Barack Obama has highlighted Donald Trump’s legal woes in a speech a day after the special counsel ended a plea deal with the US president’s former campaign chairman.

"Not only did I not get indicted, nobody in my administration got indicted," the former president told an audience at Rice University on Tuesday.

"By the way, it was the only administration in modern history that that can be said about. In fact, nobody came close to being indicted, probably because the people who joined us were there for the right reasons."

Mr Obama’s comments came the same day Mr Trump branded Robert Mueller, the special counsel, a “conflicted prosecutor gone rogue” after his office said Paul Manafort had repeatedly lied to the FBI.

The “crimes and lies” made by Mr Manafort during a series of interviews with lawyers meant a plea deal made in September was no longer applicable, Mr Mueller’s office said in a court filing.

During the Q&A to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the university’s Baker Institute, a public policy think tank, Mr Obama decried the dysfunction and partisanship in Washington.

“The degree to which the United States underwrites the international order - it is not always in the obvious ways - but if there’s a problem around the world they do not call Moscow, they do not call Beijing. They call Washington,” he said.

Obama was sued over the FOIA a record number of times. A total of 2,609 FOIA lawsuits were filed during Obama’s administration from 2009 to 2015, compared to 2,091 filed during the Bush administration from 2002 through 2008. He was also sued by Congress over the ACA. Yet there were no personal lawsuit against Obama during his presidency for actions before or after; Trump has been personally sued 75xs.

“Even our adversaries expect us to solve problems and expect us to keep things running, and when you start getting dysfunction in Washington… that doesn’t just weaken our influence, it provides opportunities for disorder to start ramping up all around the world.”

He also expressed frustration over the state of the media landscape.

"By the time I take office, what you increasingly have is a media environment in which if you are a Fox News viewer, you have an entirely different reality than if you are a New York Times reader," he said.

In what was seen by some as a final swipe, Mr Obama appeared to allude to a lack of respect towards the presidency by the current occupant of the White House.

“There’s a reverence there, for that office,” he said. “That is independent of you. And if you don’t feel that, then you shouldn’t be there because a lot of fights, a lot of sacrifices, a lot of bloodshed is represented in that office.”

Well lets talk about how many of his people he kept from testifying by the use of executive privilege. He had a A G Holder for contempt of congress ,Obama was held in contempt of court and of course you libs did't say a word about that. Obama had to fire Van Jones when it came out he was an out and out c*******t.
Of course you and your lying cronies run with anything you can get although its either wrong or just plain lying.

As to A.G. Holder, A federal judge has declined a House committee's bid to have Attorney General Eric Holder held in contempt of court — and perhaps even jailed — for failing to turn over documents related to the Justice Department' s response to Operation Fast and Furious.

However, in a ruling Monday, U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson also denied Holder's request for an indefinite stay of her prior order that the attorney general must turn over any "non-privileged" documents the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee subpoenaed as part of an investigation into the botched gunrunning investigation. The judge previously ruled that Holder must give the panel any documents that are not both predecisional and deliberative in nature. https://www.politico.com/blogs/under-the-radar/2014/10/judge-declines-to-hold-holder-in-contempt-196650

Jackson called the House contempt motion "entirely unnecessary" and said it was evident that she was considering the government's motion to lift her prior order. "Under those circumstances, the Court finds no basis to hold defendant in contempt," she wrote. https://www.politico.com/blogs/under-the-radar/2014/10/judge-declines-to-hold-holder-in-contempt-196650

"Obama was held in contempt of court and of course you libs did't say a word about that." Not Obama, his administration. On Thursday, Louisiana Federal District Court Judge Martin Feldman found that the Obama Interior Department was in contempt of his ruling that the offshore oil drilling moratorium, imposed by the administration in 2010, was unconstitutional. After Feldman struck down the initial drilling ban, the Interior Department simply established a second ban that was virtually identical. https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/kyle-drennen/2011/02/04/obama-administration-found-contempt-court-media-silent

"Obama had to fire Van Jones when it came out he was an out and out c*******t." That is pretty much true, good point.

Why should Obama be concerned about VanJones was a c*******t? After all, Obamas mentor Frank Foster Davis was a member of the C*******t Party of the USA and Obama learned about the world and how wonderful and valuable the C*******t Party was from this mentor and good friend.
