That Obama Excuse Disappears

During the Obama years, every time there was another scandal, the president claimed to have not known anything about it until he read about it in the media.  Fast and Furious was the Department of Justice running thousands of assault weapons to the Mexican drug cartels.  Obama said he first learned of the whole thing on the news.  The IRS targeted conservative and Christian groups, but Obama never heard of any of it until it made the news.  Time and time again, Obama denied knowledge but claimed he only heard of the scandal from the media.  It was a stupid excuse which any sane person would find hard to believe.  Nevertheless, Obama stuck to this story line and the media pushed the lie time and time again.

Lately, however, this lie has lost its luster for the Democrats.  The DNC and the Clinton campaign paid for the Trump Dossier.  The current chair of the DNC Tom Perez claimed to know nothing about that.  Debbie Wasserman Schultz - who was chair of the DNC when the payments to Fusion GPS were made-claims to know nothing about it.  She just heard about it in the media.  Hillary Clinton knew nothing about it.  Hillary's campaign spokesman and the campaign manager knew nothing about it.  Somehow, though, close to nine million dollars was sent to a law firm that the Dems used to conceal payments to Fusion GPS.  Maybe it was all done by magic and no one knew about it.  But here's the big problem for these people:  the media isn't really covering the story.  As CBS, ABC, CNN and NBC avoid the story, all these people seem to have known enough about it to deny any knowledge about it.  How did they come to know the details if it wasn't from media coverage?

The Democrats have a problem:  they don't even know how to lie well.
