Obama Admin Crimes?

Ratcliffe discussed his particularly scathing questioning of former special counsel Robert Mueller, claiming the Democrats have long denied President Trump a presumption of innocence notizen aus icloud herunterladen.

He promptly accused the administration under Barack Obama of having committed crimes, though, unlike the Democrats, declined to harpoon the presumption of innocence by citing specifics herunterladen.

“I’m not going to accuse any specific person of any specific crime, I just want there to be a fair process to get there,” Ratcliffe stated adobe flash player opera download kostenlos. “What I do know, as a former federal prosecutor, is that it does appear that there were crimes committed during the Obama administration.”

Where to Look

Ratcliffe discussed areas of the Russia investigation that Mueller claimed were not within his boundaries to look into. Despite seeking to identify collusion between Russia and an American campaign, the special counsel did not feel it relevant to analyze items such as the Steele dossier and the Hillary Clinton campaign’s role, James Comey’s leaks, Fusion GPS, or Bruce and Nellie Ohr blender 2.8 herunterladen.

The Trump nominee would like to see the Justice Department investigate.

“Now the things that Bob Mueller said he didn’t know about and his team clearly didn’t look at, those are things that would be fair for Bill Barr and the Department of Justice to look at,” Ratcliffe explained vtech download manager free games.

“We know that things happened in the Obama administration that haven’t been answered. There’s been no accountability for that yet.”

Ratcliffe also mentioned leaking of classified phone transcripts involving Michael Flynn.

“You talked earlier about Michael Flynn. His phone call with the Russian ambassador was a highly classified NSA intercept. Someone in the Obama administration leaked that call to the Washington Post. That’s a felony,” he said.

Ratcliffe Has Been Sounding the Alarm

Ratcliffe has, in the past, accused the Obama administration of giving the Justice Department stand down orders when it came to investigating Hillary.
