We know that he/his administration used the IRS inappropriately and we know that the FBI was used inappropriately as well. We know that the FBI directer made decisions that he didn't have the authority to make in regards to Hilary's case and we know she cleaned had her hard drive cleaned by a professional and we know she had her assistants destroy their government issued phones as well. How do we know this, it's all on record and it's all been collaborated by admittance of guilt. Even the Russian collusion thingy has more evidence of collusion between the DNC and Clinton Campaign and the Russians involving the Steele Dossier that was used as evidence by the FBI and the Department of Justice to obtain the FISA warrant to spy on the Trump Campaign and launch an investigation into collusion between the Trump Administration and the Russian government.
1. Futility. No substance means no story.
Not even FoX Newspeak Channel, always hostile to President Obama, could find anything. Crooked pols typically show signs that journalists look for, like secretiveness, deviousness, arrogance, and cynicism.
Journalists want their names on biting stories, and if the Governor seems to 'need' a big campaign contribution to a slush fund if one wants a contract to build or upgrade an expressway, then that is a story on which journalists pounce as if cats going after a mouse. Wild parties at the official residence of the Mayor of Detroit led to the downfall of Kwame "Crookpatrick".
A widespread consensus is that Barack Obama had as squeaky-clean an administration as there has been in a long time. If you want to cover Obama, then what you see is what you get -- and that is the news.
2. I am more likely to believe that wiping sensitive materials from federal computers can be an issue of security -- if such material can be used against America in the wake of a breach. Hard-copy files tucked away in a vault and subjected to rigid security are safer than material on line.
Obviously no public official has any right to delete files that might hold evidence of wrongdoing.
3. The DNC was practically powerless between the Republican win of the Senate in the 2014 election and especially after the election of Donald Trump. Donald Trump has connections to some of the shadiest people in existence. He has ties to organized crime in both the Sicilian and the Russian Mafia. The FBI has been consistently hostile to organized crime, whoever the President is. With Obama as President, FBI investigations of organized crime had no political significance because the President did not interfere. With Donald Trump, the President is the issue.
Just look at the people already convicted -- a veritable rogue's gallery. Papadopoulos, the alleged 'coffee boy'. Manafort, who advised a dictator on how to loot his country and lived high as a reward for such. Lieutenant General Flynn -- a violator of a basic tenet of military life, which is to avoid involvement in partisan politics. Michael Cohen, the President's personal lawyer, who forgot that an attorney must never become complicit in a client's legal misdeeds. Does threatening to kill a squealer's therapy dog sound like witness tampering?
The Trump Presidency is Amateur Hour.
