US Presidential Election Series: President Obama’s hypocrisy on leaks

This week, speaking in a radio interview, US President Barrack Obama said, “we don't operate on innuendo and we don't operate on incomplete information and we don't operate on leaks.” He was referring to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) notification to the congress that the organization is reopening the Hillary email probe. He as a President did, what one mustn’t do. He gave a clean chit to Hillary Clinton saying that he trusts her and has no doubt over her Integrity, despite the facts, which are

  • Hillary Clinton intentionally or not, withheld federal records for years and deleted 33,000 (probably more) emails using bleach bed so that none can have access to them.
  • She is under the FBI investigation.

Anyone with common sense would understand, if those email contained just talks about yoga and her daughter’s birthday party details, she wouldn’t take so much of heat by deleting them. There was something more criminal than her deletion.

So, when we hear President’s words, unlike the mainstream media we see a hypocrisy. The biggest of the investigations in history were triggered by leaks. He himself used a leaked video of Mitt Romney (famous 47 percent) to win the almost lost election in 2012. If then it was ok, then why discredit the videos of Project VERITAS that show that the Democratic party persons with links to the campaign of Hillary Clinton conspiring to voter fraud. Why not investigate based on the videos that Hillary Clinton’s campaign paid people to protest at Donald Trump rallies and incite violence.

What Mr. President is basically doing is trying to obstruct justice very skillfully and misguide the American people.
