Obama Opines on the Flynn Episode and More
Former President Barack Hussein Obama II
President Obama has been remarkably quiet during this election cycle, only recently endorsing his former Vice President, Joe Biden. Until then he preferred to stay in the background, not seeing it as his role to settle the 2020 nomination. He had, however, counseled more than a dozen declared or likely candidates on what he believed it would take to beat President Trump. He held private talks with leading contenders like Ms. Harris, Mr. Booker and Senator Elizabeth Warren; underdogs like Pete Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Ind.; and prominent figures who remained undecided on the race, like Eric H. Holder, his former attorney general.
Eric Holder. Brrrr….
This quietude has changed.
Skippy sends.
Exclusive: Obama says in private call that ‘rule of law is at risk’ in Michael Flynn case
Michael Isikoff
WASHINGTON — Former President Barack Obama, talking privately to ex-members of his administration, said Friday that the “rule of law is at risk” in the wake of what he called an unprecedented move by the Justice Department to drop charges against former White House national security adviser Michael Flynn.
In the same chat, a tape of which was obtained by Yahoo News, Obama also lashed out at the Trump administration’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic as “an absolute chaotic disaster.”
“The news over the last 24 hours I think has been somewhat downplayed — about the Justice Department dropping charges against Michael Flynn,” Obama said in a web talk with members of the Obama Alumni Association.
“And the fact that there is no precedent that anybody can find for someone who has been charged with perjury just getting off scot-free. That’s the kind of stuff where you begin to get worried that basic — not just institutional norms — but our basic understanding of rule of law is at risk. And when you start moving in those directions, it can accelerate pretty quickly as we’ve seen in other places.”
The Flynn case was invoked by Obama as a principal reason that his former administration officials needed to make sure former Vice President Joe Biden wins the November election against President Trump. “So I am hoping that all of you feel the same sense of urgency that I do,” he said. “Whenever I campaign, I’ve always said, ‘Ah, this is the most important election.’ Especially obviously when I was on the ballot, that always feels like it’s the most important election. This one — I’m not on the ballot — but I am pretty darn invested. We got to make this happen.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Still, Obama’s unvarnished remarks were some of his sharpest yet about the Trump administration and appeared to forecast a dramatically stepped-up political role he intends to play in this year’s election. The comments came during a lengthy chat in which he also sharply criticized the response to the coronavirus pandemic, blaming it on the “tribal” trends that have been stoked by the president and his allies.
“This election that’s coming up on every level is so important because what we’re going to be battling is not just a particular individual or a political party. What we’re fighting against is these long-term trends in which being selfish, being tribal, being divided, and seeing others as an enemy — that has become a stronger impulse in American life. And by the way, we’re seeing that internationally as well. It’s part of the reason why the response to this global crisis has been so anemic and spotty. It would have been bad even with the best of governments. It has been an absolute chaotic disaster when that mindset — of ‘what’s in it for me’ and ‘to heck with everybody else’ — when that mindset is operationalized in our government.
“That’s why, I, by the way, am going to be spending as much time as necessary and campaigning as hard as I can for Joe Biden,” he added.
Barry the globalist sees a populist, America First administration as evil. At least he’s consistent. Read the entire article here: Yahoo News
Thanks, Skippy.

Did that conversation catch any mention of Hillary Clinton not being charged because “no reasonable prosecutor would pursue charges”? Amazing how they found any excuse not to charge Hillary Clinton while going out of their way to find something to hang on Lt.General Flynn.
Because they could not find a suicidal prosecutor
Fixed it for you
Someone who allowed the IRS to screw political enemies and the FBI to engage in gun running to Mexico – then allowed both agencies to try their damnedest to cover up both episodes of official malfeasance, with zero prosecutions resulting for either – has no standing to say a damn thing about the “rule of law”, much less criticize his successor on that basis.
A President who approved of the spying and investigating of a presidential campaign has nothing to say about the rule of law.
The only question left unanswered is “when did Obama order the unmasking US citizens, and when did Obama order the commencement of gestapo tactics by the FBI”?
I’m betting it was in 2009.
Because “that’s not who we are”
which is now “we are all in this together”
Up to your necks Barry, up to your necks.
What do you get when you have Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton together in a room with Barack Hussein and Michelle Obama?
4 disbarred lawyers… all politically corrupt and forever scheming, not to be confused with friendly togetherness.
Flynn admitted under oath that he operated as an agent of a foreign power while working as the national security director. And he did it for profit.
According to the facts agreed to by both Flynn under oath, and the prosecutors the judge said in open court what Flynn did was essentially treason.
And he was known to be compromised BEFORE Trump was even elected. So the investigation into Flynn started before the election and his prosecution was about HIS actions. It had nothing to do with Trump.
