Obama Is Not Alone: The Clinton Effect Where Criminality Can Be Overlooked When It Is “Our Guy”
During a period where a number of tawdry political actions were committed by the Obama administration, the choreography of events represented a near whole of government effort-plus-as it included non-government officials and the Democratic National Committee as well as foreign actors-to go after a political rival.
All of which was needed-justified-to bring a full-court press to bear in an attempt to blunt and curtail Donald J. Trump’s political aspirations and momentum to undermine-in order-the Trump presidential campaign, the interim period where Trump as the president elect was trying to marshal his team, and then President Trump. While bolstering-shepherding-and committing the ultimate two-fer by simultaneously violating the public trust in shaming the office of the presidency by escorting the Clinton campaign to the finish line by taking whatever actions were deemed necessary to do so: regardless of legalities.
I’ve made the point in previous articles that this activity could not-and would not-have happened without sanction from President Obama. A President-as the executive in charge-is responsible for everything their administration does and fails to do. The president is most similar to a military commander from that perspective, view, or standpoint of culpability. A leader can delegate authority but not responsibility. A good catchphrase for a leader is that it might not be their fault, but it is their problem: think Fast and Furious (more on that disaster later!)
Many might be surprised to learn that the framework to charge Obama was written some time ago in June 2014, by Andrew G. McCarthy entitled “Faithless Execution: Building the Political Case for Obama’s Impeachment.” McCarthy-a self-described conservative-which he explains does not mean-much like many of us-a republican, lays out the constitutional remedy for an arrogant political leader to be held accountable; while acknowledging it is a step that should not be taken without public support for the action.
He also contrasts Obama’s conduct with fellow ethically challenged office holders Nixon and Clinton-in making the case that the latter did not undertake a systematic effort to undermine the constitutional framework in terms of the separation of powers, thereby warranting application of Alexander Hamilton’s interpretation of High Crimes and Misdemeanors-”as an abrogation or violation of the public trust.” A charge somewhat transcending mundane criminality.
What is somewhat fascinating about McCarthey’s premise is that it was written long before any of the later actions that I’m referring to as treasonous, including Obama’s leadership of the underhanded actions that constituted a (n attempted) coup d’etat against the ultimate President of the United States, Donald J. Trump.
I’m getting ahead of my narrative but full disclosure-I already wrote much of the rationale and basis for this case in a series of articles addressing several of the political serpents of our generation-Hillary Rodham Clinton (HRC-The Hildebeast Exposed: Et Tu, Barry?) and Barrack Hussein Obama (Obama’Linsky-Obama Knew: Obama The Teflon Don (Alinsky,)) who both share attributes that fall under McCarthey’s criteria and Hamilton’s interpretation.
I would add a third series to the mix regarding Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. (Lunch Bucket Joe–Globalist Folly As Fashion Back In Style In The Swamp, with the caveat that articles 1-17 timed off our site over time.) And as long as we are on the topic (political serpents…) there is a fourth series to encompass the scum at the top layer of the intelligence community (IC) headed by Clapper and Brennan, and Comey somewhat in the drive-by through association (Intelligence Community Soilage Campaign: Clouseau Without The Humor, the first article has already timed off the web site.)
The bottom line somewhat in the middle here is that there was a spate of Obama Administration US government conducted political and lawfare related actions that trod with dirty boots on the carpet represented by the traditions of selfless service in public office defined by fealty to the constitution and unwavering execution honoring their “so help me god” promise of their oaths of office.
The point of my articles was that we knew enough to state with relative certainty over 3 years ago-although I would extend that timeframe back to McCarthy’s 2014 book-that Obama was behind many of these sordid activities to be discussed and they meet the textbook definition by Hamilton about violations of “the public trust.”
Clinton is a perfect example of Hamilton’s explanation, the poster child! Clinton lied about his involvement with a White House intern, wasting massive amounts of government time and resources until he was forced at the point of a blue dress to face the music and take his medicine. Hamilton spent considerable time explaining how such violations do not have to be-and most often aren’t-illegal actions under the law. The standard relates to the public trust and it is a category that is often a puzzlement only to those political zealots whose loyalty blinds them to the truth-and the remedy-as surely as lady justice is similarly blinded in favor of the weight of the truth.
Obama similarly had a casual and selfish/self-centered relationship with the responsibilities of his office, particularly when it came to the promulgation of standards and fealty to the constitution throughout his administration, as well as the meaning and letter of the obligation in relation to civilian servant oaths of office.
The public saw that “feature” play out early in his presidency when he dismissed and lectured one of his former senate colleagues, the most bi-partisan, RINO-like republican-John McCain-that “elections have consequences.” Or later in his presidency when he invited a group of republicans led by Paul Ryan to the White House to discuss economic and medical proposals and proceeded to demagogue Ryan in his closest approximation of using the president “bully pulpit” the public had seen.
Where Obama committed the violations of the public trust starts out with his lies about the Unaffordable Care Act mantra about keeping your doctor, your plan and saving money: none of which was ever true. That did not stop him from repeating it thousands and thousands of times. I don’t bring that up to load the scale with “stuff” in an attempt to gather a bunch of it to load on the scales, but more to point to a trend that spanned and therefore characterized his tenure in office. Some still believe that “he” actually believed what he was saying: that assumes he is dumb, slow, or delusional. He is none of those things: but he is a politician.
