“Obama, of course, covered
up his own role, depicting his presidency as eight years of heroic
efforts to repair the damage caused by the 2008 financial crash. At
the end of those eight years, however, Wall Street and the financial
oligarchy were fully recovered, enjoying record wealth, while
working people were poorer than before, a widening social chasm that
made possible the election of the billionaire con man and Demagogue in November
2016.”

Seven
Times the GAO Found the Obama Administration Violated Federal Law
5:32
Democrats and journalists were excited Thursday when
the Government Accountability Office (GAO) released a legal opinion that the
White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) had violated the Impoundment
Control Act by withholding congressionally appropriated aid to Ukraine last
summer.
The non-binding opinion was disputed by the OMB, which released a memo last month arguing that
the “programmatic” delay sought to fulfill,
not oppose, congressional intent.
The GAO decision, which had been requested by Democrat
Senator Chris van Hollen of Maryland, disagreed, concluding that the delay had
been for “policy reasons,” not “programmatic delay.” Speaker of the House Nancy
Pelosi (D-CA) cited the decision in her morning press conference — though she
had trouble pronouncing the word “impoundment” — and Senate Minority Leader
Chuck Schumer (D-NY) likewise trumpeted the GAO decision as a vindication of
the House impeachment.
Though the GAO works for
Congress, it is not the finder of fact in impeachment cases. Moreover, it is
not even clear that the Impoundment Control Act is constitution.
Nevertheless, if a mere GAO
finding is sufficient to justify impeachment, then President Barack Obama ought
to have been impeached at least seven times over for each of the following
cases in which the GAO found that the Obama administration had violated federal
law.
- The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and United
States Secret Service (USSS) were found to have violated section 503
of the Consolidated Security, Disaster Assistance, and Continuing
Appropriations Act, and the Antideficiency Act, in 2009 after the Secret
Service reported that it had overspent on candidate protection in 2008
by $5,100,000, and used money from another program to cover the
shortfall. DHS failed to notify Congress 15 days in advance of the
“reprogramming.”
- The Department of the Treasury was found to have violated the
Antideficiency Act in 2014 when it used the voluntary services of four
individuals. “Treasury did not appoint any of the individuals to federal
employment, nor did any individual qualify as a student who may, under
certain circumstances, perform voluntary service,” the GAO found, adding
that there was no emergency that might have justified using the
individuals to perform several months of work without receiving pay.
- The Department of Defense was found to have violated
the Department of Defense Appropriations Act of 2014 and the
Antideficiency Act in the infamous Bowe Bergdahl swap, when President
Barack Obama traded five high-level Taliban detainees for a U.S. Army
deserter. The administration transferred the five Taliban from Guantanamo
Bay without notifying relevant congressional committees 30 days in
advance, as required by law. Republicans complained; Democrats were
silent.
- The Department of Housing and Urban Development was found to have violated
the Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Act, the
Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, and the Antideficiency
Act in 2014 when the deputy secretary of the department sent an email to
“friends and colleagues” asking them to lobby the Senate in favor of a
bill appropriating money to the department, and against amendments offered
by Republican Senators.
- The Environmental Protection Agency was found to have violated “publicity or
propaganda and anti-lobbying provisions” in the Financial Services
and General Government Appropriations Act and the Department of the
Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act in 2015 by
using some of the department’s social media accounts in rule-making for
the “Waters of the United States” (WOTUS) regulations (which have
since been repealed under the Trump administration).
- Two officials in the Department of Housing and Urban
Development were found in 2016 to have violated
Section 713 of the Financial Services and General Government
Appropriations Act by attempting to prevent a regional director within the
agency from being interviewed by the Committee on Oversight and
Government Reform. (Notably, the GAO reversed its earlier decision that
the department’s general counsel had not violated the law once it was
presented with more evidence.)
- The Federal Maritime Commission was found to have
violated Section 711 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, as well as
the Antideficiency Act, in 2016 when it failed to notify the relevant Senate
and House committees that it had spent more than $5,000 to furnish and
redecorate the office of its former director in 2010. (The total amount
spent was $12,084 over three years, as noted by the GAO in a footnote
reference to an inspector general’s report on the excessive expenditures.)
Needless to say, Obama was
never impeached.

