Why the Left (and some on the right) Want Trump Gone

      The Presidential election of 2016 had to be one of the most unusual in American history.  Prior to President Trump"s election, no other American president had been a businessman with absolutely no political experience.  Previous presidents had either served somewhere in state or federal government or in the military.  The last president, Obama, was a shadowy character.  Few important details of his life were known and the MSM made certain that those details were keep well hidden.  Instead, the ridiculous birther issue served as a diversion from the more important issues of his background.  Obama promised to fundamentally change America, but never mentioned what he wanted to change America into.  If he had, I doubt whether he would have gotten a single electoral vote as his idea of change was passed on to him by Saul Alinsky, Frank Davis, Edward Said, Richard Cloward, and even Bill Ayers and Alice Palmer.  Instead Obama and the MSM obscured his relationships with these mentors but promoted the misinformation in his two autobiographies, purposely written to hide what and how he wanted to change America.

      President Trump and many Americans of all political persuasions came to realize the destructive path that Obama had led America down in his eight years in office even though they didn't know why.    On the surface Obama seemed amiable only wanting the best, but in reality he was a monster wanting to destroy the middle class and capitalism.  His backing came from wealthy and powerful far left elitists who shielded and backed him.  In the process he nearly destroyed the Democrat Party.  Sadly, most haven't realized that their support for him is the reason for the near demise of their party. More than 1000 elected offices became Republican across the country.  With few exceptions a map of America is nearly all red except for a few specks of blue in the northeast, along the west coast, and in decaying cities nationwide.  Most Democrats from so called safe districts or states don't realize that a more centrist Democrat candidate may dislodge them from office.  Ironically that is just the kind of candidate they are trying to recruit to win Republican Districts.

      Unfortunately, it seems like the main job of most politicians is to get reelected.  What's best for America and their constituency comes second.  With districts gerrymandered to support one type of candidate, many congressional districts are relatively safe for a political party.  So many are more afraid of a primary challenge then that in the actual election. Democrats have been led to believe that the far far left will supply them with the money to pay for a successful campaign.  Ossoff, despite outspending Karen Hansen seven to one in the most expensive congressional race ever, lost.  The fact that most of the money came from donors outside of Georgia was certainly part of the reason and symptomatic of what the Democrat party has become.  Similarly, HRC outspent President Trump by hundreds of millions of dollars.  Even with loads of money, a bad candidate with little or no message can't win very often.
      As a business man President Trump is interested in efficiency.  On time and under budget is mantra of any builder.  His cabinet is also made up of highly successful businessmen and women and military men who know how to get things done in an efficient manner.  Sadly over the years our government has become very bloated and inefficient.  Government bureaucrats fearful of job loss may also be counterproductive to efficiency.  Some inefficiency has been built into government by the Constitution.  The distribution of power and the rise of political parties tends to slow down the legislative process.  This can be a good thing as careful deliberation is necessary for a new legislation that can change America.  But in today's political environment, it makes it difficult to get anything done, as many politicians would rather play to those who finance their campaigns then the American people.  During the campaign, President Trump vowed to drain the swamp and now those affected by this type of action are very fearful that he might just be successful and that they loose their position and power.

      No group has more to loose than the Black Congressional Caucus.  If Trump is successful in reversing the cycle of poverty in their districts, likeminded black Republicans might just capture those districts. Most black congressional member represent some of the poorest congressional districts, some like Maxine Waters, have been in Congress for 24 years and although the district she represents remains poor, she has become one of the wealthiest in the district, that is if she actually lived in her poor crime ridden district.   I've done my best to try and find net worth of  various members of congress, but reporting data is vague and does not include value of residences, though it does include mortgage debt as a liability.  Waters, in fact, lives in a mansion worth $4.5 million outside of the 35th California Congressional district, she is supposed to represent.   Despite the ease of underreporting net worth, most members of the Black Congressional Caucus are millionaires and are among the wealthiest in the congressional district they are supposed to represent. Yet they keep getting reelected despite their poor performance for their constituency.  The reason is simple, victimization .  They convince their constituency that being poor is not their fault and that they will make certain they get welfare benefits, medicaid or Obamacare, food stamps. Obamaphones, and other cash payments or subsidies except for one thing, jobs.  Education is of course the key to getting out of poverty and the public schools in many of these districts are among the worst.  You would think that the Congressional Black Caucus would be screaming for vouchers and school choice.  Instead, they back the horrible schools in their district as they get campaign money from the teachers' unions to tow the party line.  If they don't, they will have a primary opponent that is backed by the unions.  So they push affirmative action and free college. Sounds good, but it does not make up for a poor k-12 education.