The fact that Mueller used the charges against him as leverage does not make him innocent of the crimes he admitted to under oath.
The ONLY reason you are taking Flynn’s side is because your cult leader is telling you to.
It disgusts me how much some of you are willing to put your partisan loyalty over the interests of the country.
If Trump was a democrat you would not be defending him or his administration.
And he was a democrat a few years ago.
In fact he does not believe in any ideology except his own interests. His own greed and power.
“Flynn admitted under oath that he operated as an agent of a foreign power while working as the national security director”
He obviously lied.
“It disgusts me”
And it should.
“If Trump was a democrat you would not be defending him”
You got that right because it would mean he was lying
and as you said that disgusts you.
Anything else we can agree on?
Trump is lying. Does constantly.
But you don’t care.
Enough said.
Obama is lying. Does it constantly.
But you don’t care.
Enough said.
Obama is not smart enough to lie.
Obama says whatever his handlers tell him to say.
👍🏼
Obama thinks “rule of law” is whatever Democrats want and is upset rules apply to them too. He should be thankful he’s not in jail.

Now exactly why would the Commissar be interested in the truth? He and he alone knows the truth. It matters not what the actual participants said.
Absolutely. He’s a Deity, you know. The Greeks called him Koalemos.
You lie constantly in practically every sentence you post here.
And you disgust us.
Enough said.
In fact she does not believe in any ideology except her own interests. Her own greed and power.
Fixed it for you. You were referring to Hillary, weren’t you?
WTF?
Who give a fuck about Hillary? She is a retired grandmother.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
How is that even relevant?
All you did it prove this is entirely partisan for you.
You don’t care what crimes “your guys” commit as long as they are Republican.
Party > country. Truly revolting. Astonishing. Disgusting.
I think Hillary and her Husband should have been charged with corruption.
But that has nothing to do with Flynn.
And you don’t care about the crimes that the Democrats have committed? Not just Hillary, but Obama, Holder, NSA, FISA Courts, IRS?
Read the Transcripts
And to clear up the confusing timeline….
Flynn was already working as an agent of a foreign power prior to Trump appointing him.
During transition discussions the Obama administration warned Trump Flynn was compromised.
Flynn continued to work in the interests of a foreign power after being appointed.
Read the Transcripts Lars
False. Flynn accepted a plea deal to avoid jail in a case we now know to be an entrapment.
In fact, what both the FBI and Flynn have said under oath are essentially a description of an incoming administration National Security Advisor.
The released documents show that he was NOT compromised ever.
The fact that COMEY created charges for a crime that did not, in fact, exist and Mueller then abused what he knew to be a fake case shows just how little “rule of law” regard they had in their quest to railroad Flynn and protect their empires.
It disgusts me how dishonest and retarded you choose to be, aligning yourself with a president, state department, and ideology that you know to be tyrannical.
It amuses me that you then attempt to accuse this administration of being what you support but then get angry about it.
Curb your retardation.
Comey and the FBI come across as a modern version of Beria and the KGB.
Maybe it’s time to shut them down for good… and those that engaged in this behavior be sent to prison?
Hoover’s legacy remains at the FBI. It’s in their DNA.
Ol’ J. Edgar wished he could be like Beriya and Dzerzhinski. Those who followed, many of whom he personally picked and groomed, were no better. The FBI has a long history of appalling corruption, having grown from a rotten seed. Just looking at their history of collusion with the likes of Whitey Bulger makes anyone who’s paid attention very uncomfortable with the fact that they’re also supposed to be responsible for catching foreign spies on American soil.
Ok’ J. Edgar would’ve wanted to be Mika Brzezinski.
“Name the man, and I will find his crime.” A concept Beria lived by; and 0bama’s Deep State was emulating.
What I found amazing was that the CEO of Crowdstrike, the only outfit that actually examined the DNC server, would not swear under oath that there was anything on it that showed Russians hacked into it. So he had no evidence that Russia obtained those emails that ended up with Wikileaks. So the whole Russia, Russia hoax was a massive fraud perpetuated by our Progda.

There is more coming out too
I can’t make enough popcorn for this shit
“NO EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE”

So it’s anything for a friend, the law for my enemies! Seems to be the Obama creed. Obama allows the guns ran into Mexico, the mess in Libya and sent billions to the IRG in Iran and lastly if Flynn was compromised then I guess VP Biden was also. He and his family took a lot of money from China. At least the current administration has tried to protect the country with walls and cut taxes. Trump hasn’t been great but he has tried to do the best he could in my opinion.
Tapdance all you want, while honking that Kazoo.
