Dershowitz: “President Obama Personally Asked the FBI to Investigate Somebody on Behalf of George Soros”
Evidence of this, Dershowitz states, “will be disclosed in a lawsuit at some point”
Despite former Attorney General Eric Holder referring to himself in that role as then-president Obama’s “wingman,” Democrats have been swooning for the nearest fainting couch over a few tweets from President Trump regarding the Roger Stone sentencing recommendation. They claim to be outraged because Trump, they screech, is undermining DOJ independence.
Back in 2013, when rumors were swirling that Holder might leave the top spot at Justice, he confidently asserted that “I’m still enjoying what I’m doing, there’s still work to be done. I’m still the President’s wing-man, so I’m there with my boy.” Not a peep from Democrats about DOJ independence then. Of course. Likewise, there was no outcry over the pre-planned “tarmac summit” between Holder’s replacement Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton during the FBI’s investigation of Hillary Clinton’s email server.
Complicating Democrats’ set of double standards—one for Obama, another for Trump—is a new allegation that “Obama personally asked the FBI to investigate somebody on behalf of George Soros.” Alan Dershowitz made the allegation Sunday.
Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz said Sunday he has proof that former President Barack Obama “personally asked” the FBI to investigate someone “on behalf of George Soros,” the liberal billionaire megadonor.
Dershowitz’s claim came soon after Attorney General Bill Barr openly asked President Trump to stop tweeting about ongoing Justice Department matters, saying it made it “impossible” to do his job. Barr, who also maintained that Trump never personally intervened in a criminal matter, was hit last week by a letter from former DOJ officials organized by a leftwing group demanding his resignation.
“There was a lot of White House control of the Justice Department during the Kennedy administration and I don’t think we saw very many liberal professors arguing against that,” Dershowitz said in an interview with Breitbart News that aired Sunday on SiriusXM. “I have some information as well about the Obama administration – which will be disclosed in a lawsuit at some point, but I’m not prepared to disclose it now – about how President Obama personally asked the FBI to investigate somebody on behalf of George Soros, who was a close ally of his.” He did not say specifically who the target might have been.
. . . . Dershowitz added: “We’ve seen this kind of White House influence on the Justice Department virtually in every Justice Department. The difference: This president is much more overt about it, he tweets about it. President Obama whispered to the Justice Department about it. And, I don’t think these 1,000 former Justice Department officials would pass the shoe-on-the-other-foot test. Maybe some of them would, but a good many of them wouldn’t.”
Constitutionally, Dershowitz said, the president “could make a decision to really control the Justice Department” and decide specifically whom to prosecute and not to prosecute. The former member of Trump’s impeachment defense team clarified, however, that it wouldn’t be a good move.
“He shouldn’t do it; it hasn’t been done since Thomas Jefferson,” Dershowitz said. “Thomas Jefferson did do it. We’ve seen this throughout our history.”

Yes, and Schiff had solid proof of Trumps collusion with Russia. Either he has nothing or he has a death wish.
Professor Dershowitz is obviously a racist white nationalist homophobic deplorable.
You forgot to mention that he must not be that intelligent, since he is supporting Trump and going against St. Obama.
Hey, wasn’t Bobby Kennedy, you know, the attorney general during JFK’s presidency, the most independent AG evah?
That didn’t work out well for either of them.
Ouch
I was hoping it would have a name. The man was a competitor to Soros gas concerned in Ukraine. Alans not the first person to come up with this information.
Soros’ is the organ grinder, and obama was his monkey.
The depth of this is a lot worse than most of us can even imagine.
Any mention of monkeys or apes in the same context as a black person is automatically racist. Any negative mention of Soros is automatically antisemitic. At least those seem to be the current rules; they are subject to change at any moment and without notice, with retroactive effect.
Those days are over.
Good riddance to them.
The organ grinder/monkey can be equally applied to any race … rather use the concept of fellow travaller/lackey in this case.
Organ grinder monkeys across the world are probably insulted by the comparison.
In any event, obama was the ultimate OGM, and a shill for the greatest fraud in world history.
The bullet we dodged because of hillary clinton’s incompetence – and PDJT’s greatness – was aimed right at the heart of our country. That bullet would have killed our way of life.
NEVER FORGET
What is meant when we say “pre-planned”? Did Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch know about this at least 24 hours in advance?

