As Democrats privately admit to themselves that there was no Russian collusion, they’ve also shifted gears to focus on the question of obstruction of justice. Despite the Mueller investigation being loaded with anti-Trumpers, even they weren’t able to say that any obstruction occurred. If there’s anything the release of the Mueller report has exposed, it’s not criminal behavior or even impeachable offenses of President Trump, but rather the hypocrisy of Democrats who are willing to call anything an impeachable offense with Trump but pretended the corruption that occurred under Barack Obama was all above board. By any reasonable standard, Congress had multiple impeachable offenses they could have gone after Obama for, but didn’t. Their turning a blind eye to Obama’s corruption completely undermines their efforts today to scandalize Trump and proves that they see two standards of justice: one for Democrats, and one for Republicans. Here are five examples of impeachable offenses that Obama should have been held accountable for, but wasn’t.
5. Illegally creating new laws and entering treaties
Obama’s dictatorial approach to governing would manifest itself many times during his presidency, and any one of them should have had Congress using their check on executive overreach, the power to impeach, but for reasons that can’t be justified, it never happened. One such example is Obama’s unilateral writing of i*********n l*w. It is quite clear that Congress has the power to write i*********n l*w, but Obama decided that since Congress wouldn’t act (and by that, he meant to do exactly what he wanted) he'd simply create a law with his executive pen. When the DREAM Act failed to pass Congress he simply began enforcing it without Congress’s consent by issuing an executive order, known as DACA. It was unconstitutional (even Obama repeatedly admitted that he didn’t have to power to create i*********n l*w) and his blatant disregard for the Constitution should have resulted in articles of impeachment being drafted immediately. Lack of accountability to Congress emboldened Obama to expand DACA, but that expansion was quickly fought and defeated in the courts.
In addition to his delusions of dictatorship when it came to writing laws, he also completely ignored the Senate's constitutional role in approving treaties. When it came to his precious and disastrous nuclear treaty with Iran, he knew the GOP-controlled Senate wouldn't ratify it, so he just pretended he didn't need their permission. The same thing happened again with the Paris Agreement. In both cases, Obama cared more about writing his p**********l legacy than he did about the Constitution and utterly ignored it.
4. Illegally rewriting existing laws
The most notable example of Obama unilaterally changing existing law without the consent of Congress was Obamacare. According to the Galen Institute, by January 2016, there were at least 70 changes to Obamacare, and “at least 43 of the changes to the Affordable Care Act have been made unilaterally by the Obama administration.”
Obama also unilaterally redefined the meaning of existing laws in order for them to concur with his agenda. In 2016, the Obama administration warned all public and private schools receiving federal funds that “g****r identity” was now protected under the 1972 Title IX statute, which protects against sex discrimination. What this effectively did was bully schools into allowing boys to use girls' bathrooms and locker rooms and dorms. Suddenly, “t*********r” students' right to use wh**ever bathroom they felt like trumped the privacy of every other student who might object to having to undress in front of a member of the opposite sex. This also meant that boys declaring themselves “t*********r” could play on girls sports teams, and as I’ve covered in the past, this has resulted in male students dominating athletic competitions and ruining opportunities for real girls.
These and other examples are proof that Obama considered himself above the law and the Constitution of the United States.
3. The illegal war in Libya
Democrats often tried to paint the War in Iraq as an illegal war, despite the fact that Congress approved of it, and used that as a basis for calling for George W. Bush’s impeachment. But, when Obama didn’t even go to Congress to start a war in Libya, you didn’t hear any such calls.
Even if you forget the disaster that became of Obama’s war in Libya, what seems to be forgotten is that we never should have been there in the first place. Obama knew Congress was not going to approve of military action in Libya, so instead of going to them for an official declaration of war, he went to the United Nations to get authorization to remove Muammar Gadhafi from power—bypassing Congress’s authority, and as The Washington Times put it, “dilut[ed] the sovereign power of the United States.”
Obama’s illegal war in Libya proved to be a total disaster. The k*****g of Gaddafi ultimately led to the destabilizing of the country, enabling ISIS to expand their territory there. Even Obama admitted his actions in Libya were a mistake—but only because of how it turned out, not because of how we got there.
2. Rampant obstruction of justice
I recently documented five high-profile examples of investigations obstructed by Obama and members of his administration and each one of those was an impeachable offense, had Congress had the cajones to hold Obama accountable. But the t***h is that obstruction of justice was standard operating procedure in the Obama administration from day one. Midway through his second term, more than half of the nation’s inspectors general wrote a letter to Congress accusing the Obama administration of systemic obstruction of ongoing investigations. That letter should have resulted in the appointment of a special counsel… but Attorney General Eric Holder, who famously called himself Obama’s wingman, wasn’t going to let that happen. In fact, neither Holder or Loretta Lynch, Obama’s second attorney general, ever appointed a special counsel, despite ample times where one should have been appointed. Obama didn’t just appoint attorneys general to lead the Justice Department, he appointed protectors to keep Obama from being held accountable for corruption.
1. Spying on Trump and protecting Hillary
There is no question that Obama spied on the Trump campaign. We know this happened. We know that this spying was justified using a bogus dossier funded by the Hillary campaign. What began as a means to undermine Trump before the 2016 e******n ultimately became a means to undermine his presidency. The Mueller investigation, a 22-month effort to uncover alleged Russian collusion predictably turned up nothing, and thankfully, Attorney General William Barr appears to be willing to do something to find out how the illegal spying began. Combine this with Obama’s role in meddling with the investigation of Hillary Clinton, and we get what is truly the biggest political scandal in history. Richard Nixon, had he not resigned, would have been impeached for much less than the crimes of Obama here.

