Nothing more I would enjoy than seeing a government led by Americans looking out for Americans such as Trump. I'm just not going to hold my breath that we ever actually see any memorable perp walks. I haven't followed this development, but it does seem quite juicy.
"We're probably the first administration in modern history that hasn't had a major scandal TO BE COMPLETELY IGNORED BY OUR DNC PROPAGANDA NETWORKS in the White House." ~ Barack Hussein Obama
While good in the sense it will expose corruption, it is still shitty to think so many Americans were brainwashed into voting for the worthless "community organizer." Chicago is a shithole.
It does if you drink bleach and shove a UV bulb up your ass at the same time! I tried it and felt a lot better afterwards. Then I saw the bulb wasn't plugged in so IDK
I bought to the chew soap until he voted to extend the Patriot Act after claiming to be against it in the primaries. I was paying attention and wanted legitimate change though. I can easily see hoe his bs could be overseen.
Most sane people learn from mistakes. Better get this lesson out of the way so they can grow as people. The decent ones will learn, the rest well they'll probably donate their rent money to Sanders in 4 years yet again
One can hope. I want to see some people brought up on charges of Treason. If what happened doesn't qualify, what does? There needs to be ramifications for all of this bullshit, no protection for elected officials or the intelligence community.
Remember when the CIA was forced to testify in front of Congress to the extent where they unveiled their "heart attack" gun? No more excuses about national security, these people are the real threats to national security. It can't be used as an umbrella blanket / get out of jail free card. /endrant
I'll risk the down votes and point out that the idea, even for someone as slimy as Obama, the idea of giving an ex president of the United States over to a foreign power for prosecution is almost certainly a horrible idea. Sauce... Goose.... Gander.
If he is to be prosecuted, we should do it here, or in his home country of kenya.
Mexican President Calls For Investigation Into Disgraced Former US President Barack Obama's Fast And Furious Scandal One Day After #ObamaGate Trends Over 3 Million On Twitter
-The NYT front page in a world where they're journalism.
Can we find out why his Occidental and Columbia records are sealed too? Where was he really when he was supposed to be a Columbia student? Has anyone ever asked him if he has ever worked for/with the CIA?
Copied from a different user/post on the site before this one:
Brace yourselves, this is going to be a wall of text, with a lot of supporting articles and videos.
The reason that they thought this was a good idea was because they had an ulterior motive of getting the Assault Weapons Ban (AWB) renewed in the US. Guns going to Mexico was merely the stalking horse used to achieve this. This was a coordinated, in depth, multipronged campaign aimed towards getting that one goal accomplished, with the US press more than willing to help them, both in building the case, and helping minimize the aftermath.
Let's go back in time to just after the 2008 Presidential Election - Clinton was named Secretary of State, and Holder was named Attorney General.
At the same time, the ATF released "trace data" showing that America was supplying the majority of weapons turned in for tracing to the ATF. The press made a big deal about this, though it later turned out that the numbers were fudged - even FactCheck got involved and there's several articles at the bottom of that showing how much this was in the news. Politifact also evaulated the claim and found it half true
The NRA wasn't going to let this slide and made their displeasure known - every time the administration made a statement about guns, their predictions were proven right.
In hindsight, and viewing the greater picture starting from just after the election, the macabre goals become clear: The more deaths, the more ammunition the administration had to push for additional gun control.
Thousands of guns were lost, and nobody gave a shit until Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry got killed in December 2010. Shortly after his shooting, the ATF traced the gun; it turned out that it was from the F&F operation. This sent shockwaves up the chain of command. The administration shit themselves and tried everything possible to mislead, misdirect, and cover up what had happened, and (at the time) largely got away with it. Concerned about how it was handled, a number of ATF agents went on CleanupATF.org and posted about F&F anonymously. This started the ball rolling; as word spread people wanted answers for how he was killed and where the gun came from.
Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, is investigating Fast and Furious, as well as the alleged use of the case to advance gun regulations. "There's plenty of evidence showing that this administration planned to use the tragedies of Fast and Furious as rationale to further their goals of a long gun reporting requirement. But, we've learned from our investigation that reporting multiple long gun sales would do nothing to stop the flow of firearms to known straw purchasers because many Federal Firearms Dealers are already voluntarily reporting suspicious transactions. It's pretty clear that the problem isn't lack of burdensome reporting requirements."
Edit: In a last ditch effort, Obama cited executive privilege and hid 15,000 documents from Issa's investigation. Anyone raising a stink about this was ignored.
Once the President was reelected, it no longer mattered, and slid completely off the radar.
I don't remember exactly, but IIRC nobody involved lost their job over this. Certainly nobody responsible went to jail. Many of those involved were transferred and then promoted, but ultimately nothing was done.
American liberals will be the last group of people on the planet to understand the gravity of the crimes committed by 0bama and his crew. The entire world will know and accept it well ahead of the American left. The American left has been thoroughly demoralized by the constant communist propaganda they have been fed via the corporate media and academic establishment for their entire existence.
Nice. Let the investigations continue and send these sad sacks up for judgment from one of the couple of hundred Trump has appointed. Don't let them off the hook this time.
My absolute favorite news of the day. Kek.
Y'all realize that this will deliver the majority of Latino voters to Trump, yes? Most Mexicans in the US are still very connected to their home country. If Mexico delivers, the dominos will fall - er - FAST AND FURIOUS!! kek
Barr did say to watch out for indictments in early Spring of 2020, before the WuFlu. Solid cases take time to build to ensure a successful prosecution. These corrupt actors had safeguards in place to avoid detection, you are just finding out now because like another pede stated so eloquently, this is just the tip of the iceberg.
He never said indictments he just said he expects Durham to wrap up around now. From what I can tell they were waiting on Flynn to be exonerated before unleashing. Next few weeks and months will be interesting.
IMO fast and furious was a plot to spread chaos within Mexico and push more people over the southern border into the United States and accelerate demographic change.
This is just the tip of the iceberg.
This will be an interesting year, a real life House of Cards scenario. Let's hope to see prosecutions soon.
I'm buying stock in Conagra, because popcorn sales will be through the roof this year!
Here's an article about this somebody posted the other day:

