US Presidential Election Series: US President meddles with Clinton investigation

Probably, when you are a democratic President, you have an obligation to support the candidacy of the Democratic Party, but very few people realize that when they are President or Prime Minister or the chief executive of a country, their designation is beyond party politics. We have a president in the United States, who doesn’t abide by such standards. The president chooses to campaign for a candidate, who is currently under investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Well, you would say that we need to give the benefit of doubts to the President; maybe he feels compelled to support the Party, maybe he truly believes that a Donald Trump presidency would be harmful. But in doing so, he doesn’t realize that he is meddling with the laws of the country. We aren’t talking about the ‘Hatch Act’, which should’ve barred him from campaigning for Hillary Clinton; we are talking of the FBI investigation. When a President walks around the country saying that Hillary Clinton will be a better President, he is undermining the FBI investigation. Well, if Hillary Clinton is found to be guilty, he can say after the investigation that he was wrong in trusting but when you are giving out interviews stressing that she would be a great president, he knows her, trusts her and believes in her integrity, you are clearly undermining an ongoing investigation.

President Barrack Obama is no fool, nor is he stupid. He is quite aware of what he is doing. After all, it is his justice department that is trying to cover up for Hillary Clinton, It was he who said that congressional investigation of Benghazi deaths phony, It was his justice department that secretly made the Iran deal, it was he, who lied about his knowledge of the server, and it was he, who from the first day tried to undermine the congressional investigation of Hillary Clinton’s server.
