Obama’s spying scandal is starting to look a lot like Watergate
nyPOST ^ | 5/27/2018 | MIchael Barone

“F.B.I. Used Informant to Investigate Russia Ties to Campaign, Not to Spy, as Trump Claims,” read the headline on a lengthy New York Times story May 18. “The Justice Department used a suspected informant to probe whether Trump campaign aides were making improper contacts with Russia in 2016,” read a story in the May 21 edition of The Wall Street Journal.

So much for those who dismissed charges of Obama administration infiltration of Donald Trump’s campaign as paranoid fantasy. Defenders of the Obama intelligence and law enforcement apparat have had to fall back on the argument that this infiltration was for Trump’s — and the nation’s — own good.

It’s an argument that evidently didn’t occur to Richard Nixon’s defenders when it became clear that Nixon operatives had burglarized and wiretapped the Democratic National Committee’s headquarters in June 1972.

It’s worse than Watergate. Obama turned federal officers into his personal secret police. Gestapo.

“Starting to look like Watergate?”

This makes Watergate look like a fraternity prank.

Hussein has a long history of using the legal system to spy on his opponents to find dirt to use in the campaign.

If a log falls in the woods and no one is around, does it still make a sound? If Obama’s spying is a scandal and the MSM does not report on it, is it still a scandal?

/s (kinda)

They’ll get away with it. Trump and Justice need to push forward to see that no one even thinks of doing it again.

Because it’s such an important part of draining the swamp I expect at least a handful of high level people will be going to prison.

In Watergate, it was Nixon’s actions AFTER the Burglary was exposed that led him to Resign.

At least there was no proof of his involvement beforehand, but opinions are varied.

They will never find a direct link to Obama, but his Minions were well aware of their Mission, from the IRS Louis Lerner Scandal all the way to this.

Electronic spying, physical spying with the help of law enforcement agencies and they still managed to lose the election in a landslide.

Wow! talk about a doozy!! No wonder the liberals and their media are having a conniption.

Overwhelming criminal actions and shameless bias did not work this time.

Is Barone pro-Trump, or is he an anti who is perhaps waking up?

Watergate was spitting on the sidewalk by comparison.

The same people changed ‘grossly negligent” to ‘careless’, and ‘the President’ to a ‘high ranking administration official’ and ‘spy’ to ‘confidential informant’ can and will do anything to protect the Deep State. Remember, it was Hillary herself that predicted that if Trump won, they would be swinging from nooses. A blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while. And she is nuttier than a squirrel turd.

Watergate...lol

Did Watergate involve the CIA, Federal Judges, FBI, DOJ, spooks traveling all over the planet setting up meetings, foreign agents, in addition to the Secretary of State, the President, top cabinet members...etc., etc.

The analogy in the article is a load of cow flop.
