What if the FBI Had Probed Obama?
wsj opinion ^ | 1/23/2019 | Lee Smith

By the bureau’s Trump standard, he looked like an agent of Iran.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation reportedly opened a counterintelligence investigation in 2017 to find out if President Trump was a Russian agent. What if the FBI had similarly looked into whether President Obama was an agent of Iran?

The FBI would have been called racist, of course!

Heck, people asked to see Obama’s birth certificate, and the guy spent millions of dollars fighting that simple request. And the media tried to shut the whole thing down as pure racism.

But Trump? Oh, anything goes there! Investigate away!!

What if ObaMao had done stuff like employing a radical Iranian woman as his most trusted advisor? Or flown a half billion dollars in cash to the Mullahs?

Who watches the watchers? Who gave these people permission to operate? There was some woman who was in charge of another department than the FBI, who was as big a snoop as J Edgar Hoover, no one even knows her name?

They’re saying snoops can figure our your behavior from your friends’ twitter postings even if you never had any social media and never will.

These are the real tyrants today. The Tree of Liberty is wilting because of lack of being watered with their blood.

This is what REAL Russian collusion looks like:

Go to Google and type in “What if the FBI Had Probed Obama?” and you will be transported to the article where you can read the opinion piece. Not sure why this works, but is a good work around.

Stupid hypothetical. As we’ve seen repeatedly since the election (although nothing is being done about it), the FBI was all-in for Obama and in total opposition to Trump. And let’s not talk about Hannity’s “rank-and-file street agents”; I don’t recall a single person currently employed by the FBI speaking out about the Bureau’s behavior.

There aren’t even any credible ‘anonymous’ sources within the FBI protesting the FBI’s political activities.
