Examine Fatouros Deep State Posts

John R. Houk, Blog Editor
© April 16, 2018


I found two posts from  Dee Fatouros on her blog The Realistic Observer which were actually cross posts themselves. Typically, I shy away from cross posting Fatouros blogs because she promotes in many of the same circles that I run in. I gotta tell ya, the info on these posts are extremely relevant yet you will not hear the details on the Leftist Mainstream Media (MSM). If you hear or read it, the actual data will be twisted, informers vilified and/or issue downright lies exonerating the Deep State actors.

Here’s the thing, the data presented on the two posts are actually sourced from actual entities rather than the infamous “anonymous source”. The most relevant source being the Inspector General’s (IG) very recently released report examining probable criminality in the DOJ and FBI from Obamanites before and after the election of President Trump. This report centers on Andrew McCabe nefarious activities and is entitled, “A Report of Investigation of Certain Allegations Relating to Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe”. Here’s a link to a Fox News upload of the report to Scribd.

Fatouros’ cross posts are from (in order of date) DC Whispers and The Last Refuge. I’m using The Realistic Observer version in my cross post because that is how I discovered them.

The Last Refuge post links to a Youtube video that is recommended to go viral because of the important info therein. I liked the roughly 15-minute video so much that I am sharing the actual video on my blog. Mysteriously to me, the audio unceremoniously terminates as if there was more to be said roughly two-minutes before the end of the full length.

 IG Report Outlines How Obama DOJ Worked To Shut Down Investigation Into Clinton Crime Syndicate 
Posted on April 14, 2018

Lost in the haze of the Syria bombing, the Establishment Media’s purposeful ignorance, and the ongoing ripples following the stunning FBI raid on the offices of President Trump’s longtime attorney, is the scathing outline by the Inspector General regarding how the Obama Department of Justice aggressively shut down what was to be a widespread investigation into the Clinton Foundation looking into allegations of widespread financial crimes.

Talk about obstruction of justice!

Judicial Watch’s Tom Fitten [sic] caught the Clinton Foundation information within the IG report and is doing his best to get the word out even as the Establishment Media covers the eyes and ears of the American public in order to keep that information largely unknown:


There were rank and file FBI agents said to be increasingly frustrated that their efforts to investigate the Clinton Crime Syndicate were being halted at every turn. This move to insulate the Clintons (and likely the Obama White House) from damage was overseen at the highest levels of the FBI and Obama DOJ. These same high-level Deep State figures are the very same ones who have been orchestrating the ongoing attacks against President Trump – attacks that likely continue to be orchestrated by the Obama/Jarett Machine with input from the Clintons. (Like what took place during the secret tarmac meeting between then Obama AG Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton. Top officials at the FBI refuse to hand over documents regarding that meeting due to their being “highly classified” even though both Lynch and Clinton claim they just talked about the weather and their grandkids.)

The Deep State continues to believe it controls the narrative. It’s up to all of you to prove them wrong.

Trail of James Comey’s Dirt on Loretta Lynch Discovered Within IG Report on Andrew McCabe…
Posted on April 15, 2018 by sundance [The Last Refuge]

A very interesting development is unfolding as a result of internet researcher TracyBeanz [Twitter HERE – YouTube HERE] and some insightful dot connecting by those following.

The outline begins via a relatively under-reported accusation about former Attorney General Loretta Lynch by former FBI Director James Comey in his upcoming book.


According to ABC News Comey writes in “A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies and Leadership,” that he became the public face of the investigation partly because of a mysterious development which he felt could cast “serious doubt” on Lynch’s independence.

“Had it become public, the unverified material would undoubtedly have been used by political opponents to cast serious doubt on the attorney general’s independence in connection with the Clinton investigation,” Comey writes, according to ABC. He calls the material a “development still unknown to the American public to this day.” (ABC Link)

It seems rather odd for James Comey to be making such an accusation against Loretta Lynch in the book. Why add that aspect? ..and why do so without expanding the details?

