Valuetainment - ＂Obama Is A Problem＂ – Andrew Bustamante EXPLAINS Why Russiagate Could Land Barack Behind Bars

00:00:00.480 Russiagate, story's been out of order for a while.

00:00:03.860 It's not like we haven't known when the dossier was paid for,

00:00:06.220 $35 million, Hillary Clinton.

00:00:07.480 We've all read it.

00:00:08.160 We've seen the story.

00:00:09.220 That's not news.

00:00:10.340 Now, you know, Tulsi Gabbard, who is running DNI,

00:00:14.200 is coming out and saying, hey, here's what we're going to be doing.

00:00:16.660 And they're going after Schiff.

00:00:18.600 They're going after Hillary.

00:00:19.760 Here's President Trump today, just five hours ago.

00:00:23.120 Go ahead, Rob.

00:00:25.360 I had to go through the Russia-Russia hoax. 0.57

00:00:27.380 And it was actually, it was a strain on the relationship.

00:00:31.880 I actually told them, I said, you know,

00:00:34.100 they got this phony investigation going on, Russia, Russia, Russia,

00:00:38.640 totally phony, created by Adam Schiff,

00:00:42.340 Shifty Schiff and Hillary Clinton and the whole group of them.

00:00:45.420 And it made it very dangerous for our country

00:00:47.680 because I was unable to really deal with Russia

00:00:50.040 the way we should have been.

00:00:51.080 I'm looking at Pam because I hope something's going to be done about it.

00:00:54.240 These people put our country at great danger.

00:00:56.280 And Adam Schiff, it was all made up.

00:00:59.620 It was a hoax.

00:01:00.360 The Mueller report came out.

00:01:01.520 They all hated me.

00:01:02.340 They had 18 Trump haters.

00:01:05.200 And they said, I did nothing wrong.

00:01:07.000 They couldn't believe, they couldn't find anything.

00:01:10.140 After years of investigation, it was all a hoax.

00:01:13.660 It was a hoax created by the Democrats,

00:01:15.960 but in particular Schiff and Crooked Hillary, the whole group.

00:01:20.000 Let me pause right there.

00:01:20.700 So what do you think is going to happen here?

00:01:23.140 You think, I mean, at this point, people know, right?

00:01:26.160 Obama knew all along.

00:01:28.600 We got the reports that shows that Obama knew this was going on

00:01:32.000 and he kind of looked the other way and he allowed it to happen.

00:01:34.980 What level of accountability do you think will happen here?

00:01:39.280 This is tricky.

00:01:40.040 So, unfortunately, we are dealing with an issue

00:01:45.080 that will always have information that's confidential, that's classified.

00:01:50.700 We're not ever going to know what they know.

00:01:53.400 We're not going to know what's being leaked.

00:01:55.600 That isn't a controlled leak.

00:01:57.260 We're not going to know what's real information versus what's spun information.

00:02:01.160 So because we'll never know,

00:02:02.720 it does two useful things for the current administration.

00:02:05.860 First, it distracts us from whatever else we might be focusing on.

00:02:09.180 And then second, it continues to drive this bipartisan divide,

00:02:14.980 which is going to be very important going into the midterms.

00:02:17.460 So there's lots of benefits from talking about something,

00:02:19.900 even though you and I can't reasonably expect

00:02:22.580 any significant outcome to come of it.

00:02:24.740 The second thing it does is that it allows this question

00:02:30.660 about whether or not a president, former or current,

00:02:35.280 can be held accountable, accountable for their actions,

00:02:37.740 for their words, for their conspiracies.

00:02:40.960 And that's, to put a fine point on it,

00:02:44.280 I don't think a president will ever be held accountable

00:02:46.080 for what they did or didn't do right or wrong

00:02:48.820 because the office of the president

00:02:51.600 is so representative of freedom around the world

00:02:55.540 that to actually put a president behind bars,

00:02:58.640 to hold them in contempt,

00:03:00.020 would be something that basically says,

00:03:01.880 hey, we're America, we made a mistake.

00:03:03.340 We can't do that on the world stage.

00:03:06.560 They did it to him, didn't they?

00:03:07.760 They gave him a mugshot, president, they, you know,

00:03:11.340 who's, what president's ever had a mugshot?

00:03:13.280 They tried.

00:03:13.860 They certainly tried with Donald Trump.

00:03:16.300 And the vote of the people on two separate elections

00:03:20.880 four years apart

00:03:22.660 kind of demonstrated the power of the office of the president.

00:03:26.300 If Trump didn't flip those three Supreme Court justices

00:03:30.620 and it was the other way around 6-3,

00:03:33.580 when they voted for him not to be able to be on the ballot

00:03:36.580 in Colorado,

00:03:38.220 if they would have voted the other way

00:03:40.940 and said, yeah, we're going to remove him from ballot

00:03:42.400 in Colorado and five other states follow,

00:03:44.200 he's not winning, Kamala or Biden is the president today.

00:03:46.760 Right.

00:03:47.220 And he would have been in jail

00:03:48.660 or they would have done anything and everything in their power

00:03:50.780 to say that he was a criminal.