You were wrong. The transcripts show it. This was a frame-up job from square one, and your favorite thugs are exposed as the corrupt anti-constitution shitbird traitors they are.
Birds of a feather, Komrade Kazoo?
“It disgusts me how much some of you are willing to put your partisan loyalty over the interests of the country.”
Absolutely NO-ONE that supported Barack Hussein Obama can utter that statement with the slightest shred of credibility…
“During transition discussions the Obama administration warned Trump Flynn was compromised.”… That alone would be reason enough to trust General Flynn.. Barry never said or did ANYTHING that was in the best interest of this Country. No person capable of rational or logical thinking would believe that clown if he told them that fire was hot and water was wet, without independent verification!
It has finally reached the point where even I do not find any entertainment value in reading your shit. Even the personal insults are boring.
Speaking of agents of a foreign power….
“This is my last election … After my election I have more flexibility,” Obama said, expressing confidence that he would win a second term.
“I will transmit this information to Vladimir,” said Medvedev, Putin’s protégé and long considered number two in Moscow’s power structure.
Snopes rating: True
The only reason Snopes rated that as “true” is because of the irrefutable evidence of the videotape when both thought the mic was off. Who you gonna believe? Your own lying eyes/ears?
eff that mofo. He ought to know all about the breaking of the laws. He and his ilk did enough of it. Everything that he is accusing others of doing he did. Of course he will be involved in attempting to steal the upcoming election. He helped start the destruction of our Republic, the no election of the Bitch of Benghazi slowed it down, and he wishes to take up where they left off.
And what dahell is the poddled seagull doing up so damn early squawking his crap? You waiting on Mommy to get you a fresh cream pie for breakfast?
“what dahell is the poddled seagull doing up so damn early”
I know, that seemed odd. But it’s snowing like
Hell here this morning so he isn’t the only
thing out of place now that Flynn is exonerated.
Noses out of joint, broken egos, sore taints etc.
Ex-President Sparklefarts / The JEF, has been outed as the person who started the Flynn mess and the impeachment fiasco.
The Federalist / Molly Hemingway has the details.

The Obama Administration shredded the Constitution, got caught, and Barry has the stones to whine about the rule of law being at risk.
What a petulant, narcissistic, arrogant asshole.
The love themselves some Beria – “Show me the man and I’ll find you the crime”.
I think what was unsaid was “you let thids get public indtead of concealing and deflecting like we did with Benghazi, F&F, and the IRS? What a bunch of damn amateurs.”
Coming from the same asshole who let Eric Holder do pretty much whatever the hell he wanted regardless of legality, who had Lois Lerner’s IRS acting as his personal goons against people he didn’t like, who allowed the “Fast & Furious” debacle on his watch, who inappropriately weighed in on the Ferguson and Martin/Zimmerman incidents without bothering to check facts first, told Putin’s lackey Medvedev to wait until after his re-election when he would have “more flexibility,” had James Comey let Hillary Clinton off scot-free for deliberately mishandling classified information, and bragged via his “pen and phone” bullshit that he could rule by executive fiat and ignore both Congress and the Constitution…and suddenly this guy is piously worried about the Rule of Law?
In the immortal words of Redd Foxx, “Bitch, please!”
How -dare- anyone fight back against all that!
Barack wants Biden elected mainly to keep his ass out of jail.
4 more years of Trump will lead to more “unmasking” and not the kind that will help Barry and his cronies.
When Trump gets reelected, you’re gonna see a lot of people buying “vacation” homes in countries that conveniently don’t have extradition treaties with the US
Exactly ^^^^^
He is scared
I would be too
Convene Grand Juries, Tribunal, convict them in absentia, declare them Enemies of the State, and clean up.
Ain’t a spot on this sphere can’t be touched.
Does clean up include asset seizure under RICO?
You evil prick, I love the way you think! (No homo)
I wonder how property values are in Martha’s Vineyard right now.
Not just 0bama, almost all of the deep State swamp creatures want their old status quo back!
LOL…@ Obama And Truth and Transparency all in the same sentence…
Lots of angst on the democrat/progressive side of the world about the Flynn case being dropped.
It’s interesting to me to note that typically it’s the more progressive organizations that will take the case of criminals wrongfully convicted due to police misconduct. And, to their credit, they get cases dismissed or convictions overturned because the police or other LEO coerced confessions, planted or changed evidence, or the prosecutors withheld exculpatory evidence.
So, what do we have in the Flynn case? A coerced confession by the Mueller team, an FBI interview form modified by Strzok and Page (a non-agent, at that!) and prosecutors withholding evidence exonerating General Flynn.
What’s not to like?
I want to echo and say again Ed’s comment because it bears repeating, “The Obama Administration shredded the Constitution, got caught, and Barry has the stones to whine about the rule of law being at risk.
