[National Review] A review of weekend news coverage and commentary shows that mainstream media have gone into full "Protect Obama" mode.
Evidence released last week — including, but not limited to, House Intelligence Committee transcripts showing that multiple top-level Obama administration officials were lying to the public for three years about Russian collusion — indicates that former president Barack Obama wasn’t merely aware of what was going on; he was hip-deep in what increasingly appears to be one of the greatest political scandals in American history.
For other than the most sycophantic and credulous media personalities, Obama’s involvement isn’t much of a surprise. The August 5, 2016 email from Peter Strzok to Lisa Page stating, "the White House is running this," followed by the September 2016 Page text to Strzok stating, "POTUS wants to know everything we’re doing" suggested the obvious: An operation targeting a presidential campaign and then an incoming presidential administration isn’t a mere freelance effort cooked up by a few rogue FBI personnel in their spare time. An operation of that magnitude and import must be blessed from the very top.
Indeed, the January 5, 2017 White House meeting with President Obama, vice president Joe Biden, FBI director James Comey, deputy attorney general Sally Yates, director of national intelligence James Clapper, CIA director John Brennan, and national security adviser Susan Rice (which meeting was the subject of Rice’s mother-of-all C.Y.A. emails to herself on Inauguration Day) suggests that Obama wasn’t merely kept informed of the Russia collusion fraud, he was providing direction.
Notwithstanding the IRS targeting of politically disfavored citizens, Fast and Furious gunrunning, the VA debacle, Benghazi, surveillance of reporters, and other scandals, an adoring mainstream press consistently parrots Obama’s risible claim that his administration was scandal-free. But the Russia-collusion hoax dwarfs all the other Obama scandals and malfeasance combined.
Obama knows this. So do the media. They also know most of Obama’s "achievements" haven’t even survived Trump’s first term. The media-enabled fiction of a scandal-free administration is nearly all that remains of the Obama legacy. So it must be maintained. After all, he’s progressives’ Lightworker. He validates their pieties, conceits, and presumptions.
That’s why we’re about to experience media prevarication, deflection, omission, and misrepresentation on a scale never before witnessed in political news coverage — even eclipsing that of the last three years. Obama must be protected, facts be damned. And if they spin furiously enough, they might even be rewarded with a Pulitzer.

The degree of media spin is directly proportional to the degree of fear. They know their boy is busted; so does he. Time to put the pedal to the metal.

A good Judge knows the law; a great Judge knows justice; a corrupt Judge knows Obama.

