FBI emails made public in connection with the recent trial of Michael Sussmann show that President Barack Obama was actively encouraging his top security officials to do a number on the Queen of Hearts’ “Sentence First; Verdict Afterwards” in order to help Mrs. Clinton win in 2016.
For those, like me, who wondered how top U.S. law enforcement and security officials felt they had immunity to bend so many of the rules to help Mrs. Clinton, the FBI emails suggest they were given very poor example by the president himself (their conviction that Mrs. Clinton was a shoo-in surely also helped).
Like the manufactured-out-of-whole-cloth story about Trump ties with Russia’s Alfa Bank, there was zero hard evidence to prove that Russia hacked the DNC emails showing that the deck had been stacked steeply against Bernie Sanders.
The recently revealed FBI messages show that Obama ordered Director of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper to press on anyway. So, as with the Alfa Bank caper, they made up the evidence. And the media had a heyday. And Donald Trump won anyway.
Can’t CrowdStrike Help?
Recall that FBI Director James Comey deferred to CrowdStrike, a sketchy cyber security firm to investigate the “Russian hack” rather than have his own FBI technicians seize the DNC computers and do the forensics. (Sketchy? At about the same time CrowdStrike had been hired to examine an alleged hack of a Ukrainian artillery application. It blamed Russia but its software was exposed as faulty and it was later forced to rewrite it.)