Your facts are grossly chronologically un coordinated.Quadaffy's own people k**led him,He decided to relinquish his nuclear aspirations and had a change of heart towards the U.S..The Affordable Care act was passed into law with some degree of Republican support,that is the only way it could have become law.The president and the president alone has the power to shape or conduct foreign policy at his descretion and does so as to what he thinks is in the best interest of the nation.He was well within the parameters of his constitutional rights to negotiate a deal with Iran.Contrary to what people thought so far as giving Iran money -as was explained,that was Irans money held by the U S - and the issuing of it was a relaxing of certain sanctions against Iran.The delivery method(cash) was used because there is no system of internet electronicsisim with that eastern facet of the world.
When Obama didn't have or lost the advantage of having the v**es in Congress in order to get any of his political philosophies passed in order to maintain his functionality and effectiveness has presiding chief executive,he had to use his powers of executive privilege or order.The same thing Donald Trump always professes or threatens to enact.As for spying on Trump,it was his lawful duty(refer to the Patriot Act)he had better do that,other wise he would not be doing his job.This was not anything innovative.Historally all presidents DOJ's department do this.A high profile figure such as Trump,fratinizing and consorting with the countries major antagonist such as Russia certainly warrants that this process be implemented.How quickly we have forgotten Carol Mosley Braun was known to have an intimate association with an African dictator,whom although he wasn't a major opponent of this country,his basic philosophy of being a dictator was enough to inhibit Mosley's Braun's aspirations so far as being a two term senator.

===================
Obama from the beginning was not qualified to run for president of the US. Every school record he got was sealed. His BC, as well as his residency was suspicious. He was raised in Indonesia. If he was not born in the US as reported by many sources, therefore must not be qualified to be president of the US. This was a violation of Article II, Section 5 of the Constitution. Obama had mastered the lifestyle of corruption and lies.

The next thing he did after his success in the illegal entry to the WH, he t***sformed many provisions of the Constitution to "Political Correctness" to suit his desires to change the United States.

His color had protected, and shielded him, from his rampant abuse of power and violations of the Constitution. Those elected officials in Congress were so coward and afraid to confront Obama, that they be accused of being "R****T" That had gotten Obama to unstoppable violations without accountability. He acted like a dictator.

Here some of the constitutional violations of Obama.
1. He removed US Security Forces in Iraq in 2011 without consulting Congress. This resulted to having ISIS able to possess the 6000 Humvees, and military weapons left by the US Security Forces after they left. ISIS became so powerful, taking also Iraq's banking systems, and oil fields. ISIS then k**led all the Christians and Yazidis in Iraq. Then ISIS proceeded to Syria.

2. The illegal war in Libya without Congress approval. Instead, he went to the UN to seek removal of Qadhafi. At that time, Libya was having robust economy while Qadhafi became mild and cooperated with Western civilization both Europe and the US. Obama had ordered the k*****g of Qadhafi which enabled ISIS to take over. Also, our Ambassador Steven and 3 other support were all k**led in Libya which Obama and Hillary Clinton, lied that they were k**led by the Mohammad video.

3. Obama had changed the I*********n L*ws without Congressional approval. The DACA case, he allowed it permanent stay with option to become citizens.

4. Obama's changes made in the Affordable Care Act. Required all working people to be members. Those not provided with employer's medical care were required to pay the highest premium against their will to join, but forced to.

5. Obama's exchange of Bergdahl with release of the 5 leaders of the Afghan terrorists from GITMO. They eventually went back to k**l many of our military officers.

6. Obama also changed the School System's policy when he required Females bathrooms to be used by the so-called L**T without assurance of their true identity whether real female.

7. Obama hired DOJ supposed to protect our laws, but instead used as his defense protector for all illegalities he did against the American people. DOJ Lynch and Eric Holder all created their own laws. The Fast and Furious which k**led one of our border patrol agents. And Obama was able to shift tons of high-powered guns to Mexico, which ended up in the hands of the Drug Dealers.

8. Obama created a Deep State, weaponizing the very powerful Federal agencies to destroy a political opponent and conservatives. Among the system are CIA, the National Intelligence, DOJ, FBI, IRS, headed by all officers of the agencies, to destroy the winning candidate Trump, and his supporters, and finally to remove president Trump from his office. Spied on the campaign against president Trump. Until now that Mueller investigation was over, and resulted to 1. NO Collusion. NO obstruction of Justice. Obama's machine continued to weaponize against president Trump and his family.

9. Took money from the Stimulus Program supposedly created to help restore our economy after the 2008 recession. But instead Obamas used some of the money to build and rebuilt Mosques all over the world.

What happened to the rests of the $872 billion Stimulus in 2009? How was it used and prioritized??