What a petulant, narcissistic, arrogant asshole.”
This! Most of us were just fine, sitting at home or toiling at work enjoying the quid pro quo of being able to work and live in a free country, having a certain amount of government malfeasance and largess foisted upon our shoulders, aka ‘the norm’.
Then the crooked commie went apeshit on our Republic.
I’m all for using the excuse for trampling common sense and the law because ‘we did it with the best intentions’ but that ship done sailed with a laundry lists of High Crimes against our Union:
-Fast and Furious
-The illegal use of FISA to tap an opposing party/candidate
-The DoJ’s (esp DickHolder) contempt for Congress
-“Obama’Care’”
-Weaponizing the; IRS, DoJ, CIA, DIA,… oh hell, the whole of government
-Slow walking the entirety of the Email Scandal
-Benghazi
-Supporting ISIS (with the help of McCain, May he rot in hell)
-On damn TAPE, promising support for Russian intervention in Crimea and Syria
-Again, Demonrats using gov to smuggle weapon tech to powerful foreign interests
I could go on, but at this point it’s useless.
Justice will never be served. This wasn’t politics, it was something completely different. His admin, the Dems in general, and the power structures intrenched in DC have used the great nation as a piggy bank, exporting a Holy Hell across the globe and sodomized us for the ‘pleasure’.
I’m done with him, her, and the rest of them.
And a person or two posting here think that list of abuses is just a good warm-up for what they want to do next.
Damn right it is!
That whole ‘Consent of the governed’ thing seems to be a quaint notion for them. Hide the ‘necessary evils’ of policy to achieve the agenda don’t fly.
That’s not how this works.
“That’s not how this works”
https://youtu.be/XNZFdZnYR44?t=13
Bingo, my thought to a t.
What is seared in my brain is the day Comey called a presser, stood there and itemized every element of the crimes the witch had committed with her illegal server, then made up “intent” as an excuse to not prosecute any of it.
That was his resume for a job in her administration.
“Intent”. Isn’t that what the FBI investigators specifically said Flynn didn’t have?
“Obama Alumni Association”
When I read that, my eyes rolled so far into the back of my head I was looking down my fucking throat.
Imagine the vacuous, fan boy bleating that must occur in that thing.
I had the same reaction. OF COURSE there’s an official organization of his “friends” that has his name attached to it, probably organized as a 501(c)(3) or something. And I put friends in quotes because when they’re in danger of being jailed (and they will be), they’ll have no loyalty to him. No honor among thieves.
Clancy, FTW!
I wonder how many ‘get out of jail free’ cards were issued, like the 05JAN17 meeting?

Obama Alumni and Friends Society
OAFS
Is the SHIT GETTING REAL???
And comments…
https://twitter.com/me_think_free/status/1259132790794321921
I have a hard time believing that, but I must admit, it would make me truly happy!
If this was true I’d shit my pants
But unfortunately he will never See a jail cell
On the flip side I wonder about some Republicans
Who at the time of these hearings were hell bend
On blocking this and why One would be Paul Ryan from Wisconsin
But there are many more
Is that Jevon Smith the college basketball player or Jevon Smith the “young man living and working in NYC”?
Sounds like somebody must be planning a “Surprise” party for Barack Hussein…
Get Trump a second term, and things will likely get -very- real.
” talking privately to ex-members of his administration,….In the same chat, a tape of which was obtained by… in a web talk with members of the Obama Alumni Association.”
LOL. Privately, indeed. Eight years in the White House and he thought talking to a large group of political hacks over the internet would be ‘private’?
Don’t forget how creepy it is there’s an “Obama Alumni Association”. Cult of personality much?
There’s no deep state. I’m sure every member of the Obama Alumni Association is not employed by the federal government, right?
Naw. Doesn’t pay enough. Lobbying and CNN pay better. You must be thinking of the Obama Fan Club.
The whole thing was staged; and an Obama-bot gave the tape to David Ignatius, with the intent it be published in their Progda. It was done to counter the stories of that Jan. 5, 2017 meet with 0bama and his minions that proves the JEF was the ostensible leader of the coup.
So with obamas rule of law, It’s okay to frame someone as long as the peep being setup is not a demoRAT.
Unfortunately true
As long as the Dem. adheres to the Party line.
I guess Commander Zero forgot about his SOS’s husband, the disbarred Slick Willy, and his false testimony to the Grand Jury and his testimony in his deposition before that federal judge. Cuz later, Billy Jeff admitted he was lying about his sexual relationship with that WH intern. But then I suppose all of that depends on what the definition of “is” is, since BJ was not then getting a BJ when he was testifying under oath.
