Trump accuses Obama of treason for ‘spying’ on his 2016 campaign
October 25, 2019 ^ | Paul Bedard

President Trump has ratched up his claim that the Obama White House spied on his 2016 campaign, charging in a new book that it was a “treasonous” act by the former Democratic president.

“What they did was treasonous, OK? It was treasonous,” he told author Doug Wead for his upcoming book, "Inside Trump's White House: The Real Story of His Presidency."

“The interesting thing out of all of this is that we caught them spying on the election. They were spying on my campaign. So you know? What is that all about?” said Trump.

“I have never ever said this, but truth is, they got caught spying. They were spying,” said Trump who then added, “Obama.”

Is it treasonous to enlist foreign governments to spy for you?

In 1972 Richard Nixon’s re-election campaign slogan was “Nixon’s the one.” In 1974 the Democrats started using “Nixon’s the one” in the run up to impeachment. Now “0bama’s the one.” Of course he is the one who ordered Clapper and Brennan to spy on Trump. I cannot wait until those dirt bags start squealing to shorten their prison sentences.

Obama is one of the many 3rd rails conservatives are supposed to stay away from.

On top of that, President Trump suggested that Obama's Social Seciruty taxes should partially go into a private fund (just kidding).

It is about time that Trump put the hay down where the goats can get it.

They have all accused Trump of treason for years, but it is no doubt racism for anyone to say that about the actual traitor.

The POTUS is doing to the word treason what the Progs have done to the word racist. If I could have one wish about Pres. Trump fulfilled it would be to learn that hyperbole is effective only in limited use.

Can Liberals do ANYTHING without cheating or lying?

Think of that minute. The lies and more lies to cover UP the other lies…. They are so lost.

It’s inconceivable for them to undertake ANY activity without lying and cheating. Incredible! It’s their ‘default’

He is not wrong. If we had an honest media in America, everybody in America would know this fact hands down. It has taken the combined might of the entire US print and TV media along with the likes of NPR to hide this fact.

But you can’t conceal the truth forever. It is coming out, which is great, but greater still if it ends with a perp walk. Obama is untouchable but most of the players could be indicted if Barr has the will and is the honest man he is reputed to be. I just don’t know. Here is to hoping, but not holding my breath either.

No, under our Constitution is has one and only one specific definition.

““Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.”

Obama, the FBI and CIA engaged in sedition

Its More than spying. I don’t like that they stop at spying. The reality is that they tried to rig an election. They tried to thwart the peaceful transition of power. They lied all over the place. And I think they can use anti-mafia laws like racketeering laws (RICO) against the Obama administration.

A little misleading headline. Trump uses the word they not Obama. We all know what he meant though.

Obama’s Justice Department charged Snowden with treasonous federal crimes under the 1917 Espionage Act. Washington Post says he probably didn't commit treason

Could also be you're on of those "depends on what the meaning of "is" is.

Had a bunch of spooks spied on Obama in 2008 and it led back to the FBI/CIA or the Bush administration, the Democrats and the media would have totally flipped out and called it “impeachable” and “treasonous”.

But since it’s Trump, they just cheer it on.

PDJT is always ahead of the game.

The only question remaining is will Brennan and Comey lie to protect Obama.
