Scholar who brought Obama into Chicago Law School held Top Intelligence Clearance


Around the time former federal judge Michael McConnell lobbied Obama into a teaching position at Chicago Law School, he held top military and intelligence clearance, reporting directly to Presidents Reagan and Bush on the “legality of US intelligence operations.”

By his own admission, constitutional scholar Michael W. McConnell- ironically a current “Reaganite for Romney” and fierce opponent of Obamacare- lobbied to get Barack Obama to lecture at Chicago Law School- in effect launching his lecturing career at the University- which in itself turned out to be the platform from which he was catapulted into the US Senate and by extension, the Presidency.
