Obama will go down in history as the most corrupt POTUS in history, edging out U.S. Grant

quote:

President Trump might be openly hostile to the mainstream media, but it was the Obama administration that was engaged in a widespread effort to thwart the media. Which do you think is more harmful to a free press?

The full extent of Obama’s actions against the press are only now coming to light.

The Columbia Journalism Review reports on a newly released government document showing that the Obama Justice Department engaged in a far more sweeping effort to spy on the Associated Press than previously believed.

“In 2013, the Justice Department launched a brazen attack on press freedom,” the CJR notes, “issuing sweeping subpoenas for the phone records of The Associated Press and several of its reporters and editors as part of a leak investigation. At the time, the subpoenas were widely seen as a massive intrusion into newsgathering operations. Last month, we learned that they told only part of the story.”

Just ask Sharyl Attkisson and James Rosen Rosen.
Rosen Rosen’s parents were shook down by Hussein’s thugs.

Comrade Obama just did whatever he wanted, because he thought no one would do anything about it. He might be right.

He didn’t expect Donald j Trump to follow his feet into the Oval Office. Rest assured Obama is a scared man these days. He knows what is coming out.

The sad part is this is old news, but never was “news” because Mainstream Media refuses to chase it down

Obama did it. Therefore it must have been the proper thing to do. One is not supposed to question god (Obama), because he works in mysterious ways.

And they call Trump a dictator.

We've never had a dictator like Obama because the press wouldn't touch him, that's the definition of a dictator.

While with Trump, 99% of the press is all over his arse 24/7.

Lib media plus Dems plus PC culture created an untouchable despot. You couldn't say a bad thing about the guy without being punished by the media. It's like he was Saddam Huessen...and no Iraqi could criticize him.

Press wouldn't touch him for 2 reasons:

1, birds of a feather, ideological

2, race and Obammy knew it and played it to the max

He had a get-out-of-jail-free card that he was born with. And he milked it for everything it was worth.

Yet the cowering press community said nothing!

When Rosen and his family were spied on, wiretapped, and threatened, the cowering press community said nothing!

When Attkisson's home and private computer were invaded, surveilled, and potentially incriminating evidence implanted, the cowering press community said nothing!

Why?

Because if the cowering press community said something, it could have led to a (-GASP!-) Rebub being elected.

It is the same identical motive driving the year-long kowtows to the Creepy Porn Lawyer. They KNEW he was dirty. They KNEW his TV personna was contrived and phony. They KNEW it, because he was that way behind the scenes. Yet they said nothing of it. Not one word.

Why?

Because if the cowering press community said something, it could have led to a (-GASP!-) Rebub being advantaged.

The press willingly sacrificed its credibility on the hope of electing Democrats.

no surprise, ALL of his crimes are far more extensive than anyone could ever imagine and have been going on longer than anyone is willing to admit.

everyone knows about the Soetoro’s 2012 election contingency, right?

I mean, how many truly believe he got a second term without cheating? LINK /

The MSM should be at record level furious about what the Obama admin did. This should make Watergate look like a parking ticket. But they won’t get angry at all, and they won’t do their jobs and investigate, because their overlords were the ones doing it to them.
