He spied on the Senate Intelligence Committee, the NYTimes, the Associated Press, Fox News, CBS News, Sharyl Attkisson, James Risen, Carter Page, George Papadopoulos, President Trump, Angela Merkle, on and on.
"In 2010, the Obama administration renewed the bogus Bush-era subpoena against the New York Times' James Risen in a prolonged attempt to determine whether the reporter was the recipient of leaked CIA information. In February 2011, federal investigators were revealed to have spied on Risen. Federal investigators pored over Risen's credit reports and his personal bank records. The feds even tracked his phone logs and movements. "
And the facts are that the attempt to unseat a duly elected President began in the viper's nest of Obama's Oval Office.
1. "Obamagate Is Not A Conspiracy Theory
...no reason to ignore the mounting evidence that suggests the Obama administration engaged in serious corruption.
Democrats and their allies, who like to pretend that President Obamaās only scandalous act was wearing a tan suit, are going spend the next few months gaslighting the public by focusing on the most feverish accusations against Obama. But the fact is that we already have more compelling evidence that the Obama administration engaged in misconduct than we ever did for opening the Russian-collusion investigation.
2. ...note that the investigation into Trump was predicated on an opposition-research document filled with fabulism and, most likely, Russian disinformation. We know the DOJ withheld contradictory evidence when it began spying on those in Trumpās orbit. We have proof that many of the relevant FISA-warrant applications ā almost every one of them, actually ā were based on āfabricatedā evidence or riddled with errors.
3. ...members of the Obama administration, who had no genuine role in counterintelligence operations, repeatedly unmasked Trumpās allies. And we now know that, despite a dearth of evidence, the FBI railroaded Michael Flynn into a guilty plea so it could keep the investigation going.
4. ...the larger context only makes all of these facts more damning. By 2016, the Obama administrationās intelligence community had normalized domestic spying. Obamaās director of national intelligence, James Clapper, famously lied about snooping on American citizens to Congress. His CIA director, John Brennan, oversaw an agency that felt comfortable spying on the Senate, with at least five of his underlings breaking into congressional computer files.
5. [Obama's] attorney general, Eric Holder, invoked the Espionage Act to spy on a Fox News journalist, shopping his case to three judges until he found one who let him name the reporter as a co-conspirator. The Obama administration also spied on Associated Press reporters, which the news organization called a āmassive and unprecedented intrusion.ā And though itās been long forgotten, Obama officials were caught monitoring the conversations of members of Congress who opposed the Iran nuclear deal."
That statement shows how utterly naive you are. (To be fair, there are a lot of people like you on this site, and not just on the Dem side.) No one is getting handcuffed, but that doesn't mean they are not guilty or corrupt. Do you also think Al Capone was an innocent, virtuous man, because the only thing he was convicted of was tax evasion?
a. A poster on your side, meaning ignorant, denied that Obama spied on everyone including the NYTimes.
I proved that I am never wrong.
b. The newly declassified documents prove that he continued spying, on the incoming President and political rival, a turn of events far worse than Watergate.
Which leads me to ask....'What is wrong with YOU?'
BTW.....you do know that J. Edgar Comey took orders from Obama and appraised Trump of the dossier, so that it became newsworthy, and could be proffered by the DNC apparatchiks with press passes.
Shortly after his dismissal as head of the FBI, James Comey authorized āa close friendā to leak the contents of his memos to the press in order to prompt a special counsel investigationā¦
awwwww..... looks like donny's #1 flying monkey, bill barr - won't be going after obama.... looks like he figured out that precedence is a dangerous one & could put the dotard in the next prez's cross hairs.
6. āā¦on top of everything else, we know that Barack Obama was keenly interested in the Russian-collusion investigationās progress.
In her very last hour in office, national-security adviser Susan Rice wrote a self-preserving email to herself, noting that sheād attended a meeting with the president, Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, FBI director James Comey, and Vice President Joe Biden in which Obama stressed that everything in the investigation should proceed āby the book.ā
Did high-ranking Obama-administration officials not always conduct such investigations āby the bookā? It is curious that they would need to be specifically instructed to do so. It is also curious that the outgoing national-security adviser, 15 minutes after Trump had been sworn in as president, would need to mention this meeting.
In a healthy media environment, though, the mounting evidence of wrongdoing would spark an outpouring of journalistic curiosity.ā
