FBI official William Barnett was assigned to lead the bureau's original investigation into Michael Flynn An FBI official who served on Robert Mueller’s team said he believed the special counsel’s prosecution of former White House national security adviser Michael Flynn was part of an attitude to “get Trump,” and that he did not wish to pursue a Trump-Russia collusion investigation as it was “not there" and considered it to be a "dead end."

EXCLUSIVE: Obama's Treasury Department Spied on Gen Flynn, and the Trump Family,
beginning in December 2015 and well into 2017, Says Whistleblower
The Ohio Star | 18 May 2020 | Neil W. McCabe / FR Posted by Erik Latranyi

Obama’s Treasury Department regularly surveilled retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn’s financial records and transactions beginning in December 2015 and well into 2017, before, during and after when he served at the White House as President Donald Trump’s National Security Director, a former senior Treasury Department official, and veteran of the intelligence community, told the Star Newspapers. “I started seeing things that were not correct, so I did my own little investigation, because I wanted to make sure what I was seeing was correct” she said. “You never want to draw attention to something if there is not anything there.” The whistleblower said she only saw metadata, that is names and dates when the general’s financial records were accessed. “I never saw what they saw.”

By March 2016, the whistleblower said she and a colleague, who was detailed to Treasury from the intelligence community, became convinced that the surveillance of Flynn was not tied to legitimate criminal or national security concerns, but was straight-up political surveillance among other illegal activity occurring at Treasury. “When I showed it to her, what she said, ‘Oh, sh%t!’ and I knew right then and there that I was right – this was some shady stuff,” the whistleblower said. “It wasn’t just him,” the whistleblower said. “They were targeting other U.S. citizens, as well.”

Only two names are listed in the whistleblower’s official paperwork, so the others must remain sealed, she said. The second name is Paul J. Manafort Jr., the one-time chairman of Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

The other names Obama spied in include: Members of Congress, the most senior staffers on the 2016 Trump campaign and members of Trump’s family, she said. (Excerpt) Read more at theohiostar.com ...

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

The “Members of Congress” being spied upon by Obama could be a goldmine of info. Betcha good money, Obama was spying on DEMOCRATS. Was Obama checking to see if Democrats were holding out on his share of the graft?

When Trump wins, I hope all hell breaks loose on these bastards. He won’t have anything to lose, but those on the other side may want to book flights to another country.

“First we fk Flynn, then we fk Trump!”

I think Durham and Barr are under orders from the President to stand down until he is safely re-elected.

The Trump campaign’s internal polling probably shows that most Americans, since Watergate, are completely brainwashed. President Trump also knows things we don’t know about the vast power of the deep state - things that give him pause.

Sadly, the fake news and deep state can (and will) EASILY sell the false narrative that by indicting (attacking) his political enemies, President Trump is simply proving he is another Richard Nixon - a Ruthless Tyrant.

If he had gone that route in his first term, he would surely have been removed from office - or if not - would have had no chance at all of being re-elected.

Hopefully, after he is re-elected, he will go ahead with indictments and let the chips fall where they may.

Major cracks forming, 0bama and the Clinton’s should be very worried.

The COUP that FAILED! There was a play by the previous Admin (O’Biden) to take down Trump—they didn’t care whose lives they destroyed in the process. This wasn’t ever supposed to be revealed, he wasn’t supposed to win, but he did. KEEP UP THE FIGHT 45, game on, let’s DO IT AGAIN! https://t.co/6clrBH478x pic.twitter.com/Mw7rWLn6zh— Dan Scavino🇺🇸🦅 (@DanScavino) September 25, 2020

On Jan. 3, 2017, Trump tweeted the FBI was delaying its briefings for him to buy time to cook up evidence against him.

Two days later, as Obama and Comey met in the WH to go over their plans to to take out Flynn, one FBI agent texted: "Trump was right." https://t.co/RXjFKGNjBS— Sean Davis (@seanmdav) September 24, 2020

All this craziness is due to their crimes and the need to cover it up - they knew, given enough time, he’d uncover it all. This isn’t just politics, they’re fighting for their survival. First step was to just bog everything down in investigations, with the hope that they could come up with a good excuse for impeachment - all to distract from their crimes. When that failed they were confronted with an emboldened PDJT that would have nothing to lose when reelected.

I’ve never seen panic like this. It has made them demonic. It’s beyond politics - this is practically biblical. They’re willing to see people many die, for lives to be financially ruined - all to save themselves. The timing of COVID is too coincidental, right after failed impeachment, along with the requirement to demand the wearing of masks while encouraging rioting - TOO CONVENIENT. The destruction, the murders, etc. - I expect the next 6 months to be absolute chaos.

...hard to argue with.

Bring Flynn back in and put Wray on his Way out (to jail).

If you know Yiddish, you’ll understand what I mean when I say FBI Director Wray is more like “Fay Ray” than J.E. Hoover.

[volunbeer]

I truly believe second term Trump is going to be a real honey badger.

Just saying.

He has a very good grasp of what happened and what he is dealing with and he simply will not care because he will not be as constrained politically.

First terms are always focused on the pending race for a second term. It will be epic.
