During the heat of the 2016 presidential elections, officials within the Obama administration, including cabinet-level officials who answered to Obama directly, extensively spied on the campaign of then-candidate Donald Trump.
Both the Department of Justice inspector general and the House intelligence committee are currently probing the actions of the Obama officials and their motivations.
So far, at least five different ways that the officials spied on the Trump campaign have been uncovered.

AFTER HILLARY LOST Obama remembered He Had Made
A Deal With Hillary Allowing Removal Of State Dept Records.
By RYAN SAAVEDRA, daiywire.com, December 15, 2017
Newly-revealed documents obtained by conservative watchdog Judicial Watch reveal that the Obama State Department allowed Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her top aide Huma Abedin to remove sensitive documents that were not to be made public records (including official Muslim Engagement Documents).
Judicial Watch received the records on Thursday in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request that sought all DS-1904 forms completed by or on behalf of Former Secretary Hillary Clinton, Former Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills, Former Deputy Chief of Staff Huma Abedin, and Former Deputy Chief of Staff Jacob Sullivan.
Clinton and Abedin were permitted to remove both electronic and physical records, claiming they were personal materials and unclassified, non-record materials, including files of Clintons calls and schedules, which were not to be made public.
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton noted the gravity of the latest revelations, stating they showed further corruption in the Obama administration and with Clinton.
We already know the Obama State Department let Hillary Clinton steal and then delete her government emails, which included classified information, Fitton said in a statement. But these new records show that was only part of the scandal. These new documents show the Obama State Department had a deal with Hillary Clinton to hide her calls logs and schedules, which would be contrary to FOIA and other laws.
"The most significant of these are her personal correspondence and gift binders, which could reflect Clinton Foundation and Clinton Global Initiative ties.

The following is Hillary’s list and is totally unverifiable. Evidence of Obama’s criminality would never see the light of day.
THE LIST Electronic records Hillary Clinton was allowed to remove:

Non-record copy of a log of calls made since 2004.
Official and personal copy of the Secretarys call grid which is a running list of calls she wants to make.

16 boxes of personal schedules from 1993-2008 (prior to her becoming Secretary of State).
29 boxes of miscellaneous public schedules ranging from her time as FLOTUS all the way up to her appointment at the State Department.
1 box of personal reimbursable receipts.
1 box of personal photos.
1 box personal schedule.
Personal correspondence.

Personal Event Planner (2001 thru 2011)
The originals of some Clinton documents were retained, such as the call logs and schedules, Judicial Watch reports.
For other records, including material that predates Clintons tenure, there is no indication that a copy was made.
I just love how they say POTENTIALLY ILLEGAL.
Seems a little paranoid for people who was convinced Hillary could not lose...
Count the number of manholes in front of the dwelling....
The Kalorama place either has a boat load of crap flowing downhill or it has a mega-wiring system for the spygate....Just a guess, mind you.
The original plan was to gather dirt on Trump to destroy him after he lost the election. He colluded with Russians don’t cha know.
They assumed that a Crooked Hillary Administration would protect Obama and his government goons from prosecution.
They cannot protect Hussein Obama forever. The best these communists can hope for is a Trump pardon.
Obamas CYA maneuver of January 3, 2017-the signing of NSA Data-Sharing Order Section 2.3 by AG Lynch is the coupe detat to blow out The Deep State. Obamas after-the-fact ex/order contains some unusual language particularly the convoluted language WRT The Strategic Delay of Section 2.3 of Obamas Executive Order 12333:
NOTE WELL: Prior to the formal signing of Section 2.3, greater latitude ALREADY existed within the White House in regards to collection of information especially in relation to the Trump Campaign. However, once signed, Section 2.3 granted broad latitude to inter-agency sharing of information.
But by the time Obamas new executive order was signed on January 3, 2017, all that information was already in the possession of Obama White House.
Thus, Susan Rices January 20, 2017 email to herself takes on an even greater significance b/c no one was ever supposed to know about the REAL meaning of Obamas retroactive CYA.....until Rice stupidly laid it all out in an official email.
CYA memos are rarely a good idea. Most often, they reveal things the author never intendedala Susan Rices now-infamous email to herself.

