Investor’s Business Daily runs a
story which strongly suggests Obama was the force behind the “investigation” into Russian meddling (which was real) and its connections to the Trump campaign (which were not). They quote Obama’s Director of National Intelligence James Clapper speaking on
CNN:
If it weren't for President Obama we might not have done the intelligence community assessment that we did that set up a whole sequence of event which are still unfolding today, including Special Counsel (Robert) Mueller's investigation. President Obama is responsible for that. It was he who tasked us to do that intelligence community assessment in the first place.
IBD concludes there are two possibilities:
One, that a gullible Obama was fed phony information from Brennan and the Hillary Clinton campaign. He then over-reacted by tasking the intelligence community to look into it.
Or, two, that Obama knew he was dealing with tainted information. Instead of halting a bogus investigation, he let Brennan carry it forward. Why? He thought it would help elect Hillary Clinton — and cement his own presidential legacy for posterity.
Posing the choices as either (a) gullible or (b) evil is tough stuff.
