Rand Paul: Another Senator Was Surveilled by the Obama Administration
Breitbart ^ | May 13, 20`7 | KRISTINA WONG

Posted on 05/14/2017 8:13:43 AM PDT by maggief

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) earlier this week revealed that another senator had told him that he was surveilled by the Obama administration. “I know one other senator who’s already confided to me that he was surveilled by the Obama administration, including his phone calls,” he told Fox News on Wednesday.

“So when this all comes out, if there are political figures from the opposition party, it’s a story bigger than any of the allegations with regard to Russian collusion,” he said.

Earlier this month, Paul announced that sources have told him that he has been surveilled by the Obama administration, and that he has requested information from the White House and the congressional intelligence committees on whether he has ever been surveilled, unmasked, or searched for in intelligence reports.

“It’s about your own government spying on the opposition party, that would be enormous if true,” he said. “I don’t know the truth. We’ve asked the intel committees, House and Senate, and I’ve also asked the White House, because there is this whole discussion of Susan Rice unmasking people,” he said.

Time for the Republicans to begin to react as the OPPOSITION party......there is a Constitutional crisis here, Obama clearly violated the separation of powers principle.

Could be Cruz but also Rubio

In fact, it is near certain that all Republican candidates were surveilled surreptitiously. The rogues in the CIA had their counterparts in the UK do the surveillance using jointly shared means.

That left the CIA bad guys (who must be stood against a wall and shot) with clean hands

The MSM will only report this kind of thing when they’re forced to do so. In the meantime, it’s driving people away from them and towards alternative media.

As soon as Hillary started complaining publicly about the so-called “alt-right,” I knew she was gonna lose. Millions and millions of people had never even heard about alternative news sites on the internet.

When they started looking into it, they discovered a whole buncha stuff about her that she lived to regret.

And as far as Republicans backing Trump? Get real, people! Trump’s no Republican! He just used them, and the party elites oppose him just as much as the Dims do.