00:03:53.300 They would have done that.

00:03:54.080 So we got very close.

00:03:55.520 Oh, yeah.

00:03:56.020 Without the Supreme Court, we're there.

00:03:58.800 Without, it's at its core, you're right,

00:04:02.600 but there's also other levels that have to,

00:04:05.180 essentially other dominoes that are smaller dominoes

00:04:07.340 that also have to fall into place.

00:04:08.840 And we don't really know how any of that would turn out.

00:04:10.720 But I don't pay a lot of attention

00:04:13.820 to these internal divisive politics

00:04:18.640 because it really is,

00:04:21.340 it's a page out of the political playbook

00:04:23.700 to distract the American people.

00:04:25.680 The masses.

00:04:26.380 It's a tool to distract the masses.

00:04:28.280 It's also a tool to distract your adversaries

00:04:30.720 because all of the Russian intelligence services

00:04:33.420 that are watching open source collection

00:04:34.860 from the United States,

00:04:35.760 they're spending time and money

00:04:37.340 wondering what's going to happen next

00:04:39.260 instead of collecting meaningful intelligence

00:04:41.540 on what the true plans and intentions are

00:04:43.300 of the United States in Mexico

00:04:45.060 with trade tariffs,

00:04:46.420 with rare earth minerals, right?

00:04:49.160 So we want to waste our enemy's time.

00:04:51.180 We didn't invent this.

00:04:52.640 We borrowed this skill from the USSR. 0.82

00:04:55.140 The USSR literally had a playbook 0.97

00:04:57.000 that said that they would let their politicians

00:04:59.400 pontificate in multiple hour-long meetings

00:05:02.640 because they knew that it would distract the Americans.

00:05:04.920 Got it.

00:05:11.440 So you don't think there's anything there

00:05:12.740 and Trump may be doing something

00:05:15.440 to play everybody else

00:05:18.420 into going in and seeing what's going to happen.

00:05:20.000 What's that?

00:05:20.360 Rudy Giuliani says,

00:05:21.300 Obama will invoke presidential immunity

00:05:23.300 over the Rush Oaks investigation,

00:05:25.440 but here's one little problem

00:05:26.420 that could lead to an indictment.

00:05:28.080 You're not immune for the rest of your life

00:05:31.320 as a president.

00:05:31.920 Obama becomes a problem

00:05:33.700 because he will invoke presidential immunity.

00:05:35.820 Where's this, Rob?

00:05:36.340 Is this a clip from here?

00:05:37.240 It is.

00:05:37.560 Here it is.

00:05:37.820 Is this just now?

00:05:40.040 August 10th.

00:05:41.100 Okay.

00:05:41.480 So yesterday, a couple of days ago.

00:05:42.840 Let's see it.

00:05:44.920 Becomes a problem

00:05:45.820 because he will invoke presidential immunity.

00:05:50.840 The decision the Supreme Court made

00:05:53.000 that helped Trump.

00:05:55.300 The acts are kind of different,

00:05:59.420 but there's a problem for Obama.

00:06:01.640 It continues after he's president.

00:06:04.500 So starting on January 1st, 2017,

00:06:09.220 any participation of him in the conspiracy

00:06:12.040 is not immune.

00:06:14.700 You're not immune for the rest of your life

00:06:16.380 as president.

00:06:17.240 So he'll be immune

00:06:18.380 if whatever allegations against him

00:06:21.620 are contained within his presidency.

00:06:23.660 But if he's helping to assist

00:06:27.000 over that three-year period

00:06:28.500 that they pushed Russian collusion

00:06:30.620 into 2017 and 2018,

00:06:33.960 then he's, of course,

00:06:35.040 he could be indicted for that.

00:06:37.200 Obama becomes a problem.

00:06:39.440 Do you agree with him?

00:06:40.440 So I agree with him on a legal basis.

00:06:44.440 However,

00:06:45.700 the operative term that he used

00:06:48.700 was conspiracy.

00:06:49.720 I think if there's anything

00:06:51.960 we all learned

00:06:52.520 from the Diddy investigation,

00:06:54.100 it's that the Department of Justice 0.83

00:06:55.400 can't do shit to prove a conspiracy 0.98

00:06:57.360 because they couldn't pin conspiracy on Diddy. 0.99

00:07:01.480 They failed to pin conspiracy

00:07:03.480 on multiple players

00:07:04.420 because it's very hard

00:07:05.740 to prove conspiracy.

00:07:08.500 So whether or not

00:07:09.900 there was a conspiracy,

00:07:11.120 whether or not that is

00:07:12.300 backed up with evidence,

00:07:13.740 it's a completely different thing

00:07:15.180 that our Department of Justice

00:07:16.860 can bring the talent

00:07:17.980 and the team together

00:07:21.640 to be able to make

00:07:22.580 a true conviction of conspiracy.

00:07:25.600 So you don't see much happening here.

00:07:27.320 I see us getting distracted, man.

00:07:28.840 I see a lot of us being distracted.

00:07:30.680 I see a lot of bifurcation of politics.

00:07:35.260 And I want to correct one thing.

