Has the Obama administration desperately tried to hide “devastating secrets” from the American people? This is a question that JudicialWatch President Tom Fitton affirmatively answers in his new book, “The Corruption Chronicles.” In an exclusive interview with TheBlaze, he recently outlined some of the most pervasive details and issues that administration officials have allegedly attempted to hide from the public.
Fitton said that he was motivated to put the book together after looking over all of the materials that JudicialWatch, a non-profit devoted to education and transparency, had compiled over the years.
“To place Obama in context, you have to go back through the Bush and Clinton administrations,” he explained. “The book traces the arc of corruption in the Clinton administration through the Bush presidency, where you had this explosion of government secrecy…”
While the book spans the three administrations, Fitton contends that his organization had enough material on the Obama years, alone, to provide more than one volume on corruption. But throughout the interview, he also made it a point to highlight the fact that “corruption and big government and big secrecy…didn’t begin with Obama and [they] won’t end with Obama.”
From the bailouts — which started under President George W. Bush — to the Fast and Furious scandal, Fitton’s book covers it all, while highlighting the often-corrupt ways in which Washington operates. It’s a book that he believes every American should read. Even Democrats and liberals, who may typically find themselves turned-off by JudicialWatch’s conservative views, will likely be surprised to find that the book also takes aim at Bush’s policies.

“You can’t rely on Congress and the media and the typical branches of government to provide oversight,” Fitton said. “You have to take it into your own hands. JudicialWatch is showing that.”
Considering that this is an election year — and considering that Obama is a key figure analyzed in the book — TheBlaze asked the author to highlight the five most pervasive secrets that the president’s administration has tried to conceal. Here they are:
1) Fast and Furious: A press release for the book promises that readers will, “See the truth behind the scandal code-named Fast and Furious, a government program that supplied thousands of firearms to murderous criminals in Mexico — and for which Attorney General Eric Holder was convicted of contempt of Congress (and now possible disbarment!).”
TheBlaze has covered this scandal in detail, with our most recent story detailing a high-ranking Mexican drug cartel operative’s claim that Fast and Furious isn’t what many people think it is. While many on the left deem the scandal surrounding the operation politically-motivated, there’s no doubt that the administration — particularly Holder — has gone to great lengths to ensure that some documentation remains out of reach.

2) White House Czars: When Obama first entered office, his use of so-called “czars” came under fire. Fitton claims that their activities are among the most protected elements within the administration. The press release for the book encourages readers: “Be appalled by the Constitution-defying czars – appointed by the president or his administration, the current count is 45.”
In 2011, JudicialWatch completed a report about these public officials. The executive summary explains some of the issues with these individuals, who were appointed by Obama and his staffers:
This Judicial Watch Special Report examines President Obama’s unprecedented appointment and use of unconfirmed and unaccountable policy advisors or “czars” throughout his administration. Presidents typically have advisors with whom they can discuss and devise policy initiatives. In recent years, however, presidential advisors have taken on powerful new roles in the government without undergoing the process of Senate confirmation.
Unaccountable czars, many working in the White House, are being given unprecedented authority over major aspects of government policy. As is discussed herein, President Obama has appointed a number of controversial persons to czar posts, a few of whom have subsequently resigned. Others remain, despite controversy.
Their activities and their exact roles, Fitton says, are secretive in nature.
3) Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac: The third secret involves government-sponsored mortgage companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Fitton told TheBlaze that “never before has so much money been spent with so little oversight.” In February, TheBlaze reported that millions in taxpayer funds were used to defend three executives associated with the company. This, of course, is only one of the many stories surrounding Fannie and Freddie.
Considering that both institutions were essentially taken over by the U.S. government in 2008, JudicialWatch maintains that documents pertaining to political donations, for instance, are subject to FOIA requests. But the administration has claimed that there is no need for either Freddie or Fannie to release these documents.

4) Details Surrounding the Bin Laden Raid: Fitton claims that the Obama administration has maintained secrecy over details surrounding the raid that killed terrorist Osama bin Laden. Late last month, UPI reported that JudicialWatch had filed a FOIA lawsuit against the U.S. Navy for information about the raid. The organization is seeking details about ”any funeral ceremony, rite or ritual” that was performed before bin Laden’s burial at sea.
The group is also seeking any and all communications and records surrounding the terrorist’s funeral. Here’s what Fitton told UPI in relation to the case:
President Barack Obama ”is playing politics with bin Laden’s death and ignoring the rule of law — especially the transparency laws that his appointees violate with impunity…I suspect the Obama administration is embarrassed by the burial ceremony, which explains our having to go to court to get basic information about this important piece of history.”

