Interesting that an article such as this would show up in such a paper.

Going mainstream?

May have been worse? I think it is safe to say that it is worse, 1000 times so.

QUESTION MARK?

If anyone on Earth does NOT understand how serious Susan Rice and Obama's illegal "wiretapping" was, then they have no idea how to think without being told what to think.

It appears the average American sits back and lets others tell them what to think. NO question mark, it is the most serious crime ever in US history to see the light of day.

This is why Democrats do corruption on a grand scale.

It is so blatant and egregious that they tell the LIVs that it is simply “business as usual.”

“QUESTION MARK?”

Yes. The title is not very strong. It should have presumed worse than watergate and not been passive. Oh well. I didn’t write it.

I totally agree with your other comments. And it amazes me how Americans(?) are just sweeping it away.

A thousand times worse. And illegal, and expected to remain safely secret with the election of Hillary.
It would only be legal if in normal spying on another country, the spies “happened” to find an American interacting with the legitimate foreign target.

And THIS is the reason the Russians HAD to be part of the story. Otherwise, Obama’s crimes with Comey, Clapper, and Brennan would be obvious. The intel community went full Stasi this year and have become treason nests.

Interesting the the second article of impeachment against Nixon charged him with using the FBI and intelligence agencies to spy on politicial foes. Yet somehow a phantom crime that Trump did not commit, nor could he since it doesn’t exist, is compared to Watergate.

Ah, I recall a certain ‘co-president’ collecting FBI files, and nobody did a thing about it... It is ‘sweet’ justice to have this wicked witch exposed for being everything and more they accused Richard Nixon of being and doing. I personally do not believe Obama is ‘smart’ enough to run this operation... I do believe he was the perfect tool, with the power of his pen.

Of course it is a thousand times worse. The question is, however, will anything be done about it? More than likely, no. Some people should face criminal charges, but I don't think anyone will.
Some have pigment protection. Others have rat protection.

Look at how Hillary Clinton covered up her being fired from the Watergate Commission for unethical behavior (I’d like more details about this action).

The Clintons’ ties to the Mafia and their millions during the 1995-96 congressional campaigns has been totally covered up except for Byron York’s magnificent article in “The American Spectator”, April 1977 “Let’s Be Friends: A Mob-Controlled Union Delivers the Goods for Bill”.

Look at how the Obama regime covered up Hillary’s sale of her interest in one of America’s top uranium supplier companies/mines to the Russian for millions of dollars. This was an act of “economic treason” yet AG Holder didn’t do a thing except cover it up.

And the Clinton-Lynch secret meeting in her aircraft was never challenged by the Liberals as possibly being not only illegal, an obstruction of justice into the investigation of Hillary’s email scandals, and totally unethical. Lynch never got punished for it by Obama.

Susan Rice’s lies about the Video and Benghazi. Hillary’s role in covering up the disaster in Benghazi and the Video lie.

The secret role that Valerie Jarrett has played in the Obama regime, covered up.

The “back-door” use of Robert Malley by Obama to both Syria and that “the Obama campaign severed its ties with Malley (of the International Crisis Group) after the latter informed the Times of London that he had been in regular contact with Hamas as part of his work for ICG” (www.DiscoverTheNetwork.org, “International Crisis Group.

And the list of Obama regime personnel acts of treason just keeps growing as more and more is known about their ties to overseas terrorist groups and regimes (Cuba, Fatah/Hamas, Iran, Red China, etc).

A Rag tag group of people breaking into a DNC branch office office ONCE....

VS.

Using an ENTIRE ARM of the government or MORE to break into MULTIPLE OFFICES over several YEARS....

Yeah, it is FAR FAR WORSE than WATERGATE!

Nice tagline “....And the rest, as they say, is history)”

I always like to say “HIS story” instead of “history.”

I know why Roberts came out with his decision upholding Obamacare despite the Court simultaneously saying it was unconstitutional . . . .

I think this is an attempt to get ahead of the story with a presentation that left out a lot of data about the Obama Spying Scandal.

Witness the comment: "Will the Justice Department investigate and prosecute former Obama officials? It seems hard to imagine."

The article also take the heat off of Obama and blames the IC community. "It now seems apparent that we overestimated the patriotism and professionalism of the people in these agencies, who allowed them to be politically weaponized by the Obama administration."
