SCANDAL-FREE: Joe Biden Insists that the Obama Administration Was Without Taint (Really)

By Ari Lieberman

On December 13, former vice president Joe Biden appeared on CBS with the hosts of “This Morning” where he peddled his new book and showered his former boss with praise. During the course of the interview, he was asked about his relationship with Obama and responded with the following; “I’ve served with eight presidents and I’ve gotten to know four of them very well. I’ve never met any president that has more character, more integrity, and more backbone than this guy does.” Then he went completely off the rails when he absurdly added; “And eight years, not a hint — not a hint — of a scandal.

What was perhaps even more outrageous than the statement itself was the fact that none of This Morning’s hosts challenged the veracity of that statement and allowed it to pass without a scintilla of scrutiny, exposing yet again an extreme bias existing within elements of the establishment media. In fact, the Obama administration was among the most corrupt and scandal-ridden in recent memory. Biden’s comment merits further examination so let’s take a stroll down memory lane. Buckle up!

SOCIALISM IS PERFECT: Its failures can only result from crimes by dastardly saboteurs.

By Lloyd Billingsley

It was long past time for a woman to be president and former First Lady, U.S. Senator and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was the best candidate. Opponent Donald Trump, on the other hand, was sexist, racist, and Islamophobic. Therefore, the only way progressive Hillary could have lost was if Trump colluded with Vladimir Putin to steal the 2016 election.

That remains the narrative of Democrats, more than a year after Robert Mueller’s biased probe has failed to find any evidence. As it happens, there is an historical parallel to such fathomless credulity, and it also pertains to Russia.

QOTD: "This FISA stuff is the kind of thing that’s like a waterfall, only it cascades UP. Who would want to take sole responsibility for “wiretapping” a presidential candidate? Everyone on whose desk that landed would realize he had to talk to the person above him. The process already involves the FBI sending their applications to DoJ, and Bruce Ohr surely wouldn’t sign off on that before talking to Lynch. And Lynch, realizing the potential scandal for Obama, would take it to the White House, and the WH would get it to Obama himself. The probable reality is that before that happened on paper (or digitally) there would have been voice only discussions to make sure nobody took traceable actions without full approval first...

...the fact is that if the GOP hopes to survive politically Republicans would be insane not to go for prosecution on as wide a scale as possible. You can’t allow coup conspirators to skate. In our political environment you hafta be careful–and maybe that’s what’s going on at DoJ–but in this situation they’ve gotta be relentless. If these guys skate and the Dems get back in, I shudder. They won’t stop at anything." --Retired FBI Special Agent via Scott Johnson

SHOCKER: Associated Press and Washington Amazon Post Circle the Wagons Around Dirty Andy McCabe

The hard left progressives who run old media outlets like the AP and WaPo are running scared. Bit by bit, the corpus of the greatest scandal in American history is being exhumed and brought into full view.

As a central figure in the affair, FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe has yet to testify in a public venue about his various conflicts of interest and his untoward actions to protect Hillary Clinton and attack Donald Trump.

The media is currently using two themes to protect McCabe, one more ludicrous than the other, as we shall see.

Bill Priestap’s boss, Andrew McCabe has been caught. Bill Priestap’s subordinate, Peter Strzok, has most certainly been caught. And in March 20th 2017 FBI Director Comey pushed Priestap directly in front of the congressional oversight bus.

My hunch is either Bill Priestap is going to be the attempted fall-guy for the entire scheme. -OR- Bill Priestap saw the bus coming and is assisting the swamp-draining DC investigators." --Sundance

A Deep Dive Into "The Timeline of Treason": The McCabe Affair

Over the last few days, I've been adding to the "Timeline of Treason", an exhaustively documented spreadsheet outlining the contours of what may be the greatest political scandal in American history.

In short, it appears that the Obama administration, the Clinton campaign, and the DNC conspired with willing executives in the DOJ and FBI to weaponize government against Donald Trump. This weaponization -- quite similar to how Obama used the IRS, the Bureau of Land Management, the EPA, Health and Human Services, to name but a few -- was designed to target Obama's political opponents. It is the stuff of a third-world country.

But, in all seriousness, Obama always did admire the likes of Castro and Chavez. So why wouldn't he emulate their techniques?

But, I digress. Here are some key observations and questions after review of the timeline related specifically to FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, which should be posed by the FBI Inspector General as well as the House and Senate Intelligence Committees.

MUELLER’S CYNICAL COUP ATTEMPT: An Inept and Conflicted "Investigation" of Non-Existent Collusion

By Matthew Vadum

The unprecedented theft of thousands of likely privileged Trump transition emails by Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller’s investigators is yet more proof that the open-ended fishing expedition is continuing to move forward with its effort to reverse the results of the 2016 election.

News of the misappropriation of the email tranches comes weeks after Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) urged that Mueller quit or be fired, saying the independent prosecutor has “indisputable” conflicts of interest.

“We are at risk of a coup d’état in this country if we allow an unaccountable person with no oversight to undermine the duly-elected president of the United States,” Gaetz said, echoing earlier remarks by writer Michael Walsh who asserts the Left is engaged in a “rolling coup attempt” against President Trump.

QOTD: "To date the investigation into the Fusion GPS-manufactured collusion scandal has focused largely on the firm itself, its allies in the press, as well as contacts in the Department of Justice and FBI. However, if a sitting president used the instruments of state, including the intelligence community, to disseminate and legitimize a piece of paid opposition research in order to first obtain warrants to spy on the other party’s campaign, and then to de-legitimize the results of an election once the other party’s candidate won, we’re looking at a scandal that dwarfs Watergate—a story not about a bad man in the White House, but about the subversion of key security institutions that are charged with protecting core elements of our democratic process while operating largely in the shadows." --Lee Smith
