New anti-Trump emails: Obama “wants to know everything we’re doing.”

Newly released emails between two anti-Trump FBI agents reveal that not only did they despise Trump, they had contempt for all Republicans and the “ignorant hillbillys” who voted for them, and most important, President Obama wanted “to know everything we’re doing.”

The timing of the texts reveal that Obama was not interested in any investigations of the Clintons, but in the work these agents were doing in trying to build a Russian collusion case against Trump.

More here.

Both links also provide video of Obama speaking just prior to this text’s date where he pointedly claims that he does “not talk to FBI Directors about pending investigations.”

Overall, the evidence here is building that these FBI officials, their superiors, and Obama himself, were conspiring to use the power of the government to attack a political opponent from the opposition party, a direct attack on our democracy.

Genesis cover

On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.

 
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.


The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
 

"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

    Wayne,

    Heheh, thought that sounded like Proverbs. Take the NIV with a grain of salt ;)

    My point was simply that, although many media outlets proclaimed the former president’s caution in Syria, the truth is quite different – he was hands on, and we can see the results.

    Laurie-
    Yowza, you, are a very well read, smart bunny!

    -This situation just begs for something from Shakespeare, Orwell, or the Bible.

    Totally tangentially– after watching the Jordan Peterson Bible Series, I don’t know what Version, is ‘accurate!’

    1599 Geneva Bible:
    “A fool’s lips come with strife, and his mouth calleth for stripes.”
    “A fool’s mouth is his own destruction, and his lips are a snare for his soul.”

    Not that you’d ever need it, over at biblegateway dot com, they have “all of them,” the contrast is striking.

    Quote from Obama: “I guarantee 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. Period.

    Didn’t Obama also say “Period” right after lying to us that we could keep our doctors and our healthcare plans? He said that lie time after time, too. It sounds like he sometimes gives a second clue as to when he is lying (other than his lips moving) and a third clue when he repeats himself over and over again and again. It seems that the more emphatic Obama is, the less truthful he is.

    Wayne,

    You know, I have a degree from seminary, and a patent in the field of computer science, and the first thought I have every morning is how utterly ignorant I am – no matter how hard I strive to learn.

  • Garry

    Good point, Edward. The mannerism that always told me that Obama was lying was then he said “Let me make one thing perfectly clear.”

    These texts are from 2 September 2016, and on 5 September President Obama met directly with President Putin at the G20 gathering in China and warned him to discontinue Russian interference in the election. Around this time the FBI and DHS were briefing both the White House and Congress on Russian interference, and it would be reasonable for the POTUS to want “to know everything” before confronting his Russian counterpart. That part sounds reasonable to me.

    I wish he’d have been concerned about the US Government interfering in the election.

    This walks, talks and quacks worse than Watergate.

    Let’s not be squishy… these are capital crimes in a wide and deep conspiracy. People need to die in prison.