WHY SUSAN RICE WROTE AN EMAIL TO HERSELF........the extraordinary email Obamas National Security Advisor Susan Rice wrote to herself at 12:15 on January 20, 2017........within minutes of President Trumps inauguration must have been her last act, more or less, before she vacated the White House. So obviously the email was important to her. But why would it be important to send an email to herself (the only person copied was one of her aides)?
If you read the email, along with Senator Grassleys letter to Rice, it is obvious that it is a CYA memo. But the question is, whose A is being Cd?
Most attention, so far, has focused on the first two paragraphs of the email, which describe a meeting that occurred around two weeks earlier. The participants included
<><>Barack Obama,
<><>Joe Biden,
<><>James Comey,
<><> Sally Yateswho turns up like a bad penny whenever skulduggery is afoot
<><>and Rice:
Rice made sure to underscore that Obama began the conversation by stressing his continued commitment to ensuring that every aspect of this issue is handled by the Intelligence and law enforcement communities by the book. Rice writes Obama stressed that he is not asking about, initiating or instructing anything from a law enforcement perspective. He reiterated that our law enforcement team needs to proceed as it normally would by the book.
This is pure boilerplate.
It represents, obviously, the company line. But Rice did not write her email to cover Barack Obamas rear end. If she or anyone else had wanted to document the claim that Obama said to proceed by the book, the appropriate course would have been an official memo that copied others who were present and would have gone into the file. (My guess is that such a memo was written, but we havent seen it.)
The important part of the email is not the paragraph that purports to exonerate Obama, but the paragraphs that follow: From a national security perspective, however, President Obama said he wants to be sure that, as we engage with the incoming team, we are mindful to ascertain if there is any reason that we cannot share information fully as it relates to Russia.
The next paragraph of the email remains classified and has been redacted. The email concludes: The President asked Comey to inform him if anything changes in the next few weeks that should affect how we share classified information with the incoming team. Comey said he would.
CONCLUSION Why did Susan Rice send herself an email purporting to document this part of the meeting? Because she was Cing her own A. Rice was nervous about the fact that, at the presidents direction, she had failed to share information fully as it relates to Russia with President Trumps incoming national security team.
Her actions violated longstanding American tradition. Outgoing administrations have always cooperated in the transition to a new administration, whether of the same or the opposing party, especially on matters relating to national security.
Susan Rice is far from the brightest bulb on the tree, but she was well aware that by concealing facts ostensibly relating to national security from her counterpart in the new administrationGeneral Michael Flynnshe was, at a minimum, violating longstanding civic norms.
If she actually lied to Flynn, she could have been accused of much worse. So Rice wanted to be able to retrieve her email, if she found herself in a sticky situation, and tell the world that she hid relevant facts about Russia from the new administration on Barack Obamas orders.
What were the secrets that Obama wanted to keep from the new administration? We can easily surmise that the fact that the Steele memo was paid for by the Democratic Party; that the FBI had to some degree collaborated with Steele; that the Clinton campaign had fed some of the fake news in the dossier to Steele; and that Comeys FBI had used Steeles fabrications as the basis for FISA warrants to spy on the Trump campaign were among the facts that Obama and his minions didnt want Michael Flynn and Donald Trump to know. Susan Rice, we can infer, was told to keep these secrets, and if anyone ever asked why she had failed to disclose them to Michael Flynn and others on Trumps team, or even lied to those people, she would have the defense that President Obama ordered her to do it.
There may be more to it than this. The redacted paragraph likely contains more information about what it was that Rice wasnt supposed to tell the Trump team. One of these days, we will learn what was blacked out.
The fact that Michael Flynn was Susan Rices counterpart in the incoming administration may also be significant. We know that the FBI agents who interviewed General Flynneven Peter Strzok!reported that they didnt think he had lied about anything. And yet, Obamas DOJ and Bob Muellers investigationbasically a continuation of Obamas corrupt Department of Justice under another, less accountable namepersecuted Flynn to the point where he finally pled guilty to a single count of lying to the FBI in order, as he says, to end the madness and the financial drain.
Why were the Democrats so determined to discredit General Flynn? Perhaps because they wanted to pre-empt any outrage that may otherwise have followed on revelations that the Obama administrations National Security Advisor hid important facts from her successor during the transition, and may have lied to him about those facts, in violation of all American tradition.
This was the Obama intelligence community’s M.O. for eight years, aided and abetted by the tech industry—the spying on Trump is just the tip of the iceberg.
From the article:
So far, at least five different ways that the officials spied on the Trump campaign have been uncovered.
These include the use of national security letters, a FISA warrant, an undercover informant, the unmasking of identities in intelligence reports, and spying conducted by foreign intelligence agencies.
Obama really is a disgusting, creepy voyeur.
I bet he got off on listening to secret tapes of Trump. Its how he pleasured himself
Where the heck is the IG report
It was an all out STASI attack. Banana republic crap.
And just one editorial comment. You really expect me to give up my AR-15 when the government and intelligence agencies start running wild like this? Think again sport.
And still the LEFT lost.
#6. Honey Trap. Papadopoulos targeted by Halper’s “assistant” Azra Turk, and the “female Russian national” who worked with Mifsud.
This will not be swept under the rug. Donald Trump will see to that.
