Obama had to know what was going on.

At the National Review online, our go-to legal eagle, former federal prosecutor Andy McCarthy spells it out: “…the Trump-Russia investigation (including its threads, like the Flynn investigation) was a counterintelligence probe. The purpose of the FBI’s counterintelligence mission is to provide information to the president in support of his constitutional mission to protect the United States from foreign threats.”

McCarthy expands on this: “There is nothing wrong with President Obama’s knowing about a counterintelligence investigation. In fact, if the FBI truly believed a candidate for the presidency was in an espionage conspiracy with the Kremlin, there would be something profoundly wrong if the president were not kept informed. It would be expected that the president would give his subordinates direction.” (bold, u/l added)

Foreign espionage efforts are specifically under a President’s job requirements, as it applies to his primary responsibility – protecting United States national security.

What’s more likely – Obama was in the loop…or Obama  subordinates Lynch, Comey, Brennan, Clapper, et al kept a so-called ‘espionage conspiracy’ secret from him?

If you believe O’ was kept in the dark, we’ve got a bridge in Brooklyn we’ll sell you.
