NSA Documents Prove Government Spying on Trump and Trump Tower for Years

Jim Hoft Mar 19th, 2017 10:55 pm

Infowars has obtained credible NSA documents that prove businessman Donald Trump and Trump Tower were under surveillance for years.

In early March President Trump accused Barack Obama of wiretapping his phones during the sacred election process.

The name of the game is to find evidence indicating that surveillance began prior to the DNC emails being leaked. (And hence the beginning of the false 'Russia hacked the election' narrative.)

Once a firm timeline is established, then **any** surveillance, incidental or not, would be proven to be political in nature. In fact, the deeper the DOJ can drill back, the worse it gets for the prior administration.

I think that's the key. if it can be proven that the spying began before the Russian narrative took off then the only reason left to spy on Donald Trump and his associates is political. It's becoming more and more obvious that the Russian story was cooked up to both cripple the administration and to provide cover for the obama admin if the surveillance was ever exposed. But suspecting that, even knowing it, and being able to prove it are two different things.

Time will tell. I think the President still has a few hole cards he hasn't turned up yet. Looking back at the 'wiretap' tweet and all that has transpired since makes me suspect that DJT just might be a very, very good at this 'game'.

"Looking back at the 'wiretap' tweet and all that has transpired since makes me suspect that DJT just might be a very, very good at this 'game'."

Like any good suspense story, the reveal isn't made until the end of the tale. Then, once it's disclosed, the entire timeline of events begins to make perfect sense.

I wouldn't put it past Trump to already have some basic notes in place in order to write his auto-biography (and support future biographers - LS?). The gist of it will begin:

"I realized political (as well as business and personal) spying was pervasive in spite of a wide array of laws enacted to prevent violations of the 4th amendment. I had discovered the extent of these gross civil liberties violations while I was contemplating a run in 2012. However, I resolved then to both utilize and defeat these weaponized policy tools during the 2016 presidential campaign."

The rest, as they say, is history. If we look at these events in the context that everything was known by Trump beforehand, then it all begins to make sense. That is, both Trump's entire campaign strategy of going directly to the people, and the resulting reaction from the status quo once he won and was officially inaugurated.

The alternative, leftist version of events is to believe he was some clueless rube that just happened to stumble into the race. He was then pleased with the way he could attract attention which satisfied his juvenile narcissistic personality. But, faced with the challenges of actually running an effective administration, he resorts to tweets and other impulsive reactions when he doesn't get his way.

Which one makes more sense? Are tweets like his "being wiretapped" mere late night impulses of a spoiled man-child, or purposeful markers laying doing critical way-points as the reveal is slowly, but inevitably made?

Not to mention that being a high-end hotelier his whole life, he’s had customers and nations tapping each other like crazy people at every opportunity. Surveillance is something he’s had to deal with since his 20s.

This is very insightful, esp about the 2012 run
