I assume this is the segment you're referring to? If so, it was an analogy that I understand but it went too far for my liking. A president (or a Senator like McCarthy) continuously attacking the press is dangerous over time, which is what (I believe) Obama was trying to say. It is different, however, from calling someone a Nazi or Nazi sympathizer without hard evidence, in which case I'd agree that all credibility would be lost.
Still, the U.S. has survived tough times before and will again, he noted, particularly mentioning the days of communist fighter Joseph McCarthy and former President Richard Nixon. But one reason the country survived is because it had a free press to ask questions, Obama added. Though he has problems with the media just like Trump has had, "what I understood was the principle that the free press was vital."

The danger is "grow(ing) complacent," Obama said. "We have to tend to this garden of democracy or else things could fall apart quickly."

That's what happened in Germany in the 1930s, which despite the democracy of the Weimar Republic and centuries of high-level cultural and scientific achievements, Adolph Hitler rose to dominate, Obama noted. "Sixty million people died. . . .So, you've got to pay attention. And vote."

Fox News host Tucker Carlson has obtained documents which reveal Aaron Zebley, considered to be Special Counsel Robert Mueller's "right hand man," defended Hillary Clinton IT staffer Justin Cooper - a Bill Clinton aide that installed the "private, illegal" server in the Clintons' Chappaqua home described by Politico as "jerry-rigged."


Take that in for a minute. A lawyer who played a defense role in the federal investigation into Hillary Clinton is now playing an offensive role in the federal investigation into President Trump. -Tucker Carlson

DOJ Launches Investigation Into Planned Parenthood Over Fetal Tissue Harvesting Practices
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has launched an investigation into Planned Parenthood's controversial fetal tissue practices following a December 2016 recommendation by the Judiciary Committee contained within a 63 page report on the subject, entitled: "Human Fetal Tissue Research: Context and Controversy."

The committee's report was prompted by a disturbing series of undercover videos released in 2015 by the Center for Medical Progress (CMP), which appeared to show Planned Parenthood negotiating with an operative over the price of fetal tissue.

In a letter seen by The Washington Examiner, DOJ Assistant AG for Legislative Affairs, Stephen Boyd, asks Judiciary Committee chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) for an unredacted version of the committee's report.

Assistant Attorney General for Legislative Affairs Stephen Boyd pursued the committee's request, formally asking Grassley and ranking member Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., on Thursday for the documents for investigative purposes and not for a formal legal proceeding, which he notes would need a Senate resolution.

Boyd explained that he is requesting the documents in order to further the department s ability to conduct a thorough and comprehensive assessment of that report based on the full range of information available." -Washington Examiner

After the videos were released, Planned Parenthood announced that they would stop receiving paymentsfor fetal tissue, while repeatedly stating that the facilities selling fetal tissue were only recovering their costs, to which Senator Grassley demanded the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) supply "[a] detailed accounting of the costs incurred by Planned Parenthood's provision of fetal tissue."

What Senator Grassley discovered is that every single Planned Parenthood affiliate ignored policies requiring them to use independent auditors to analyze the actual costs of fetal tissue transfers. In fact, there was virtually no oversight to Planned Parenthood's sales of fetal tissue to vendors who were profiting handsomely on the sale of individual parts.

While Planned Parenthood is allowed to sell fetal tissue samples under the law, the organization was only supposed to charge enough to recover the actual costs of harvesting a fetus. Senator Grassley said that the committee's investigation found enough evidence proving Planned Parenthood had violated the law by charging researchers higher-than-usual costs for transferred body parts and fetal tissue from abortions.

The Judiciary Committee's report also notes the exorbitant profits earned by some of the companies purchasing fetal tissue from Planned Parenthood. In one transaction, tissue buyer Advanced BIoscience Resources (ABR) provided logs and invoices showing a $60 payment for a 20-week-old fetus from Planned Parenthood, only to turn around and sell its individual parts for $2,275 to five separate customers - a markup of 3,791%.
perhaps the most interesting part of all this is that the person who deemed them fake is none other than:
The 2015 undercover sting on Planned Parenthood was conducted over a period of 30 months, with the CMP claiming that the videos were evidence of Planned Parenthood engaging in the illegal sale of fetal tissue. Glenn Simpson of Fusion GPS reviewed the videos and found them to be altered. CMP shot back, claiming the edits were of "bathroom breaks and waiting periods."


as always the only one duped was DHS the ( barely) useful idiot extraordinaire...