Well, keep in mind, that at the time the book was written, Mr. Comey had no idea exactly where the ongoing Inspector General investigation might lead; nor did he know the timing of release. Hence, the notation without expanded citation is likely explained.

However, with part of the OIG report released, within the Andrew McCabe background there’s a trail of evidence to the AG involvement James Comey was eluding toward.

On page six of the IG report (point number 4) we find a conference call between Loretta Lynch, Andrew McCabe and the FBI field office in New York where the subject of the Weiner/Abedin/Clinton laptop findings overlap with: the Clinton Foundation (CF) investigation; the Clinton Email investigation; pressure for Asst. Director McCabe to recuse himself, and Washington DC via Loretta Lynch using DOJ Main Justice leverage from the Eric Garner case against the NY FBI office and New York Police Department.

From the OIG report:

4. The Attorney General Expresses Strong Concerns to McCabe and other FBI Officials about Leaks, and McCabe Discusses Recusing Himself from CF Investigation (October 26)

McCabe told the OIG that during the October 2016 time frame, it was his “perception that there was a lot of information coming out of likely the [FBI’s] New York Field Office” that was ending up in the news. McCabe told the OIG that he “had some heated back-and-forths” with the New York Assistant Director in Charge (“NY-ADIC”) over the issue of media leaks.

On October 26, 2016, McCabe and NY-ADIC participated in what McCabe described as “a hastily convened conference call with the Attorney General who delivered the same message to us” about leaks, with specific focus being on leaks regarding the high-profile investigation by FBI’s New York Field Office into the death of Eric Garner. McCabe told us that he “never heard her use more forceful language.” NY-ADIC confirmed that the participants got “ripped by the AG on leaks.”

According to NY-ADIC’s testimony and an e-mail he sent to himself on October 31, McCabe indicated to NY-ADIC and a then-FBI Executive Assistant Director (“EAD”) in a conversation after Attorney General Lynch disconnected from the call that McCabe was recusing himself from the CF Investigation.

(Page #6 and #7 – IG Report Link)

What makes this explosive is the timing and how reporting in 2016 was explaining this specific call and the outcome therein.

On September 28th, 2016, Andrew McCabe was made aware of information the New York Police Department and FBI has obtained from a captured laptop belonging to Huma Abedin and Anthony Weiner. The laptop was evidence in the Weiner “sexting” case involving a minor; however, the laptop also contained thousands of State Department documents from Hillary Clinton and her aide Huma Abedin, Weiner’s wife.

Some of the extracted laptop evidence was turned over to the DOJ Southern District of New York (SDNY) where Preet Bharara, a Clinton-Lynch ally, is United States Attorney.

Text messages between FBI Agent Peter Strzok (Inbox) and FBI Special Counsel to Andrew McCabe, Lisa Page (Outbox):


[The letter to “Congress” at the end of the text exchange relates to notification of the re-opening of the Clinton investigation – Actual date of notification 10/28/16]

According to later reporting, FBI Director James Comey was not notified of the laptop issues for two to three weeks, after 9/28/16. However, in late October and early November, there were reports from people with contacts in New York police and FBI, about Washington DOJ officials interfering with the Weiner laptop investigation.

On the same date (October 26th, 2016) as the Lynch, McCabe and NY FBI phone call, former NY Mayor Rudy Giuilani [sic] was telling Fox News that an explosive development was forthcoming. Two days later, October 28th, 2016, Congress was notified of the additional Clinton emails.

However, a few more days later, November 4th, 2016, an even more explosive development as Erik Prince appeared on radio and outlined discoveries within the Huma Abedin/Anthony Weiner laptop that was being blocked by AG Lynch.

Prince claimed he had insider knowledge of the investigation that could help explain why FBI Director James Comey had to announce he was reopening the investigation into Clinton’s email server last week.