Secretary Hillary Clinton and the Deep State: A RICO Criminal
Conspiracy
We who elected President Trump
understood our elected officials and the Deep State were sandbagging Trump and self-dealing public funds.
It was no secret that President Trump is no angel, unpresidential, blunt, and
crude, and a disruptor. Trump was hired to drain the swamp.
I watched this kabuki theater unfold over the last several
years. Through my eyes as a shopworn gumshoe, I will explain what is happening.
My investigative curiosity was first piqued by the ATF Fast and Furious scandal
and continues through the recent House impeachment show trial. There is a
common element running through all of these cons — the
actions of an organized crime conspiracy. A group of people either
acting alone or in concert with others committed crimes with a common purpose -
a criminal enterprise as described in "CRIMINAL RICO: 18 USC. §§1961-1968 A
Manual For Federal Prosecutors."
The players acted together – in the
usurpation of power, the abuse of power by public officials, bribery, thefts by
fraud including federal funds, money laundering, perjury and the obstruction of
justice, the violations of fundamental of civil rights, aided and abetted in
the commission of these crimes and or to conceal these crimes. Criminals will
lie and can't keep their lies straight. Their methods and behaviors are the
same, whether engaging in street crimes or elaborate white-collar financial
schemes. The only difference is when more money is involved, the perps are more
adept in concealing, covering up their sins, and hiding where the money went.
Many of these scandals are well known to the American Thinker readers.
I will focus my comments on Hillary's home brew sever and the Clinton
Foundation as an example of how RICO can be used to prosecute the players.
FBI Director James Comey indicted
Hillary Clinton for her home brew server at his press conference. Comey then egregiously
concluded that there was no evidence of criminal intent purportedly “required”
to prosecute. Comey bastardized the Federal Espionage Act in absolving Hillary Clinton. FBI's
investigation of Clinton's emails was low-balled. There was never a real search
for the truth. The outcome was preordained. My jaw dropped wide open. I knew
the fix was in. FBI Director Comey lied to the people with a straight face.
Why?
The chance meeting of Bill Clinton
and AG Loretta Lynch on the airport tarmac was no mere coincidence. This chat
was not about the grandkids. Bill Clinton was there to convey a specific
message to Lynch that there would be no indictment of Hillary. Hillary
Clinton's email case must tank. This would have constituted bribery, if AG Lynch was
assured she would continue as AG in Clinton Administration. This meeting
took place only weeks before Comey's press conference dumping Hillary Clinton's
email case.
The Deep State needed Hillary Clinton
to win the 2016 presidential election, or the dike holding back the truth would
burst. Trump, the disruptor, was an immediate threat to both the Republicans,
Democrats, and the Deep State. If the truth
were laid bare, it would expose the Obama Administration, Hillary Clinton, the
Senate and House, and many executive departments for these abuses of power,
corruption, bribery, frauds, and thefts of public funds.
High-level government officials and
the Deep State committed many serious felonies either in furtherance of or to
conceal the crimes committed in the pay to play scam. In
exchange for favorable consideration by Secretary Clinton, those who benefited
would donate to the Clinton Foundation. The FBI started and
stopped investigations into the Clinton Foundation at least twice as reported
by the Washington Post. Peter Schweizer's book, Clinton Cash, is the most damning. Dinesh D'Souza slammed the Foundation
in the National Review, as did The Federalist.
The status of the investigation of the Foundation by US
Attorney John Huber's is unknown. Rudy Giuliani said there was enough to
pursue "Clinton Inc" as
racketeering under RICO. The Foundation and its affiliated nonprofits require a real
investigation with an in-depth forensic audit to determine where the money
went. In financial crimes investigation, the prime rule is "follow the
money, honey." Illicit nonprofits have many ways to divert funds by
inflating salaries, expenses, and money laundering.
Illegal nonprofit schemes are
