DeepStateGate: Trump Ends the Wiretapping Innuendo Game by Dealing Himself In
BREITBART.COM ^ | 05 MARCH 2017 | JOHN HAYWARD

Posted on 03/05/2017 6:27:39 PM PST by Extremely Extreme Extremist

The White House statement on “DeepStateGate” — President Donald Trump’s allegations that former President Barack Obama ordered surveillance on him during his 2016 presidential campaign — has the feel of cards and chips thumping down on the table:

JOHN HAYWARD: the FISA court may have approved a warrant submitted without Trump’s name but “which Obama then misused to spy on Trump and many connected to Trump.” .....the most serious legal jeopardy that might be faced would be (a) perjury for lying to the FISA court, and, (b) the dissemination of collected intelligence that should have been kept tightly classified.

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

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.

FALSIFYING GOVT DOCUMENTS would fall under the Crimes Act of 1958. Moreover, falsifying official documents is the criminal MO to hide larger crimes.

A person falsifying documents can be held criminally liable if they are deliberately acting with the intention of deceiving or defrauding another party.

Falsifying documents is a very serious offense and is generally classified as a felony. This means that a person charged with falsifying documents may be subject to the following legal penalties:
◾Having to pay a monetary fine
◾Incarceration in a prison facility

Depending on the gravity of the offense, as well as individual state laws, falsifying documents can result in a prison sentence of 5-10 years.

Also, if official government documents or govt authorities were involved, the legal penalties may be more severe. Legal penalties may increase with repeat offenses.

Many different types of acts can be considered as falsifying a document, including:
◾Altering or misrepresenting fact-based information
◾Stating false information when requested to provide truthful statements
◾Forging a signature
◾Using official letterheads without authorization
◾Knowingly using or distributing a fake document

The penalty for falsifying government documents is outlined in the Crimes Act of 1958.

Interesting article. Excellent comments here. “Team Obama is not going to win a credibility shootout with Team Trump.”

True. President Trump called Obama a “sick guy” and that will be a permanent label for Obama. Why would President Trump say that? Because Obama and his media have revealed their criminal activity. “A FISA court had granted a FISA court warrant in October to monitor activities in Trump tower.” Obama is busted.

At first, I was a bit angry, thinking Trump is letting this scum slip away. I was wrong, he was playing the game, but only if they played by the rules. They didn’t.

Trump was willing to let bygones be, but they weren’t. They wanted to play games on and ongoing and continuous basis.

Game on! Trump loves games.

Now, instead of making off with their peace and ill-gotten prosperity, their hubris made them poke the bear with a red hot spear.

Trump is a bear you’d best not poke.

Amazingly, the same media that just went through 48 hours of convulsions over a bogus “perjury” charge against Attorney General Jeff Sessions is happy to cite an actual, admitted perjurer, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, as an unimpeachable source on the exact issue he lied about to Congress. They also expect the American people to trust former Obama adviser Ben Rhodes, who openly bragged of his ability to mislead credulous reporters and construct phony narratives to sell the Iran nuclear deal.

Yes, love DeepStateGate. Each one of us needs to use this term so it enters the public’s collective mind.

The John Hayward article is splendid political analysis and journalism at its finest.

Ping!

Whatever President Trump’s intentions were in using Twitter to touch off this firestorm, one of the immediate effects has been letting the gas out of all those speculative Trump stories. The Democratic media is now furiously working to prove all of its own previous coverage of the Trump-Russia allegations was little more than idle speculation, every bit as lacking in hard evidence as Trump’s accusation that Obama was tapping his phones.

So true. Mark Levin laid this out in this interview on Fox News.

‘The evidence is overwhelming’: Mark Levin on Fox News lays out the case on Obama’s spying

After months of unfounded allegations and badly sourced speculation intended to cripple his administration, maybe Trump wanted to prove that only one side of the partisan divide is permitted to make “wild allegations.” Obama’s plants in the Deep State can leak whatever they please, law and truth be damned. They can get an avalanche of hostile coverage moving with a few phone calls or emails. The media feels no contrition when the story turns out to be exaggerated or completely false, eagerly turning to the same Obama holdovers as sources for the next big phony scoop.

Judge Napolitano says the media can publish leaked classified information with impunity.

I disagree, but we will have this debate in the next coming weeks.

I prefer the way Trump speaks. I understand him. When it comes to attorney’s, well I rate them below “shady” used car sales people. I never can be sure what they are saying.

Me too! Enough with the Clintonian newspeak already.

Now that is interesting. Very odd timing if it’s true isn’t it?

I’m glad you’ve caught on to Trump, good man.

It almost plays out like a Wilde paradox, does it not? ;-)

(love your tagline, btw)

I’ve appreciated his writings since the Green Room - when HA was still under the direction of MM.

Glad to see him at Breitbart.