That’s what Christopher Sign, author of the new book “Secret on the Tarmac” writes.
Ah… either it was pre-planned or major impropriety. But we must forgive .. and anyway… that’s in the past.. only the “now” matters… unless it’s the past with Trump.. correct?
Meetings like that don’t happen by accident. Their Secret Service details need advance time to prepare for the meetings and develop security plans.
There’s no reason two people with secret service protection can’t just happen to land at the same airport at the same time. Whether it did in this case is a different question.
What a silly comment.
It means pre-planned as opposed to post-planned.
That’s what some people are alleging, but as far as I know there is no evidence for it at all. The link takes you to an article about revelations that the media conspired after the event to cover it up, but despite the headline it gives no evidence at all that the meeting was planned in advance, and on the contrary it seems to show that it was not. From the information presented in that article it seems that each parties’ secret service team was surprised to find the other there, and that is when they arranged the meeting. Of course there may be other evidence that has emerged since then.
So instead of meeting in the first degree it was in the second degree. Still very improper but then some Presidents and former Presidents are more equal than others. Saying “no” would have elevated Lynch in many eyes.
Trump should order Barr to prosecute Lying Crooked Hillary for selling the favors of her office for hundreds of millions in donations to her slush fund, mishandling classified information and obstruction of justice.
He should appoint a special counsel, to by-pass the treason in the justice department. Either that, or mass-fire the human garbage put in place by obama/jarrett/soros.
Surely you mean investigate, with a view to prosecuting if convincing evidence is found before the statute of limitations runs out.
What is left to investigate?
Her destruction of evidence alone would put her away for life, let alone her other acts of criminality and treason.
“He shouldn’t do it; it hasn’t been done since Thomas Jefferson,” Dershowitz said.
Interesting, I’m not familiar with that incident.
Probably something to do with Aaron Burr, if I’m not mistaken.
Yeah, I’m sure there was nothing wrong with two brothers being the President and Attorney General. Very separate and independent DOJ there…
They turned on the mob that elected JFK with Illinois and that their father had been a part of running booze.
“I’m sure there was nothing wrong with two brothers being the President and Attorney General.”

Perhaps at the time, that wasn’t a bad thing. I suspect that RFK was also doing a lot of “President” work, also. After JFK’s death, the medical information that was released showed that JFK was severely compromised by his Addison’s disease and by the narcotics, barbiturates, amphetamines, etc. that he was taking to manage his back pain.
IMO, the elevation of JFK to Camelot Sainthood resulted in RFK being relegated to minor status and really p*ssed off RFK’s family.
Read Roger Stone’s book:
The Man Who Killed Kennedy: The Case Against LBJ:
https://www.amazon.com/Man-Who-Killed-Kennedy-Against/dp/1629144894
A LOT of the book is devoted to the Kennedy brothers.
(Epstein is not mentioned. He killed himself like Kennedy shot himself)
If the President was not meant to exercise some oversight over DOJ,
1) Why is DOJ located in the Executive Branch, and
2) Why doe the President have the power to grant clemency?
No one honest would argue that.
So the term “lawsuit” suggests to me (IANAL) a personal injury type suit – brought by Trump I imagine? Or does “lawsuit” mean charge/indictment and prosecution brought by the state against law-breakers?
I hate to bring this up again but with the msm in the DNC’s back pocket, there will NEVER be a major Dem figure scandal AGAIN! To have a scandal the msm must be the conduit that makes it one. NOTHING the left does will rise to that level again for the msm to write about it. Just look at the last three years and the previous eight. Podesta, Craig, hillary, Holder, Lynch, obama all guilty of lying to the Congress and the FBI yet not one of them was prosecuted. Papadopolous, Manafort, Flynn, Stone were all charged and convicted from a hoax investigation with the most extreme judge in DC. Podesta was Manafort’s partner but got immunity.
When the 4th Estate becomes part of the scam, all we have left is our political party.
The GOP is a house of cards, one election away from running back to the bosom of the swamp, happy to do its bidding.
Until we starve the likes of romney etc out of it, we can’t rest – not for a second.
A president making decisions about who to investigate or prosecute does not make those decisions political and the AG making those decisions does not make them non-political. The question is whether reasonable legal standards are being followed and then, must crucially for the question of politicization, whether these standards are being applied equally regardless of political affiliation.
Ironic that our mainstream radical left is attacking Trump for condemning blatant DOJ politicization on the part of radically politicized Obama-holdovers. The left is effectively screaming that politicization is good when they do it and must not be interfered with.
Why Barr finds it difficult to defend Trump’s criticism of politicization is a mystery. Why not just admit that his department is still shot through with partisan Democrat “resistors” who are determined to resist the electoral will of The People as expressed in the election of Donald Trump and this this is indeed a problem that he is working on, trying to drain his part of “the swamp”?
After all, Barr DID just have to fire or accept the resignations of four rogue prosecutors. He should just say: “yeah, those guys needed to go, especially after they LIED to me about their sentencing plans. The President’s criticism of those four bad apples just shows that he is paying attention. My bad for not weeding them out sooner so I’ll be paying more attention to the ‘swamp’ problem going forward. ”
Don’t be afraid to make the radical leftists cry. They are going to cry anyway. Just make sure they have to suffer the actual pain of having their politicized prosecutors thrown out.
STOP the hearsay BLABBING and GET DOJ to carry it further???! I have
said RICO soro’s ANYWAY possible!
