Wall Street Journal questions Obama remarks in Flynn case: 'We wonder what he's really worried about'
The Hill ^ | 5/11/2020 | Joe Concha

Posted on 05/11/2020 1:27:39 PM PDT by Zenyatta

The Wall Street Journal's editorial board is asking why former President Obama commented on the Justice Department's decision to drop the case against former national security adviser Michael Flynn, asking "what he's really worried about."

"Barack Obama is a lawyer, so it was stunning to read that he ventured into the Michael Flynn case in a way that misstated the supposed crime and ignored the history of his own Administration in targeting Mr. Flynn," the editorial board wrote. "Since the former President chose to offer his legal views when he didn’t need to, we wonder what he’s really worried about."

“How dirty is Obama?” Americans know that regarding the ‘Russian Collusion’ fraud Obama is guilty, the only question now is “How guilty?”

“Barack Obama is a lawyer....”

Maybe a lawyer, but not a licensed one. He and Moo both had to surrender their law licenses for misconduct or fraud ... hard to tell exactly because of the coverup silence by the licensing board.

“Lawyer?”

I doubt the lazy, jug-eared, fly-faced, mullato ever studied a day in his life towards a law degree.

Everyone will be so excited on what we can “get” Obama for.

While I sit at home remembering we couldn’t “get” anything on Andrew McCabe, who is drawing his pension and a gig at CNN.

“Barack Obama is a lawyer, so it was stunning to read...”

I have asked repeatedly for any evidence of his legal work/writings. Any turned up in the decade+ that he’s been a plague?

What the Big Zero is worried about is that Clapper, Brennan, Lynch, etc. are likely to be charged with crimes and asked to flip on the Big Zero for lesser jail time.

He has a lot of skeletons in his closet and should be very worried that the people who know them, are going to try to save themselves.

McCabe made sure he got rid of the two people that would have foiled his plot. Flynn was a seasoned intelligence professional at the highest level, with contacts and in depth knowledge of the NSA. You can’t go after the POTUS with Flynn as National Security Advisor. Then Sessions, who would have directly oversaw the Special Counsel, including the scope memo that allowed the SC to target Flynn. Sessions could have ruined the plot.

And wouldn’t you know it, the common thread between the destruction of both Flynn and Sessions was Russian Ambassador to the USA, Sergey Kislyak. Was Kislyak a conspirator or a useful idiot? Russian Ambassador, Russian Dossier, Russian Intel offering Trump staffers “dirt on Hillary”. Who were the Russians working with? Not Trump...

I thought the answer to that question was well known.

He doesn’t like the idea of being accused of treason. It’s not good for book sales and reduces the number of available lucrative personal appearances. And even worse, the highly favorable treatment in new business deals will certainly decline in number.

I guess I should call up Mr. and Mrs. W S Journal and explain it to them.

He’s not worried about anything.
I’ve been told many times that it’s no big deal that both parties directly violated the Constitution by allowing him to be sworn in, despite the fact that he is not a natural born citizen.

I don’t think Obama is worried so much as he was sending Judve Emmet Sullivan a message.

Interesting. I said it was distraction this morning when I posted this same article before Rushs' show:

“Barack Obama is a lawyer.” Was a layer. His recent comments prove that he is not a lawyer and does not understand the value of law.

When did Obama actually practice law and represent clients? Ever?

Obola was a lawyer? When? Where? How many cases did he win? How many cases did he ever handle?

Nothing Obama did was ever vetted because of his skin color. We still need to investigate the uranium selling done by Obama, Clinton and Biden.

Simple :

CONSPIRACY TO COVER UP TREASON IS TREASON.

Remember Watergate was REALLY about the COVERUP.

Orange Jumpsuit Soon For Obama.

“I don’t think Obama is worried so much as he was sending Judve Emmet Sullivan a message.”
***************************************************
And ‘RAT appointed Judge Sullivan then decides to, in essence, seek out his own Prosecutor when DOJ rightfully decides to withdraw a bogus prosecution and asks charges to be withdrawn.