00:07:36.600 I don't think it's Trump doing it.

00:07:38.540 I don't think it's Trump

00:07:39.780 sitting in the Oval Office saying,

00:07:41.460 you know what we need to do, guys?

00:07:42.540 We need to distract America.

00:07:44.480 I think it's his PR department.

00:07:45.960 I think it's the people

00:07:46.700 who are trying to make sure

00:07:48.540 that the Republicans

00:07:49.240 are still in a good position

00:07:50.400 for the midterms.

00:07:51.300 I think there's all sorts of advisors

00:07:52.760 who are like,

00:07:53.680 we need to do something

00:07:54.560 to get the eyes and ears

00:07:57.780 and get all the clicks off of.

00:08:00.140 But a strategic way

00:08:01.680 of telling Trump to protect them

00:08:03.260 or because somebody else

00:08:04.500 that's the establishment

00:08:05.580 is telling the PR people

00:08:07.760 to tell the president to say this

00:08:09.120 because they want to distract others.

00:08:10.900 Like, is it direct or indirect?

00:08:12.900 It's direct.

00:08:14.040 Oh, it's direct.

00:08:14.560 So he knows that it's not a negative.

00:08:18.620 His own teammates

00:08:19.500 are not doing this to distract him.

00:08:21.340 Correct.

00:08:21.820 Okay, so it's not a negative thing.

00:08:23.160 It's not a negative thing.

00:08:24.160 Yeah, and it's not a Trump

00:08:25.980 trying to misinform the United States.

00:08:27.060 Okay, so let me ask you this.

00:08:27.900 As somebody that is in this world

00:08:29.260 where you study deception

00:08:30.860 and you know what's going on

00:08:31.940 because you've been a part of it

00:08:32.800 as a CIA officer,

00:08:33.740 not been a part of it,

00:08:34.520 but like you're in it

00:08:35.260 and you're seeing what they're saying

00:08:36.280 and you're like, 1.00

00:08:36.580 no, that's bullshit. 0.97

00:08:37.620 It's actually not what we're working on. 0.97

00:08:39.440 What is worth paying attention to today?

00:08:41.260 So what you want to watch

00:08:43.420 is you want to watch

00:08:44.360 what Donald Trump is able to do

00:08:47.200 that delivers on his campaign promises

00:08:49.900 and what is he able to do

00:08:51.680 that makes a demonstrable improvement

00:08:54.220 in the lives of the average American

00:08:55.760 because that's going to be

00:08:56.960 what we carry with us

00:08:58.520 into the midterm

00:08:59.860 and the midterm

00:09:00.660 is going to be critically important

00:09:01.660 because if Donald Trump

00:09:02.520 wants to continue to make progress,

00:09:04.380 he needs as much control

00:09:06.480 to be Republican held

00:09:08.060 in the Congress as possible

00:09:09.380 at the midterm.

00:09:09.940 So that's the stuff

00:09:11.900 that we need to pay attention to.

00:09:13.880 His foreign policy ambitions

00:09:15.540 are all over the map right now

00:09:17.340 because these strongmen leaders

00:09:19.640 are all jockeying for control,

00:09:22.440 whether it's Netanyahu

00:09:23.460 or whether it's Putin

00:09:24.200 or whether it's Xi Jinping,

00:09:25.540 they're all manipulating

00:09:26.820 and jockeying in different regions.

00:09:29.640 Europe is kind of tits up.

00:09:32.720 In the last two years,

00:09:33.960 you've got three major economies

00:09:35.680 all dissolving their parliaments,

00:09:37.260 all going through a no-confidence vote

00:09:40.260 in France, in Germany, in Portugal.

00:09:43.200 You've got Hungary 1.00

00:09:44.120 and Bulgaria supporting Russia.

00:09:47.120 You've got Slovakia 1.00

00:09:48.580 having a pro-Russian president brought in.

00:09:51.300 Europe's in chaos.

00:09:53.460 So foreign policy

00:09:54.360 is going to be something very...

00:09:55.380 And it's too complex

00:09:56.140 for the average person to understand.

00:09:57.640 And it's not Trump's priority,

00:09:59.680 just like he told you here,

00:10:00.520 why would I worry about Iran?

00:10:01.980 So how does he make domestic wins?

00:10:04.800 That's what he

00:10:06.020 and that's what the party behind him

00:10:07.600 want to see.

00:10:08.720 Everything else is just something

00:10:09.780 to fill the 24-hour news cycle.

00:10:11.100 Nowadays, more than ever,

00:10:12.820 the brand you wear

00:10:13.960 reflects and represents who you are.

00:10:15.840 So for us,

00:10:16.960 if you wear a future looks bright hat

00:10:19.480 or a value-taming gear,

00:10:21.180 you're telling the world,

00:10:22.560 I'm optimistic,

00:10:23.820 I'm excited about

00:10:24.540 what's going to be happening,

00:10:25.380 but you're a free thinker,

00:10:26.320 you question things,

00:10:27.060 you like debate.

00:10:27.600 And by the way,

00:10:28.720 last year,

00:10:29.200 120,000 people