"We're probably the first administration in modern history that hasn't had a major scandal TO BE COMPLETELY IGNORED BY OUR DNC PROPAGANDA NETWORKS in the White House." ~ Barack Hussein Obama
Didn't he also add, "That embarrassed us" ? or something to that effect? There were definitely weasel words employed
Someone needs to tell Obama that just because the media protects him doesn't mean it isn't a scandal. His entire presidency was full of scandals
My definition of a scandal isn't that CNN has it to call it one first
It's illegal to call it a scandal until we at CNN say it is. Didn't you know this?
Everything you’re leading about scandals is coming from us
And fucking every American's rights.
And apologizing for our country.
Fueling the cartel wars was a huge mistake!
If international governments start coming after Obama's "scandal-free" administration...wew lad.
While good in the sense it will expose corruption, it is still shitty to think so many Americans were brainwashed into voting for the worthless "community organizer." Chicago is a shithole.
100% but we can't change the past. Now is time for sunlight and disinfectant, it'll be painful but it must be done.

You mean like UV light and disinfectant, like maybe an injection?

Pretty sure that was the terror attack at the Eagles of Death show at the Bataclan nightclub.
Benghazi terrorists may have used the small arms that obama was smuggling to the Libya.
A three-letter agency mistake
Did Fox even cover it?

I have questions!
Isn't ALMO a part of the swamp rats?
can't wait to see how all my america-hating, mexico-loving friends are going to feel about this.
They will ignore it.

