Valerie Jarrett and Barack Obama are Behind Spygate
Obama may claim a scandal-free administration, but after Fast and Furious, the targeting of the Tea Party by the IRS, the Benghazi cover-up, Hillary's emails, to name a few, Spygate is just the latest. I use the plural "occupants" because while Barack Hussein Obama may have been nominally the president of the United States, at the heart of every one of these scandals and virtually every administration move was Valerie Jarrett, who arguably could be considered our first female president.
Jarrett, born in Iran to American parents, has been with the Obamas since her days as deputy chief of staff in the office of Chicago mayor Richard Daley, the younger. She hired Michelle Obama, then Michelle Robinson, to fill an opening in the mayor's office. As WikiLeaks describes the beginning of a long relationship (citations omitted):
In 1991, as deputy chief of staff to Mayor Richard Daley, Jarrett interviewed Michelle Robinson for an opening in the mayor's office, after which she immediately offered Robinson the job. Michelle Robinson asked for time to think and also asked Jarrett to meet Robinson's fiancé, Barack Obama. The three ended up meeting for dinner. After the dinner, Michelle took the job with the mayor's office, and Valerie Jarrett reportedly took the couple under her wing and "introduced them to a wealthier and better-connected Chicago than their own." Jarrett later took Michelle with her when Jarrett left the mayor's office to head Chicago's Department of Planning and Development.The rest, as they say, is history. Not only did Valerie Jarrett become a mentor to the young Barack Obama, but she soon became what some have called Obama's Rasputin, someone who had more security than our personnel did in Benghazi.
She receives more protection than our Libyan ambassador, calls the president by his first name, dines and vacations with the First Family and had the power to call off three strikes against Osama bin Laden.
Ambassador Chris Stevens did not have a Marine detail in Benghazi, Libya. But White House senior adviser and Obama confidante Valerie Jarrett reportedly had a full Secret Service detail on vacation in Martha's Vineyard.
"Jarrett seems to have a 24-hour, around-the-clock detail, with five or six agents full time," Democratic pollster Pat Caddell said in an interview recently with Breitbart news. If Stevens had a similar escort, he'd probably be alive today. Such protection isn't usually available to senior advisers, but Jarrett is no ordinary adviser[.]
Indeed, she is not. She arguably has had more influence over Obama than anyone with the possible exception of

Four years later, alleged assault by Sheriff Israel's son becomes a news story...
One of the assailants was Broward Sheriff Scott Israel's son, Brett Israel, according to the incident report.
When the attack was reported to authorities, Brett Israel and the other 17-year-old, Anthony Broderick, were not arrested. They were suspended from the Parkland high school for three days based on the school's conclusion that they had committed a simple battery, and that the suspension was consistent with the Broward County School District's discipline "matrix."
The victim's parents approved the sanction, saying the suspension was the appropriate punishment and that any law enforcement action would have put their son through unnecessary trauma.
But then Nikolas Cruz took an assault rifle to the school on Feb. 14 of this year, and killed 17 students and educators, wounding 17 others.
The 2014 incident, long since forgotten, has emerged anew as copies of the report have circulated among parents and reporters for weeks. As a result, the incident has been published, first on a right-leaning news site, then on more traditional outlets.
Parents of some of the Feb. 14 victims, understandably upset with the Broward Sheriff's Office's response to the massacre — at least one deputy failed to enter the school even as Cruz pumped bullets into mortally wounded teens — are demanding that Israel and his son be held accountable, along with the deputy who wrote up the report of the assault. He is Scot Peterson, the same deputy who quit in disgrace after it was learned he never went inside the school to confront the shooter.
The sheriff's office is investigating — how the report got leaked.
A week ago, the hard-right website Gateway Pundit referenced the four-year-old report on the "brutal assault," and pointed out that the incident had been investigated by the in-school deputy. It asked: "Did Broward County Sheriff Israel's Son Get Special Treatment After Brutal School Crime?" The website then answered its own question: "It Sure Looks That Way."
WPLG Local 10 investigative reporter Bob Norman contacted the parents of several of Cruz's victims, and reported that they are demanding an investigation into...
Trump Spotlights 17 Americans Released From Overseas Prisons Since Beginning Of Administration
On Saturday night at the White House, President Trump welcomed Joshua Holt, the latest American detainee who was released from a Venezuelan prison after subsequent talks with Trump administration officials and his family.
Holt had been imprisoned in the South American country since the summer of 2016 after he traveled there to initially meet his future wife Thamara Candelo, but both were jailed on what human rights groups say were essentially made up charges. (RELATED: Trump Welcomes Home American Held Prisoner In Venezuela For Two Years)
“So we’ve had 17 prisoners released during the Trump administration. Most people don’t know that. You remember Aya. We called the President of Egypt, and he released her,” Trump said, referring to Aya Hijazi, the American aid worker released back in April 2017 from an Egyptian prison.
Trump continued, “She was there for a long time — three years. And the previous administration was unable to get her out. A fantastic young woman. And she was released. As you know, in North Korea, we just had a very great success. We have three wonderful people — Americans — that were released just recently. And they’re now home, safe with their families.”
He added, “And you were a tough one, I have to tell you. That was a tough situation. But we’ve had 17 released, and we’re very proud of that record. Very proud. And we have others coming. We’re in the midst of some very big negotiations to get others out. In most cases, they’re Americans, but we can try and help other countries too, where there’s injustice. So we’ve been working very hard on it.”
Holt’s release from Venezuela comes weeks after North Korea released three imprisoned Americans amid talks of a planned summit between both Koreas and the United States.
Since the death of Otto Warmbier, an American who was held hostage in North Korea, President Trump told Time Magazine in 2017 how he planned to deal with foreign nations who unjustly held American citizens in their prisons.
“The United States condemns hostage takers and nations that detain our citizens without just cause or due process. My Administration is greatly increasing efforts to bring home all Americans unjustly detained abroad,” he said, later adding that the difference between his administration and President Obama’s on this issue is that “We are aggressively pursuing the release of...
Giuliani Moves To Terminate Mueller Probe Due To Widespread Abuse Of Power Offenses By Obama Era Deep State Operatives
Via THE HILL:
Rudy Giuliani said Friday that the White House wants to know about details shared during a classified briefing for lawmakers this week on the origin of the FBI’s Russia probe, and may use the info to justify trying to shut down the special counsel investigation.
Giuliani, a member of President Trump’s personal legal team, told The Associated Press that the White House wants a readout of the information presented to lawmakers, particularly on the FBI’s use of Stefan Halper, an informant who reportedly contacted several advisers to Trump’s campaign during the 2016 election.
“If the spying was inappropriate, that means we may have an entirely illegitimate investigation,” Giuliani told the AP.
“Coupled with Comey’s illegally leaked memos, this means the whole thing was a mistake and should never have happened,” Giuliani continued. “We’d urge the Justice Department to re-evaluate, to acknowledge they made a mistake. It’s a waste of $20 million of the taxpayers’ money. The whole thing is already a waste of money.”
Currently, Mr. Trump’s strongest allies in Congress remain newer members while those in the highest leadership positions such as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and (outgoing) House Speaker Paul Ryan are pushing back against members seeking to aggressively go after those responsible for the anti-Trump Deep State operation. Some have suggested this is because those Congressional leaders are compromised – that the various U.S. intelligence agencies have information on all high-ranking members of Congress that go back decades.
In order for President Trump to really hold those responsible for the Russian collusion hoax accountable, he would have to bypass Congress. That would be far more possible if he had a more aggressive/determined Attorney General but to date, Jeff Sessions has done little to...
