“There will be no more illegal wiretapping of American citizens.”

In retrospect, when Obama says he wouldn’t or couldn’t do something, he’s just setting you up for when he does. There’s got to be a more technical term for this sort of pre-act counter-suggestion.

Examples:

Keep your doctor.

Never have lobbyists in the administration.

Couldn’t do DACA. He’s President, not a dictator.

No illegal wiretapping.

Etc.

Everyone should contact their rep and senators and ask for an Independent Investigation into the leaks. Here is what I wrote, but please wrote your own:

In lieu of the fact that many in Congress are attempting to stop the new administration by constant leaks of classified material, and the appearance that the information was gathered by the previous adminstration (with wiretaps, etc.) and passed through to media to resist, stop, or deny an effective performance by the new administration, there must be an Independent Investigation appointed, and if wrongdoing is discovered, an Independent Prosecutor must be appointed. This government will not be able to perform its constitutional duties if the leakers are not stopped. Anyone guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors should be prosecuted to the fill extent of the law...

Maybe he meant BY American citizens, which could leave him an “out”...

There is documented proof that Obama ordered the wiretapping of Trump’s electronic gear at Trump Tower. Apparently, he was turned down until he got the approval below.

Thanks to Detective for posting this revealing article:

“4. October: FISA request. The Obama administration submits a new, narrow request to the FISA court, now focused on a computer server in Trump Tower suspected of links to Russian banks. No evidence is found — but the wiretaps continue, ostensibly for national security reasons, Andrew McCarthy at National Review later notes. The Obama administration is now monitoring an opposing presidential campaign using the high-tech surveillance powers of the federal intelligence services.”

Long ago, my dearly departed mother gave me some sage advice when she said: “never say anything you wouldn’t want to share with the entire world”. I always try to abide by that advice.

Key word here is illegal. He got the FISA warrant for a particular reason. Because those ghost judges approved it will hopefully finally shine the light on this garbage as well. There is a paper trail on this and if it has gone missing, every judge on that panel including the FISA authorization needs to be eliminated.

Trump set the hooks and reeled them in and now they are starting to be beached and flopping around looking for water. The fact they trotted out Ben Rhodes is a tantamount admission to the fact they got snookered, Bigly!

The Rosetta Stone for translating Obonics to English has always been to take whatever he says and turn it around 180 degrees Willy Wonka style.

“There will be no more illegal wiretapping of American citizens.”

Except for Donald Trump.

How do we know that Obama was/is lying to Americans?

“4. October: FISA request. The Obama administration submits a new, narrow request to the FISA court, now focused on a computer server in Trump Tower suspected of links to Russian banks. No evidence is found — but the wiretaps continue, ostensibly for national security reasons, Andrew McCarthy at National Review later notes.

Good post.

The question is ...... if Trump wasn’t running for president, would he have been targeted? Clearly, the answer is no. Obama should go directly to jail.

obama used the IRS, FBI, DOJ, and NSA as political operatives. Lock him up.