      The Russia "matter" is in reality a hoax to keep Trump's success from being heralded to all America. Some of the Russia hoax is an obvious set up. It is no coincidence that every time Trump succeeds, the MSM reacts to some supposed scandal.  Leftist hypocrisy is rampant with the MSM and elitist DC leftists.  They hope that they can draw this out until November of 2018.  I heard no cries of impeach Obama, a man who needed to be impeached and hung for treason.  No special councils were assigned for any of the massive scandals that rocked his administration.  Bill Clinton was impeached, but for the wrong reason.  He actually committed treason by allowing a campaign bundler, Bernie Schwartz CEO of Lorel, sell missile guidance technology to the Red Chinese Army for $20 million in illegal campaign contributions.  Some of that technology is in the hands of Iran and North Korea. HRC is also a traitor for allowing Russian oligarchs to purchase US Uranium for a $145 million bribe to the Clinton Foundation laundered through a paper Canadian charity and pay Bill a $500 thousand speaking fee.  As far as dirt goes, the Clintons, through "filegate," had dirt on every prominent Republican and certainly Podesta with his Media Matters and Center for American Progress cohorts did too.  That's part of the rough and tumble of politics.

      The Republican need to realize that their majorities may be very fragile, and unless they act now, the resistance and Democrats may win out in the end.  Even if it means having a rival in the next primary, doing whats best for America is what they have been sent to Washington to accomplish.
 

Obama, America's Biggest Drug Dealer and a Few comments on Russia.

      Drug related deaths are up all across the United States and in some areas at record proportions and are the leading cause of death in white males between the ages of 25 and 34. Opioids are the main offenders causing about 50% of  overdose deaths with cocaine, crack, and meth related drugs contributing about 25%.  The rest are other drugs including methadone and marijuana products. Although heroin is the main offender, fentanyl, a synthetic and far more powerful drug, is rapidly moving up.  Some fentanyl is manufactured in Mexico, but with better border control China has become the main source.  Both product, chemicals to make product, and pill presses are turning up all over America with China as the point of origin.
      I wonder what Obama was thinking by commuting the sentences of 1625 drug dealers since 2014. He says that he believes that drug dealing is a non violent crime and that black men are given sentences that are too long and don't fit the crime.  As usual he is wrong and instead of solving the problem he becomes part of it.  Many of the drug dealers he released were both repeat offenders and guilty of gun crimes as well.  Obama thinks its okay for drug dealers to have guns, but not the rest of us law abiding citizens.
      In Obama's adopted home town of Chicago there is a huge gun related murder rate and much of the crime and murders are drug related.  Turf battle are common among gangs who vow for a street corner that might be lucrative.  Black on black crime is out of control and no one seems to care.  Crimes related to drugs are also on the rise as addicts commit crimes in order to obtain cash for drugs or hold up drug dealers for cash and drugs. So much as a non violent crime.The drug related death rate, both homicides and overdoses will continue to rise with 1625 violent drug dealers back on the streets.  Obama seemed more interested in busting criminals out of jail rather than putting them in. Maybe he expects them to be granted their right to vote again.  Scumbag and Clinton ally Terry McAuliff, governor of Virginia, tried to unsuccessfully restore voting rights to 200,00 Virginia felons who had served their sentences knowing they would all vote Democrat.  Maybe Obama feels the same way about drug dealers.  Every vote counts.

