Fmr President Obama Made 'Surprise Visit' to Hawaii, Days Before Judge Issued Travel Ban Ruling
By Kyle Becker
UPDATE: This story has been removed from IJR.com.
Editor's Note: This story has been updated to remove unnecessary speculation about the timing of the visit. We apologize for any undue conclusions that might have been drawn from the report.
Former President Barack Obama made a surprise visit to Oahu this week, just days ahead of a controversial ruling on President Trump's new travel ban executive order issued by a Hawaiian judge. The travel ban ruling, issued by U.S. District Judge Derrick K. Watson, was blasted by President Trump as a case of unprecedented judicial overreach. Watson is a former Harvard classmate of President Obama

....(do they have Obama's full schedule in advance?) and connecting it to the Hawaiian court decision.
Did Obama immediately turn around and fly to Maryland prior to THEIR decision, too?
