Time to Investigate Obama, not Just Trump
PJ Media ^ | 22 Mar, 2017 | ROGER L SIMON

Posted on 03/23/2017 11:32:20 AM PDT by MtnClimber

House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Adam Schiff is in high dudgeon over the bad form of House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes in reporting his bombshell -- that the chairman had been shown actual surveillance (not involving Russia) of the Trump transition team and possibly of the then president-elect himself -- to President Trump before he presented the evidence to the committee.

Bad form, quite possibly. But so what?

The facts are what they are.

What appears at this writing is that Trump transition team members and possibly Trump himself had their identities revealed, were "unmasked" in the parlance, while foreign diplomats were being surveilled. The identities of American citizens were not sufficiently "minimized," as they are required to be by law. This is a crime one would assume would put the perpetrators in prison. So far it hasn't. More than that, such behavior is a grave threat to a free society, to all of us.

Why would you want to investigate Trump? What has he done except what we voted into office to do?

Seems to me this writer has a lot to explain on his own...

There is no reason to investigate Trump.

The man is obviously honest, and obviously not corrupt.

The rest of our government is obviously not honest, and obviously corrupt.

If Schiff is in high dudgeon, it means things are going well.

This was a direct and indisputable criminal act to have these transcripts in the white house!! I do not accept that these were FISA related. What are the chances that a transition team member was fiddling on the phone with a foreigner? There was no call to foreigners relevant to what they were doing!! This is just raw warrantless wiretaps going directly to obama!! Yes lets investigate THAT in congress!!and at the Grqand Jury!! Where is Jeff Sessions???

“You’ve got this really serious problem potentially of people in the Obama administration passing around highly classified gossip,” Wash/Po's Bob Woodward said. “The idea that there was intelligence value was really thin,” Woodward added."They knew this information was floating around the intelligence agencies."Woodward called the leaking of names “inappropriate” and possibly illegal. "If Nunes’ statements are true, it would be a “gross violation.”

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

Adds up to major problems for Obama and his minions.

<><> clearly, the intent was to abuse Obama's executive power.

<><> the Obama minions got FISA court to approve a warrant submitted without Trump’s name but “which Obama then misused to spy on Trump and many connected to Trump.”

<><> that might mean perjury for lying to the FISA court,.

<><> Most serious is the dissemination of collected intelligence, including names of Americans, that should have been kept tightly classified.

(REAGANGENERATION2 HAT TIP)

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

It is also entirely possible that Obama and his legal team may have perjured themselves before the FISA court by willfully withholding material information in order to manipulate the FISA court’s willingness to permit the government surveillance. And falsified official govt documents in the process.

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

With all the information coming out this week it looks like the term Obamagate will be coming to the forefront.

That was done on January 12, 2017, just three scant days before Trump's inauguration. Why did the then president finally decide to make that particular change at that extremely late date, rather than on one of the previous seven years and three hundred fifty-three days of his presidency?

Obama needs to grilled about that with his skinny butt parked in a chair and under oath.

Time for Trump to Investigate Obama! not Just Trump

Potus Trump can have Admiral Rodgers or Jeff Sessions to ask the new Brit GCHQ director, Jeremy Fleming, to monitor Obama, Jarrett, Comedy, Clapper, Brennan, Pelosi and Schumer using the Muscular Program that was used to monitor Trump, Flynn, other Trump people and us!

POTUS is the ultimate consumer of the end product of any intel process. So, he can start monitoring the above without any FISA actions/warrants like Obama did with him in 2016/17!

Then, just for kicks: Have the new Brit GCHQ director, Jeremy Fleming, surveil/monitor the CEO's of Faux/WSJ, ABCNNBCBS, Ny/La Slimes, Compost, and any other so called news mag in America/the world to see who is paying them for their anti America propaganda posing as news!

Add Hillary and the entire DNC to the List besides Obama.

If the death of the young DNC deep data employee is every properly investigated, it leads either to the DNC or to an Obama directed federal agency.

It is time to lock them up and drain the swamp.

They should REALLY investigate whether Obama used all the resources of government against his political enemies like the SS and Gestapo of the Nazi era were used for the same reasons--in effect, used like a quasi-version of a secret police force.

Really no different than SS, Gestapo, Stasi and the KGB. This has to Stop. It's probably still going on through Jarrett then to Obama.

Obama’s a filthy pig who has broken so many laws it’s hard to count them all. He will never face any justice and only because of the color of his skin.

Nice going liberals, way to destroy law and order.
