McConnell Rips Obama to Shreds, "Should Have Kept His Mouth Shut"
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell just ripped former President Obama for criticizing President Trump’s coronavirus response.
McConnell said that Obama should have kept his mouth shut and that he has zero class.
“I think President Obama should have kept his mouth shut. We know he doesn’t like much this administration’s been doing. That’s understandable. But I think it’s a little bit classless, frankly, to critique an administration that comes after you. You had your shot, you were there for eight years. I think that the tradition that the Bushes set up of not critiquing the president who comes after you is a good tradition.”
Watch via Team Trump:
McConnell is absolutely right.
Former President Obama has no class at all and he should have kept his mouth shutGiven what we are learning about the Michael Flynn setup Obama would be better served...
RussiaGate Collapses: CrowdStrike Admits 'No Evidence' Russia Stole Emails From DNC Servers
Fox News' Tucker Carlson and The Grayzone's Aaron Mate on Monday broke down new evidence released by the Department of Justice exposing RussiaGate as a farce.
Mate broke down newly released testimony from CrowdStrike president Shawn Henry admitting behind closed doors before House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) that "we did not have concrete evidence" that Russian hackers stole emails from the DNC's servers.
WATCH:
More from Crowdstrike's Shaun Henry: "There are times when we can see data exfiltrated, and we can say conclusively. But in this case it appears it was set up to be exfiltrated, but we just don’t have the evidence that says it actually left." (intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/…)

Henry: "Sir, I was just trying to be factually accurate, that we didn't see the data leave, but we believe it left, based on what we saw."

As Mate noted, the DOJ in March quietly dropped their case against the Russian "troll farm" Robert Mueller accused of meddling in the 2016 election.
Tucker Carlson reported on new documents showing how former national security advisor Susan Rice said Obama discussed denying classified evidence to the incoming Trump White House with James Comey.
WATCH:
From Fox News:
Tucker Carlson opened Monday's edition of "Tucker Carlson Tonight." by criticizing former President Barack Obama for his role in the Russia investigation, accusing him of using "federal law enforcement to hurt his political enemies."
"The president of the United States turned to the head of the FBI, the most powerful law enforcement official in America, and said, 'Continue to secretly investigate my chief political rival so that I can act against him.' [Then-FBI Director James] Comey's response? 'Yes, sir,'" Carlson said. "That's what Obama was saying, openly.
"In any normal period in American history, this exchange would define Barack Obama forever," Carlson continued. "Obama would be known as the disgraced...
Is Obama’s Long History of Playing Dirty Finally Catching Up With Him?
The unraveling of the Michael Flynn case and ongoing investigation into Obama’s Justice Department should put an end to the preposterous claim that his administration was “scandal-free.”
As it became clear Mitt Romney would be the Republican presidential nominee in 2012, the Obama campaign fired up its Chicago-style machine to attack the incumbent president’s election foe. Team Obama identified several Romney donors to smear publicly; one was a wealthy businessman from Idaho.
A former Democratic Senate staffer, according to a 2012 editorial in the Wall Street Journal, contacted an Idaho courthouse seeking the divorce records of Frank VanderSloot, who had donated $1 million to Romney’s campaign. The operative was traced to a professional opposition research shop based in Washington, D.C.
The name of the outfit? Fusion GPS. “Fusion GPS is run by a former Wall Street Journal reporter, Glenn Simpson, who wouldn’t say who is paying him for this high-minded slumming but said in an email that Mr. VanderSloot was a ‘legitimate’ target because of ‘his record on gay issues,’” the Journal wrote.
As we now know, that would not be the last time Obama loyalists would hire Fusion GPS to oversee its dirt-digging operation. Nor was it the first time Obama sought to unseal divorce records to ruin a political opponent.
Obama’s pathway to winning the Illinois U.S. Senate seat in 2004 was cleared after divorce records of his Democratic primary opponent, who had been in the lead, were made public just weeks before the election. After Obama won the primary, the Chicago Tribune sued to get the divorce settlement of Jack Ryan, Obama’s Republican opponent, unsealed. (Many suspect at the behest of Obama advisor and longtime Tribune columnist David Axelrod.) Embarrassing details sank Ryan’s candidacy and he dropped out of the race. Obama won the seat with 70 percent of the vote.
No one wins the presidency without using hardball tactics to get there. Barack Obama is a special case, however, because the media not only covered for him but aided his scorched-earth tactics while he alternated between feigning either innocence or ignorance. This lasted during his two presidential campaigns and eight years in the White House.
The same pattern has been playing out the last four years. In May 2016, the Democrats hired Fusion GPS again to destroy Barack Obama’s rival, Donald Trump. But this time, the artillery would involve the world’s most powerful law enforcement agency, a secret court, and the full complicity of the national news media.
And as the biggest scandal in American political history has unfolded, Obama’s media accomplices have denied, excused, and/or justified his involvement while desperately creating other scandals to serve as diversions. To date, the former president has not faced one question about what he knew and when he knew it. His vice president, safely bunkered in his home studio away from uninvited media scrutiny, is enjoying the same protection despite Joe Biden’s known participation in the Trump-Russia collusion ruse.
Obama’s unmatched political good luck, however, might finally have run out. Fox News Channel’s Ed Henry reported that acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell delivered more secret documents to the Justice Department last week that could prove “Barack Obama knew about...
Senators Ask Obama Officials, Including Biden: ‘Why did you unmask Flynn and what did you do with it?
Sixteen top Obama administration officials – including Vice President Joe Biden – requested information to ‘unmask’ the identity of retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn during the presidential transition period, according to the declassified list given to two top GOP Senators from Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell.
Former United Nations Ambassador Samantha Power, however, appeared to have the most requests for Flynn’s information from November 30, 2016 until Jan. 11, 2017 she had issued seven requests to unmask Flynn’s name.
“Only certain personnel are authorized to submit unmasking requests into the NSA system,” stated Grenell in the documents to the Senators. “In this case, 16 authorized individuals requested unmaskings for (redacted) different NSA intelligence reports for select principals. While principals are identified below, we cannot confirm they saw the unmasked information. This response does not include any requests outside of the specified time-frame.”
Grenell had declassified the list this week and sent it to the Department of Justice for review before releasing the documents to Senators Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson on Wednesday. Both Senators demanded that the documents be made public Tuesday night in a formal letter to Grenell.
The much anticipated documents were stunning, as former Vice President Biden’s name was revealed on the official list of those requesting the classified information on Flynn. It appears that the officials on the list all had access to Flynn’s highly classified conversation with then Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak during the transition in December, 2016.
Flynn’s conversation was leaked to several Washington Post reporters and then printed in a column by David Ignatius, who stated that numerous senior officials had verified the information in his column. The column was the impetus for the FBI’s continued investigation into Flynn, which eventually led to his firing from the White House after a short tenure as Trump’s first national security advisory. The Department of Justice has now asked the courts to drop Flynn’s case against him after his Defense attorney Sidney Powell and DOJ appointed U.S. Attorney Jeffery Jenson revealed a litany of information that was withheld from his defense by prosecutors and what appeared to be a perjury trap set up by...
Univ. Of Arkansas Professor Arrested, Accused of Ties To Chinese Government
Fayetteville, Arkansas – Simon Saw-Teong Ang, 63, of Fayetteville, Arkansas, was arrested on Friday on charges related to Wire Fraud. The complaint and complaint affidavit were unsealed this evening after Ang’s initial appearance in court.
In the one-count complaint, Ang was charged with one count of Wire Fraud. The complaint charges that Ang had close ties with the Chinese government and Chinese companies, and failed to disclose those ties when required to do so in order to receive grant money from NASA. These materially false representations to NASA and the University of Arkansas resulted in numerous wires to be sent and received that facilitated Ang’s scheme to defraud.
If convicted, Ang faces a statutory maximum punishment of 20 years in prison. If convicted, Ang’s sentence will be determined by...

