RussiaGate is now a complete dead letter - but ObamaGate is
taking its place. Just how far did the then-president go to
cripple his successor?

It’s now clear the Obama-Comey FBI and Justice Department never
had anything more substantial than the laughable fiction of the
Steele dossier to justify the “counterintelligence”
investigation of the Trump campaign. Yet incessant leaks from
that supposedly confidential probe wound up consuming the Trump administration’s first months in office — followed by the Bob
Mueller-led special-counsel investigation that proved nearly the
“total witch hunt” that President Trump dubbed it.

Information released as the Justice Department dropped its
charges against Gen. Mike Flynn shows that President Barack
Obama, in his final days in office, played a key role in fanning
the flames of phony scandal. Fully briefed on the “Crossfire
Hurricane” investigation, he knew the FBI had come up with
nothing despite months of work starting in July 2016.

Yet on Jan. 5, 2017, Obama told top officials who’d be staying
on in the new administration to keep the crucial facts from Team
Trump.

It happened at an Oval Office meeting with Vice President Joe
Biden, intel chiefs John Brennan and Jim Clapper and National
Security Adviser Susan Rice, as well as FBI Director Jim Comey
and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates.

“From a national-security perspective,” Rice’s memo afterward
put it, “President Obama said he wants to be sure that, as we
engage with the incoming team, we are mindful to ascertain if
there is any reason that we cannot share information fully as it
relates to Russia.”

This, even as then-President Obama also directed that as many
people as possible across his administration be briefed on the
(utterly unsubstantiated) allegations against Team Trump — and
as Rice and others took unprecedented steps to “unmask” US
citizens like Flynn whose conversations had been caught on
federal wiretaps of foreigners.

Indeed, the Obama administration went on a full-scale leak
offensive — handing The Washington Post, New York Times and
others a nonstop torrent of “anonymous” allegations of Trumpite
ties to Moscow. It suggested that the investigations were
finding a ton of treasonous dirt on Team Trump — when in fact
the investigators had come up dry.

Sadly, Comey’s FBI played along — sandbagging Flynn with the
“friendly” interview that later became the pretext for the bogus
charges dropped last week, as well as triggering the White House
chaos that led to his ouster. This, when the FBI had already
gone over the general with a fine-tooth comb, and concluded
that, no, he’d done nothing like collude with the Russians.

Meanwhile, Comey himself gave Trump an intentionally misleading
briefing on the Steele dossier. That was followed by leaks that
suggested the dossier was the tip of an iceberg, rather than a
pack of innuendo that hadn’t at all checked out under FBI
scrutiny.

Pulitzer Prizes were won for blaring utter fiction; the Trump
administration was kneecapped out of the gate. Innocents like
Flynn were bankrupted along the way.

Say this about Obama: He knows how to play dirty.

Kenyan-born Obama all set for US Senate

Kenyan-born US Senate hopeful, Barrack Obama, appeared set to
take over the Illinois Senate seat after his main rival, Jack
Ryan, dropped out of the race on Friday night amid a furor over
lurid sex club allegations.

The allegations that horrified fellow Republicans and caused his
once-promising candidacy to implode in four short days have
given Obama a clear lead as Republicans struggled to fetch an
alternative.

Ryan’s campaign began to crumble on Monday following the release
of embarrassing records from his divorce. In the records, his ex-
wife, Boston Public actress Jeri Ryan, said her former husband
took her to kinky sex clubs in Paris, New York and New Orleans.

"It’s clear to me that a vigorous debate on the issues most
likely could not take place if I remain in the race," Ryan, 44,
said in a statement. "What would take place, rather, is a
brutal, scorched-earth campaign – the kind of campaign that has
turned off so many voters, the kind of politics I refuse to
play."

Although Ryan disputed the allegations, saying he and his wife
went to one ‘avant-garde’ club in Paris and left because they
felt uncomfortable, lashed out at the media and said it was
"truly outrageous" that the Chicago Tribune got a judge to
unseal the records.

Down-low is an African American slang term[ that refers to a
subculture of men who usually identify themselves as
heterosexual, but who have sex with men; some avoid sharing this
information even if they have female sexual partner(s). The
term is also used to refer to a related sexual identity.

Firstly, I want to make clear that this article is in no way
making any disparaging comments towards the LGBT community.
This article is simply going to discuss the closeted activities
of a man who is probably denying who he really is for political
purposes.

The rumors about Obama‘s predilection for one-sided homosexual
contact or even full sexual contact has been discussed for many
years ever since his connection to several known Gay individuals
and even others who might also be on the down low themselves
such as Reverend Jeremiah Wright and current Chicago Mayor, Rahm
Emanuel.
