Just when you thought you'd seen the last of him...He's back. And he's up to no good.
Barack Obama is no friend to Donald Trump. But then, neither is John McCain. With friends like McCain, you don't need enemies.
This week Eric Holder announced the "Second Coming of Barack." "He's back. And he's ready to roll!" he gushed.
And he is. After a swell vacation, his book deal signed, and Bill Ayers waiting in the wings to write it, Obama is ready to pick up where he left off.
Since he can't use his Presidential Office while practicing presidency without a license, the "Nerve Center" to take down The Donald is set up in the Obama D.C. mansion, with Valerie Jarrett already in residence.
The original plan was to win the election. When that didn't pan out, Plan Two was to use "The Russians," to pick off the new administration's team, one at a time, while Obama minions were busy leaking and wire-tapping -- allegedly.
But none of this "In Your Face Shadow Government" was important to Sen. McCain. This week he was too busy concentrating on defending the Free Press from President Trump.
"If you want to preserve Democracy as we know it, you have to have a free, and many times adversarial press," he told Meet the Press' Chuck Todd. "And without it, I'm afraid we would lose so much of our individual liberties over time. That's how dictators get started."
"Yep. That's what he said. Can you remember a time when the press was adversarial to Obama? Did McCain happen to notice we've had a state-controlled media for eight years, the media voluntarily "silencing" themselves in devotion to Obama?
And frankly, with his keen eye, you'd think McCain would have spotted some presidential overreach during the eight years he watched Obama in action:
The Abedin/Carlos Dangerous 30,000 e-mail scandal. The Hillary Clinton e-mail scandal, and the fact that the FBI's investigation petered out on both;
The Department of Justice tapping the phones and e-mails of FOX reporter James Rosen, and even, whoops! his mom and dad's in Staten Island. And those 20 AP reporters. And that whole thing with Sharyl Attkisson's computer.
And Obama's interference with Netanyahu's election in Israel.
The media doesn't need Sen. McCain's protection. President Trump does.
Obama's team is a tough bunch. Cast in his image, they carry out his "Rules of Engagement" straight from Saul Alinsky: "Make them miserable and hound them to death."
Some are faceless creatures, busy sabotaging the new administration from their Obama-bureaucratic cubbies, sheepishly carrying their alleged wire-tapping tools, clutching their secret e-mails, leaking classified information, stalling and plotting.
Providing aid and comfort to the enemy.
Others are in Congress and in plain sight. Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) competed with Obama's former Secretary of Labor Tom Perez to head up the Democratic National Committee. Perez won.
Ellison, a Muslim, was an active member of Farrakhan's Nation of Islam until he said he wasn't. And Perez persecuted Sheriff Joe Arpaio for three long years while with Obama's Civil Rights Division of the DOJ. Arpaio emerged with a clean bill of health, but that didn't stop Perez from trying to pin something on the border-tough sheriff.
Obama's two attorneys general, Holder and Loretta Lynch, shamelessly politicized the Office of the Attorney General.
Lynch met with Bill Clinton while his wife was under investigation by the FBI and DOJ, then dismissed all charges against the Democratic presidential candidate.
Holder lied and withheld documents from a Congressional Committee investigating the "gun walking" Fast and Furious scandal, and was the first attorney general to be found in contempt of Congress. President Obama invoked presidential privilege over the same documents.
Holder has since been hired by the state of California to prepare lawsuits against the new administration, and, as former Top Cop, Lynch is inappropriately urging that protests against the new president become more intense.
Former Obama Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano was never a fan of border security when governor of Arizona, and now is doing her bit for illegal immigration as the president of the University of California. The job includes the campus at Berkeley, the site of recent violent anti-conservative/Milo protests.
During her time as University president, Napolitano has been creating policy, dedicating $500 million for illegal immigrant student education and counseling, and desigating California universities as "sanctuary campuses."
And last, but not least, Mayor Rahm Emanuel is actively not stopping crime in Chicago, while digging in his heels, resisting the national call for mayors to abandon their cities' sanctuary city status.
Draining a swamp is a dangerous business. After all, the Trump administration threatens to destroy all that Obama and friends on both sides of the aisle hold dear. So an all-out assault on Trump makes perfect sense.
Some might call it Treason. But certainly not John McCain. He doesn't see it.
Hold the line, America.