      The recent Senate hearing have cleared President Trump of any collusion with the Russians, as if there was a smidgen of evidence that it existed.  Collusion implies that President Trump or someone on his team asked the Russians to help candidate Trump win the election. Hillary blames Macedonia (see recent blog on Macedonia). What is more likely is that Macedonia tried to get even with HRC and Obama, who colluded with George Soros and the country's left to affect elections to replace the conservative elected government. If Podesta, Debbie, Donna Brazile, and HRC had not broken the law or behaved unethically, there would have been nothing to report.  To this, HRC and the Democrats continue to blame the messenger rather than the message. I have discussed Macedonia in a recent blog and suggest that Congress look into Obama's attempt to affect elections in other countries.  Israel also comes to mind. The Democrats have nothing to run on and are trying to prolong this nonsense as the main issue for the 2018 mid term elections.
      Democrats have suggested the AG Jeff Sessions resign.  Sessions has behaved admirably and probably done more to eliminate any appearance of conflict of interest.  His so called meeting with Russian Ambassador Sergi Kislov were incidental and in a crowded room where they may have done little more than shook hands.  The questioning of Sessions by the Democrats was shameful and they all have very short memories as Obama's first AG Eric Holder was held in contempt of Congress and failed to turn over documents subpoenaed by Congress even when a federal judge ruled they had to do so. Now we have learned that AG Loretta Lynch, Obama's second AG, told then FBI chief Comey to mollify his remarks and call the Clinton criminal investigation a "matter." That combined with an attempted clandestine meeting on an airport tarmac in Arizona certainly bears looking into especially since HRC's actions with her server, top secret information, and pay for play with the Clinton Foundation have never been punished and are screaming of privileged treatment.
     In my opinion President Trump should never have allowed a special counsel.  I think he was set up by Comey and the Democrats.  Only if HRC, Bill, Chelsea, Comey, and Loretta Lynch are also investigated and charged will this have any validity.

   

Diversity and Division: the Left and Vctimization

       Most people, both Democrats and Republicans, thought that Barack Obama  would be a voice of unity for the country, as the first African-American president in our history.  Instead, he created the most divisive period in the last fifty years.  The first thing to consider is that Obama has little in common with the average African-American besides the color of his skin and that he was abandoned by his parents and raised by his grandparents.  He had almost no contact with any African-Americans during his formative years.  He was raised during his early life in Djakarta, Indonesia and when back in Hawaii, educated at an exclusive private School in Honolulu.  Even at Occidental College and Columbia University his friends and roommates were Pakistani.  He did have one very important  African-American in his life,  Frank Davis, who mentored him as a teenager.  Davis, of course, was an admitted member of the Communist Party of America.  Davis spent much of his active life as a communist in Chicago and is the reason why Obama wound up there after graduating from Columbia and why he was quickly accepted by and became a member of the far left elite on the Southside.  Most importantly, he has been the one that shaped Obama's hatred toward America and why he cryptically sought "fundamental change".  The former first lady is no better.  Ironically, her poorly written senior thesis at Princeton criticizes African-American  Princeton graduates who then go on to a career in law, medicine, or business and leave the African-American community.  Hmm Michelle, I guess you have become that of what you were critical. Realistically, why would anyone want to remain in a poverty stricken inner city with its inadequate housing and education, and high crime rate?

      No group had more hope or a need for an improvement in their lives than African-Americans.  Instead Obama selected far left ideology rather than improving the lives of African-Americans.  Unemployment soared during his regime with young African-Americans males leading the group of the unemployed.  They became mere pawns in his agenda to destroy capitalism using welfare as one of the pillars of his plan.  Most African-Americans would have rather had jobs than EBT cards. He calculated that most African Americans would continue to support him no matter what he did, even if he hurt them economically.  By blaming his predecessor and with the help of a complicit mainstream media, he managed to divert ill will from his regime to the previous administration, trying to elicit sympathy for what he tried to convince his supporters was a terrible situation.  Little did they know that his ultimate goal was the destruction of capitalism, the middle class, and the American economy. They were mere fodder for his far left vision.
      Publicly we ought to celebrate  that which unifies us, namely we are all Americans with the same rights and privileges.  Privately we are free to practice the things that do make us different like religion or family national origin and customs and even sexuality, but unity represents a huge threat to the left. The Democrats and progressives would rather separate Americans into different groups under the guise of diversity.  The emphasis on diversity is key,  as it becomes  the sedge way to victimization,  Everyone is a victim, African Americans, women, gays, lesbians, transgenders, and Muslims except for one group, white men. White men represent the privileged class and are the oppressors and the root cause of evil.  No where is this perverted philosophy more prevalent than on our college campuses.  Safe spaces, abolishment of free speech, and so called micro aggressions are the most obvious examples. That some white men have succeeded because of hard work and determination doesn't count, its white privilege that's responsible.  Blame an outside source for your personal short comings.  Communist Cuba, Iran, Venezuela, and N.Korea blame America, the Palestinians blame Israel, and two bit African dictators blame their neighbors or rival tribes.  This diverts attention from their inadequacies and failures and transfers it to a perceived enemy.  Obama used this same strategy to explain why America failed under his regime, when in fact it was his efforts to purposely make America fail.

