Somewhat difficult if they were programming the SS to off any future American patriots in the Office.

They wouldn’t want a patriotic, competent, loyal, or disciplined force then. They would want a corrupt one, one where they can blackmail and insert inside agents.

(Talk about unforced errors! How difficult is it to stay on the good side of the people sworn to take a bullet for you?? But President Obama has apparently done just that… and now their relationship is borderline adversarial, with the Secret Service barely managing to protect the President’s life, and the White House throwing them under the bus with nary a care.)

President Obama has long seemed to me to be an interesting sort — the kind of guy who never cares about stepping on his allies, because a few smiles and nice-sounding phrases will fix everything right up. (That’s how it’s always worked for him. The same sort of person usually believes in talking to one’s enemies, because they feel they can sweet-talk their way out of anything. Sound familiar?)

The problem is that, sooner or later, you burn one bridge too many… and find that you need an ally, but that ally is not returning your calls.

So that’s why the media focused on the cover up, because the actual scandal was manufactured, fake essentially.

With the left, you don’t need to manufacture fake scandals. Whatever evil people think the Leftist alliance does… doesn’t actually scratch the surface.

Brilliant post, Lizzy. Perfectly description of the most un-serious administration in US history.

If they’re willing to lean on, and even strong-arm, independent investigators over a meaningless nothingburger like this, what would they NOT try to cover up and silence?