Any different than cops who arrest or take the camera/phone of a citizen who records their actions in public? Its been in federal court, the citizen the right as long as they are not interfering with the police (who still go to absurd lengths to make the claim interference when the photographer is many yards away or even across the street).
[Red State] - Imagine; a manufacturer of parachutes says that its latest product is to be deployed above 2500ft AGL and that from 2000ft — 1000ft, it has a rapidly decreasing to minimal capacity to alter any outcome. But when the company goes to get its product certified, the testing body decides to only test it at 1200ft, and announces, to much fanfare, that the company’s parachutes don’t work.
That’s consistently what’s been going on with the H/CQ trials we’ve been seeing — for some reason, every major trial of the drug in isolation or combination with Azithromycin and/or Zinc has been in hospitals with severely ill patients.
Thousands of doctors across the world, including in the United States, are reporting great results in treating their COVID-19 patients with the Hydroxychloroquine/Chloroquine (H/CQ) + Azithromycin† (with Zinc) drug regimen, especially when given early. Entire nations; Honduras, Australia, Senegal, Peru, India, Spain, Portugal, Algeria, Italy, etc. have recommended or liberalized the early prescription of H/CQ + Azithromycin for their at-risk COVID-19 patients and have subsequently seen their mortality and infection rates collapse drastically.
†Some doctors substitute Doxycycline for Azithromycin because it’s easier on the heart.
In all cases, the consensus is to give this drug cocktail early, at the onset of symptoms for best results because by the time it gets severe, it is practically useless — there’s no drug cocktail that can repair damaged lungs. In fact, the entire aim is actually to prevent the damage to the lungs. The love of Mammon is the source of all evil?
[National Review] There’s no reason to ignore the mounting evidence that Obama administration officials were corrupt in their handling of the Trump—Russia investigation.
Those sharing #Obamagate hashtags on Twitter would do best to avoid the hysterics we saw from Russian-collusion believers, but they have no reason to ignore the mounting evidence that suggests the Obama administration engaged in serious corruption.
Democrats and their allies, who like to pretend that President Obama’s only scandalous act was wearing a tan suit, are going spend the next few months gaslighting the public by focusing on the most feverish accusations against Obama. But the fact is that we already have more compelling evidence that the Obama administration engaged in misconduct than we ever did for opening the Russian-collusion investigation.
It is not conspiracy-mongering to note that the investigation into Trump was predicated on an opposition-research document filled with fabulism and, most likely, Russian disinformation. We know the DOJ withheld contradictory evidence when it began spying on those in Trump’s orbit. We have proof that many of the relevant FISA-warrant applications — almost every one of them, actually — were based on "fabricated" evidence or riddled with errors. We know that members of the Obama administration, who had no genuine role in counterintelligence operations, repeatedly unmasked Trump’s allies. And we now know that, despite a dearth of evidence, the FBI railroaded Michael Flynn into a guilty plea so it could keep the investigation going.
What’s more, the larger context only makes all of these facts more damning. By 2016, the Obama administration’s intelligence community had normalized domestic spying. Obama’s director of national intelligence, James Clapper, famously lied about snooping on American citizens to Congress. His CIA director, John Brennan, oversaw an agency that felt comfortable spying on the Senate, with at least five of his underlings breaking into congressional computer files. His attorney general, Eric Holder, invoked the Espionage Act to spy on a Fox News journalist, shopping his case to three judges until he found one who let him name the reporter as a co-conspirator. The Obama administration also spied on Associated Press reporters, which the news organization called a "massive and unprecedented intrusion." And though it’s been long forgotten, Obama officials were caught monitoring the conversations of members of Congress who opposed the Iran nuclear deal.
A president and the heads of FBI, CIA and NSA engaged in a massive, multi-year, multi-pronged approach to spy on, harass, and railroad the president's political opponents.
When those efforts failed, the outgoing president set a series of traps that would undermine his newly-elected successor and prevent him from governing.
There is no scandal in this nation's history that even comes close to what Obama and his conspirators did. It's not quite accurate to say that they seized power or expanded their power. Their goal was not to govern but to prevent others from governing.
They nullified the people's choice. They did their level best, through every trick and ruse and lever at their disposal, and to destroy self-government in America.
We're not at war yet, but this crisis is certainly as big as the crisis the nation faced in the winter of 1860-61. Thus cannot be allowed to stand.
Obama and his fellow conspirators need to go to prison for their efforts to destroy American self-government. This is treason by any other name.

Well, I understand the sentiment, but in my situation I put in 36 years, retiring as Senior Bridge Engineer/Deputy City Engineer. You want a new hire taking my place after my first five years? Good luck with that.

[Breitbart] A new study has identified nearly 100 Hollywood figures who smeared Brett Kavanaugh but who have either remained silent on or have defended Joe Biden, who has been accused by Tara Reade of sexually assaulting her nearly three decades ago.
In some cases, #MeToo celebrities have actively sought to discredit Reade by implying that she is a liar or a Russian asset.
The industry hypocrisy is catalogued in a new Newsbusters study that singles out stars including Alyssa Milano, Debra Messing, Jimmy Kimmel, and Patricia Arquette. In all, the study identified 95 entertainment industry figures who appear to have a double standard when it comes to the #MeToo movement.
The study also highlights Time’s Up advocates including Jessica Chastain, Brie Larson, Natalie Portman, and Julianne Moore who have not publicly commented on the allegations against Biden. But these A-list actresses voiced support for Christine Blasey Ford and her accusations against Kavanaugh.
