Obama: ‘Nobody in my administration got indicted’

Mr. Scandals...

This is rich coming from him and I'll tell you why. NBC, CBS, the FBI, CNN, the DOJ, ABC, the NSA, and MSNBC conspired to prevent it from happening.

That's why!

Oh...and they all plead the 5th.

Former President Barack Obama took multiple swipes at his successor’s tenure in the White House during a series of fiery speeches Friday.

At an evening rally in Detroit, MI., Obama mocked President Trump’s promise to drain the swamp saying that instead, “they have gone to Washington and just plundered away.”

“In Washington they have racked up enough indictments to field a football team,” Obama said. “Nobody in my administration got indicted.”

Earlier, at a rally in Milwaukee, WI., Obama brought up Hillary Clinton’s email server — accusing Republicans of harping on the issue to “scare the heck out of people before every election.”

“In the last election, it was Hillary’s emails. ‘This is terrible’ … ‘This is a national security crisis.’ They didn’t care about emails and you know how you know? Because if they did, they’d be up in arms right now that the Chinese are listening to the president’s iPhone that he leaves in his golf cart,” Obama said, referring to a report about Chinese and Russian spies snooping on the president’s phone calls.

Without ever actually mentioning the president by name, Obama continued his criticism, taking aim at him and other Republicans for just “making stuff up.”

“What we have not seen before in our public life is politicians just blatantly, repeatedly, baldly, shamelessly, lying. Just making stuff up,” Obama said. “Calling up, down. Calling black, white.”

As he urged crowds to vote for Michigan and Wisconsin’s Democratic candidates, Obama said that “the character of our country is on the ballot.”

Well, we knew it was coming

Wassermouth Schultz on the bomber:

I was going to blow the picture up more but didn't think you could take it.

(Click it if you dare)

One of the bomber’s potential targets, Wasserman Schultz, said the case had been “gut-wrenching” for her, and served as a warning to the entire nation against the kind of heated rhetoric used by the president.

“We’re all responsible for making sure that we act and speak civilly,” she said. “When you raise the temperature, when you whip people into a frenzy, when you carelessly do not think about the impact of your words — particularly at the highest level of office in the country — then you are acting grossly irresponsible, and each of us has to make sure that we hold ourselves accountable.”

-----------------------------------

Of course, when Steve Scalise and three other people were shot and wounded by James Hodgkinson,

a left-wing activist during a Republican baseball game she said nothing. Notably 'gun control' their default setting was not brought up either.

“When you raise the temperature, when you whip people into a frenzy, when you carelessly do not think about the impact of your words — particularly at the highest level of office in the country — then you are acting grossly irresponsible, and each of us has to make sure that we hold ourselves accountable.”

OK...so what do you call this Wassermouth?

Imagine Trump said this about Democrats.

A little background info on Cesar Sayoc. He has a lengthy criminal record... long before Trump became president.

In the 2002 bomb threat case, he had lashed out at a Florida utility representative because his electricity service was about to be cut off. The arrest report said Sayoc threatened in a phone call to blow up the utility's offices and said that "It would be worse than September 11th."

Sayoc was also convicted in 2014 for grand theft and in 2013 for battery. In 2004, he faced several felony charges for unlawful possession of a synthetic anabolic steroid often used to help build muscles. He also had several arrests going back to the 1990s for theft, obtaining fraudulent refunds and tampering with evidence.

Sayoc also had a run-in with authorities where he was charged with possessing a fake driver's license after altering his birthdate to make him appear younger.

Avenatti hit with 2nd criminal probe referral after client says he 'twisted' her words about Kavanaugh

Grassley refers Swetnick, Avenatti for criminal probe

Video 442

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley is asking for a criminal investigation into whether Julie Swetnick and her attorney Michael Avenatti conspire to provide false statements to Congress during the confirmation process for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley on Friday referred lawyer Michael Avenatti to the Justice Department for a second criminal investigation amid reports his accuser recanted her allegations against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh even before he submitted her sworn declaration.

The referral follows the one issued Thursday -- alleging that Avenatti and client Julie Swetnick engaged in a “conspiracy” to provide false statements to Congress about Kavanaugh’s alleged sexual misconduct -- after the accuser backtracked on some allegations.

The Friday referral concerns the second sworn declaration Avenatti submitted to the committee that supposedly backed up Swetnick’s allegations.

MICHAEL AVENATTI'S HORRIBLE, VERY BAD WEEK: LAWYER HIT WITH AVALANCHE OF LEGAL, FINANCIAL AND PERSONAL WOES

Grassley cited an NBC News report revealing – nearly three weeks after Kavanaugh's confirmation – that a second, unidentified accuser walked back on her allegations even before the lawyer could post her statement on social media, saying the lawyer “twisted” her words.

The woman, who remains unidentified, said in a sworn statement posted by Avenatti that she saw Kavanaugh “spike” the punch at the parties.

But in an interview with NBC News on Sept. 30, prior the release of the statement, she said “I didn't ever think it was Brett” who spiked the drinks and denied ever seeing Kavanaugh acting inappropriately toward women.

After reviewing her statement posted by Avenatti, she told the outlet that “It is incorrect that I saw Brett spike the punch. I didn't see anyone spike the punch. ... I was very clear with Michael Avenatti from day one.”

"It is incorrect that I saw Brett spike the punch. I didn't see anyone spike the punch. ... I was very clear with Michael Avenatti from day one."— Michael Avenatti's second Kavanaugh accuser

She also said “I would not ever allow anyone to be abusive in my presence. Male or female,” adding that she did not “like that [Avenatti] twisted my words.”

NBC NEWS RAISES EYEBROWS BY SITTING ON INFO THAT CONTRADICTED MICHAEL AVENATTI CLIENT'S GANG RAPE CLAIM

Grassley said in the letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions and FBI Director Christopher Wray that the woman’s sworn testimony submitted to the committee Oct. 2 “appears to be an outright fraud.”

“In light of this new information, I am now referring Mr. Avenatti for investigation of additional potential violations of those same laws, stemming from a second declaration he submitted to the Committee that also appears to contain materially false statements,” he added.

In response to the referral, Avenatti lashed out on Twitter. “How ignorant is Grassley? He keeps publicly demanding an investigation knowing full well that it will likely never happen - it is all for show. And if it does, he has placed Kavanaugh at risk of being removed from the SCOTUS. This is what happens when you never attend law school,” he wrote in a tweet.
