Trump's Monday Morning Tweetstorm: Surveillance, John Podesta, and Hillary Clinton

Donald Trump kicked off Monday praising Fox News for a report that exposed the “crooked scheme” against him.

“Such amazing reporting on unmasking and the crooked scheme against us by @foxandfriends. "Spied on before nomination." The real story.”

Fox & Friends tweeted about the “bombshell” report early Monday about an intelligence official who unmasked the names of people affiliated with the Trump campaign. According to the report, the official was “well-known, very high up, very senior in the intelligence world” and is known to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes.

 “The main issue in this case, is not only the unmasking of these names of private citizens, but the spreading of these names for political purposes that have nothing to do with national security or an investigation into Russia’s interference in the U.S. election,” a congressional source told Fox News. 

 The tweet comes after the president said Sunday that “the real story turns out to be surveillance and leaking.”

“Find the leakers,” he added.

On Podesta, the president asked whether “the brother of John Podesta paid big money to get the sanctions on Russia lifted? Did Hillary know?”

In March, the Daily Caller reported that John Podesta’s brother, Tony—described as a “Democrat super lobbyist”—was paid $170,000 to end U.S. sanctions on a Russian bank.

The president also brought up the fact that Hillary Clinton was given a debate questions ahead of time.

“Did Hillary Clinton ever apologize for receiving the answers to the debate? Just asking!” he wrote.

In March, former interim DNC Chair Donna Brazile admitted to passing along questions to Hillary Clinton.

Liberal heads just keep exploding, and Trump just keeps on winning. It’s a beautiful thing.

Trump is hoping some of the MSMers are dumb enough to say, ‘Hillary didn’t know Podesta was involved with Russia,’ or, ‘Hillary got the *questions,* not the answers!’

If either one happens, Trump will die laughing.

Give the LSM a Monday morning shot to disrupt their plan for the week. Tell Amrerica what the LSM should be covering.

saw F&F and am hoping FR & other pro-Trump media will focus entirely on the President’s agenda now and not let the FakeNewsMSM control the narrative any more.

stay on the offensive.

Someone forgot to tell Marianne Marsh, she was just on FOX repeating that it was all about surveillance of Russians, and any anyone in the Trump team that was caught up in it had been talking to Russians.

Three declarative sentences is a “storm”?

Works for me!

Regardless of the number of tweets, I’m glad he is getting messages like this out to the American people. (Although I would make a small criticism and tell him that he makes it sound like F&F are the ones with the scheme against him. But no big deal. We all know what he meant.)

It seems that Susan Rice may be the “higher up” who spread the news. However, who gave her the list of cables to access has still not been answered.

Podesta was dealing with Russians behind the scenes and raking in illegal Russian money. Arrest him! Do it now!

Exactly. Podesta is one hundred percent more involved with Russia than Trump. Apparently Hillary and the Democrats feel safe harping on Russia despite their brazen guilt, since they know the MSM will carry their water.

They are over-estimating the fossil media and underestimating the alternative media. It will take longer, but but Podesta’s Russian chickens will come home to roost.

I know it's very dispiriting that none of the media pukes outlets except FOX news are reporting on the unmasking and you know what's even sadder is that drudge does not have it front center as a bombshell with signature siren going!! Truly our president is on his own armed only with God and his Twitter! Seems the mediapukes are hell bend on driving a stake through his presidency! I often ponder why God doesn't immediately come to his rescue and destroy his enemies and this was the Almighty's answer to me ..The Spirit said because the teacher is silent when he is giving a test! Even Moses was heartbroken that the road was paved with so many evil obstacles for the Israelites in Egypt ......test after test the opposition grown nastier and stronger ...the Israelites were at the end of the rope and we're faint of heart...This is the point when God said,after he had heartened pharaoh heart (mediapukes, insane liberals) ..ENOUGH! ...

Exodus 14:13

13 Moses spoke to the people: “Don’t be afraid. Stand firm and watch God do his work of salvation for you today. Take a good look at the Egyptians today for you’re never going to see them again.

believe by faith this horrendous nasty evil mountain(those who want to destroy/kill trump and his whole family)will be removed! Remind me also when my faith is totally in the pits when this awful evil people gain...REMIND ME that GOD IS STILL IN CONTROL!! The attacks against our president are out of control....we can do nothing but hold onto faith seek after God and continue to pray for him and his family believing that God will deliver president Trump and us from these evil demonic people! Father I pray for our president give him favor, wisdom success ...let not his enemy triumph over him ... whatever schemes they have prepared to harm him, turn them around for good and prosperity ...in the name of Jesus I pray ....amen!

Susan Rice Requested Unmasking of Incoming Trump Administration Officials

Susan Rice, who served as the National Security Adviser under President Obama, has been identified as the official who requested unmasking of incoming Trump officials, Cernovich Media can exclusively report.

The White House Counsel’s office identified Rice as the person responsible for the unmasking after examining Rice’s document log requests. The reports Rice requested to see are kept under tightly-controlled conditions. Each person must log her name before being granted access to them.

Upon learning of Rice’s actions, H. R. McMaster dispatched his close aide Derek Harvey to Capitol Hill to brief Chairman Nunes.

“Unmasking” is the process of identifying individuals whose communications were caught in the dragnet of intelligence gathering. While conducting investigations into terrorism and other related crimes, intelligence analysts incidentally capture conversations about parties not subject to the search warrant. The identities of individuals who are not under investigation are kept confidential, for legal and moral reasons.

Excerpted: Go to link for full story on Obama’s Hit Woman, Susan Rice in this criminal act.
