Former President Barack Obama said on Friday that he was “worried” by the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) decision to drop the charges against former national security adviser Michael Flynn this week after Attorney General William Barr said that “there was not a legitimate counterintelligence investigation going on.”
“The news over the last 24 hours I think has been somewhat downplayed — about the Justice Department dropping charges against Michael Flynn,” Obama said. “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.

Note also that Michael Isikoff's Twitter account provides the clip. Unseal his too.

The "Rule of law" was out the window from 2008 thru 2016. Please go away. Far away-say Kenya and be sure to take the missus.

What a crock. Hussein didn't seem too worried about the rule of law being broken when he and his crew were busy breaking it themselves.

Well, well, well. Look who's talking about a legitimate investigation. The biggest corrupt lying thug foreigner of them all. Afraid the Barr/Durham investigation is going to suck you in Barry? Still ticked that your glorious 8 years of destruction is still being destroyed? Tough.

No, it is exactly the opposite.
The rule of law is being reinstated. The coup plotters need to be arrested. Sadly, that won't include the instigator....Obama.

The "Great Deflector" and Apologist may be feeling the heat of What Did Obama Know and When Did He Know It? Time to unzip that mouth for some obfuscation.
This is the President who regards the Constitution as a "document of negative liberties." If Barr "rounds up the usual suspects," Obama is sure to be in that bunch of seditionists.

I shouldn't be drinking coffee when reading headlines like that. Worried about the "rule of law"? Now that is a knee slapper.

Got to translate all the bullschiff. 'Rule of Law', to him, means, "I have control of who goes to jail if they cross me".

This was a well planned conspiracy; joint effort by the Clintons and the Obama Administration. I want to see justice. Major indictments of political figures during 2008 and 2016 need to be reopened and investigated.

This from someone who began his political career by lawlessly having his opponents' sealed divorce records opened. Another instance of, "The Rule of Law is for thee, but not for me."

So, obumbum, no one that’s ever been charged with perjury has ever been found innocent?
If true, that’s concerning. Maybe they pleaded guilty under threat of having their children persecuted.

Will the First Black President Of The United States end up going to jail? That must be the thought that's going round & round in Obie's mind right about now. I think he should be in jail. Anyone else?

Who tapped Rosens phone? Who's WH did Lois Lerner work for? Who works for the law firm that first represented Flynn (Holder)? Who's JDH did Comey, McCabe, Stryok, Page work for? Who placed Fox News in a separate room? Who did 1800 executive orders? Who gave billions in cash to Iran? Who tried to destroy Israel? Who tried to interfere with the elections in Israel, Egypt, UK? What president was given a 10000000% free pass by the corrupt press?

The next set of records which should be unsealed are Smidgen’s own - from the time of his birth to the day he waltzed into the White House. His entire life has been a fraud and if he’s breathing, he’s lying.

Is this Barry's idea of a joke? The EPA, FBI, IRS were turned into toys for his exclusive amusement. Obamacare was the worst abuse of Constitutional rights since Slick used Janet Reno to order an attack on a building full of children and burn it to the ground. This jug-eared fruit bat is really getting annoying lately.

Seriously? This may be the biggest examplel of Obama hypocrisy ever:
“The news over the last 24 hours I think has been somewhat downplayed — about the Justice Department dropping charges against Michael Flynn,” Obama said. “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.”
He’s “worried”? He probably is. But not about the rule of law as it applied to General Fly.nn. Rather, as it will apply to him...

The rule of law is just fine, YOUR interpretation of 'rule of law' is straight out of the Communist Manifesto!

"no precedent that anybody can find for someone who has been charged with perjury just getting off scot-free"
On the contrary, there are many instances of people being wrongly accused of all sorts of crimes, even convicted, and then exonerated when either the evidence falls apart or their is prosecutorial malfeasance, BOTH of which is true in the Flynn case.
BO is getting desperate as his foot soldiers are being exposed and brought down. The searchlights are shining in his direction and are showing his involvement and awareness. We are not yet at the point of finding him directing illegal operations but the hints are strongly there. How do multiple people in multiple agencies all coordinate in corrupt activities? Someone was in charge. BO obviously had top level awareness to the point of shutting Trump and his team out of some information. What marching orders were his people given? Is it provable?

Jonathan Turley easily provided precedent that Barry lies and says there isn't one.
@JonathanTurley
President Obama is being quoted on Flynn, saying "There is no precedent that anybody can find for someone who has been charged with perjury just getting off scot-free." It is a curious statement. First and foremost, Flynn was not charged with perjury. Second, we now know Obama discussed charging Flynn under the Logan Act which has never been used successfully to convict anyone and is flagrantly unconstitutional. Third, this reaffirms reports that Obama was personally invested in this effort. Finally, there is precedent. There is a specific rule allowing for this motion under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 48(a). There are specific Supreme Court cases like Rinaldi v. United States addressing the standard for such dismissals. The Justice Department has dismissed cases in the past including the Stevens case.That was requested by President Obama's own Attorney General Eric Holder for the same reason: misconduct by prosecutors. It was done before the same judge, Judge Sullivan. How is that for precedent?

"no precedent that anybody can find for someone who has been charged with perjury just getting off scot-free"
Being charged implies penalties? It used to require getting justly CONVICTED. The rule of law did not apply when Zippy occupied the white house; only the rule of Obama applied, Mister "I've got a phone and a pen".
Yet more Democrat projection,

Obama's rule of law is stated in the Obama Doctrine - Ruling class liberals are entitled to ignore any law with which they disagree.
