The Rules

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

Gotta love the 'ex-Obama' tagged on as a clickbait trigger.

He's worked under many presidents, but who gets the mention?

Also is this supposed to get liberals to defend him, so the right can go both sides???

I'm a Obama supporter. And if his dude did asshole things go after him. You'll get zero pushback from me. Hell, if Obama did illegal things go after him I don't give a shit. He's an employee not a messiah.

If anyone knows what they're talking about it's this guy. He's been an expert in the field for decades.

You mean Max Blumenthal, regular contributor to Russian state-owned propaganda channels Sputnik and RT?

No, I mean our boy stewy from the article. Smart chap it seems. Good pedigree in the field.
