Ignoring the Samantha Power bombshell
American Thinker ^ | June 6, 2018 | Jay Latimer

Posted on 06/06/2018 11:20:18 AM PDT by detective

One of the challenges of Spygate is that it's such a sprawling, complicated tale, filled with competing narratives and motives open to interpretation. We understand that this is a serious situation – possibly the biggest scandal in U.S. history. But how can one get the message across to the average American without his eyes glazing over?

To cut through the complexity, it helps to focus on specific actions by individuals that we all can agree are suspect. This brings us to Samantha Power.

Of all the political stories from 2017, surely the most curious is this: why is everyone ignoring the bombshell revelations from Samantha Power?

Power was caught using her security clearance as a U.N. ambassador to review private conversations by U.S. citizens. According to official records, she requested the unmasking of these private citizens over 260 times in 2016 (this was an election year). She was brought before the House Intelligence Committee to explain her actions.

Her defense? It wasn't me. Someone else in the Obama White House did this, using her security clearance.

Because to report them on ABCNNBCBS would be career (and physical) suicide..............

I agree that the whole thing is convoluted. I’ve tried to explain it to my non-political wife and she gets lost and concludes, “It’s too crazy. You’re wrong. No one would do that stuff. And if they did that stuff, they’d be caught. And so far these people haven’t been caught. So they didn’t do that stuff. This is a waste of time.”

I think the Samantha Power angle is smart. Find one person. They did a bad, even outrageous thing. Show the people. Show that “something was definitely going on”. That opens the door to everything else.

But without the door being opened, most Americans have been well-trained to just dismiss all the “crazy talk”.

Whats the difference? No one else has been charged with any crime since trump has been in office. No one is being investigated but Republicans. Dems are free to steal, lie, spy, etc... They even write books and make admissions of guilt. What is done to them. Nothing. Wait! There are 1.3 Trillion Sealed indictments. The OIG Report will be out in a few years and say a few people are “not nice”. Nothing is going to happen. Hill & Bill, Obamas and all their minions are laughing their way to the banks. The punishment is “death by old age”.

Power said," It wasn't me. Someone in the Obama White House " used her security clearance.

(SNORT) Power was caught using her ambassador security clearance to review private conversations by US citizens.
Official records showed she requested unmasking private citizens over 260 times in 2016 (an election year).

Another example of the Third World mentality permeating the Obama admin.
Like small-minded tinpot dictators using the power of govt against people getting in their way.

Watergate was a "complicated tale" too. The 6:30 news programs were more than willing to spend 3/4 or more of their air time explaining it, with easy-to-understand charts and diagrams to help.

They also devoted the lion's share of their programming to the story for about two years; in that time, you could have taught the American public quantum mechanics if they'd been willing to listen.

In the end, it all got distilled to one, single question: "What did the President know, and when did he know it?"

And, as I'm sure many of you remember, that question was asked by a Republican senator named Howard Baker.

All the signals are that Obama/HilLIARy/Kerry/Powers/Soroz/and company
were running a police state

the fact that nothing is said or done about it....
(and all the media feeds is is the Mueller crap about DJT)...

means...
that the police state (deep state Swamp Alligators) are still running the show in WashDC

The confusion stems from our not having the facts. The cover-up is still in full swing. We don't even know when Spygate began.

why are the conservative news outlets not clamoring for answers?

We are! But it hasn't pried loose the documents and facts.

The GOP-e needs to get on board with explaining to the American Voters.
It will implicate McCain, Flake, Linda and probably Mittens but this is how you drain the swamp.

On the RAT side, Shumer, Pelosi, Reid, Clinton are clearly involved.

IMO, neither the GOP-e, the Rats, the GOP nor the media want to help the citizenry understand the forces aligned against President Trump because NONE OF THEM WANT HIM AS POTUS!!

I dunno, according to Rasmussen, the majority now believes there was illegal activity employed by people in government against Trump. It’s not that hard to communicate, I think Trump himself does it best: “Obama spied on my campaign!”

None of this spygate stuff is going anywhere. Ever..

Neither is any investigation into: Hillary, Mueller, Obama, Rice, Jarrett, or any of the other left creeps and criminals.

Never.

If science were to successfully breed the offspring of Linda McCartney and Delores Laughlin-Taylor, then the offspring fell out of the ugly tree, hitting every branch along the way, you’d get Samantha Power...