“Because of Weinergate and the sexting scandal, the NYPD started investigating it. Through a subpoena, through a warrant, they searched his laptop, and sure enough, found those 650,000 emails. They found way more stuff than just more information pertaining to the inappropriate sexting the guy was doing,” Prince claimed.

“They found State Department emails. They found a lot of other really damning criminal information, including money laundering, including the fact that Hillary went to this sex island with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Bill Clinton went there more than 20 times. Hillary Clinton went there at least six times,” he said

“The amount of garbage that they found in these emails, of criminal activity by Hillary, by her immediate circle, and even by other Democratic members of Congress was so disgusting they gave it to the FBI, and they said, ‘We’re going to go public with this if you don’t reopen the investigation and you don’t do the right thing with timely indictments,’” Prince explained.

“I believe – I know, and this is from a very well-placed source of mine at 1PP, One Police Plaza in New York – the NYPD wanted to do a press conference announcing the warrants and the additional arrests they were making in this investigation, and they’ve gotten huge pushback, to the point of coercion, from the Justice Department, with the Justice Department threatening to charge someone that had been unrelated in the accidental heart attack death of Eric Garner almost two years ago. That’s the level of pushback the Obama Justice Department is doing against actually seeking justice in the email and other related criminal matters,” Prince said. (Link)

An earlier Grand Jury in New York had refused to return an indictment against the police in the Garner case. As an outcome of that grand jury finding, and as an outcome of their own investigation, the local FBI office and Eastern District of New York DOJ office was not trying to pursue criminal charges against the NYPD officers involved. This created a dispute because federal prosecutors and FBI officials in New York opposed bringing charges, while prosecutors with the Civil Rights Division at the Justice Department in Washington argued there was clear evidence to do so.

On October 25th, 2016, Loretta Lynch replaced the New York prosecutors:

New York Times (Oct. 25) – The Justice Department has replaced the New York team of agents and lawyers investigating the death of Eric Garner, officials said, a highly unusual shake-up that could jump-start the long-stalled case and put the government back on track to seek criminal charges.

With that move on Oct. 25th, 2016, AG Lynch was now in position to threaten criminal prosecutions against the NYPD, and repercussions against the NY FBI and EDNY using the Garner case as leverage, just like Erik Prince outlined in the phone interview above.

Additionally, we see confirmation from the IG report, the Garner case was brought up in the next day (Oct 26, 2016) phone call to the NY FBI field office; just as Erik Prince outlined. Obviously Prince’s sources were close to the events as they unfolded.

The NY FBI and Eastern District of New York (EDNY) were threatened by Washington DC Main Justice and FBI, via Loretta Lynch and Andrew McCabe to drop the Clinton/Abedin/Weiner laptop investigation matters, or else the Garner DOJ Civil Rights Division would be used as leverage against the NYPD. And Loretta Lynch had SDNY U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara as the enforcer waiting for her call.

And so it was…

“Had it become public, the unverified material would undoubtedly have been used by political opponents to cast serious doubt on the attorney general’s independence in connection with the Clinton investigation,” Comey writes, according to ABC. He calls the material a “development still unknown to the American public to this day.” (ABC Link)


Additionally, this excerpt from the Comey book is laughable:

“I never heard anyone on our team — not one — take a position that seemed driven by their personal political motivations. And more than that: I never heard an argument or observation I thought came from a political bias. Never,” Comey writes in his book. “Instead we debated, argued, listened, reflected, agonized, played devil’s advocate, and even found opportunities to laugh as we hashed out major decisions.” (LINK)

Lastly, I cannot help but be reminded of a post-election event where an FBI official from the same NY field office had her vehicle broken into and a laptop stolen which included “National Security information”. Everything was recovered, except the laptop.