5) Justice Elena Kagan’s Role in Crafting ObamaCare: Despite the fact that the Supreme Court has made its voice heard on Obamacare, many still have questions about Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan‘s early role in discussing the legislation’s path to the high court. Politico explains the debate surrounding Kagan, particularly when it comes to her potential role in defending health care:
Conservative groups like Judicial Watch and the Media Research Council, along with some Republican lawmakers, pressed Kagan to recuse herself. They noted her exchanges of emails about the law with colleagues, and they suspected she was involved in administration discussions about legal strategy to respond to the case. Administration officials insisted she avoided all substantive discussions about the Justice Department’s efforts to plan a defense of the law.
The basic concern on the part of those calling for Kagan’s recusal seemed to be that she would effectively rubber-stamp the Obama health care law.
“I think the reason she was appointed was to provide votes like this on ‘Obamacare,’” Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton said Tuesday.
In the end, some have defended Kagan, claiming that she actually broke with Democrats over her agreement with Chief Justice John Roberts that the Medicaid expansion is unconstitutional. Still, she supported the majority of the controversial law.
In November 2011, JudicialWatch obtained documents from Kagan’s time as U.S. solicitor general that the group claims raised questions about her involvement in Department of Justice discussions about Obamacare. The group filed a FOIA lawsuit in an attempt to secure documents from Kagan’s pre-Supreme Court post to assess whether there was a conflict of interest in her involvement in the high court’s review of the individual mandate.
These are just some of the secrets that were purportedly concealed by the Obama administration. You can read about the rest in Fitton’s “The Corruption Chronicles.”

This would prove without a doubt that the majority of the people would rather fall into a deep socialist sleep where Big Brother Government has complete and total control of our lives, and our children will be like the multitudes in China, being simply just another number. How sad this “new life” will be, as our transformation of America becomes complete.

He will probably pull the economy out of the doldrums temporarily while stealthily implementing bigger government with more controls over our lives. You will just be trading in an in-your-face neo-Marxist for a behind-your-back liberal progressive. Our only real hope is a tea party take over of both chambers of Congress.

Posted on August 13, 2012 at 11:28amI’m glad my comments brought on a conversation. The question remains, would you rather have four more years of this utter garbage or make the change to Romney/Ryan? Who is the lesser of two evils? These are our options. If you pick a third party on the ballot form then we will surely have Hussein for another four. By chosing Ryan, Romney is proving he wants to work on our economy. He didn’t go with a placcid VP. I doubt that he‘s going to have the socialist progressive Czars like Hussein’s. Did I have a warm fuzzy feeling when Romney was chosen to run? No. But, I am going to remain fixed on getting things turned around – and yes, we do need to also focus on getting the RHINOS out of the House and the Senate. I’m done whining. It’s time to move on.

Posted on August 13, 2012 at 11:35amSorry guys, don’t get me wrong, I like Ryan,but with Paul Ryan as VP pick, Romney just insured his loss in the election. Here’s why. Romney only had a 50/50 shot before the VP pick, he needed to pick up either more hispanic votes or more black votes. Now since the hispanics, unlike the blacks to vote in blocks for one political party, not picking Rubio was not a that big deal, though it would have given him a 55% shot at winning. He should have chosen Allen West for a couple of reasons. 1) West would have given him 10-20% more of the black vote, thus taking away that much of the black vote from Obama. 2) Picking West would have let Romney use a leftist play and say we can make history and elect the first black vice president. 3) The race card would not have worked so well with a black VP pick, and we all know that since Romney and Ryan are going to be considered clean cut whites, that the race card game from the left is going to go into overdrive. The US short of a revolution is dead as we know it.

The US Catholic church has lost its way. Just like certain black churches, where it is more about political parties and power than what the Bible actually says. WHen Christ says help the poor, he does not mean support the lazy or support the destruction of the family. Just can’t see Christ saying “yeah give that lady a welfare check and some food stamps so that she can afford to leave her husband or worse yet never have a husband”. Yes lets create generations of fatherless children. In Proverbs it says “If a man won’t work, he shouldn’t eat”. There is a difference between “won’t“ and ”can’t”.

