Rep. Steve King (R-IA) posted video on Friday of an Obama interview with Chris Wallace from FOX News in April 2016.
In the video Barack Obama promised there was “no” corruption in the FBI and DOJ.
Obama also guaranteed there was no political targeting by his Justice Department.
Of course, it now appears that political targeting was taking place around this time on the Trump campaign.
Rep. King then says in his Friday video the corruption goes pretty far up the line.
Breitbart.com reported:
“Watch closely for Barack Obama’s fingerprints,” said Rep. Steve King (R-IA) on Saturday, suggesting the recent alleged partisan weaponization of state surveillance powers could be connected to the 44th president. “[Democrats and their allies] will defend Barack Obama at all costs, and they’ll defend Hillary Clinton almost at all costs unless they have to sacrifice her to protect Barack Obama,” he added.
King offered his remarks during an interview with Breitbart News’s Deputy Political Editor Amanda House on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Saturday.
Against the backdrop of Friday’s released memo from the House Intelligence Committee (HIC), King called for further investigation into what role, if any, Obama and his cabinet officials played in procuring state surveillance of Carter Page and George Papadopoulos (two peripheral operatives of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign) via Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) applications submitted before the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC).
The HIC memo alleges the commission of abuses of power by the FBI and Justice Department (DOJ) under the Obama administration in surveilling Page and Papadopoulos.
Rep. King posted this video on Friday.
When you #ReadTheMemo think about the fingerprints of #Obama. Obama “Guaranteed” NO corruption in FBI or DOJ in any case! “Guaranteed. Full stop!”

Rep. Steve King (R-IA) also went after former Attorney General Eric Holder.
.@Comey You will want to correct your tweet below. You used the word “memo”, when surely you meant to type “dossier”-“dishonest and misleading dossier”. Also, Intel Committee not wrecked. With this change, you are spot on with all the rest. https://t.co/4qkEC4Jmgu
