The chances are 100% that Mitt Romney's 2012 presidential campaign was being wiretapped and monitored by 0bama's government.

Crickets from the #FakeStreamMedia, and from Uniparty Mitt the Minion himself.

AND they are slowly and methodically removing/negating the GOP mouthpieces through “outrage”..... O’Reilly gone, Drudge seems to be a little wishy washy lately...

think Romney was eavesdropped on during 2012? see page 22

https://cryptome.org/2017/03/Trumps-Fiber-Rings-NSA-Eavesdropping-03-17-2017.pdf

This is a 40 page PDF: obviously too big to post here.

Conclusions from the article:

Conclusions

Historically, incumbent Presidents order espionage (to include eavesdropping) against the candidate of the party that opposes them.

This election linked espionage may include illegal eavesdropping from one political party against the other party, or it may involve espionage inside the respective parties.

Historically, the NSA has been used for this sort of eavesdropping, but other agencies may be involved as well.
It would have been astoundingly unusual for President Obama not to order the eavesdropping of Candidate Trump, or Candidate Sanders.

The NSA has a partnership agreement with the intelligence services of four other nations, to include the British GCHQ through the Five Eyes partnership.6)By performing a “Reach Around” the NSA can provide GCHQ with access to the private communications of a Presidential candidate, so that GCHQ writes up the information contained in the intercept, which GCHQ then leaks through various deniable sources to the media in order to control U.S. elections.

President Trump has a legitimate claim that the NSA eavesdropped on him during the Presidential campaign of 2016.

President Trump has a legitimate claim that the NSA routed signals out of Trump Tower to GCHQ, who were an integral mechanism to attempt to manipulate the U.S. Elections.

President Trump claims that President Obama had his wires tapped are legitimate, credible, and viable.

It is highly probable that President Obama did in fact violated the Fourth Amendment and attempted to sabotage the Presidential Campaign of Donald Trump by using the NSA and its various eavesdropping programs.

PING!!!

Back to the thread

See #47

Excerpt:
President Trump has a legitimate claim that the NSA eavesdropped on him during the Presidential campaign of 2016.

President Trump has a legitimate claim that the NSA routed signals out of Trump Tower to GCHQ, who were an integral mechanism to attempt to manipulate the U.S. Elections.

President Trump claims that President Obama had his wires tapped are legitimate, credible, and viable.

Thanks, bitt

Smith continues:

“At some point, the administration weaponized the NSA’s legitimate monitoring of communications of foreign officials to stay one step ahead of domestic political opponents,” says a pro-Israel political operative who was deeply involved in the day-to-day fight over the Iran Deal.

“The NSA’s collections of foreigners became a means of gathering real-time intelligence on Americans engaged in perfectly legitimate political activism — activism, due to the nature of the issue, that naturally involved conversations with foreigners.

We began to notice the White House was responding immediately, sometimes within 24 hours, to specific conversations we were having. At first, we thought it was a coincidence being amplified by our own paranoia. After a while, it simply became our working assumption that we were being spied on.

This is what systematic abuse of foreign-intelligence collection for domestic political purposes looks like:

Intelligence collected on Americans, lawmakers, and figures in the pro-Israel community was fed back to the Obama White House as part of its political operations. The administration got the drop on its opponents by using classified information, which it then used to draw up its own game plan to block and freeze those on the other side.

And — with the help of certain journalists whose stories (and thus careers) depend on high-level access — terrorize them. Once you understand how this may have worked, it becomes easier to comprehend why and how we keep being fed daily treats of Trump’s nefarious Russia ties.

The issue this time isn't’t Israel, but Russia, yet the basic contours may very well be the same.

If we can combine the Israeli spying for political benefit with the Kucinich/Sharyll Atkisson hits and the gross abuses perpetrated on candidate Trump adm. we should have enough for a legitimate prosecution of the thugocracy.

I wouldn’t be surprised in the least. It’s how the Dems operate. Before the computer age, the Clintons used the FBI files against their political opponents.

So was/are there anyone that Obama's deepstate thugs didn't spy on?

There were some FRiends who were spied on back during the birth certificate fiasco. I know I was.

“Just too good,the drain the swamp needs to be on a tee shirt....”

Excllent suggestion! Ben Garrison is my favorite political cartoonist.

Maybe a Freeper can get your suggestion on the road to being a product.

Out here in left wing Californicator land, we would need it printed on a kevlar jacket and a matching MAGA kevlar helmet with matching kevlar gloves.

“The NSA has a partnership agreement with the intelligence services of four other nations, to include the British GCHQ through the Five Eyes partnership.6)By performing a “Reach Around” the NSA can provide GCHQ with access to the private communications of a Presidential candidate, so that GCHQ writes up the information contained in the intercept, which GCHQ then leaks through various deniable sources to the media in order to control U.S. elections.”

So how long has this 5Eyes agreement with the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada been in action?

5 Eyes got its start during WWII, and went big time during the Cold War.

Take a few minutes when you can open a good beer or pour a good glass of wine. Take a baby aspirin and catch up on some long time history:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UKUSA_Agreement#Origins_.281940s.E2.80.931950s.29

Then, wait a day or so, repeat the beer or wine and aspirin and go to what has replaced 5 Eyes:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MUSCULAR_(surveillance_program)

Then, if you dare, repeat the pre meds and go to the link below to read about Prism which had replaced Muscular:
