This list includes Dennis Kucinich and investigative journalists. In 2011, Dennis Kucinich was still a Democratic congressman from Ohio. But he was not walking in lockstep with President Obama — at least not on Libya. True to his anti-war leanings, Kucinich was a staunch opponent of Obama’s unauthorized war against the Qaddafi regime.

Kucinich’s very public efforts included trying to broker negotiations between the administration and the Qaddafi regime, to whom the White House was turning a deaf ear. It was in that context that he took a call in his Washington office from Saif al-Islam Qaddafi, the ruler’s son and confidant. Four years later, as he recalled in a recent opinion piece, Kucinich learned that the call had been recorded and leaked to the Washington Times. The former lawmaker believes the monitoring of his communication and the subsequent leak are the work of American intelligence agents....

Who thought they were only afraid of Trump is a fool

Those who had any chance was wiretapped

[arkfreepdom]

I remember him complaining about this at the time. It vlearly soured him in the dems and I brlieve his daughter as well. Kind got sure but he was very angry about it and received no attention.

[Piranha]

I’m sure that’s how they got Dinesh D’Souza.

[Grampa Dave]

So was/are there anyone that Obama's deepstate thugs didn't spy on?

[arkfreepdom]

Geez. I should spell check.

I remember him complaining about this at the time. It clearly soured him on the dems and I believe his daughter as well. Libs for sure but he was very angry about it and received no attention.

"Susan the Sifter" gets her orders for the day.

"Susan, as you sift through the intel, get me something
damaging on Penguin books so I can shake them down for
a lucrative book deal."

"And get Harvey Einstein's tax returns. Malia needs a job."

"Oh, and Lois needs intel to target conservatives' tax-exempt status.
And don't forget the FBI files on Sharyl Atkisson and Kucinik."

Kucinich said this back in March. Dennis: I was wiretapped in 2011 after taking a phone call in my congressional office from a foreign leader.”

Dennis was ostracized for criticizing the Messiah.

[RayChuang88]

I think we're going to find out that Obama was using NSA resources to spy on all political enemies as far back as 2009!

[Behind the Blue Wall]

The spying around the Iran nuclear deal is maybe​ even scarier than the Trump stuff.

[NeoCaveman]

In theory Obama may have viewed him as a potential 2012 primary challenger from the left...

[Buckeye McFrog]

Dennis was ostracized for criticizing the Messiah.

Yes, and the Ohio GOP did their dirty work for them by gerrymandering him out of his district.

[Mariner]

I just don’t see any way the Trump DOJ can avoid dozens of prosecutions, both of Intel/LEO agency employees and former members of the Obama administration.

There are also likely current members of Congress at risk.

It’s the worst political corruption scandal in American history too.

And sheriff Joe.

Can we get rid of the NSA/KGB now?