     The worst place to practice diversity would be our educational system, but due to the failings of school boards and teachers' unions, this is not the case.   Despite controlling most our major cities for more than fifty years, not only have the Democrats and liberals not ended or at least diminished poverty, they have failed to adequately educate inner city youths.  One simple and very valid explanation is that the elected leadership supports the teachers' unions and not the students.  The main function of the teachers' unions, sadly, is to keep bad teachers employed.  In some cities, bad teachers are not allowed to teach, but gather in offices or warehouses, where they sit all day playing on their laptops, still collecting a salary and benefits.  Firing all these worthless teachers would allow funds to be redirected to their original purpose,  to actually teaching students with new a better teachers.  In addition, time is wasted on lessons that reinforce the philosophy of victimization.  Affirmative action has become the solution for liberals to the unsatisfactory education that they have provided.  It is also what stands behind the "free" college education movement. Neither affirmative action nor free college make up for a poor primary education. Instead, they represent a racial stereotype, implying that African-American students, just don't learn as well as others.  College level Black Studies courses favor diversity and victimization, emphasizing slavery and racial discrimination but neglect many positive contributions of African-Americans to our early history.  So its only right that the oppressor, the white man, sufferers.  What is a unintended consequence is that the African-American student who doesn't need affirmative action is inappropriately stigmatized.  Currently, colleges and universities have contributed to this, providing "safe spaces" for black students only and now even Harvard had a separate graduation for black students.  Let me make it perfectly clear, affirmative action does not make up for providing an inadequate grade school education.  It promotes victimization and diversity and that is what allows liberal politicians including African American politicians, who have sold out their constituents, to stay in power.

Macedonia: WTF

      Last week loser presidential candidate HRC continued her blame and victim tour and added Macedonia to the list of her tormentors.  I'm certain that few of you know much about Macedonia or even where it is located.  Macedonia is a Balkan country located just north of Greece and bounded by Albania, Kosovo, Serbia, and Bulgaria. It is small and has a population of about 2 million.    It came into existence with the breakup of Yugoslavia.  Guess what. The left hates Macedonia.  Not only does it have a conservative (for Europe) government, but it also pro life, pro Israel and when Syrian refugees began illegally crossing its borders, it built a fence (it was too poor to build a wall) to keep them out.  It also has the lowest tax rate in Europe in the form of a flat tax.
     Now for the good part.  Naturally being conservative, caused Macedonia to raise the ire of Obama and his then Secretary of State HRC. What does the left do when it looses an election?  Standard practice is to try to bring down the winner.  With the aid of George Soros's Open Society Foundation, US taxpayers are unknowingly funding protests both violent and non violent to overthrow the elected government.  Documents secured by Judicial Watch via FOIA requests this February have shown that Obama, Clinton, US Dept. of State, Ambassador Jess Baily, and the USAID are working with George Soros to fund the opposition protests.  These protestors are even called Soros's Army and have violently stormed and disrupted parliament because of anger over election results (sound familiar).  They have also printed and distributed copies of Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals. Ambassador Baily personally worked with Soros's Open Society Foundation to send millions to subversives. USAID is scheduled to send another $9.5 million through 2021.
     According to Hillary we can now add hackers in Macedonia to hackers in Russia for her election failure. I think we need to investigate, to see if Hillary is correct. So lets investigate Hillary, Obama, Daily, USAID, and State Department in relation to Macedonia.  I think we are more than likely to find that Hillary and Obama illegally used taxpayer dollars along with Soros's Open Society Foundation in an attempt to overthrow a duly elected conservative government.  This is just another in a long string of treasonous acts by Obama and Hillary Clinton.
   

Trump Saves America

      On June 1, 2017 President Donald Trump saved America for the second time (the first was when he was elected).  He backed out of what has to be the worst deal every made.  There was not one positive aspect to the Paris Accord for the United States and in fact I would submit that the Obama Regime is guilty of treason for negotiating an accord that is designed to destroy America.  The anti America left claims it will cost America jobs. Huh.  Nothing will stop America from developing renewable energy technology, and when it becomes economically feasible, it will begin to replace other types of energy generation.  There is absolutely no reason for American tax payers to subsidize the alternative energy industry.  Tesla is a great example.  Elon Musk has designed and manufactured a wonderful automobile (only a few have caught on fire), but I don't own one, yet I have subsidized every one built.  He also owns a solar panel company that is failing due to a poor business model that switches the subsidy from the client who uses the system to his company.  Why would anyone want to do that when they could get the subsidy themselves.  As an elitist Musk, like Al Gore, HRC, Barack and Michelle Obama, flies around on his own private jet and uses convoys of gas guzzling limos, but complains about the carbon foot print of the average Americans.

