Obama Administration Blocked Comey From Revealing "Russian Tampering" Before Election
Zero Hedge ^ | 3/29/17 | "Tyler Durden"

Posted on 03/30/2017 2:29:44 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

The narrative of the "Russian hacking" of the US elections has been thrown for a loop following a report the Obama administration blocked FBI Director James Comey’s attempts to go public as early as the summer of 2016....

Team Obama did a couple things:

1. Wanted to present OPINION as FACT. They chose to coordinate release of that OPINION through various intelligence agencies.

2. Put a gag on the way the FBI director did his job.

Perhaps we will see some actual evidence this time.

I just sit here thinking about the FBI, NSA et al and what they were or were not doing with respect to this “Russia” thing with elections as real, or not - you decide.

I wonder about events like San Bernardino, Orlando and a dozen other places where crazy Muslims roamed free, apparently.

We’re told “the FBI was tracking.....” in so many instances yet the carnage still happened. I guess we’re supposed to be comforted that the frigging FBI (or somebody) had any free time at all what with all these ‘investigations’ they can’t/won’t/aren’t-allowed to talk about.

I don’t give one rip-roaring rat’s patootie about Russia and the elections. If the Democrats don’t care about millions of illegals voting, I sure as hell don’t care about their diversion. What they, the former administration, and their lackey intel organizations have done though is put us at risk on the things that matter - lives. They should all be shamed.

The democrats are obsessed with keeping this story in the news, but none of this hurts Trump at all.

Even if they find photographs of Trump and Putin discussing election strategy in a bathtub it’s unclear to me that this is a crime.

Think of it this way. If Trump decided to issue OPINION as an official intelligence report to media, the left and the media (but I repeat myself) would go ape.

Also, if Team Trump refused to allow the FBI director to EXPRESS his opinion, the media would attack Trump as a dictator.

The FBI has gone from being incredibly admired in the eyes of the public, to now being 2 steps above TSA agents.

China bought Clinton-Gore and there wasn’t this level of investigation (Com-Left wants Trump removed from office).

Russia bought Hitlery Clinton and there isn’t this level of concern. Mushmouthed figures claim Russia HATED Hitlery yet they gave her so much and she gave them Uranium. “Reset” anyone? More flexible after the 2012 election anyone?

When is the federal investigation into the media’s collusion with the DNC and Hillary campaign to steal the nomination from Bernie Sanders going to start?

Yeah. Bernie sure has been quiet except for his daily liberal outrages on Twitter.

BS, they’ve already said there is no connection, so now they advance the narrative that Obama stopped Comey from releasing information on this non-issue to keep it going.

This is why even before Trump we’ve had no faith in Intelligence agencies, since the 90’s.

No agency of competence could miss the outstanding corruption of the kick back Clintons.

They can’t even handle a couple of criminal IRS heads. Nor, mayors publically flouting defiance of federal law on sanctuary cities.

Now with Trump they want to be seen as bird dogs.

All of those different federal agencies that sprang up “resist” blogs and gave promises to oppose and thwart the Trump administration from within.

And now they sheepishly try to claim that there is no shadow government doing the work of Obamunists. Right.

to now being 2 steps above TSA agents.

And TSA agents are tied with Child molesters.

And this is what happens when you elect a candidate you know NOTHING about and the media fails the citizenry.

I think the Democrats are pushing this bogus story because of Iran. Russia has reappraised its relationship with Iran in light of all of the money that Obama gave it. The only way to re-isolate Iran and keep it from going nuclear would be for the US and Russia to collaborate on this project. Otherwise we will see Iran become the dominant power in the Middle East and possibly attack Israel as well as Saudi Arabia and other countries.

The Democrats hope to intimidate the Trump Administration from getting too close to Russia because any collaboration will be seized upon by the Democrats and MSM as evidence of a conspiracy.
