Rush Limbaugh "RUSH: We now have more evidence via the text messages from Strzok and Lisa Page that this is all about Obama. That everything here is about protecting Obama, not just Hillary, in order to protect Obama. And I’m talking about the corruption that was the Obama presidency and specifically the corruption of the intelligence agencies and the FBI, well, the entire DOJ.
"And I think one of the primary reasons they all wanted Hillary to win was to make sure we never knew any of what we now do know. That was the primary goal of having Hillary Clinton win was to be able to continue to mask and cover up and hide what Obama and his administration had been doing."
Chris Wallace is interviewing Obama. Question: “Some people are worried that the decision how to handle the case…” This is the Clinton email story. “Some people are worried that the decision how to handle the case will be made on political grounds, not legal grounds. Can you guarantee to the American people, Mr. Obama…? Can you direct the Justice Department to say Hillary Clinton will be treated as the evidence goes. She will not be in any way protected?”
OBAMA: I can guarantee that. And I can guarantee that not because I give, uh, Attorney General Lynch a directive. That is institutionally how we have always operated. I do not talk to the attorney general about pending investigations. I do not talk to FBI directors about pending investigations. We have a strict line, uh, and always have maintained it through this, previous presidents.
WALLACE: So just to button this up —
OBAMA: I guarantee it.
WALLACE: You?
"RUSH: Okay. So let’s put this all together. Strzok texts, her to him, “We gotta get Comey fully up to speed because POTUS wants to know everything.” Meanwhile, Obama said, “Nah! There’s never, never any crossover. I never tell the DOJ what to do. I don’t care! I never interfere. There’s a line that we don’t cross. Guaranteed we don’t cross it. We never do cross it. I never tell Lynch; I never do anything.” But yet Lisa Page tells Strzok, “We gotta be thorough. POTUS wants to know everything.' ”OBAMA: I guarantee you that there is no political influence in any investigation conducted by the Justice Department or the FBI, not just in this case, but in any case.WALLACE: And she will be —
OBAMA: Full stop! Period!
WALLACE: And she will be treated no differently?
OBAMA: Guaranteed. Full stop. Nobody gets treated differently when it comes to the Justice Department because nobody is above the law.
WALLACE: Even if she ends up as the Democratic nom —
OBAMA: How many times do I have to say it, Chris?* Guaranteed.
RUSH: Right. How many times did he say it? All right. Now let’s go to the next bite. Same show, April 10, 2016, Wallace says, “Last October, you said that Hillary Clinton’s private email server did not jeopardize national secrets. Since then we’ve learned that over 2,000 of her emails contain classified material. Twenty-two of the emails contained top secret information. Can you still say flatly that she did not jeopardize America’s secrets?”
OBAMA: Here’s what I know: Hillary Clinton was an outstanding secretary of state.
. . .
OBAMA: She would never intentionally put America in any kind of jeopardy.
. . .
OBAMA: And what I also know because I handle a lot of classified information, uh, is that there’s classified and then there’s classified. There’s stuff that is really top secret top secret —
. . .
OBAMA: — and there’s stuff that is being presented to the president or the secretary of state that you might not want on the transom, uh, or, you know, going out over the wire but is basically stuff that you could get in open source.

*Obama does not like to be challenged. One tell he has when an interviewer irritates him is to begin his answer with "Look......"

Up until the present moment, Barack Obama has been missing in all the discussions of surveillance misbehavior. And most curiously, Obama has been almost invisible, staying quiet, and not using his expensive Washington, DC mansion (shared with [Valerie] Jarrett) as a base for leading the opposition to President Trump, as many of us expected him to do. |
