WASHINGTON — Former President Barack Obama, talking privately to former members of his administration, said Friday that the “rule of law is at risk” in the wake of what he called an unprecedented move by the Justice Department to drop charges against former White House national security adviser Michael Flynn.
“And the fact that there is no precedent that anybody can find for someone who has been charged with perjury just getting off scot-free. That’s the kind of stuff where you begin to get worried that basic — not just institutional norms — but our basic understanding of rule of law is at risk. And when you start moving in those directions, it can accelerate pretty quickly as we’ve seen in other places.
Story continuesStill, Obama’s unvarnished remarks were some of his sharpest yet about the Trump administration and appeared to forecast a dramatically stepped-up political role he intends to play in this year’s election. The comments came during a lengthy chat in which he also sharply criticized the response to the coronavirus pandemic, blaming it on the “tribal” trends that have been stoked by the president and his allies.

KenDilanianNBC Isikoff Obama needs to say all this shit OUT LOUD, using the biggest, loudest, boldest megaphone he can. Joe Biden's name may be the one on the ballot but make no mistake. This election is ObamaVTrump.

KenDilanianNBC Isikoff He is panicking. Everything he did is going to come out. Shame on Obama for doing what he did to GenFlynn
Isikoff I wish the MSM would let him go away, never to be heard from or thought about again. Those were a dark 8yrs in the United States. TRUMP2020
Isikoff Trying to delegitimize the AG because he knows he is a worthless crooked piece of manure. He is scared! As he should be.
Isikoff
jacoker2 Isikoff Judge Sullivan needs to protect the law and sentence Michael Flynn to prison.
KenDilanianNBC Isikoff ObamaKnewEverything
KenDilanianNBC Isikoff Sad thing there, nothing can't even be done right now. Maybe they all need to just resign and that isn't going to do anything. But cause more damage. Quagmire
KenDilanianNBC Isikoff 'That's the idea,' responds criminal Attorney General Barr.
Isikoff He is just so concerned about the rule of law. You can even hear it in his trembling voice.
Isikoff He probably should have thought about that while he was president lol
Isikoff obummer WAS the WORST PRESIDENT of the US and will go down in the US history books that way!!! US CITIZENS RIGHTS were in JEOPARDY while this was in the PEOPLES' HOUSE!!! LOOKING SOOO FORWARD TO JOHN DURHAM'S INVESTIGATION!!!
Isikoff coming from the man who divided this nation by race, use the IRS against conservatives, covered up illegal wiretaps and botched the virus response during his administration
Isikoff You'll find a more complete and less subjective look at events in The Epoch Times.
Isikoff Says the man who set up innocent people
Isikoff Trump and his followers are racists that sold us out to the Ruskies and Saudis he is an insult to me as a vetetan he does not represent me and any veteran who supports him should tear up their dd214
Isikoff Not only at risk but actually violated, by you, Mr. President, and your thugs at the FBI and the DOJ. And while they violated it, they kept you informed about it.
Isikoff
Isikoff The rule of law was at risk under his presidency while very many criminal acts were committed under his administration!! & if those criminals who worked fro Obama are not prosecuted, he's right... rule of law is threatened.But then democrats don't follow rule of law.
Isikoff CYA
Isikoff He is right. Obama crapped all over the 'rule of law'.
Isikoff Can Obama be Vice President? If he could, joe wins in a landslide.
Isikoff He's just saying that because he's been caught..What a legacy...

Styx-Renegade Lyrics “The jig is up, the news is out They finally found me The renegade who had it made Retrieved for a bounty Nevermore to go astray The judge will have revenge today On the wanted man”
yep we are finding out just how corrupt the Obama administration is/was
He must have forgot Hillary as a precedent.
Thank you Mr president POTUS44 the real POTUS
The most corrupt president in US history is speaking out in a panic. Priceless.
🤣🤣🤣🤣Private. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Obama feeling the Heat
Serpico had to Go
KeithOlbermann You got caught BarackObama and now you’re trying to get your minions to back you!! Your legacy won’t be exactly what you thought it’d be, Mr. President. YouBuiltThis
KeithOlbermann 1). He weaponized the FBI/DOJ/NSA to literally spy on a campaign. 2). Leaked unverified contents of the Steele Dossier to the Media. 3). Targeted Flynn for political purposes. Read the transcripts...it’s all there. And it all leads back to Person 1.
Obama 🙄G I T M O
KeithOlbermann Yes the rule of law that he the is most corrupt president in the USA and expected his corrupt people to prosecute people who could expose his corruption.
KeithOlbermann Right. And you and your cronies put it there. JusticeIsFinallyComing
No no and no
Who put the rule of law at risk, barry?
Hahaha, isikoff is the asshole that started this coup in the first place. Obama and his goons must pay Isikoff a ton of money to run propaganda for them. Would be incredible if Barr just arrested everyone involved in that coup, including Obama.
What’s at risk is your Orange Jump Suit BarackObama
Of course he would say that, he got caught. These FBI agents orchestrated this set up At the behest of Obama’s administration.
thank god this dolt is out of office 😂
Whose yacht is he sheltering in place on this weekend?
In audio obtained by Isikoff, the Flynn case was invoked by Obama as a principal reason that his former administration officials needed to make sure former Vice President Joe Biden wins the November election against President Trump.
It was the right thing to do.