Guns going to Mexico was merely the stalking horse used to achieve this. This was a coordinated, in depth, multipronged campaign aimed towards getting that one goal accomplished, with the US press more than willing to help them, both in building the case, and helping minimize the aftermath.
Let's go back in time to just after the 2008 Presidential Election - Clinton was named Secretary of State, and Holder was named Attorney General.
In February 2009, Holder stated in an interview that the President was seeking to have the AWB renewed.
In March, Clinton went to Mexico and made noises about how US weapons flowing into Mexico were fueling violence.
In April, President Obama and Mexican President Calderon appeared together and stated outright that the assault weapons ban should be renewed.
At the same time, the ATF released "trace data" showing that America was supplying the majority of weapons turned in for tracing to the ATF. The press made a big deal about this, though it later turned out that the numbers were fudged - even FactCheck got involved and there's several articles at the bottom of that showing how much this was in the news. Politifact also evaulated the claim and found it half true
The public wasn't having it. Polls showed that fewer Americans supported stricter gun control than ever Congress wasn't particularly interested in sticking their necks out either - they remembered what happened the last time the AWB was passed; the Republicans took control just 7 weeks later.
The NRA wasn't going to let this slide and made their displeasure known - every time the administration made a statement about guns, their predictions were proven right.
In May, Calderon appeared before a joint session of Congress urging a renewal of the AWB.
Things were going on behind the scenes in June:
This went on throughout the summer and into fall withthe press providing articles trying to help the administration build the case. In October, the US announced that it would support a UN treaty to regulate the arms trade, a reversal of previous positions.
About this time, Operation Fast and Furious started. The objectives were clear - let as many guns into Mexico as possible and sit back and watch what happened. John Dodson later testified to Congress that for 10 months agents were told to stand down, and just watch straw purchasers buy firearms over and over again. He & his colleagues were directed by supervisors not to make arrests or interdict the weapons - even though they would show up at crime scenes days later. "Allowing loads of weapons that we knew to be destined for criminals [to walk] was the plan. This was the mandate." He testified that prior to this he had never heard of an operation that would "just let the guns walk" and when raising concerns he and his coworkers were told that they simply "did not understand the plan." Summing up, he stated "I can not begin to think of how the risk of letting guns fall into the hands of known criminals could possibly advance any legitimate law enforcement interest." The result was lots and lots of bodies, hundreds in Mexico alone.
In hindsight, and viewing the greater picture starting from just after the election, the macabre goals become clear: The more deaths, the more ammunition the administration had to push for additional gun control.
Thousands of guns were lost, and nobody gave a shit until Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry got killed in December 2010. Shortly after his shooting, the ATF traced the gun; it turned out that it was from the F&F operation. This sent shockwaves up the chain of command. The administration shit themselves and tried everything possible to mislead, misdirect, and cover up what had happened, and (at the time) largely got away with it. Concerned about how it was handled, a number of ATF agents went on CleanupATF.org and posted about F&F anonymously. This started the ball rolling; as word spread people wanted answers for how he was killed and where the gun came from.
Issa started an investigation. Surprisingly, one of the ATF Agents involved in the Fast and Furious was also WTF about the directives he was given and wound up getting crucified by the agency when he blew the whistle to Congress. Here's part I of the F&F report, and it goes into detail about how it was a complete clusterfuck. The administration also stonewalled, slow rolled and delayed documents from the investigation to the point where Holder was held in contempt of congress for failing to turn over subpeonad materials.
Internal ATF emails showed agents shopping for anecdotal stories to help build a case for "Demand Letter 3" - multiple long gun reporting, but this as sole justification for the operation falls flat.
The Terry killing completely sidelined gun control efforts from that point on; the Administration was in CYA mode and hid what had happened so successfully that when Gabby Giffords was shot at a rally the following month (January 2011), gun control groups and the press both wondered why the President wasn't taking steps about gun control. We now know that they were trying to manage the F&F fallout.
Everything possible was done to shield the administration from blame and criticism. Holder blamed Bush, trying to link the Wide Receiver Operation (that ended 18 months prior to F&F) to his failed operation. President Obama stated that F&F was a continuation of Wide Receiver during a Univision interview - Politifact rated this as false, but this lie continued to be repeated. In one of the most disgusting excuses for journalism I've seen, Katherine Eban wrote up a hit piece in Fortune that completely absolved the ATF & administration of any wrongdoing, pretending the gun walking wasn't intentional, casting Issa as a villian for investigating, and blatantly attacking the character of the whistleblower. This article was heralded far and wide as proof that nothing untoward had happened - this was debunked in detail but the damage had been done and little attention was paid in the run up to the election.
Edit: In a last ditch effort, Obama cited executive privilege and hid 15,000 documents from Issa's investigation. Anyone raising a stink about this was ignored.

Swamp being swampy. What else is new?
impressive length, pede
muh scandal free if if if if
Anybody remember that oil deal we made with Mexico like a whole two weeks ago? LOLOL
They will be investigating the Obama years for decades
isnt this when the Obama AG Eric Holder was summoned by congress, refused to go, and was held in contempt?
It's pile on Obama Day.
Let's keep this up all week folks.
imagine Trump and Obrador taking down obama. LMFAO. the libs heads are gonna explode
if Democrats like Mexico so much, how come they armed terrorist drug lords in their own country?
That seems like something the CIA would do to a country it wanted to destabilize, not something a national ally would do to a close trade partner.
Three letter agencies are pillars of the deep state. Barry is a deep state puppet. He will do as he is told.
here comes the pain
The start of a new US-Mexico alliance against corruption and the cartels? One can dream. We just might turn the Rambo Trump meme into reality.
The Mexican president is a raci...wait, will that still work here?
The metal gymastics from the media will be worthy of an Olympic gold.
Oh who am I kidding, the media will hardly cover this.
and they promoted ....tracing
and with the Rona they are promoting ...tracing silicon valley tech, we see you
Has CARLOS SLIM started the media disinformation campaign yet?

On good. Let's crack that back open. Scandal less my ass.
meanwhile at soros society of evil hq
Fuck, he's getting closer what do we do.
Maybe we can distract them with the area 51 footage
We tried that, didn't work
Maybe we kill a popular celebrity, that always distracts people?
No, we are out of likable celebrities
Dammit, ok ok. New plan find a way to infect the president. He can't work from home and that gives us more time.
I have just the person working at CNN.
"Drumpf was racist at the press briefing"
"Drumpf is attacking Obama because he is a racist!"

ATF was involved as well. ABOLISH THE ATF! Worthless organization that simply ruins Americans lives. Unconstitutional group of bottom feeding scum.

Popcorn ready!
The timing is just coincidence.
WTF? why did ALMO do this if he's more of swamp figure?
Not mad though!
I bet Schiff gets another phony "whistleblower" to say Trump forced him to announce this.
Bathhouse Barry, what did you know, and when did you know it? And dont say you saw it on the news. We've heard that one before.
Why are the floodgates opening now?