Um, hey everyone, the Eric Garner case was handled by the EDNY. I was in the SDNY. Nice try @Barnes_Law https://t.co/3niXJHRbke

— Preet Bharara (@PreetBharara) April 15, 2018

@PreetBharara I don't think you are looking at this right. AG Lynch was threatening to take the case and give it to you. YOU were the threat Lynch was using against the EDNY [who she (and McCabe) saw as a risk]. So what does that say about you? https://t.co/IFbZSbNZNJ

Crooked Hillary, Trump, Obama & U.S. Intelligence


John R. Houk
© January 11, 2017

Crooked Hillary lost and Donald Trump won to become the President Elect until January 20 when the Donald gets to say, “You’re Fired!” And yet Crooked Hillary acolytes and Obama including his acolytes have spent the lame duck period trying to undermine the Trump Electoral College victory. (Heads up to popular vote counter-constitutionalists: The Founding Fathers set up the Electoral College because of a mistrust of direct democracy AND to level the playing field between the most populated States and the lesser populated States. HELLO! Take away New York and California then ask, “Who wins the popular vote then? And that is two out of fifty States.)

The Dems have – in an absolute sense - pointed their fingers at Russia for directly manipulating the election process in the USA. The problem with the Dem finger pointing there is proof the Russians or private hackers never accessed the voting process.

So, what are the Dems saying when pointing their fingers at Russia with an election manipulation accusation? The Dems at the very least influenced the election to Trump’s favor by exposing the Dem Party and the Crooked Hillary emails to the voting public.

Hmm So, Russia has become evil for revealing Hillary Clinton and the Dem Party are crooked and corrupt in its practices.

Now we can seriously point to Russian actions that are evil in the sense of undermining the freest republic in world history. Here is a far incomplete list of Russian provocations during President Barack Hussein Obama’s Administration:

o   Russia invaded the nation of Georgia to bring Abkhazia and South Ossetia under the Russian orbit by making them independent nations.

o   Annexing Crimea and usurping land from Ukraine at the behest of Russian speaking Ukrainians planted there during the Soviet era.

o   Russia often has military exercises directly near NATO protected nations as well as sending war planes into NATO nations’ airspace.

o   Russia has intervened in the Syrian civil war on the side of Abbas despotic regime which allies with the Iran military and the Hezbollah terrorists. (I have indecisive feelings here since the parties engaged in aiding Abbas are also attacking the Islamic terrorists of ISIS. Are there still moderate Sunni-Syrians trying to overthrow Assad? Frankly I don’t know about that due to all the Islamic terrorist organization involved in the civil war which stretches beyond just ISIS.)

o   Russia has sent aid to Iran in regard to the Shia Muslim’s nation’s nuclear aspirations. The kind of aid that Iran could easily escalate to military uses.

Of Possible Interest:

o   Relations with Russia; NATO; Last updated 12/20/16 15:05


o   Nuclear-Deal Fallout: Russia Sells S-300 Weapons to Iran; National Review; 4/12/16 12:06 PM


You are darn toot’in the Russians are up to no good vis-a-vie America. Are the Russians willing to interfere in America’s internal affairs? I have no doubt. I have a lot of doubts the Russians would favor Donald Trump to Crooked Hillary. After all, it was under the direction of Crooked Hillary and Obama that a huge chunk of Uranium fell under Russian control.

Trump’s campaign moniker of making America great again including a rebuilt stronger military is definitely NOT in the national interests of Russia.

Also, there is the appearance that America’s Intelligence Communities have absorbed the Obama global agenda and are willing to toss President Elect Trump under the bus with Buzzfeed publishing good old fashioned fake news (as opposed to the actual content of the DNC email servers). On television (Fox News) I heard this so-called Trump Dossier might be a part of a feud between the incoming President and the American Intelligence Community with the inference the CIA in particular.

If I was Trump, on January 20 I’d initiate investigations not only toward Crooked Hillary but also the Obama Administration that should include Barack Hussein Obama.

At any rate below are two reports. The first is the Angry Patriot talking about yet another Wikileaks expose showing Crooked Hillary had close financial ties with George Soros. The second report is a video entitled “Report on Russian Hacking is a Political Hoax” in which Cliff Kincaid and Jerry Kenney deconstructing the Intelligence Community’s belief that Russia was behind a hack of the DNC.

