  5. The facts just keep trickling in. Criminal referrals is a whole new level of escalation. Meanwhile the investigation that's gotten most of the attention remains a nothing-burger. More and more it's looking like "He who smell't it dealt it," and there was partisan overzealousness in FBI and DOJ, and probably a few insiders at or near the top intelligence and national security. I'm not sure how close this comes to Obama. More like Iran-Contra, where a cadre of insiders believed in something so strongly that they put the law in the back seat and let their feelings drive the bus. I think there's a history of mutual back-scratching and winks and nods by individuals across the upper echelons that created a culture of "We work these levers as we please or as our friends wish." Situations such as "Here's these drugs, and there's our buddies trying to rebel against a bad guy, but they don't have enough arms to win. So we'll use the proceeds from seized assets to buy weapons, because WIN." Reaganers did it in the '80s. Obamers did it, later. It's scarier in the present day, because of the powers taken by Bush II in the Patriot Act, but which weren't used to the extent that they were used by is successor's administration. Bush COULD, but he mostly DIDN'T. Can't say the same for Obama. But who's to say what Bush II actually got away with, given the low evidence bar in the FISA courts. Prosecutors didn't apply the same standards for exculpatory evidence. Just present all the clues (including hints and rumors) that make somebody look bad, as if it has as much weight as real evidence, and withhold anything that exculpates (clears) the target of any wrongdoing. But you know that the FISA setup is seriously flawed, whether any of these Obama clowns go to jail or not. Any power created for gov't use will be abused, eventually. Just a matter of time until somebody corrupt comes along and grabs those levers.
