Robert Barnes: Obama Encouraged ‘Deep State’ ‘De Facto Coup’ Against Trump
breitbart ^ | JOHN HAYWARD

Posted on 03/03/2017 12:03:25 PM PST by davikkm

On Friday’s Breitbart News Daily, SiriusXM host Alex Marlow asked attorney Robert Barnes about the campaign of leaks designed to damage the Trump administration, described by some observers as “deep state” career bureaucrats and/or holdovers from the Obama administration acting as saboteurs. Marlow wondered if there was any legal recourse for the Trump administration to halt this operation. “Yes, there is,” Barnes replied. “In fact, it’s one of the directions that a future investigation can take. A future investigation doesn’t have to focus on whatever it is the Democrats or liberals want. It can focus on the illegal leaks that took place.”

“As I mentioned the other day to a liberal lawyer friend of mine, the worst thing ever accused concerning Nixon was about using private resources to try to illegally spy on people. Here you had Obama’s people using the NSA to spy on his adversaries, and apparently include the CIA, the FBI, and members of the Department of Justice in that loop, in a manner that was not approved of by any court, that was not approved by even a FISA court – the special court that monitors certain kinds of surveillance,” he said.

the American People are informed many have a real good idea of what is happening. Obamahitler and soros and probably hillary are all in this plus holdovers from the fmr pres admin. I hope Trump prosecutes obama and throws him in gitmo.

Of all the prisons Obama could be thrown into (except for country-club prisons), Gitmo might offer him what he seems to like the most: Muslim gay companionship.

The United States now for all intents and purposes has two presidents.

One is the duly elected chief executive currently residing in the White House.

The other is the previous resident who is actively exerting more influence than any previous president and is doing so on behalf of a power structure beyond accountability to the American people.

This won't end well.

You don’t throw this kind of thing into prison, you execute it if guilty.

No doubt Mr Trump will learn from Congressional Republicans and submit timidly to this other-government.

I’ll put $5 on No He Won’t.

A silencer coup ...

That is HIGH TREASON to attempt to overthrow a lawfully and Constitutionally elected POTUS.

If true, then arrest him, seize his assets, interrogate and charge him.

Gitmo vacation for the Kenyan slamist sodomist. And there’s plenty of room for more of them. And the orange jumpsuit wardrobes will be made in the USA.

As Barnes says, it’s the leaks AND the non-FISA-approved intercepts themselves.

Has Trump even mentioned the illegality of the non-FISA-approved intercepts? If not, what’s going on?

People if you have not caught on we are in some odd territory for us on the right. The reality is we are now a counterculture fighting an establishment

And what really odd is we now have some semi alliances with people on the left.

Wikileaks was a perfect example that was a hero and organization of the left and not us until they outted Hillary and the Dem establishment

So on this Deep State stuff im going to give you another site that is definitely of the left but is out to out the deep state and is calling it out on sabotaging Trump

Alot of his stuff will drive you nuts but it’s worth reading keeping an eye on because he seems know what we are fighting

This is the real news, not frigging Russia made up crap.

Now the GOP needs to get out there right now, and call a press conference like Pelosi did, and make this news.

Perhaps this is what Comey told the Congressional Committees he updated yesterday and is also the reason RAT Congresscritter Adam Shiff left the meeting looking like he had seen a ghost...

As I said on another thread, had ANYTHING been told the Committees yesterday that showed any ties to Trump and Russia it would have been leaked and been front page news on the Compost and NY Slimes.

Trump needs to fire Comey and get his own man in there and investigate and reveal who the leakers are. Then Sessions can PROSECUTE.

We are learning the Left has been in no real hurry to collapse the USA, but, brick by brick, with patience and using our freedom and regulatory law, as in the freedom of info act and filing court suits, to dismantle us.

That would be a desirable outcome here, but might set a bad precedent.

But, I don’t get to decide.