BREAKING – We Now Know WHO Was Behind Hillary Clinton All Along. Surprised?


Leaked documents have now revealed who is pulling Hillary Clinton’s dusty puppet strings.

BREAKING – We Now Know WHO Was Behind Hillary Clinton All Along. Surprised?

Leaked documents have now revealed who is pulling Hillary Clinton’s dusty puppet strings.

In an email released by WikiLeaks, George Soros gave Hillary Clinton step-by-step instructions. This included a list of people Soros thought should be official mediators sent to Albania in 2011. Days after the email was sent, someone on the list was sent as the mediator by the EU, as per Investor’s Business Daily.

This past weekend, an organization called DC Leaks put up 2,500 documents from Soros’s Open Society Foundation’s servers, revealing more corruption and connections to Clinton and others. The emails are from as far back as 2008.

However, the mainstream media are refusing to say anything about this leak, no doubt because Soros funds them or they fear retaliation. Soros is quick to use his money to get what he wants even if that is to influence an election.

No mainstream media platform, such as CNNCBS, or the New York Times, has said a single thing about these emails. Only conservative media have touched the story.

They’re not airing this information because of lack of interest or out of fear it wouldn’t get viewers’ attention—it’s because the details are truly disturbing and deeply important.

These documents show how Soros’s organizations manipulated European elections in 2014, including a “List of European Elections 2014 Projects” that details over 90 projects in total in that year alone. He also gave $4 million away to anti-Israeli groups to “challenge Israel’s racist and anti-democratic policies.”

In the states, Soros wanted to give $200,000 to the Center for American Politics to create a smear campaign to hit conservative activists with. And in 2015, his Open Society gave $650,000 to “invest in technical assistance and support for the groups at the core of the burgeoning #BlackLivesMatter movement.” It was then that the BLM movement seemed to start to advocate for violence.

Soros doesn’t care if American police officers die because he has emboldened and financed a hateful group. He doesn’t care that actual black community issues will be neglected as the movement pushes for all the wrong solutions!

Previously, Soros had known close ties to the failed presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton, but there was no evidence Clinton was literally taking Soros’s orders. This past year, he gave around $7 million to Clinton’s PACs alone. Altogether, he gave over $25 million to Democrat politicians and causes.

If Soros was a conservative, the media would be all over him—they may have even been harder on him than they are on Donald Trump. They would tear into his schemes and works and try to expose him for what he is, but because he’s a liberal, the media are looking the other way.

Soros, like Hillary Clinton, gets a pass for his corrupt schemes. Looks like his organizations are another swamp to drain!

Dear Friend of America’s Survival:

It’s getting serious.

Mr. and Mrs. America, the CIA is again trying to overthrow Trump.

CNN has unleashed another round of vague, unsubstantiated and unsourced allegations against Trump:



CNN claims the allegations are “that Russian operatives claimed to have compromising personal and financial information about Mr. Trump." Claimed?

This is another effort by the CIA to undermine Trump even before he takes office. We recorded a show on this effort. Watch our show here.

The allegations were apparently referenced by Democrat Sen. Harry Reid in a letter to FBI Director Comey. Reid claimed: “In my communications with you and other top officials in the national security community, it has become clear that you possess explosive information about close ties and coordination between Donald Trump, his top advisors, and the Russian government – a foreign interest openly hostile to the United States, which Trump praises at every opportunity. The public has a right to know this information.”

Notice Reid’s reference to sources in “the national security community.” This is code for the CIA.

What? Valerie Jarrett says BHO Scandal Free


Edited by John R. Houk
Posted on 1/4/17

Jim Delaney provides a bit of an introduction on his blog to a Daily Wire post entitled, “Valerie Jarrett Says Obama's Been Scandal-Free. Here Are His Top 13.” Delaney scoffs at the hubris of Jarrett in perpetrating such a deviant lie about President Barack Hussein Obama. Then in a second cross post, you can read those top 13 Obama scandals that Jarrett deleted from the gray matter in her brain.

