Obama’s CIA Asked Foreign Intel Agencies To Spy on Trump Campaign
Real Clear Politics ^ | February 28, 2024 | Robert Chernin

The revelation that the U.S. intelligence community, under the Obama administration, sought the assistance of the “Five Eyes” intelligence alliance to surveil Donald Trump’s associates before the 2016 election is a chilling reminder of the lengths to which the Deep State will go to protect its interests and challenge its adversaries. (The Five Eyes countries are the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.) This bombshell, reported by a team of independent journalists, exposes a dark chapter in American political history, where foreign intelligence services were reportedly mobilized against a presidential candidate.

The alleged operation against Trump and his associates, which predates the official start of the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation, is a stark example of political weaponization of intelligence. The involvement of foreign allies in surveilling American citizens under the pretext of national security raises serious questions about the integrity of our democratic processes and the autonomy of our nation’s intelligence operations.

The narrative that has been pushed for years, that the investigation into Trump’s campaign began with an Australian tip about a boastful Trump aide, now appears to be a cover for a more extensive and coordinated effort to undermine Trump. If reports are accurate, British intelligence began targeting Trump on behalf of American intelligence agencies as early as 2015, long before the official narrative claims.

The implications of this are profound. It suggests an unprecedented level of collusion between U.S. intelligence agencies and their foreign counterparts to influence the outcome of an American presidential election. The use of foreign intelligence to circumvent American laws and surveillance limitations represents a grave threat to our nation’s sovereignty and the principles of democracy.

The fact that this operation was reportedly initiated at the behest of high-ranking officials within the Obama administration, including CIA Director John Brennan...

The IC and DOJ need neutered regards certain powers and capabilities they have.
They need outside oversight that is publicly disclosed.

The use of the classification system to HIDE illegal or dubious behavior from public and political scrutiny, to avoid culpability needs to stop.

“Secrets” are not there to protect decision makers from getting fired when they break the law or do things which would outrage the public.

Assuming Trump returns to the White House, he should use his office/power to ensure that Brennan and EVERYONE that had anything to do with this are charged, prosecuted, convicted and imprisoned.

If he doesn’t, then future Intelligence folks will remember that Brennan et al “got away with it why can’t we”.

Obama was an angel of death. He caused chaos and death in everything he touched - Egypt, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Ukraine, Ferguson, Oakland, Minneapolis, from foreign wars, to health care, to BLM

The man came straight from Satan.

isn’t real clear politics left of center? If so this seems like a big step toward public understanding.

“Assuming Trump returns to the White House, he should use his office/power to ensure that Brennan and EVERYONE that had anything to do with this are charged, prosecuted, convicted and imprisoned.”

With a military tribunal assembled to hear articles of treason.

The penalty for treason is NOT imprisonment. Remember, they keep telling us that no one is above the law.

I concur.

If I remember correctly, FOX news actually fired Judge Napalitano for reporting this way back when it first happened. He ought to sue the **** out of them or at least get a settlement of some sort. I’d prefer the lawsuit, lots of dirty laundry over this.

This is not news to those who have been following the abuses of the Obama Administration that Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton were part of.

All of the alphabet agencies, should get a thorough ethics cleaning and purge all Democratic Party hacks and appointees.

It must be intoxicating being a Democrat. They can get away with anything. The Republicans and the judiciary will do nothing.

I’m pretty sure it’s legal.

And that’s the problem.

This is straight up treason and another thing Obongo will not be held accountable for.
