Trump Suggests That Congress Investigate Obama’s ‘Ridiculous Netflix Deal’
President Donald Trump on Monday suggested that the House Judiciary Committee should redirect its efforts from questions about his own business operations and potential conflicts of interest to those of his predecessor, Barack Obama.
“House Judiciary has given up on the Mueller Report, sadly for them after two years and $40,000,000 spent – ZERO COLLUSION, ZERO OBSTRUCTION. So they say, OK, lets look at everything else, and all of the deals that ‘Trump’ has done over his lifetime,” Trump tweeted. But it doesn’t….”

wrong again, trump voter. even though trump was accepted at Wharton, at least one of his professors said he was the worst student ever, he made crummy grades, and he did not major in economics beyond a mere bachelor degree, which means nothing.
from Forbes, NOT a liberal source-
Yesterday, as part of his testimony to Congress, Michael Cohen revealed that, under the direction of President Trump, he had sent letters to Trump’s high schools, colleges and the College Board (creator of the SAT), threatening them with legal action and jail time if they ever released Trump’s academic records. Cohen provided a record of one such letter sent to the president of Fordham University, which Trump attended for two years before transferring to complete his undergraduate degree at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. Trump’s high school has confirmed receiving an identical letter, while the University of Pennsylvania and the College Board declined to comment. It’s worth mentioning that letters like this are entirely unnecessary—under FERPA, disclosing academic records without the student’s written permission is pretty much the most illegal thing you can do with those records. Still, there are a few reasons why it makes sense that Trump would have been so concerned about his transcripts and standardized test scores being released.
1 — Trump Criticized Obama’s Academic Record, But His Is Similar
Trump and Obama actually had very similar undergraduate experiences. Both went to less-competitive but still prestigious schools (Fordham and Occidental) for their first two years, then transferred to and received their bachelor’s degrees from Ivy League schools (Columbia and Penn, respectively). Neither of them graduated with honors, although the way that many schools determine honors can often make it difficult for transfer students to receive them. Moreover, both Trump and Obama seem to have "kept their heads down"—Trump publicly criticized Obama for not being remembered by many of his Columbia classmates, although the same is true of him and Wharton. Although Obama then went on to graduate magna cum laude from Harvard Law, while Trump did not go to grad school. Trump has a reputation for projection, so it’s reasonable to think that his vocal criticisms of Obama’s presumed academic record are more similar to his own record than he’d admit. For one thing, he questions how Obama could have gained admission into an Ivy League school, when his own admission to Penn was due in large part to personal family connections.
2 — Trump Lied About Graduating “First In His Class”
Trump has repeatedly claimed (and allowed media outlets to report on his behalf) that he graduated ‘first in his class’ from the Wharton School at Penn. In fact, he wasn’t close—Trump graduated without honors. Some schools base honors on GPA percentile, but Wharton bases them simply on GPA, which means that in order to graduate without honors, his GPA had to have been less than a 3.40—or else that he was sanctioned for academic integrity or student conduct violations. What’s interesting about this is that it’s not the GPA itself, but the lie, that Trump may have been concerned about. Trump’s college GPA wasn’t a big deal until he made it a big deal by speculating about Obama’s GPA, lying about his own records and threatening his schools if they released them.

so the president of the US should be telling congress to investigate a private citizen for making a book deal and a deal with a streaming media service? is that part of his job description- to tell congress who to investigate, especially when it concerns a couple of business deals that have nothing to do with government or national security?
are you trying to show what a good little devoted trump defender you are by acting like this is not silly and demented on Trump's part?

of course it is, when it shows many different sources proving the claim. what you just said, on your post, is the definition of not a "well-sourced and documented" opinion...it was just you spewing bullshit with no source or facts at all. see the difference?

so, let us see what trump has screwed up in such a short period of time-
he has praised and bent over for and defended the worst [Unwelcome language removed] on the planet, from Putin to Little Kim to the torturing Saudi Prince, to the little homicidal filipino tyrant Duterte who brags about murdering drug -related suspects without trial....WHILE he is insulting and alienating our allies, and weakening what we should be strengthening, NATO and the UN who we can use to keep Russia and China in place and under control....
economically, it is about the same as it has been for the last 8 years or so, a little less job creation wise, but he will add a trillion dollar deficit this next year, despite a good Obama economy and no large numbers of troops in combat...and you are happy about it?

why not investigate every book deal ever made? and every deal Netflix made? how is a deal with obama different than a deal with any other private citizen? investigate what?
If you don't understand English, I can say it in Spanish.
Good idea, maybe we can find out who actually wrote Obama's books for him. Judging from the way he speaks, without a teleprompter, I don't think he's smart enough to write a book.
Honestly, the Netflix content (movies, series, historical documentaries etc) has improved immensely since Obama got involved with it. And I am a serial netflix watcher.
Sedition Law and Legal Definition. ... Sedition usually involves actually conspiring to disrupt the legal operation of the government and is beyond expression of an opinion or protesting government policy. Sedition is distinfuished from treason, which requires actual betrayal of the government, or "espionage."
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/dec/5/barack-obamas-team-worked-against-donald-trump/
If this is true then Obama has committed sedition against the U.S. and the seriousness of the charge demands an investigation of his activities regarding these crimes.
Utter and complete nonsense.
Seriously.
Stop hurting your country.
You can disagree with people without saying they are guilty of capital crimes.
Obama IS NOT guilty of sedition.
Not even remotely close.
Just stop!
Our country deserves better!