Enough of the lies and twisting of truth. It is your beloved Obama who is setting up death panels for the elderly. Catholics are far more concerned with being forced into paying for abortions, and your granny story is a liberal lie. We the People know the truth.
“Plus do you think Americans will pick a hypocrite like Romney who demanded several years of tax while refuse to show the American public, his boss, the same.”
We the People know from personal experience how the IRS operates because we are the only ones actually paying taxes. He would have long ago been under attack by the IRS if there were any unpaid taxes, just like they do to us. If you paid taxes rather than live off welfare you would have known this and would not be lying claiming you represent the people. We know it is you libs demanding records to pick apart and attack. We the People made no such demand and we are sick of you making up lies and then claiming it is us taxpayers who are speaking the words you libs create.

Posted on August 13, 2012 at 1:27pmencinom, two main groups come here. Informed Americans who know and care, and liberal trolls like you. Who are you trying to convince? Trolls? You waste your time with us. Obama gutted over 700 billion from Medicare. Ryan’s plan affects no one over 55, and allows those on it to stay if they wish to. Bush tried to stop the housing nightmare begun by Clinton and Dems blocked Him, thereby allowing the collapse. Medicare as run currently is bankrupting the nation. Ryan’s plan would have saved it and us.
Do you support Obamas and the Democrats over 700 billion dollar cuts in Medicare? Do you support Obamas destruction of private insurance companies and His endless taking over of private enterprise? Did you know the economy started tanking when the Democrats took over in 2006 and the collapse has accelerated exponentially under Obama? Are you coming here with misinformation and lies in hopes of brainwashing us or are you merely one of the brainwashed liberal zombies who thinks they know yet do not?
In short are you a wickedly corrupt deceiver or are you merely a mentally deficient fool who is immersed in lies and propaganda?

Posted on August 13, 2012 at 2:17pmWe watched stock footage on-line from the 2008 election and something caught our eyes; a local news story in Houston was panning around the campaign headquarters there and on the wall was Obama’s “Hope” painting and what was right next to it………a poster of the communist murderer Che Guevara – This is at the democratic campaign office! Then we looked further into it and found pictures of Che at two other Obama campaign offices. That’s only three, image how many more are out there that aren’t on film! My jaw dropped seeing this. Imagine if Romney’s campaign had Charles Manson posters on the wall what the media would do. Instead, the idiots that filmed the news story in Houston just did a normal interview and completely ingnored the poster of Che. Anyway, we did screen grabs on all of those and have no idea who to send them to but people need to be in the know. One more interesting fact we discovered is that Obama is the only President to not swear an oath to the constitution/country on the Bible. In 2009, during his inauguration Justice Roberts and Obama messed up the oath. The next day Roberts had to “re-swear” in the President because the first oath was incorrect. Guess what? Obama said “the Bible wasn’t important” and swore with just his hand in the air (research it yourself on-line and see the pictures for yourself). So, technically, he did not swear to uphold the constitution but basically raised his hand and said “I swear by Me.”

2. When the rich build their mansions, then he should be required to build the same mansions for all of his poor workers around his mansion. (He could save money by making his private swimming pool public)
3. If the boss has membership at a resort, he should pay for his poor workers membership also.
4. Hot cars should be purchased for each of his poor workers also if the rich boss enjoys them.
5. Drugs, if the boss does drugs he should buy drugs for all of his poor workers. It is only fair.
6. Company stocks: This is how the wealthy really make their money. The poor workers should get the same stock option deals as their bosses. They work harder anyway.
7. Hot chicks. If the rich get to hook up with hot chicks, then their poor workers should get the same.

Posted on August 13, 2012 at 10:14amCan see you bought all of the Big Lies that the divisive Democrats have been spewing to divide this country. No. The secret of America is that everyone has the freedom and opportunity to be economically successful but no one is guaranteed that they will. Most people who become wealthy work WITH others to become successful . And the pull others up with them. Look at Oprah . Classic example. The old truth that ” what goes around, comes around” ensures that fact. The one group I see taking advantage of others is the Democrat Party: stirring up unrest; pitting Americans against Americans; and keeping the “poor” poor due to their divisive, dysfunctional politics and their angry rhetoric. All for the votes the Democrats can buy with this damaging behavior. Disgusting criminals.

