[Just mythoughts]

Wonder what they had on the 16 other GOP primary contenders? It is my opinion that Obama gave the ‘green light’ to do what ever it took to stop candidate Trump in February of 2016.

They spied on everyone. This started before they knew that Trump would be the GOP candidate - and I'm sure they thought Trump had no chance of getting the nomination. Papadopolous was in the Ben Carson campaign before he latched on to the Trump campaign (he also worked in the State Dept. during HRC's tenure). Obama and Co. had 8 years to fill the swamp with dirty and devious people, and I'm sure they took full advantage of that opportunity.

And Trump still won.