       According to the horrible deal, reduction in emissions by the United States would be greater than any other country, even though they are low already.  Countries like India and China with the most polluted cities in the world could continue polluting well into the future.  In fact they are allowed to increase their emissions.  A draconian part has the United States and West paying third world countries $100 billion to adopt renewable energy.  How's that going to work, giving the corrupt leaders of Zimbabwe, Swaziland, Angola, Equitorial Guinea,  or Sudan hundreds of millions of dollars?  Europe is destroying itself over renewable energy.  German spent $800 billion on solar and now gets a whopping 0.3 percent of its energy from renewable sources.  Spain spent a bundle on solar energy and lost two jobs for every one created and now has an unemployment rate approaching 20%.
      For a monster like Obama, Paris was perfect.  It responded to a problem that doesn't exist.  It cost America a lot of money, basically throwing it away, and helped our economic competitors.  It stifles our opportunity to reduce dependence at a time when massive amounts of energy sources are coming on line in America.  Instead it wants hard working American to pay a lot more for energy like Europeans.  Because of the failure of renewable energy in Germany, electric  bills are 3 times as high and at least twice as high everywhere else.  Of course, the poor will either pay nothing or get some sort of subsidy, so it amounts to the redistribution of wealth. This is why the left supports it.  It has been said that "green is the new red."
      You all know that I have proven time and time again that the global warming hoax was begun in the 1950 by a Nazi who hated America and capitalism.  It found its way to the UN as a means to weaken America and eventually to Al Gore, who got rich off of it, and finally to Barack Obama who saw it as a means to rain economic hell on America. I suggest you read the paper by the most renown sea level scientist in the world.  http://notrickszone.com/2016/01/03/new-paper-by-renowned-sea-level-expert-nils-axel-morner-calls-agw-a-new-religion-built-on-false-premises/.
 

An Education on Obama's Department of Education

       A new scandal is brewing, as details of another one of Obama's plans to destroy the American economy's just surfaced.  As all of you, who follow my blog, are aware,  Obama, a student of Richard Cloward at Columbia, has tried to use the Cloward-Piven Theory on steroids to bring down America and its economy. This new scandal has been simmering for a long time, but has finally found its way into the media eventhough the MSM has got it all wrong as usual.  In 2010 Obama had the Department of Education take over the entire student loan and Pell grant programs, much of which had been administered through private banks.  Prior to Obama's takeover, the government had loans and grants outstanding of $100 billion.  Since the takeover, the amount has passed $1 trillion.  A division of the DOE administers the entire process, including the loans and Pell grants, which were now funded by taxpayers. In 2011 James Runcie was appointed COO of the program within the DOE and reappointed by Arne Duncan, Secretary of Education, for another 5 year term in 2015.

      The House Oversight Committee has requested that Runcie testify next week about the huge increase in fraudulent loans and Pell grants and mismanagement as has been pointed out by the DOE inspector general.  The purpose of the program was not only to break the economy, but had a political end as did most Obama programs.  By directly giving loans and grants to poor students and political supporters, he would assure voter loyalty.  (As you might image, this was the main reason behind free college in the last election, voter loyalty.)  For example, in 2014 it was found that over a billion dollars in grants were fraudulent and represented about 4% of those awarded.  Instead of investigating and improving this, the Obama administration merely changed the audit technique retroactively to keep the scheme going.  Runcie has been given a total of $420,000 in bonuses to keep his mouth shut and go along with this disastrous plan.  Rather than make changes to correct problems to improve the plan, Runcie has altered the rules to cover up the problems.
      Rather than than testify before Congress, Mr. Runcie has resigned, but sited differences with new Secretary of Education Betsy DuVos that he shared with the Washington Post, an arm of the Democrat Party and protector of Obama.  The mainstream media somehow has decided that the past 7 years of mismanagement is all the fault of DuVos (fake news). Elizabeth Warren, no stranger to huge lies, is blaming her too and wants an investigation into DuVos of all things.  Now Congress will have to subpoena Runcie who will probably pull a Lois Lerner and plead the Fifth.
      Without a smoking gun, I doubt if the link to Valerie Jarrett and Obama will be disclosed.  Runcie has testified before Congress before, and if there is now evidence to suggest that he lied to Congress, he could serve some jail time unless he would be more forthcoming and implicate a higher up like his previous immediate boss Arne Duncan.
      As usual, this is a story that you won't find somewhere else unless the mainstream media wants to continue to blame Betsy DuVos and notable liar and big mouth Elizabeth Warren actually gets her wish, sort of, but the investigation will be of Obama's DOE, not PresidentTrump's.

