked classified documents, obstructed justice, and violated Fourth Amendment guarantees against unreasonable search and seizure.

These probes center on credible allegations that the FBI and DOJ fixed the investigation of Hillary Clinton to clear her and her top associates, and then launched an investigation of Donald Trump for partisan political reasons. If these allegations are true—and they have not yet been proven—this is the biggest American political scandal since Watergate. It would mean that the executive branch agency tasked with enforcing the law, instead subverted the law to protect its favored presidential candidate and damage the opposition party’s. Then, it tried to cover it all up.

Each day as more is revealed. The more valid and outstanding is Travis McGee's jpg, which told us what was happening in the DOJ/FBI before all of these emerging reports.

Weeks ago Travis Mcgee started posting his Smug Thug shots of the seditionist thugs in the DOJ/FBI shown below.

The peeling back of the onion with DOJ and FBI really gets you thinking of how plugged in Trump was with his “deep state” comments. With his patience, techniques, intelligence and acumen, I think we’re in for some paradigm shifting changes in gubmint. I just pray in 8 days or 8 years the RINOs don’t screw it up.

These days it’s Sessions’ DoJ/FBI.

Did Sessions approve the “They’re LOST!” press release?

The Clintons and Obama, really stunk up the place.

The Dems on Capital hill didn’t help any.

Leftists went all-in. And now they’re hung out to dry.

If we only knew how much...

I think we’re going to find out too.

There is ZERO comparison between Watergate and what is happening now.

Watergate: A bunch of hapless dimwits planting surveillance bugs in a hotel room.

Obamagate: Politically weaponizing the FBI and Justice Department in order to rig a presidential election and, when that failed, to stage a coup d`etat. Oh, and then cover it all up.

These questions are not directed at apolitical, career agents, who serve with honor.

Those would be the agents resigning in protest en masse and leaking and whistle-blowing all over the place, no?

All things considered, the DOJ and FBI are still Obama’s with Clinton influence. The left will gladly run the clock out even after the President Trump second term. They know this as well as the NeverTrumptards. It is all such a joke.

Everything that kenyan POS touched has a stench to it. Repairing OUR Country is going to take a while.

There comes a point where apparent incompetence soon becomes clear as intentional malevolence.

OBunghole crossed that point about two weeks into his first term.

Lipton is not expressing the full horror of what they have done. As you say, it was sedition and coup d'etat.

...this is the biggest American political scandal since Watergate.

No, in the entire history of the Republic. The second biggest scandal is the press completely ignoring this scandal and carrying water for Democrats.
