President Barack Obama’s Treasury Department regularly surveilled retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn’s financial records and transactions beginning in December 2015 and well into 2017, before, during and after when he served at the White House as President Donald Trump’s National Security Director, a former senior Treasury Department official, and veteran of the intelligence community, told the Star Newspapers.
“I started seeing things that were not correct, so I did my own little investigation, because I wanted to make sure what I was seeing was correct” she said. “You never want to draw attention to something if there is not anything there.”
The whistleblower said she only saw metadata, that is names and dates when the general’s financial records were accessed. “I never saw what they saw.”
By March 2016, the whistleblower said she and a colleague, who was detailed to Treasury from the intelligence community, became convinced that the surveillance of Flynn was not tied to legitimate criminal or national security concerns, but was straight-up political surveillance among other illegal activity occurring at Treasury.
“When I showed it to her, what she said, ‘Oh, sh%t!’ and I knew right then and there that I was right – this was some shady stuff,” the whistleblower said.
“It wasn’t just him,” the whistleblower said. “They were targeting other U.S. citizens, as well.”
Only two names are listed in the whistleblower’s official paperwork, so the others must remain sealed, she said. The second name is Paul J. Manafort Jr., the one-time chairman of Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.
The other names include: Members of Congress, the most senior staffers on the 2016 Trump campaign and members of Trump’s family, she said.

The truth doesn’t matter any longer. Nothing is going to happen to the coup conspirators and O’Basdtard. Nothing to see here. Move along.
Look at how Obama won his Senate seat....by the leak of his Republican rival's divorce records.
Look at how Obamacare was approved in the Supreme Court...by Justice Roberts being blackmailed over the questionable adoption of his children.
Look at how Obama IRS blocked conservative groups from forming 401c(3) organizations that could have been effective in the 2012 campaign.
Look at how Romney came out swinging and then was turned into a cowering dog and obedient servant to Obama.
Look at the surveillance of Trump that began in 2016 to support Hillary's campaign.
Look at how Hillary accepted help from Russians to create the Steele Dossier and then to charge Trump with doing that.
The list is endless. Obama/Clinton have weaponized our gov't, including the judiciary. Who knows how much dirt they have on lifetime appointed judges nationwide.

While it may seem that Durham is “dragging his feet”, what may actually be happening is that the attempted coup is much broader and deeper than they could have anticipated. As he is uncovering more and more, they have to keep following the leads before wrapping up. With that being said, if Trump is not reelected, this all goes away and will be played in the media as a “vast right wing conspiracy”. They will have succeeded and will NEVER give up power again. This next election is the MOST important election in our history.
The obscure source plus unserious seeming whistleblower (”oh shit” and botched initial filing) make me doubt the traction potential here.
Members of congress were spied on by the Treasury dept.
I bet their party affiliation was republican. Will there be any democrats on the list?
Maybe Bernie, that’s about it.
Obama should be tried for Treason, convicted and dealt with by the proper authorities accordingly.
ORRRR.... if there was nothing wrong with what Obama’s cronies did, then Trump has full permission to do what Obama did to his campaign opponents this election and next.
I’m sure the media and democrats will have no problem with that since Obama and company were A OK.

Remember all the never Trumpers and how bad the republicans were fighting Trump after he got elected.
It is the uniparty. The washington swamp dwellers.
They all need to be taken down. No matter what party they are.
The list is endless. Obama/Clinton have weaponized our gov’t, including the judiciary. Who knows how much dirt they have on lifetime appointed judges nationwide.
Bingo and therein lies the problem. A bunch of compromised leaders who play kabuki theater on cue with each other.
Throw in the “ sexual harassment fund” and I’m sure theres dirt to oust members who won’t play the game....
Yes. I would be shocked if more spying than is known now was done against Trump etc, but why would the “whistle blower” pick this source to leak to?
...and so they can ruin her, and her family’s, lives forever using the Propaganda arm of the DNC.

Yep, this will be the first ignored whistleblower in years.

Why was Flynn targeted in 2015? What had he done to incur scrutiny? Did this begin with one person with a grudge against Flynn or was there more to it? Who started targeting Flynn in 2015 and why?
I’m betting that we eventually find out that Obama Inc. started spying on Trump within days (or maybe even hours) of his questioning Barry’s birth certificate
They’ve already seen every line of every tax return he’s ever filed
They probably did long ago, but we are only hearing of this now. The floodgates of truth may very well be opening.
Also, their lives were very much at risk.... like Epstein who didn’t kill himself, or the hundred+ other Clinton Body Count victims...