CNN Botches "Bombshell" Report "Proving" Collusion Between Trump Jr And Wikileaks

Image
Trump’s favorite fake news network has issued a correction to a Friday morning “exclusive” claiming that Donald Trump Jr. and other campaign staff received a directive from Wikileaks to download a trove of emails stolen from the DNC before those emails were made public. CNN initially claimed the Wikileaks email was dated Sept. 4 – ten days before the watchdog publicly released its filings.

As it turns out, the email was dated Sept. 14. The documents had actually been made publicly available earlier that day

still the countries dimmest bulbs continue their desperate delusional fantasies of impeachment...

Chris Matthews: Franken's Resignation Proves The Democratic Party Is 'Too Pure'
On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Hardball,” host Chris Matthews offered his own addled, positive spin from the fallout after the resignation of Minnesota senator Al Franken, saying, “The worst you can say about Democrats is they’re too pure.”

Matthews commented:

I don’t know how you can avoid the education in this. The worst you can say about Democrats is they’re too pure. And that’s a stupid thing to say. But that’s the worst thing you can say about them. These guys set too high a standard for public office. How’s that for an argument? My opponents, the party of my opposition, they set too high a standard. You know, come on. What do you think?

Exclusive: Taxpayers Paid $220K to Settle Case Involving Rep. Alcee Hastings
Former commission staffer alleged sexual harassment by Florida Democrat

The Treasury Department paid $220,000 in a previously undisclosed agreement to settle a lawsuit alleging sexual harassment that involved Florida Democrat Alcee L. Hastings, according to documents obtained by Roll Call.

Winsome Packer, a former staff member of a congressional commission that promotes international human rights, said in documents that the congressman touched her, made unwanted sexual advances, and threatened her job. At the time, Hastings was the chairman of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, where Packer worked.
hastings goes on to plead ignorance but there remains the fact that a settlement was paid out...

CNN And WaPo Working On 20-40 Sexual Misconduct Stories
Meanwhile, Senator and former Clinton running mate Tim Kaine (D-VA) thinks Franken's resignation sets a new precedent. As Vanity Fair notes:

Given that Congress’s Office of Compliance—the only recourse staffers have to report abuse—is all but explicitly designed to protect lawmakers, a reckoning over sexual harassment on Capitol Hill is long overdue. Democrats, unlike Republicans, are mostly cheering the sea change, even as some wonder whether Franken’s resignation may have set a harsh new precedent. “This does establish a new standard for this body,” Senator Tim Kaine told reporters on Thursday. “And that standard is: behavior before you were elected is fair game for determining whether you should be here.” He added, “If that’s the standard, we have to be committed to trying to apply that in an evenhanded way.”
gee I wonder where he's going with that? :roll:
An interesting comment by Kaine... Now that the Russiagate investigation appears to be stalling out and Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team revealed to be highly politicized and stacked with several anti-Trump investigators, it's apparently time for the President's enemies to shift the narrative again - as several Trump accusers are holding a press conference Monday morning to call for a congressional investigation into sexual misconduct.

being nothing but mindless slaves to their ideology the (barely) useful idiot class never tires of this ruse ...

FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe abruptly cancelled his closed door testimony in front of the House Intelligence Committee as news emerged that the wife of Senior DOJ official Bruce Ohr worked for Fusion GPS, the opposition research firm which assembled the infamous "Trump dossier." Ohr was demoted last week after allegedly trying to conceal his contacts with Fusion.
Of note, House Intel Committee chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) announced last week that they were prepared to hold McCabe and assistant Attorney General Rod Rosenstein in contempt for the DOJ's failure to comply with a previous subpoena. He also accused the FBI and the DOJ of willfully refusing to comply with an Aug. 24 subpoena in part by refusing the committee's request "for an explanation of Peter Strzok's dismissal from the Mueller probe."

In a surprisingly frank interview, the CIA's Michael Morell - who was longtime Deputy Director and former Acting Director of the nation's most powerful intelligence agency - said that it wasn't a great idea to leak against and bash a new president.

.I think he just sexually harassed Senator Kristen Gillibrand.


“Lightweight Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a total flunky for Chuck Schumer and someone who would come to my office ‘begging’ for campaign contributions not so long ago (and would do anything for them), is now in the ring fighting against Trump,” Trump tweeted. “Very disloyal to Bill & Crooked-USED!”
