I believe it will pan out as basically true and will give Trump/Sessions lots of red meat to sink their teethe into.

No one talks about this, but seems pretty obvious, that the claim of Russian collusion was sufficient enough for Obama to spy on the Trump campaign.

I think it may have been the other way around. Someone presented a very plausible scenario over the weekend where the Obama administration conducted the surveillance without any legitimate reason at all -- and never thought it would come to light because they assumed Clinton would win the election and bury any evidence of it.

Then, Trump went out and won the election ... at which point everyone in the Obama administration and Clinton campaign team who knew about the surveillance realized that the incoming president would find out all about it. They looked at each other and said to themselves: "Oh, sh!t -- NOW what do we do?!"

At this point (November/December 2016) the Democrats and their media lackeys began running stories about "Russians hacking the election." Everyone assumed that this was being done in a desperate attempt to overturn the election, but in reality it was part of a strategy to retroactively justify the surveillance of Trump's campaign that was surely going to come to light.

This would explain why the Russians took all of those stupid sanctions imposed the Obama administration so lightly. They saw this thing for exactly what it was.

Kimdotcom says they were watching and listening to Trump on his phone.

I bet with no legal authority.

That is the investigation he needs to look into...CIA covert ops on him.

“Wiretapped Data Used in Inquiry of Trump Aids” - a date which will live in liberal headline infamy. How they are wishing that had NEVER been printed! If only SOMEONE at the NYT had enough forsight and wisdom to kill that headline and article. I mean, this is the dead chicken strapped to the bad dog’s neck.

.... Considering the metadata collection and other information gathering systems used by our illustrious Department of Snoops, I think it is safe to assume that most, if not all, phones and communications devices are being spied upon and are thus tapped for spying. My guess is that they didn't need to procure 320,000,000 or more FISA warrants to do so.

.... It's possible that there are a myriad of ways to get around the FISA stuff if you have an asset on the inside to procure the information you want.

So-o-o-o-o.....did Valerie Jarrett have security clearance high enough to see (or even know about) a FISA warrant request, or that an actual warrant was issued?

Did Valerie Jarrett even obtain a formal security clearance? Go through the process? Same for Huma. Did Hillary ever go through the security clearance process? That plus the whole email server issue. . Inquiring minds want to know. Go for it Sessions!

Seems like these people would finally get tired of doing evil and want to just live a regular life. They all have plenty of money. Why don’t they just vacation, hang with their families and leave all this evil crap alone. They must be miserable people.

Uuuummmmmm, how about spied on Chief Justice Roberts...how else do you think they got him to support obamacare....That is what you call the weaponization of intelligence against an American citizen/Supreme Court Justice.

Great point. Roberts acted like a brain dead robot during the Obamacare business. Heard it was about his adopted kids but makes you wonder what other weaponized intelligence Obama used on him.

If I were Trump, I would never have a conversation with anyone unless it was during a walk outside—EVER.

Yea, that’s the ticket. Sure Obama spied on Trump and disseminated the information, but it was just accidental. Yea, let’s run with that for a while and see if the public buys this story.

Oh it's better than that. The server they wanted to surveil was registered to the "Trump Organziation, and installed 3 days earlier, DNS registered contact is Emily McMullin. Yes sister of that CIA shill scumbag McMullin.

I bet he does that. But in D.C. they can even pick that up. At some point, he probably just carefully watches what he says and saves conversations for Mar-a-Lago - assuming that's safe.
