BACKGROUND – Political Surveillance..
CONSERVATIVE TREEHOUSE ^ | 7/18/2020 | SUNDANCE

Posted on 07/18/2020 7:56:42 PM PDT by bitt

With the release of transcripts and the declassification of material from within the IG report, the Carter Page FISA and Flynn documents showing FBI activity; and with the recent release from Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsay Graham; there is a common misconception about why the intelligence apparatus began investigating the Trump campaign in the first place. Why was Donald Trump considered a threat?

In this outline we hope to provide some fully cited deep source material that will explain the origin; and specifically why those inside the Intelligence Community & DOJ began targeting Trump and using Confidential Human Sources against campaign officials.

During the time-frame of December 2015 through April 2016 the NSA database was being exploited by contractors within the intelligence community doing unauthorized searches.

On March 9, 2016, oversight personnel doing a review of FBI system access were alerted to thousands of unauthorized search queries of specific U.S. persons within the NSA database.

NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers was made aware.

Subsequently NSA Director Rogers initiated a full compliance review of the system to identify who was doing the searches; & what searches were being conducted.

On April 18, 2016, following the preliminary audit results, Director Rogers shut down all FBI contractor access to the database after he learned FISA-702 “about”(17) and “to/from”(16) search queries were being done without authorization. Thus begins the first discovery of a much bigger background story.

Why was Donald Trump considered a threat?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Because he threatened to disrupt and possibly reverse the most important bipartisan project of the last 30 years, the fundamental transformation of the USA into North Mexico.

The life’s work of people like Flimsey Grahamnesty.

In essence, the Obama administration was continually lying to the FISA court about their activity, and the rate of fourth amendment violations for illegal searches and seizures of U.S. persons’ private information for multiple years.

Unfortunately, due to intelligence terminology Judge Collyer’s brief and ruling is not an easy read for anyone unfamiliar with the FISA processes. That complexity also helps the media avoid discussing it; and as a result most Americans have no idea the scale and scope of the Obama-era surveillance issues. So we’ll try to break down the language.

“Mike Rogers is an American hero”.

Needs repeating over and over and over again. Admiral Rogers’s actions were single-handedly responsible for alerting candidate Donald Trump of the illicit surveillance against his presidential campaign.

There was no effort to hide their identity or protect their 4th amendment rights of privacy; and database access was from the FBI network

The Democrats despise the Constitution/BoR, so it is no surprise that they would have no problem with violating the rights of American citizens.

The NSA has been a ticking time bomb for many years—it was just a matter of time before a bunch of sociopaths abused it for political espionage.

_That_ is the dirty little secret that the swamp creatures are trying to hide.

So, you thought doxxing him was the smart thing to do?

Did you see any address? I didn’t dox anyone. The guy was dicky because he got called out about backing Ron Rosenweasel. I never backed that weasel. He was the Deep State insert when Sessions got called out and ordered to step aside for their weasel.

Btw, as great as Admiral Rogers is, he did do the DC cya mode on President Trump at least once. He communicated concern about President Trump and was ready to turn on him too.

That’s another story though but people should understand it’s not all black and white.

Great history of Obama’s plans to overthrow any Republican president/administration who would interfere with his goal of “fundamentally transforming America” into a Marxist state friendly to Islamic extremists, weak on Russia, in the pocket of Red China, and soft on crime.
