This is just unbelievable. They will be teaching this in college courses to our kids. Obama should have taken these dudes down man.
He may very well have saved our democracyObama did.... he preserved all the evidence and had all 17 agencies give him the assessment..
Obama is the GOAT

On February 10, USA Today reported the following:
Seven days before he left office, President Obama changed the order of succession without explanation to remove Boente from the list. Obama's order had listed U.S. attorneys in the District of Columbia, the Northern District of Illinois and the Central District of California.
1 week before Obama leaves office: Before Obama removes Boente out of the DoJ line of succession. Odd move. Why would he do that? Is he signalling?
As soon as Trump comes in, because he's so anti-Obama, he promote Boente back in succession.
Yates gets fired
Boente becomes acting AG
Sessions becomes AG after being sworn in. Boente goes back to #2.
Sessions is forced to recuse.
Boente becomes point person on Trump-Russia investigations at DoJ.
Maddow broke this down tonight in glaring detail.
Obama played chess with Trump. Bigly. Huge power play to get someone unfavorable to Trump in the mix.
Obama’s executive order didn’t actually remove Boente from his job or change anything about his position. All it did was state that Boente would be passed over if recusals began. So Obama did’t punish Boente in any real world sense; he merely created the appearance that he had. And it may have been enough to bait Trump into concluding that Obama didn’t trust Boente, and therefore Trump should trust Boente. If this was the plan all along, it means the person in charge of prosecuting Trump-Russia is precisely whom Obama wanted in charge of it all along – and now it’s realistically too late for Trump to stop it.
Boente was then later appointed to the No. 2 spot at DOJ as acting deputy attorney general and tasked with not only overseeing the Russia probe after Sessions recused himself, but also had the job of calling Preet Bharara -- then US attorney for the Southern District of New York -- to tell him that the President had fired him along with dozens of other top prosecutors around the country.
Now that Rod Rosenstein, former US attorney for the district of Maryland, has been confirmed to the No. 2 spot at DOJ, the ultimate prosecutorial decision-making on Russia will fall to him.
Oh, and Boente knows everything Comey knew and everything Mueller knows.
Obama knew this day would come.
Did Trump reverse an Obama order last month because he knew there would be a Sessions-Russia investigation?
There was also evidence the Obama White House was running around trying to tell people about the Trump-Russia collusion in the days running up to the end of Obama's term to get things in order: Obama Administration Rushed to Preserve Intelligence of Russian Election Hacking
