Obama Needs To Account for Russia Investigation Former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy said Tuesday that the purpose of the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation launched against the Trump campaign in 2016 would have been for the benefit of then-President Barack Obama. Fox News host Bill Hemmer suggested to McCarthy — a 20-year veteran…U.S. attorney, who successfully led the prosecution against the “Blind Sheikh” (Omar Abdel Rahman) and other perpetrators of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing — that Obama had to be curious about the investigation. “I think more than curious,” McCarthy responded. He pointed out that counterintelligence investigations are “done for the president.” Ari Fleischer, former White House press secretary under George W. Bush, argued that with the release of the Mueller report showing no collusion, attention should shift to looking into the Obama administration’s decision to initiate the probe. The Wall Street Journal’s James Freeman in a piece titled, “Mueller and the Obama Accounting,” argued at a “bare minimum” Obama “owes the country an explanation.” He added that if House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler really wants to unearth scandalous conduct during the 2016 race, he should direct his attention away from Trump and his associates and toward the Obama administration.
