This is no means a comprehensive list. In fact, it is only the tip of the ice burg I'm sure. But here is a whole slew of offenses and Constitutional violations that the Swamp and press ignored.
Enjoy.
1. Use the IRS to target political opponents. And you guessed it, the servers were destroyed Hillary style, Obama refused to cooperate with the investigation, and after Conservatives won a legal battle for being targeted the records were sealed so no one could see the corruption.
2. Write Executive Orders that conflict with Federal law, he even wrote one to defy his own Obamacare by creating exemptions for his special little partisan hacks. In fact, he made 23 such unilateral changes to the law for his peeps.
3. Ignoring the War Powers Act by not contacting Congress after so many days at war and simply saying, "It's not really a war"
4. Bribing people within your own party not to run for election so that someone you like better can win the nomination and ratted out by your own party for doing it.
5. Getting on your self righteous juke box saying we need legislation to reduce the number of guns on the streets and then using taxpayer money to buy guns and secretly sell them to drug cartels across the border.
6. Use the NSA to spy on American citizens
7. Use the CIA to spy on US Congresmen
8. Secretly obtained phone records from Associated Press journalists
9. Signed the NDAA which gives the power to arrest US citizens without due process, a clear Constitutional violation.
10. Had 4 US citizens assassinated without due process. Only Ron Paul called for his impeachment over it.
11. After Boeing hired 1,000 new employees to work at its new factory in South Carolina in 2011, the Obama administration ordered the company to close it down because the factory was non-union
12 Fired Inspector General for discovering that Obama’s friend had embezzled government funds
13 Gave tax dollars to campaign contributors and lobbyists, and falsely claimed the money was for “green energy”
14 Had armed SWAT agents raid a law-abiding guitar factory because it was owned by a Republican
15 Late U.S. Senator Robert Byrd, a Democrat, expressed concerns that Obama’s dozens of czars appointed in 2009 might violate the U.S. Constitution because they were not approved by the U.S. Senate. Another Democrat, U.S. Senator Russ Feingold, shared a similar sentiment. Obama ignored them as did the press
16 Anti-war activists who helped elect Obama accused him of using the same “off-the-books” funding as his predecessor George W. Bush when the president requested over $83 billion from Congress for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq
17 Attorneys General from nine states listed 21 illegal acts which had been committed by the Obama administration and, you guessed it, ignored.
18. Obama’s 2012 campaign was fined $375,000 by the Federal Election Commission for violating campaign finance laws.
19. Kathleen Sebelius, Obama’s Secretary of Health and Human Services, was caught violating campaign finance laws in 2012, but despite federal law requiring Obama to fire her over the illegal activity, he refused to do so.
20. Obama nominated Bruce Heyman to be the ambassador to Canada in 2013 after Heyman raised more than $1 million for Obama
21 Obama asked contractors to disclose their political donations before bidding on federal contracts in 2011.
22. Asked Attorney General Eric Holder to investigate himself for lying under oath U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder lied under oath when he said he had nothing to do with monitoring the emails of Fox reporter James Rosen, even though his own signature on the search warrant. In response, Obama asked Holder to investigate himself!
23 Broke promise to end Bush’s surveillance of U.S. citizens who were not suspected of committing a crime
24 Obama, as a U.S. Senator, illegally used a taxpayer-financed trip to campaign for far-left presidential candidate Raila Odinga in Kenya’s 2006 elections.
25. During Israel’s 2015 elections, the Obama administration — led by Secretary of State John Kerry — illegally intervened when they attempted to defeat the reelection of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by covertly funneling State Department grants to opposition groups. The Obama administration detested Netanyahu due to his refusal to cave into Palestinian demands, a group that even refused to recognize the existence of Israel.
26. The government watchdog group, Judicial Watch, obtained government documents that “show the U.S. government has quietly spent millions of taxpayer dollars to destabilize the democratically elected, center-right government in Macedonia by colluding with leftwing, billionaire philanthropist George Soros.” Indeed, Obama’s ambassador to Macedonia, Jeff Baily, worked to funnel millions of dollars from the State Department and USAID to groups created by Soros which were, according to JW, working to overthrow the conservative government.
27. In 2011, Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, not only interfered politically in Libya but militarily as well, by orchestrating a series of policies designed to remove Muammar Gaddafi from power. While it would be a stretch to call Gaddafi a U.S. ally, he was cooperating with the U.S.A. in fighting Islamic extremists and had turned over all his WMDs to American officials. Western investment was flowing into Libya, the country was becoming more westernized and, most certainly, it was no longer a threat to the USA.
So as we can see, there are perks to owning the deep state and press.
