Obama was president while the FBI was investigating a crime that has led to over a dozen indictments so far. Heaven forbid the FBI attempt to investigate. It's not like Obama is running the DOJ on a daily basis and if he was he sure kept the fact that Trump was under investigation quiet while Hillary's investigation was the main story of the campaign.
So, let's cut through this.
Yes, the FBI was investigating. That's their job. And yes, it was President Obama's everyday reality not to follow it. But he still should have been told, and if he was, then he's complicit.
But no, the FBI clearly had agents that went outside the rules. They had intelligence sharing well outside what was allows, and not just to DHS and other agencies, but to political entities. The FBI has repeatedly had to deal with that reality. Anyone who denies that is a Progressive apologist.
We're only now finding how deep it's going. Why? As the originally valid, special prosecutors office goes more and more off-track, you're starting to see more and more 'whistleblowers' come out from various, federal agencies -- career law enforcement, not politicians.
The same thing happened when a California Congresswoman held up a gun runner gun and made the statement that Mexican cartels were getting their weapons from the US (since bunked, statistically, by the ATF). That's when three (3) ATF agents were sacked and repeatedly chastized internally, until they finally all decided to whistleblow. No one talks about what they still deal with today, but they feel it was worth it.
And that's how these things work. Good, federal law enforcement always has a few that are willing to throw away their careers, challenging their political superiors many levels up (especially 20+ year agents, even at the risk of their pensions), but they try to change internally. And after many months, even years, when it doesn't ... and the BS hits the fan, they finally come out. And they aren't always Snowden types, they'll stay in the US and suffer the consequences too.
The more this non-sense goes on, the more crap you're going to see come out about the Obama administration -- things that wouldn't have seen the night-of-day if there wasn't such a heavy, pro-DNC bias in the US media and total "Registered Democrats only" blanket that exists in DC.
