After it came out that Obama told Comey that he wanted to know everything about the Russian probe, many on the Right were outraged (rightfully so), but plenty of peeps on the Left seem to think it’s a nothing-burger.
Then again, Obama made fun of the Special Olympics, told Putin he’d be more flexible after the election and many other horrible things that the Left let slide because he was their guy, so it’s not surprising that so many of them are sitting with their thumbs up their butts over this.
Luckily Brit Hume is around to explain why Obama wanting to know everything is a big f’ing deal:
So why is it an issue that Obama “wants to know everything we’re doing” & had Comey brief him on Russia probe? Because Obama had said, “I do not talk to FBI directors about pending investigations…I guarantee it.” That quote is here—> https://t.co/oHXKJexu1z

Period, the end.
‘I do not talk to FBI directors about pending investigations … I guarantee it.’ – Obama
Wow.
Tell us another one, Barry.

Umm…
Who’s talking about the HRC investigation? I wasn’t. Read my tweet.
— Brit Hume (@brithume) February 7, 2018
Ouch.
Don’t you work for Fox News? Did you not read the article YOU posted which was talking about these texts being about the HRC investigation?

But Obama made a blanket statement that he did not talk to FBI directors about pending investigations. He did not limit that to any particular investigation.
— Brit Hume (@brithume) February 7, 2018
Nope.

That might have been a valid distinction if he had made it. He didn’t.
— Brit Hume (@brithume) February 7, 2018
He didn’t.
Counterintelligence operations are NOT investigations, so why would he even think he needed to make a distinction? Your premise that he lied is intentionally obtuse. Why don't you focus on figuring out the "why" for the BS that comes out of Trump's mouth on a daily basis?

Read James Comey’s testimony from last March at the link below. He calls his counterintelligence probe what it was/is: an investigation. https://t.co/MLabCCNiT6

As if they’ll read anything that isn’t written by CNN or HuffPost. Psh.
Haha, Brit. I remember when you used to be a real journalist. Good times, good times.

I still seem to be good enough that you follow me on Twitter. I can fix that for you. In fact, I just have.
— Brit Hume (@brithume) February 7, 2018
BOOMAGE.
Is it just us or do these people seem a teensy bit nervous about what’s coming out about their ‘not a smidgen of scandal’ Obama administration?
