If this weren’t said on national TV I would find it hard to believe it was said at all.
Here, from yesterday’s interview with Fox News’ Chris Wallace, is how President Obama “defends” Hillary Clinton’s handling of her emails:
“I’ve got to be careful because, as you know, there have been investigations, there are hearings, Congress is looking at this. And I haven’t been sorting through each and every aspect of this.
“Here’s what I know: Hillary Clinton was an outstanding Secretary of State. She would never intentionally put America in any kind of jeopardy.
“And what I also know, because I handle a lot of classified information, is that there are — there’s classified, and then there’s classified. There’s stuff that is really top secret top secret, and there’s stuff that is being presented to the president or the secretary of state, that you might not want on the transom, or going out over the wire, but is basically stuff that you could get in open source.
There’s classified and then there’s classified?
Holy excrement, this is the Obama version of “It depends on what ‘is’ is”.
What would Mr. Obama do if, among the 2,079 emails (so far) that were found to have classified information in them, say, one or two had the “then there’s classified” kind? Would he pull a Dean Wormer and put Hillary Clinton on Double Secret Probation?
And if that ludicrous claim were not enough, Mr. Obama went on to say:
“I do not talk to FBI directors about pending investigations. We have a strict line and always have maintained it. I guarantee it.
“I guarantee that there is no political influence in any investigation conducted by the Justice Department or the FBI, not just in this case but in any case. Period. Nobody gets treated differently when it comes to the Justice Department because nobody is above the law.”
Nah, nobody gets treated differently.
Very credible, coming from the same President in the same administration whose IRS people systematically prevented groups with names that suggested they would oppose his policies 501(c)4 status, while allowing overtly political ones who support him, like mediamatters.org, that status.
This has all the believability of “Shovel-ready jobs”, “If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor” and ObamaCare will save “the average family” $2,500 a year.
If you believe that Barack Obama does not and would not talk to his hand-picked Attorney General about a probe that could put the Democrat Party out of the presidency, you are living in a strange and distant world, far removed from anything resembling the real one.
Enjoy it….until January 20, 2017, when, mercifully, it will end.
