How Obama loyalists conspired to undermine the Trump transition

[GURPS]

Among the findings: Obama appointees relied on Democratic opposition research to push Trump collusion claims into the public domain. They also leaked sensitive material to news media, some of it grossly misleading.

In addition, House intelligence committee Chairman Devin Nunes, California Republican, is seeking access to Justice Department documents to determine whether the FBI inserted a spy into the Trump campaign.

Ari Fleischer, who served as press secretary to President George W. Bush, said Obama aides “made life extremely difficult for the incoming team.”

“In retrospect, we now know this is one of the worst transitions in American history,” Mr. Fleischer told The Washington Times. “On the surface, they played nicely and said nice things. But below the surface, it is clear several people in the Obama administration were doing everything they could to leave time bombs behind that would detonate all around Donald Trump and his administration.”

He pointed to an Obama operative who “unmasked” the name of retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn in a U.S.-intercepted call with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. The Obama person then leaked the call to The Washington Post, causing immediate upheaval inside the new White House.

Mr. Fleischer also talked of a stream of Obama press leaks about supposed Trump-Russia collusion, a charge that remains unproven, at least publicly.

“The Obama administration did many things in their power to harm the Trump administration as they got their feet on the ground,” Mr. Fleischer said. “All these things revolve around a tight circle that have access to the highest levels of intelligence, and they all have a common theme: Trump colluded, when there’s no evidence of it. But they were so spooked by what they saw, I think, it’s highly likely the Obama people rushed to conclusions and made life extremely difficult for the incoming team.”

And, we used to think that destroying government computers, stealing property from the WH, and hiding budget items was a bad turnover from D to R. Obama raised the bar on something yet again!

See, what gets me is - the Watergate break in was a crime. The subsequent and documentable cover up - was a crime.
The Valerie Plame outing - was a crime. Although what was REALLY a crime was, they knew who DID it before they started the grand jury.
And that man was never punished.

When you investigate - you have a crime, and you find out who committed it.

What is being done now is exactly the opposite - they are "investigating" people to determine IF they committed a crime.
And if they haven't, they'll be examined to see if their testimony has any holes in it to try for perjury or obstruction of justice.

And at the end of the day - there may very well be - and I believe, absolutely - no crime underneath it at all.

'Let the jury consider their verdict,' the King said, for about the twentieth time that day. 'No, no!' said the Queen. 'Sentence first—verdict afterwards.'
'Stuff and nonsense!' said Alice loudly. 'The idea of having the sentence first!'
'Hold your tongue!' said the Queen, turning purple.
'I won't!' said Alice.
Off with her head!' the Queen shouted at the top of her voice.

Thank you. That, right there, sums up the leftist (including the media) attitude and modus operandi in a nutshell.

IMO the biggest crime is Mueller and his assistants stealing a paycheck for carrying on this farce.
