CONSPIRACY THEORIES: What really happened to the Obamas’ chef?

If Tafari Campbell drowned tragically, then why are authorities refusing to disclose basic facts about the incident, including the identities of the sole witness and the 911 operator?

According to the Daily Mail, “Massachusetts State Police are covering up information about the drowning of Barack Obama’s personal chef, labeling the incident an accident but continuing to withhold information under the guise of an ongoing investigation,” reports Sara Gonzales.

“The state apparently is citing a public records law exemption that allows police to withhold any information that could jeopardize an act of investigation.”

That’s all well and good – except they’ve already ruled out foul play and deemed the incident an accident, which delegitimizes the necessity of an exemption.

The only thing that is still pending is Campbell’s toxicology report, “but clearly that would not affect anything,” says Sara.

So why the secrecy?

“I have several different theories,” Sara tells Stu Burguiere and Logan Hall.

She has a hard time reconciling how “this really strong swimmer … [drowned] in eight feet of water.”

Stu acknowledges that drowning accidents do happen, but the ongoing concealment of basic facts certainly raises suspicion.

“Let’s say this was nothing,” he ruminates. “They have to know that this is going to inspire thousands of conspiracy theories … so why not be as open and deliberate as possible?”

Sara agrees, adding that “some conspiracy theories are that [Tafari Campbell] was writing a book and … was found with head trauma and three to four feet of water was washed up on shore on the Obama estate, and then also that nobody called 911 for hours; Obama’s own personal coroner was flown from Washington, D.C., to perform the autopsy.”

“These are crazy things,” she admits, but “who are you going to trust? The mainstream media?”

“For the time being, until we get a different media ecosystem in there … you’re going to see a lot of conspiracy theories going viral,” adds Hall.

Personally, Sara thinks there’s a good chance that Campbell “could’ve done something to piss off Big Mike.”
