Obama improperly leaps to Hillary’s email defense again

Legal Insurrection

"President Obama has a history of publicly defending Hillary Clinton on her email scandal, and he did it again today on Fox News Sunday.

'"Such public statements in and of themselves are improper political interference in agencies that report to the President.

"In a 60 Minutes interview in October 2015, Obama pretty much signaled Justice to lay off Hillary (emphasis added):

. . .

"Perhaps now we know why Hillary is so confident nothing will happen to her.

"On Face the Nation on March 7, 2016, Hillary rejected the suggestion that she might be indicted:

John Dickerson, host of CBS’s “Face the Nation,” told Clinton he has “talked to Democrats and they worry that somebody is going to get indicted.”

“Well, there is no basis for that,” Clinton responded.

"Worse still, Clinton blamed the State Department for the classification problem, making light of the situation."

Obama tells Loretta Lynch not to prosecute Hillary on classified email crimes

Thomas Lifson  'Interviewed by Chris Wallace of Fox News (transcript here, video embedded below), President Obama pulled down the blindfold on Lady Justice and signaled that there was no crime at all when Hillary Clinton set up an unsecured private server and left classified information vulnerable to hacking by the world’s intelligence services.  He also created a new category of classification: “top secret top secret” as opposed to mere “top secret,” which he averred to Chris Wallace might be information that could be gleaned from public sources."
. . . 

"Nope.  The fix is in.  If the FBI makes a criminal referral, and Lynch declines to prosecute, we are headed for a crisis that will echo Watergate.

"Side note: The left has a new tactic for minimizing misdeeds that are inconvenient for it to confront.  Naming the issue once is now a way of trivializing it.  Only when repeated is it real.  Thus, we need to worry about only “top secret top secret” or, as Whoopi Goldberg put it, “rape rape.”

"Of course, none of this applies to conservatives.

Embrace the Chaos, Excuse the Dust

Jack Cashill   . . .“I'm getting questions constantly from foreign leaders about some of the wackier suggestions that are being made,” echoed President Barack Obama. “I have to emphasize that it's not just Trump's proposals. You are also hearing concerns about Cruz's proposals.”

"The operative word about the primaries among the naysayers is one that Kerry uses frequently, “embarrassing.” The Republicans are embarrassing themselves before the nation and embarrassing the nation before the world.

'"Hogwash.

"This year, the Republicans have defied their own party mandarins, the high priests of political correctness, and a complicit and corrupt media to stage the most exciting and energetic primary process since they nominated underdog Abraham Lincoln on the third ballot during a tumultuous Chicago convention." . . .
