At this point, we need to know exactly WHO are the repubbie GROPElite-insiders on the Senate Intel Committee, and who - if any at all! - are conservatives on the Intel Committee.

The democrats are writing their report - we know that from the words and conclusions written. But WHO is allowing them to do this unchallenged? It would only take 1 or 2 to sabotage the “Senate Report” and produce something that can be used to sabotage Trump. The House members will remain in their totalitarian lock-step goose-marching as long as needed by Pelosi.

The Senate “could be” effective - but each committee seems determined to let ONE GROPElite-Bush-Washington Georgetown remnant to foul up the rest of the world .

It would take 6-8 conservatives to get an honest report and an honest investigation.

Lankford is no prize but at least he had the honor to quit this committee most likely in disgust.

EXCLUSIVE: The Obama Treasury Department Spied on Flynn, Manafort, and the Trump Family, beginning in December 2015
The Ohio Star ^ | 18 May 2020 | Neil W. McCabe / FR posted by Erik Latranyi

President Barack Obama’s Treasury Department regularly surveiled 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.(Excerpt) Read more at theohiostar.com ...

The “Members of Congress” being spied upon by Obama could be a goldmine of info.
Betcha good money, Obama was spying on DEMOCRATS.

Was Obama checking to see if Democrats were holding out on his share of the graft?

In today’s America, a president holds the keys to the behemoth federal government....he controls more than the executive branch:
the power to regulate everything on God's good earth and taxation policies that onerously affect every man, woman and child in America.

Not to mention a president's access to the US treasury.......giving him the biggest personal piggy bank on the globe.

The Obama admin quickly took control. Obama placed his COS Rham Emanuel IN the US Treasury----an unusual double job.

"Mr President, you are now in complete control of the US Treasury."

==========================================

THE SMOKING GUN---WSJ REPORT--On Jan 20, 2009 Timothy Geithner was appointed Obama's Secy of the Treasury. But within three weeks, the Obama White House tightened its grip on Treasury. Obama put his COS, Rahm Emanuel, in charge of Treasury---Rahm Emanuel's dual role was an unusual move. When he got to Treasury, WH COS Rahm Emanuel was so involved in the inner workings that the phrase "Rahm wants it" had become an unofficial mantra among subservient govt staffers, prostrate in obeisance, scurrying to accede to Rahm's wishes, according to Treasury government officials. Reported by WSJ / 05/31/09
