Should Obama be prosecuted for aiding terrorists

The obstruction to the DEA investigation is appalling. A drug ring that sold cocaine in the USA, that funded the terrorist organization Hezbollah. 1 billion a year, weapons trafficking to Syria and Iraq, ties to Putin. All to appease Iran

Absolutely.

Deport him back to his native Kenya.

[JJ Husker]

Well he is an African born commie pinko liberal leftie terrorist after all. Sure, why the hell not, throw the book at him.

^^^^This. If you're going after one, you have to go after all of those before him, too.

That's actually an interesting article.  I read about half of it.  (It's long!)  It doesn't surprise me that Hezbollah has drug trafficking operations in the U.S. But prosecute ex-POTUS Obama?  That's just silly.

Answer to the thread title is :  NO.    If you did, you'd have to go after each President for some sort of decision he has made.  Often times Presidents have to make decisions that have a mix of the unsavory in the equation to accomplish what they perceived to be a 'greater good'.  Nothing is ever clearly black and white.  For an example, FDR forming an alliance wt Stalin who in many ways one could argue was worse than Hitler when it was all said and done.   Yet FDR & Churchill needed a 'eastern front' in order to defeat Hitler.  Unforeseen consequence, Stalin 'keeps' eastern Europe and murders untold millions across the Soviet Union.    Saddam was a friend before he was a foe.

Of course you're right @TGHusker. My previous comment was meant to be as ludicrous as that proposed in the OP. Very telling how somebody would want to go after one of them while ignoring others and currently supporting the most deserving of all of them.

[TGHusker]

@Comfortably Numb  You are correct.  As a Reagan supporter, I find the Iran arms deal a very discomforting episode in Reagan's term - whether it was done with his knowledge or not.  The history books are filled with episodes of choosing an unsavory 'means' to accomplish a needed good.  In the end, the rule of law must still abide - one has to decide if laws were broken because we don't want to live by the principle of the 'ends justifying the means' - as that can lead us into Nixon era issues (wt Trump not being far away - time will tell).  Presidents are given wide ranging powers and latitude in how they conduct foreign affairs - we only ask that they abide by national and international law and represent the true interest of our country.  Sometimes that means getting into bed wt some ugly bedfellows.

well lets all hope this leads to a special investigation led by a team of Trump supporters that has no limits in direction! It would be so good and cathartic for this country to expose just how corrupt the community organizers regime really was! Between this and the Uranium 1 investigation it promises to be an even better year than last!

 

Happy Holidays!

Uranium 1 was all above board, but just repeat everything you hear in your echo chamber.

You should step away from Maddow! Keep watching the news! They are investigating this too! I think we will see real Russia collusion soon!

Nah, the power structure of Congress right now is completely corrupt & they have no interest in actually doing their Constitutional duty because it might make their team look bad.

 

Congressional Republicans may as well go around with Wile E Coyote signs...

What collusion? It's not like they were trying to hide the uranium one deal, probably because there is nothing to hide. The uranium one investigation is the definition of a nothing burger. Sure we sold uranium to Russia but it was above board. There is no factual information saying otherwise. 

 

Trump is just trying to divert the Russia issue to Clinton and Obama. There may not be solid evidence of collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign yet but there is definitely a more clear pattern of hiding interaction with Russians by the Trump campaign than there is with the uranium one deal.
