Can someone put this article in an unbiased context. Surely this wasn't happening.

I don't meet your criteria as unbiased. Read about this today. In no way shocks me. If they can send money and people to Israel to defeat Bibi during an election, this is minor compared to that intervention.

Obama may be untouchable on this matter, but hopefully this will get enough attention to help curb his current operation.

They are setting up their counter Trump operation to try and save Obama's "legacy"

If the groups were more balanced (left-right) would you have a problem with the practice?

It's fox news ... they just give anything and anybody an official sounding title regardless of whether it's true or not. What actually happened is that the government funded the DOJ, and there are democrats in the DOJ and so to Fox News Obama was funneling billions to a "leftist group".

Yes.

 

[Boomboom521]

Yes.

I admit it's a slippery slope, but I like the idea of a President getting funds to "hands on" groups that support things they believe in. But it's probably not a practice that should have been allowed

That's not the function of the presidency.

Money should go to the treasury. Just another govt shake down.

You have got to be kidding. groups that any President wants to get funds from a govt shakedown or any fine should be prosecuted.

What if it's a White Supremacist group? Where is the oversight to ensure the funds are being used in the best interest of the country? What are we getting for our money? What if it's funding lobbyists? What if the money is shaved off the top by a Sharpton type organization and then funneled into campaign war chests?