Many of the laundry list to follow is detailed here. There was his circuitous and imaginative-inventive-prose concerning the prevailing US government position on the Defense of Marriage Act, which in the final analysis was not defended in court by AG Holder when the US government was called upon to do so. I don’t want to go through all of the public trust issues, but things like his apology tour in the Middle East (complete with pictures and video, which his team lied about.) Fast and Furious, the IRS scandal, the OPM security breach, the early engagement with the Iranians-and the lies that said it was not ongoing-when some 86% of Americans did not support it, the Arab Spring support for the Muslim Brotherhood at the expense of Hosni Mubarak, the quest to kill Qaddafi which left an ungoverned wasteland in his wake for 12 years and counting, the Color Revolution in Ukraine that toppled Yanukovich-that led to Putin taking Crimea without a peep from the US-and later resulted in the Russian engagement that has festered, smoldered and broken out for some 11 years. There were his missteps in the Middle East that resulted in Russia getting invited back into the fray to broker a peace by helping safeguard Syrian WMD. There was the disastrous terrorist attack on Benghazi on the anniversary of 9-11 where our Ambassador (Stevens) and a number of embassy and security personnel were killed and the Obama Administration lied about it from minute one, all in the cause of spinning things during an election season. There was the continuing engagement with the Iranians that saw us pay a ransom for military (US Navy) hostages that Obama denied in the face of overwhelming evidence until forced to admit it, there was the pile of cash paid to cement the disastrous JICPOA negotiations conducted like some type of mafia payoff, there was the curtailment of Hezbollah and Hamas money laundering FBI long term investigations on efforts throughout the US, Central and South America working drugs, car theft rings and blackmail schemes all focused on funding terrorism across the Middle East (Project Cassandra.)
Whether you agree or disagree with an initiative to talk to and broker peace with the Iranians, I think most can agree that the first agreement-and the condition set-should have been to stop killing American military and civilians in Iraq: that request/demand/point was never apparently put on the table.
The above is all old news in the Obama scandal-free administration. I’m not mentioning some of the “little stuff,” Boston police debacle, Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, or others because while sordid and evidence of amateur hour politics, most pale in comparison to actual impeachable, treasonous offenses.
Speaking of the 2016 election cycle, it was all going somewhat splendid and Okey Dokey up to a day that will live in political self-own infamy in terms of Presidents eating a leather sandwich in public. As early as March 2013 during the period of the Benghazi congressional hearings it was reported in the press that HRC was using a private server to communicate with others that included the hated Sidney Blumenthal who had been tied to Libya State Department efforts: he who Obama declared HRC was not to hire after his racial sliming of Obama in the Carolinas in the 2008 campaign season. You may recall two of the HRC chief slimeball campaign sensationalists/dirty deeds merchants were Sid “the snake” and Cody Shearer.
You would think the LSMBTGA or congress or somebody-anybody-would have been interested or curious or motivated to follow-up the idea of State Department business being conducted over HRC’s personal email account, but-nope-there was no follow-up at the time. It wasn’t until 2 March 2015 that the New York Times broke the story that HRC had been exclusively using her personal email account to conduct State Department business.
Strangely enough the Washington Post later reported that the House Select Committee on Benghazi requested HRC emails from the State Department in summer 2014, only for State to discover that HRC did not have a government email account and was conducting all State Department business over her personal email account that was conducted over her personal server: holy catfish!
From the piece: State Department spokesman John Kirby told the Post in a statement. “State Department officials contacted her representatives during the summer of 2014 to learn more about her email use and the status of emails in that account.”
I bet they did! President Obama was speeeecifically asked about the HRC server issue 7 March 2015:
Plante, March 7: Mr. President, when did you first learn that Hillary Clinton used an email system outside the U.S. government for official business while she was secretary of state?
Obama: The same time everybody else learned it through news reports.
I could say a lot of things about where things ended up coming out of the above somewhat chronology of woe about the HRC server. But most of it I already wrote about in the aforementioned HRC Hildebeast series, particularly this article.
This was the moment that Obama made a pact with the devil that resulted in all of the acts he committed going forward that would violate the public trust. Only in this case becoming pot committed to a cause-because you made a silly, thoughtless statement due to hubris and getting away with lies for years on end-eventually caught up with him.

A succinct answer to the question posed; “highly doubtful”…
“Succinter” back atchya: agree.
One has to be clear eyed about this sedition, treason, violations of espionage safeguards, call it what you will. Clapper and Brennan have already somewhat subtly invoked the Nuremburg Defense (“odd to be attacked for following orders.”) They should be encouraged to complete the record of who directed what, when and why-in exchange for not being hounded by lawfare for the rest of their natural lives. ODNI Clapper allowed Brennan to sideline the NIC to produce the Russian Interference ICA expeditiously. Obama is the one who gave the orders to do so on an accelerated timeline: although it was no doubt a scheme of Clapper and Brennan since Obama doesn’t have the chops-the intel savvy-to choreograph such a scheme. The same goes for the dossier briefing to Obama, subsequently to Trump and then the leak to Clapper’s future employer-CNN.
A congressional censure based on fact findings that has largely already been done by Devin Nunes and Kash Patel in the HPSCI would get things on the record. The biggest new “news” in this matter that was not known is the recently disclosed fact of the Dutch Counterintelligence report that precipitated the Brennan briefing to Obama.
