| Obama formally endorses Clinton for president |
| 2016-06-10 |
| [Dhaka Tribune] US President Barack Obama formally endorsed fellow Democrat Hillary Clinton for president on Thursday, describing himself as eager to get out and campaign for her, days after she gained the delegates needed to secure the party's White House nomination. One would think that the first presidential candidate to be the principal of a lengthy FBI investigation in the run-up to a national election might justify caution and pause, but no, political ideology trumps the hand of justice. |

| #8 E mails implicate O. Hillary has him over a barrel. Correspondence occurred. The fix is in. They will never drag O down. The FBI will be forced to make a sacrifice within their department at most. |

| #7 So Obean endorses Hillary and then he later meets with Bernie Sanders and also meets with Loretta Lynch of DOJ. Shortly after endorsing Hillary Clinton, Josh Ernest, the WH Press Secretary goes to the podium and says the FBI email investigation is a criminal investigation. Meanwhile, the few dribs and drabs that have appeared in the press suggest the email fiasco is far worse than people thought. Is Obean trying to protect his backside? |

| #3 Or consider the case of Al Sharpton's delinquent taxes. |

| #2 Consider the case of fellow Democrat poltician Alcee Hastings? Impeached Judge and "Representative for Life" in a safe district. |

| #1 political ideology trumps the hand of justice. It's not political ideology. It's desire for the use of the apparatus of state to guarantee money and status. Most of the people who will vote for Hillary Clinton are apolitical, they just have the ability to see which side their bread is buttered on. |