difficult to prosecute without hard evidence and the testimony of insiders. The
motive of Hillary Clinton's use of the home brew server was to conceal emails
from FOIA requests that would provide the hard evidence. Hillary Clinton
destroyed the data on her server and cell phones with the knowledge of the FBI.
It took years for Judicial Watch and others to pry and recover
some of these damning emails from the foot-dragging executive departments that
were complicit and knew what was going on.
RICO initially was used to target mob
families. RICO is also a useful tool to fight white collar conspiracies. They
both have the same hierarchy of low-level crooks led by the top players, linked
together with a common purpose. RICO has tools to squeeze the low-level
operatives to gather evidence to prosecute, jail, and seize assets of the
conspirators. The critical element required is a pattern of criminal
or racketeering activity. This pattern is proved by showing two predicate
crimes were committed within ten years. The list of predicate crimes is extensive and includes
bribery, embezzlement, fraud, theft, money laundering, and obstruction of
justice. The typical five-year statute of limitations for most federal
felonies is extended to ten years from the last criminal act or acts committed
to conceal the conspiracy, i.e., lying under oath and similar actions to
obstruct justice. The prison sentences are steep. The effect is to cut off the
head of the organization and not just the low-level players.
The criminal activity extends back to
the ATF's Fast and Furious program through the House impeachment show trial to
cover up the illegal acts of the Obama Administration, Hillary Clinton, the
Department of State, the DOJ, the FBI, and the CIA. A telltale sign that
the DOJ under US Attorney General Barr is willing to play hardball and may use
RICO, came when he spoke to the Federalist Society: "Barr accuses liberal 'resistance' of
trying to 'sabotage' Trump." AG Barr said this, "shows FBI launched Trump campaign
investigation on the 'thinnest of suspicions." AG Barr is the new sheriff in town, he wears a
badge, has guns and will travel, can impanel grand juries, indict and arrest
people, and is not limited in his jurisdiction, like DOJ IG Horowitz.
The collective actions of the Deep
State are and were a silent coup to delegitimize a Presidential candidate. Once
elected to impede and resist the duly elected President. The President's law
enforcement and intel agencies were corrupted at the highest level and went
rogue.
Organized crime can't exist without
corrupt law enforcement. As I wrote in a letter to President Trump earlier this
year:
.
. . I believe you understand the gravity of the situation and of its importance
to the very survival of our Country as we know it. If the people involved are
not held accountable for their actions, we will be no different than some Third
World Banana Republic.
Failure
to act will destroy our founding principle of the Rule of Law as stated by
President John Adams, "We Are a Nation of Laws, Not of Men" and we
cannot allow a two-tiered justice system to prevail.

The new aristocrats,
like the lords of old, are not bound by the laws that apply to the lower
orders. Voluminous reports have been issued by Congress and government panels
documenting systematic fraud and law breaking carried out by the biggest banks
both before and after the Wall Street crash of 2008.
Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and every other major US
bank have been implicated in a web of scandals, including the sale of toxic
mortgage securities on false pretenses, the rigging of international interest
rates and global foreign exchange markets, the laundering of Mexican drug
money, accounting fraud and lying to bank regulators, illegally foreclosing on
the homes of delinquent borrowers, credit card fraud, illegal debt-collection
practices, rigging of energy markets, and complicity in the Bernie Madoff Ponzi
scheme.

Obama choose Communists and Marxists for the highest,

These people were engaged in a massive political conspiracy. The
Democrats made a decision from the outset—beginning with the election campaign
of the favored candidate of Wall Street and the CIA, Hillary Clinton—that they
would not oppose Trump on his anti-working-class social policy or his
authoritarian hostility to democratic rights and promotion of anti-immigrant
racism, but on issues of imperialist foreign policy.