Hypocrisy and the Firing of Comey

      The mainstream media feigned shock when FBI director James Comes was fired this week.  Many of us who follow politics closely thought he should have been last July when he recommended not charging HRC with espionage and other crimes related to security even though she set up an unsecured private server to bypass transparency within the State Department and then erasing over 30,000 emails she claimed were personal.  Unfortunately we all know that those were the most damaging.  This was certainly reminiscent of the 18 minute gap in the Nixon tapes 45 years ago.  We all know that the Clintons are very good at making things disappear like the White Water billing records, the White House Travel Office ledger and most importantly the log of who checked out the FBI files on 1000 prominent Republicans.  At his July press conference, Comet laid out the case against Hillary Clinton carefully and methodically listing one crime after another and the various laws she had broken and lies she had told to the FBI and the public.  Then, amazingly, he said he didn't recommend indictment, as if that is his job.  Violation of national security doesn't include intent, especially when the intent was obviously purposeful. Justt ask the sailor who took a few pictures on board one of our submarines so he could show his children where he served and he got prison time.   The job of the Justice Department attorneys and Attorney General is to bring an indictment or at least call a grand jury.  AG Loretta Lynch, after being found to have met secretly with Bill Clinton on an airport tarmac in Phoenix, Arizona a few days before did not recuse herself, but wrongly seemed to delegated her duty to the FBI director rather than one of her attorneys.  Comey should have set her straight, but by then we knew the fix was in. Where was the call for an independent prosecutor then, as if Obama would ever appoint one.  His regime was so political that every scandal would have led back to Valerie Jarrett and him, if a special council had been appointed.
      Like the hypocrites that they are Chuckie Schumer and the Democrats are likening this to Nixon's firing of special prosecutor Archibald Cox and also calling for a special prosecutor.  Only a few months ago they were calling for replacing Comey and claimed he cost HRC the presidential election.  A large amount of evidence had been uncovered by Cox at the time and even his firing, as Nixon found out, wasn't going to make it go away.  In fact not a smidgen of evidence has surfaced that the Trump campaign and presidency has ever colluded with the Russians. Bill Clinton fired the Attorney General the day before Vince Foster committed suicide. (Was Foster afraid he would have to compromise himself to protect the Clintons.)  The Democrats only goals is to delegitimize the President and try and drag this out to the 2018 midterms to continue to push this stupid issue.  Any investigation is still on going, any evidence if there is any isn't going away so the Democrat concern is all for show with no substance.  Where was their outrage when Obama fired 90 attorneys that were appointed by Bush?
      Why did this happen now? The Democrats have only themselves to blame for taking so long to confirm Assistant Attorney General Rod Rosenstein when he was nominated to replace the  acting Attorney General Sally Yates as deputy Attorney General.  Attorney General Sessions has recused himself from the Russian investigation.   Rosenstein is the only Bush appointee to the Justice Department that was not fired by Obama and he served all eight years of Obama's regime. He was approved by 94 senators.  After reviewing Comey's job as director, he recommended firing him, because of problems with the Clinton investigation. Present Trump accepted the Justice Department recommendation.
      The collusion issue should end quickly and not drag on forever.  There is no evidence backing this and the FBI and Justice should say so. Whether the Russians tried to influence the election is another matter, and if they are behind Wikileaks so be it.  Wikileaks is merely a messenger.  If there was no message in Democrat campaign officials' emails there would be no Wikileaks involvement.  General Michael Flynn's name was not leaked by Wikileaks to the Washington Post after it was unveiled by Susan Rice. The FBI must carry out an investigation as to who was the leaker and have that person arrested and tried even if the investigation leads to Obama and/or Valerie Jarrett.
