It seems unlikely Comey, Lynch, Strzok and McCabe acted without Obama’s knowledge and approval. As far as I am aware, documents showing POTUS involvement have not turned up. Can it be no one kept records or notes? I find it hard to credit this group of plotters with that much criminal cunning.Today, Fox News and other sources reveal the following from an email between FBI officials Strzok and Page:
Page wrote to Strzok on Sept. 2, 2016, about prepping Comey because "potus wants to know everything we're doing."Note well the date of that communication, two months before the defeat of Clinton by Trump. No question they believed Obama wanted to know, but unlikely they had direct contact.
Their sense Obama “wants to know” came from Comey, who could have exaggerated POTUS interest. Maybe it is time to check Comey’s emails to learn what he told them and Obama’s emails to see what he told Comey?
If the FBI found Clinton criminally negligent in handling of classified material, it was likely Obama was also guilty since he emailed her on what he knew to be her private server using a pseudonym. So of course he wanted to be sure she was exonerated.
Wisdom from Watergate and subsequent -gates: In Washington the cover-up is often more criminal than what was covered up.