Posted on August 13, 2012 at 10:33amPlease take the word “Patriot” out of your user name. People like you use the word “Patriot” when it is CONVENIENT and when you want everyone else to think you are concerned about our country. You mis-use it when you use it just like every other liberal. Remember Hillary’s screeching rebuke about liberals use of the term? Per the dictionary, a patriot is one who loves his or her country and supports its authority and interests.
Notice that Webster’s definition says nothing about entitlements. And it does not mean that you are a patriot just because you have lived in the USA all of your life. Nor does it mean that everyone who “wants” (to use your own term) everything everyone else has is a patriot, which is your unspoken premise.
No. A patriot is one who labors quietly and are paid up on our taxes. We willingly give to charity to help our fellow man. And when we see something we want, we work harder and save until we can afford whatever it is. If we cannot afford something out of our budgets, and if we cannot save enough to obtain it, we do not get it. But most of all, we do not expect the government to simply give it to us.
And that, Marengo Ohio Fantasizer, is what everyone who misused Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac has done. Just because some people jet around in private aircraft, doesn’t mean that I should be able to travel that way as well. I can’t afford it, because I don’t EARN enough, but I don’t expect the government to give me one.

That’s what I call “they deserved it”.

Fannie and Freddie are going to be the ruin of this country, and I hope someday it is revealed how totally corrupt this government tied “funding” institution is. Do you have any grasp of the idea that work begets compensation, and that one has to live within their means? What you spew here is what got us into the mess in the first place – when the government pushed banks into lending money to people who could not/would not pay back the big loans. This is what is currently happening with our country’s debt. The government is not living within their means. Personally, our household found a fixer-upper 15 years ago at $49,000 and with a little “sweat equity” is now valued three times that amount. We never ask for a handout, we work, and we stock up and save. With the state of this economy, food and fuel prices, maybe you should start thinking about the same.

Posted on August 13, 2012 at 8:41amWhere to begin so much corruption to digest and it‘s like the author states it isn’t just Obama,he includes Bush and Clinton as well. I believe it goes back further maybe a century when progressives began their assault on the constitution and our form of government.
Men in positions of power almost always become corrupt,crony capitalism which we’ve had for so long is destroying our country and needs to be ended and return to free market capitalism.

Posted on August 13, 2012 at 9:57amMCDAVE: Bill Clinton and the Affordable Housing Act: started the economic collapse we are still experiencing. Loans to “ poor minorities” who were being discriminated against because they were ” poor minorities.” That was a brilliant move by people who wanted to destroy our economy. Ah, the Discrimination Card and the damage it has done.

Posted on August 13, 2012 at 10:21amAhem! So why do you baa-baa after Ron Paul? Our Founding Fathers would have been appalled by career politicians like him. Term limits for all branches of government. That‘s the Republic’s #1 need — no exceptions.
Report Post »progressiveslayer
Posted on August 13, 2012 at 1:29pmKrypto I don‘t baa baa after anyone and as far as term limits I’m all for it. Paul was out of politics for a while so characterizing him as a ‘lifetime politician’ is tenuous at best and if you can produce one vote that Paul took to expand the size of the federal government or raise taxes I’ll eat your hat.

Posted on August 13, 2012 at 8:52pmI prefer the term “career politician,” but I see you have chosen Clinton’s foolproof Is-Is Model, to determine the meaning of the word “lifetime.” Why am I not surprised?
Now, if I recall correctly, RP has spent between 26-28 yrs. preaching the gospel of restoration in D.C. Wow, you gotta admit that TWENTY-SIX YEARS of being “despised and rejected by men” is quite the messianic cross. I would characterize it as a “lifetime,” but what the heck. Let’s draw the line at 30+. It’s an appealing number, and exonerates Perfect Paul of any wrongdoing.

You hit the nail on the head. I too have often thought what causes this phenomenon in the filthy rich. Some are born with the silver spoon and others come up from the gutter but they all use the same freedom that they cannot get anywhere else on earth and then hate the people who died for their filthy hides. The world is insane.

Posted on August 13, 2012 at 8:54amMicurmedgeon – I for one, CONCUR. Actually, he should have been impeached and convicted a long time ago but, unfortunately, we didn’t have a Senate that would carry through. Can anyone image, if he is re-elected (Heaven Forbid), of seeing him on inauguration day, standing there with his hand on the Bible and reciting, once again, the oath of the Presidency? I would find it gravely insulting to hear him say, “…will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States” when he has done just the opposite for these past four years. That is why he should be impeached AND convicted; for violating his Constitutional oath. God help us all if he is re-elected.

Posted on August 14, 2012 at 2:22pmWhat about the worthless Senate? No Constitutionally Mandated budget in over three years. EVERY THING the House passes just gets tabled by Harry Reid. The House‘s spine can’t be seen thanks to Reid’s complacency. And that‘s saying it much more kindly than I’d like to. Reid is a worthless loser that needs to permanently move to Alcatraz and take all of his Democrat communists with him.