Shameless Pathological Liar to the End

January 3, 2017 5:24 PM

To the bitter end, this globalist, neo-Marxist, pathological liar and narcissist continues to leave a path of destruction in his wake--and THAT is his real legacy.

Valerie Jarrett, his sinister confidante, is no better when she proclaims that Obama's administration has been "scandal-free". (Tell a big lie often enough and, for many, it becomes the truth-- and that's what these vermin are counting on.)

As for being "scandal-free", and in addition to those 13 scandals listed in article, there are also his oft-repeated and very public lies about the affordability of Obamacare and our freedom to "keep [our] own doctor", the seemingly endless and very costly vacations and campaigning on the taxpayer's dime, and, of course, his litany of lawless imperial executive orders, the latter being the most threatening and damaging to our republic.

We could each go on and on, but what's the point? The important thing is that after January 20th he will no longer be sullying our White House. And with the acuity of hindsight, historians will eventually judge this ruthless ideologue for what he really was/is. Let's just be happy and relieved that he will no longer be burdening and degrading what little remains of this constitutional republic.

And one final note: going forward, let Obama be a lesson for us all. A disengaged electorate which tolerates tyranny on either side of the aisle is anathema to constitutional order. Hold Trump and the GOP Congress to a much higher standard or risk further eroding our already tattered Constitution.

Valerie Jarrett Says Obama's Been Scandal-Free. Here Are His Top 13.

January 3, 2017

Valerie Jarrett, who has been the Rasputin of the Obama administration, offered a laughable line to ring in the new year: President Barack Obama's presidency has been free of scandals.

"The president prides himself on the fact that his administration hasn’t had a scandal and he hasn’t done something to embarrass himself," Jarrett told CNN on Sunday. "That’s because that's who he is — that's who they are — and I think that’s what really resonates with the American people."

Jarrett's assertion is demonstrably false, as the Daily Wire has highlighted. Below are 13 of Obama's top scandals, the first 11 of which are excerpted from our previously compiled list:

1. Operation Fast and Furious. This egregious example of a reckless government endangering lives and then scrambling to cover it up has haunted Obama for years. As Daily Wire has explained, "Operation Fast and Furious involved the Obama administration arming drug cartels and thugs south of the border as a means to undermine the Second Amendment. The program resulted in the death of U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry. One of the Islamic terrorists in the Garland, Texas, attack also used a gun that was obtained through the Fast and Furious program." ...

2. Benghazi. The terror attacks in Benghazi, Libya resulted in four brave Americans dying despite the fact that help could have been sent, but wasn't. Requests for security prior to the attack were repeatedly denied, and after the attack Obama and Hillary Clinton falsely blamed it on a video considered offensive to Muslims. During the election, Benghazi became associated with Clinton—and rightly so—but it is also Obama's scandal as well. It is still not known what Obama was doing that night.

3. The IRS targeted conservative organizations. In 2013, Lois Lerner, who directed the Internal Revenue Service's Exempt Organizations Unit, admitted that Tea Party organizations were targeted under the agency, but blamed it on lower-level employees. Such organizations were heavily scrutinized with invasive questions. Since then, Lerner and IRS commissioner John Koskinen have denied any wrongdoing and have stonewalled congressional efforts to investigate the matter, citing computer crashes for being unable to turn over related emails.

Meanwhile, a federal court concluded in August that conservative groups might still be facing targeted scrutiny from the IRS. It has also been reported that the Department of Justice (DOJ) knew about the IRS's targeting of conservative groups as early as 2011.

4. The DOJ seized Associated Press phone records as well as phone and email records from Fox News reporter James Rosen. In the AP's case, the DOJ was investigating a story involving "a CIA operation in Yemen that foiled an al-Qaeda plot in the spring of 2012 to set off a bomb on an airplane headed to the United States," according to the Washington Post. The DOJ seized two months of phone records from the AP without informing the news outlet. ...

