Why Obama Really Spied on Trump. Obama had to spy on Trump to protect himself.

Wow, real interesting, Liz.

Barkie has been laying low. The public is starting to forget about him. The scandals are actually keeping his name out there, and steadily destroying his legacy.

I see a few FReepers dinging Sessions, but all in good time. The steady drip-drip-drip of this scandal will surely come to a head before the mid-terms.

Trump first needs to seal some legislative victories. All in good time the Mau Mau Boobamba will be thoroughly disgraced -- if not incarcerated -- for his many crimes against America.

Meanwhile, I wonder which of Obama acolytes will take the fall for Boobamba. Better yet, Mueller and his buddy Comey will collude to turn state's evidence and go after the Big Game. It's already proven Comey lied. He's vulnerable and he should be protected from the good ol' boy enforcers from Little Rock.

Wonder if Bill and Hill's henchmen also protect Obama. Wonder how many big names in the press have been warned not to stray off the Clinton/Obama/Bush plantation.

[ThunderSleeps]

I believe every word of it. There is nothing, absolutely nothing I would put past the obama crime machine. They have killed people, violated the Constitution willfully and knowingly with the intent of harming the United States. For that matter there is nothing I'd put past Clinton crime Inc. either. They have killed people and knowingly committed treason. They should all - both crime families and their cohorts - be tried, convicted, and stood up against a wall.

PING. A splendidly written and powerful story by Daniel Greenfield.

[poconopundit]

Yeah, and this time, there’s no need for an inside informant who had a vested personal interest in using a journalist to help take down a President.

Woodward has always been the “friend” of Deep Throat... and the Deep State.

[Tammy8]

This is like Watergate on steroids.

[Basket_of_Deplorables]

Calling it "data" does not reveal the true picture. Obama's henchmen gathered thousands of unredacted TRANSCRIPTS of private phone calls of an opposition party's leaders. They widely disseminated these transcripts and likely stored fhem in a searchable database. Thousands of private phone calls, between hundreds of people.

[Lazamataz]

Well, by Hapless Jeff Sessions not pushing forward on any prosecutions, it is now common knowledge that any DEMOCRAT President and their staff can violate absolutely any law with impunity.

Hell, they could round up millions of white males for death camps, and there would be no prosecution.

We have known this for years. I also believe the NSA has every bit of information concerning spying and "wiretapping". The FBI and DOJ are useless and compromised.

Unfortunately, nobody will ever go after the Kenyan Magic Half-Negro. The Nazi Soros and the Iranian Lizard Face Jarret (Obama's brain)knows this. They laugh at us as they destroy the country.

Could Sessions end up in jail

[Mr. Jeeves]

If McMaster is fired, which on purely statistical grounds he probably will be, and a Trump loyalist who wasn’t targeted by the surveillance operation becomes the next National Security Adviser and brings in Trump loyalists, as Flynn tried to do, then it’s over.

It wasn't allowed last time - how could the Deep State be weakened enough to allow another attempt?

Trump's big problem is that he has to bring in true outsiders, who are easy to isolate and marginalize.

[Nothingburger]

I hope you are right, FRiend Maximus.

The Left has blood on its hands, starting with the lives of peace officers assassinated by Leftist-inspired criminals, and extending to the lives of servicemen who died in their foreign adventures.

America will not have peace and prosperity until these communists have atoned for their crimes ... in blood!

[Paladin2]

Sessions needs some help in choosing some assistants to clean house at DOJ and start prosecuting Rat activists (follow the money).

[Grampa Dave]

Cat got your tongue, Bob Woodward?

Woodward and that worthless alcoholic pos partner of his re Watergate seem to be like the calico cats with the spying on Trump by the Deep State Thug, Obama.

All that is left of them is their damn grins.

Ping.

I’m picturing that whoever Mueller indicts, they are going to demand that his conversations (plotting ) with Comey be an issue at trial, to expose the ilegal political motives. And I think Mueller is arrogant enough he doesn’t see this coming.

I agree. The cover up is going to be a lot worse than the petty crime Mueller comes up with and it would be used a defense in court and easily proven.

The other slim possibility that my brain keeps coming back to is that this is all show and Mueller has been turned by Trump and his target is actually foreign help in a campaign which nabs the dems not Trump(the dossier is just one example). He did meet with Trump the night before being named special counselor and I read somewhere that the donations to dems from the lawyers hired are minimal. Would you want to go down in history as the front man of one of the most corrupt conspiracy's in US history to take out a sitting US president or would you want to use this time to distance yourself from you own past involvements with dems, Clinton cover-ups and missions and save your family name?

Mueller knows where Hillary's skeletons are and was supposedly Justice Scalia's good friend. So giving him a chance to turn and get out of the swamp, would have been a smart Trump move. Hiring dem lawyers that care more about the law and their reputations to give this investigation legitimacy, if the target was dems, was smart. Going after republicans with this overtly biased team is nothing but the start of civil war in some shape or form....stupid move if you want your investigation not to look corrupt with this team, then dems are the target.

I know, slim chance but this investigation makes no sense if the real target is the President, unless your goal is civil war.

......the latest CNN spin is that Obama used secret FISA's to spy on Manafort, then discontinued for lack of evidence, then a shiny new FISA appeared. This is a pattern of FISA abuses by Obama Inc. which never allowed minor matters like lack of evidence to dissuade them from new FISA requests. Desperate Obama cronies figured out that they could bypass limitations on conventional investigations of the political opponents they despised by ‘laundering’ them through "national security." So if Obama Inc. found (A) any of Trump’s people talking to ANY non-Americans, (B) they got a FISA to spy on them. The redacted names of innocent Americans got casually unmasked by Obama knee-padders Susan Rice, Samantha Power, and others. Obama had a technically legal Watergate going for himself.....

What? No break-ins? (smirk).

[Liz]

Keep in mind that the Obama syndicate incessantly going to the FISA trough is very interesting. B/c not only is it a no-no to LIE to a FISA court.....it is a felony to WITHHOLD info from the FISA court.

<><>Did Obama/Rice/Power's request for a FISA warrant stipulate that Obama and Susan Rice wire-tapped Trump Tower......while Trump was a candidate?

<><> Did Obama/Rice/Power's request for a FISA warrant stipulate that Obama's CIA director Brennan used phony foreign intel as a pretext for a multi-agency investigation into candidate Trump?

<><> Did the request for a FISA warrant stipulate that phony foreign intel led the FBI to probe a computer server connected to candidate Trump residing and conducting business in Trump Tower?

<><> Did the request for a FISA warrant stipulate that foreign intel gave cover to Susan Rice's sifting/unmasking operations?

I didn't think so.

==============================================================================

The heinous "legacy" of the Obama presidency is writ large.....so much damage inflicted in the little time the citizenry allotted him.

Obama and his Democrat fellators, ValJar, Susan Rice, Samantha Power, and the rest of the knee-padders, turned every federal agency into a political weapon: the FBI, the IRS, NSA, CIA, the UN, even the FISA court.

Obama and his factotums weaponized and corrupted everything for their insatiable thirst for power, for their despicable "progressive" ideology, their obsession w/ a permanent Democrat majority, and for their twisted political ambitions.

Not to start baseless rumors but personally I thought Sessions looked at Rosenstein with adoring eyes, an image I’ll need bleach bit to erase from my brain.

However, probably just my overactive imagination.