DNI Ric Grenell declassified Obama officials who unmasked Flynn!
Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell has declassified a list of former Obama administration officials who were allegedly involved in the “unmasking” of former national security adviser Michael Flynn in his conversations with the former Russian ambassador during the presidential transition, a senior U.S. official tells ABC News.
If this is revealed shortly, which presumably it will, it might provide strong evidence as to what the Obama administration was up to after President Trump was elected.
It is highly suspect when an outgoing administration spies on an opponent’s campaign and nominees.
Why were they classified in the first place? The Obama administration selectively leaked these conversations.
Grenell, who remains the U.S. ambassador to Germany along with being the acting DNI, visited the Justice Department last week and brought the list with him, according to the official.
During the Russia hoax investigation, former officials improperly unveiled Flynn’s identity from intercepts of his call with former Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
Grenell’s visit came the same week that Attorney General William Barr moved to dismiss the criminal case against Flynn following his guilty plea for lying to the FBI about his conversations with Kislyak.
Barr has said that new information revealed in recent weeks about the conduct of FBI officials involved in the interview of Flynn showed that their investigation was not “legitimate.”
“They did not have a basis for a counterintelligence investigation against Flynn at that stage, based on a perfectly legitimate and appropriate call he made as a member of the transition,” Barr said in an interview with CBS last week.
ABC NEWS PROPAGANDA
Critics, including nearly 2,000 former DOJ officials, have argued the move was part of a pattern of Barr looking to undermine an investigation that was politically damaging for President Donald Trump. The officials called for Barr to resign over his intervention in the...