In the Rosen case, the DOJ was investigating a story Rosen did involving North Korea and tracked "his movements and conversations," according to Fox News, including phone numbers belonging to Rosen's parents. The DOJ had listed Rosen as a "co-conspirator" under the Espionage Act in regards to the story—allegedly pressing a source for classified information. Rosen was never charged with a crime. ...

5. The NSA conducted mass surveillance against American citizens without a warrant. Thanks to leaking from former government contractor Edward Snowden, it was revealed that the National Security Agency had been conducting mass surveillance against American citizens—a clear violation of the Fourth Amendment. In 2015, the NSA eventually ended their bulk data collection of phone records.

6. The Obama administration paid ransom to Iran for hostages, and lied to the American people about it. As the Daily Wire has explained, the Obama administration claimed that they were giving a total of $1.7 billion to Iran to settle a failed arms deal with the previous Iranian regime, and it just happened to coincide with the release of four American hostages. The Obama administration also didn't reveal the details of the agreement to Congress. It was obvious though that it was a ransom deal and the Obama administration lied about it. 

7. Hillary's email scandal. Clinton's use of a private email server that was unapproved and unsecured has been written about extensively, but it is also Obama's scandal as well, since it has been revealed that not only did Obama know about her private email server, he also communicated with her under the use of a pseudonym. If their email exchanges involved classified information, then Obama also would have violated the Espionage Act.

8. The Environmental Protection Agency poisoned a Colorado river. The EPA breached the Gold King mine in the state and "mistakenly dug at the bottom" as well as didn't test for pressure, leading to "three million gallons of toxic mine waste" being dumped into a river, according to The Daily Caller. The EPA has not been held accountable for this.

9. The EPA also broke federal law in promoting a regulation. The Daily Wire reported in 2015 that the nonpartisan Government Accountability Office concluded that the EPA broke the law in using Thunderclap to tout their "Waters of the United States" regulation as well as their use of "hyperlinks to the [Natural Resources Defense Council] and Surfrider Foundation webpages provided in the EPA blog post."

10. The GSA scandal. The General Services Administration was busted in 2012 for spending $823,000 on an extravagantly decadent conference in Las Vegas, and it became a shining example of government waste. Several people in the agency were fired, with one facing an indictment. Despite the scandal, lavish spending still occurred within federal agencies under the Obama administration.

11. The Secret Service scandal. The Secret Service was caught in 2012 engaging with prostitutes during a trip to Cartegena, Columbia, with one Secret Service agent emailing another: "Swagg cologne-check/Pimp gear-check/ Swagg sunglasses-check/Cash fo dem hoes-check." They "also left sensitive government documents unprotected in their Cartagena rooms," according to The Daily Caller.

Below are two other scandals that occurred under the Obama administration.

12. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) placed veterans on secret waiting lists so agency executives could enrich themselves with bonuses. The veterans placed on these lists would languish without receiving the care they needed and around 307,000 have reportedly died as a result. Yet department executives would claim bonuses up to $400 million a year deceptively stating that waiting times had declined. The VA has yet to be held to any serious accountability and face structural reforms, and the problems the agency are ongoing.

13. The Department of Energy (DOE) fired one of their chief scientists because she advocated for a program that would divert money from Obama's Climate Action Plan. Dr. Noelle Metting, who managed the Low Dose Radiation Research Program, said that the DOE terminated her because she refused to repeat their propaganda and stated the factual results of the program instead.

"DoE placed its own priorities to further the president's Climate Action Plan before its constitutional obligations to be candid with Congress," the House Committee on Science, Space Technology stated in a report. "The DoE’s actions constitute a reckless and calculated attack on the legislative process itself, which undermines the power of Congress to legislate. The committee further concludes that DoE’s disregard for separation of powers is not limited to a small group of employees, but rather is an institutional problem that must be corrected by overhauling its management practices with respect to its relationship with the Congress."
