All of Hillary’s Foreigners
American Spectator ^ | Jan 03, 2018 | George Neumayr

Posted on 01/03/2018 2:21:29 AM PST by Oshkalaboomboom

The media’s cheerleaders for the investigation into the Trump-Russia fable claim that its importance lies in keeping American elections pure of foreign interference. They have been posturing as great defenders of American sovereignty, a stance that normally makes them uneasy. But even as they pretend to worry about interference, they seek to sanitize an investigation that is the product of foreign interference: the Obama administration, according to increasingly desperate reports, relied on the “intelligence” of a shifting array of foreign spies and diplomats to launch its probe into Trumpworld.

Such reliance is supposed to make the investigation sound more credible, as if Hillary’s supporters in the Obama administration were loath to undertake the investigation but only did so after receiving devastating intelligence from “trusted allies.” That reliance, instead, shows the investigation to be even more slipshod and unfair, the poisoned fruit of an international liberal elite gunning for Trump. What emerges from these deliberately leaked stories from the Obama holdovers — the latest installment is the New York Times’s pathetic story about the probe stemming from the gossip of an Australian diplomat who partied with Trump volunteer George Papadopoulos — is a picture of Hillary supporters, at home and abroad, seconding each other’s anti-Trump hysteria.

It is obvious that the Times article comes from Obama holdovers who want to divert attention from ex-British spy Christopher Steele, now that he has been exposed as a paid dirt-digger for Hillary. Until that exposure, the media had been describing Steele as a “trusted” source and didn’t seem to mind staking the Trump probe on his work. Suddenly, the Times is insisting that he is irrelevant and that the FBI only talked to him out of an abundance of caution (never mind that that entailed flying over to Europe to speak with him).

When the indictments of low level ex-Hillary aides begin, how many do you think will risk Arkancide and flip against her?

Another good piece by Neumayer. That said, I’d be really surprised if anyone on the Dem side ever gets indicted for anything, no matter how blatantly they have lied, fabricated and misled (even under oath).

Many of them were already granted immunity in earlier investigations during the Obama years, particularly in the case of Hilary’s bathroom server and the professional deletion of the emails after they had already been subpoenaed by investigators. The Justice Department, at that time under the horrible Loretta Lynch, was completely corrupt and complicit in doing whatever Obama wanted to cover up the misdeeds of bumblimg Hillary. But I think that it goes even further, and that this spying, misuse of intelligence agencies and planting of misinformation is a long-term strategy that goes back to Obama himself and his advisers.

Obama's DOJ covered up the misdeeds of bumbling Hillary. But Team Obama's incessant surveillance, misuse of intelligence agencies and planting of misinformation goes way back......... to Obama himself and his advisers.

It's about time the Obama Crime Syndicate and his Police State operations are investigated.

We are beginning to get a better picture of how sinister the Obama operation really is (it's still functioning via his non-profit OFA ut of his DC residence).

The genesis of the Democrats' "win at any cost" odious Russia misinformation campaign is suddenly clearer.

BACKSTORY Through the last half of 2016, the Obama administration was desperately searching for evidence of some link between the Trump presidential campaign and Russia.

<><> They went to great lengths, falsifying requests, twice seeking, then finally obtaining, a court-ordered FISA, that allowed them to spy on at least one Trump associate.

<><> We now know that Obama's NSA henchman, Susan "The Sifter" Rice, had an operation wherein raw NSA intelligence was sifted through for names of Trump associates, in hopes of uncovering dirt of some sort. These efforts came up dry. The Obama administration found no compromising information about Trump or any of his associates.

<><> Ever since the Trump Inauguration, the Democratic Party, especially its NY/DC press wing, has relentlessly pushed the Trump/Russia story. But that hasn’t stopped Democrat factotums in the press from talking about little else for the last three months.

<><>This is the kicker----- all along, the Democrats have known that their spying produced nothing.

This whole Obama/Comey/Mueller/Democrat spy apparat is almost unbelievably sordid. The relevant Congressional committees should investigate thoroughly, and criminal prosecutions should follow where laws have been broken.

The tumultuous events that unfolded after the election and reelection of Barack Obama bring to mind the words of author Mary Shelley when her character, Victor Frankenstein, says: “I live in daily fear lest the evil monster whom I created should perpetrate some new wickedness.”

Many may well have been kept in the dark. Comey gave many big fish immunity for nothing in return which is an investigation into itself. No idea how far reaching the scope of that immunity is.

It all begins with the release of the DOJ OIG report. From that will stem the initial grand jury proceedings against those FBI personnel involved in the corrupt Hillary Clinton email probe, then evidence will be discovered to indict yet other for their role in the Uranium One and other Hillary Clinton pay to play scandals. Then indictments will be forthcoming against DOJ and FBI personnel who conspired to influence an American election by working with one political party to illegally spy on their opponent’s campaign. Not to mention potential charges for seidition by trying to undermine a duly elected president and his administration.

2018 is gonna be yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuggggeee...
