I'm patting myself on the back for this one. As I predicted in a recent blog, now that Governor Chris Christie took the lead from Hillary Clinton in a potential presidential poll, the left and mainstream media will do their best to discredit him. This week we learned that Christie is involved in a terrible political scandal. Two high ranking political allies decided to punish commuters going from Ft. Lee New, Jersey to Manhattan via the George Washington Bridge by limiting access for no apparent reason. The was in response to the Mayor Sokolich of Ft. Lee not endorsing Governor Christie in the recent gubernatorial election. A day after he learned of this, Gov. Christie gave a news conference in which he claim he had no knowledge of this, but took responsibility and fired his chief of staff Bridgette Kelly and broke ties with his campaign manager, both long time political allies. He also apologized to the Mayor of Ft. Lee and the people of New Jersey. Ft. Lee Mayor Sokolich accepted his apology. Though reprehensible, this political vengeance was not criminal (though it borders on it). Showing real leadership, Christie acted swiftly in firing those responsible and taking responsibility. With this story about to loose it legs and only 24 hours later, the Justice Department has appointed an attorney who is an Obama campaign contributor to investigate and bring charges. In addition he is now being investigated for misusing Hurricane Sandy funds to produce an advertisement promoting the Jersey Shore being open for business. He claims this use had been approved.
Compare this to Obama, who had to face the IRS targeting scandal of Tea Party, Christain, and other conservative groups seeking tax exempt status. Political targeting by the IRS is strictly forbidden and criminal. As usual the regime claimed no knowledge and at first claimed it was some low level employees in the Cincinnati office. A congressional investigation uncovered involvement at a higher and broader level stretching all the way to Washington, DC and White House attorneys and maybe beyond. Lois Lerner, department head, pleaded her fifth amendment right after giving a lengthy speech denying any responsibility. Though initially given a raise in salary and a promotion to run part of Obamacare, she has since been placed on paid administrative leave. Obama promised an investigation but it took eight months to appoint an attorney in the Justice Department, Barbara Bosserman, another Obama campaign contributor, to head the investigation. This appears to be asking the fox to guard the hen house. Instead, an independent consul should be appointed and criminal indictments should be forthcoming. The regime has used the Justice Department to stymie congressional investigations, much as President Clinton did to prevent an indictment of recently elected Virginia Governor and Clinton ally Terry McAuliffe (he cosigned on the Clinton's mortgage), who was behind a money laundering scheme to illegally send union contributions to the Clinton campaign in 1996. Union official were indicted, convicted, and sent to prison, but Janet Reno prevented McAuliffe from testifying before Congress saying he was under investigation and couldn't respond to congressional inquiries. No results of an investigation have ever been forth coming, if there was really an investigation. This quietly died when Bush became President and his Justice Department had no interest in pursuing the matter. Incredulously, Obama had the Justice Department investigate itself in the "Fast and Furious " scandal. Investigation into the American deaths during the consulate attacks in Benghazi have been exceedingly slow or virtually non existent hoping by the regime that these scandals would go away by themselves with the help of a sympathetic mainstream media. No one seems to be responsible for these scandals and the mainstream media is not pressing for accountability even though at Benghazi and "fast and furious", American lives and been lost. Obama has taken a page out of the Clinton playbook when Filegate, White Watergate, irregularities around Vince Foster's suicide, and Clinton's treason in allowing bundler Bernie Schwartz to sell Loral's missile guidance technology to the communist Chinese armyfor an illegal campaign contribution of $20,000,000. Though Judge Kenneth Starr was appointed chief independent consul for some of this activity, he generously gave first lady Hillary Clinton a pass on her perjured deposition testimony, declaring "I don't remember" over one hundred times (Scooter Libby went to prison for saying it once during his deposition).
As far as political vengeance is concerned, the Obama regime disgracefully and unnecessarily closed national parks and the Veteran Memorial, and then had the audacity of blaming it on Republicans. A duplicitous mainstream media actually attempted to support this ridiculous claim. The words "I'm sorry" or "I apologize" are not part of Obama's vocabulary. That would not be in keeping with Alinsky's Rules for Radicals, Obama's handbook and political guide.
Speaking of political vengeance, we have recently learned of Hillary Clinton's enemies list. Senator Claire McCaskill, Sec. of State John Kerry, and Ted Kennedy were all rated top enemies with a rating of 7. Friends were rated a 1. It should be no surprise that politicians have a list of friends and enemies in order to grant or deny favors, but Hillary's list, that was compiled by long term political advisor to both Clinton and certifiable sleaze ball Kris Balderstrom, was on an Excel spread shee,t rating each episode to arrive at a final rating and often listing an unfortunate event befalling these enemies. For example, Ted Kennedy's death served as a source for gloating. What was not reported was that Bill Clinton also had an enemies list, just as detailed as Hillary's. Knowledge of this and details of Filegate leads me to suspect that political blackmail has taken place during the Clinton regime. If you recall, Filegate involved the FBI files of 1000 prominent Republicans including senators and congressman. According to the Clintons, these file were accidentally brought to the White House when candidates for political appointments were being screened, but never examined by his staff. These files were guarded by a marine and a log had to be signed when a file was checked out and brought back. The pages of the log book containing this information while the files were at the White House disappeared just before this story broke, so no one could tell if the regime was telling the truth. Now fast forward to Clinton's second term when he was impeached by the House Republicans, but cleared by the Senate. All of the key ranking Republicans in the House responsible the impeachment resigned or did not run for office again over relatively minor scandals involving cheating on their spouses It is my contention that they were informed of more embarrassing revelations would be forth coming unless they left the House, in other words, they were blackmailed based on information obtained years earlier from their FBI files. Might be interesting to question the marine guards if they are still alive or haven't been paid off.
There you have it another blog. Please pass it on and comment. Planning another blog, "Obama's War on America".
