Obama officials, 'lock, stock and barrel,' called 'criminals'

Senior law-enforcement officials of Barack Obama's administration, "Lock, stock and barrel," were criminals, says former U.S. Attorney Joseph diGenova.

He was asked about possible charges against officials such as fired FBI Director James Comey, former CIA Director James Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper.

All of them could be targets in U.S. Attorney John Durham's investigation of the investigation by the Obama FBI and Justice Department of now-debunked claims of Trump 2016 campaign collusion with Russia.

"I don't think there's any question that the illegal activities of the FBI and senior Obama administration Department of Justice and law enforcement officials constituted obstruction of justice," he said, noting there also was lying to the court.

"People at the FBI knew the information was false but they continued to investigate the president anyways. They continued to investigate Micheal Flynn, anyways," he said.

"And the notion, that senior U.S. law enforcement and intelligence officials believed this crap coming from Christopher Steele says they're either the most incompetent people who ever ran U.S. counterintelligence or they are the biggest criminals who ever ran U.S. counterintelligence. Either one is a damning conclusion," he said.

DiGenova also responded to the charge by Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., that Obama officials were lying.
