The Obama espionage scandal now dates to at least as early as 2011, it’s only a matter of time before revelations of FBI/CIA/NSA spying on the Romney campaign.

Or maybe more? Senatorial campaigns? House campaigns even? Governors? More?

Nothing will happen. The Democrats are the equivalent of the Roman citizens of old.

The GOP puts the 'uni' in uni-party. Ingenious really; we should give them (grudging) credit for hatching such a clever scheme.

Creating a false two-team construct in order to perpetuate power and accrue wealth - priceless. It makes all previous tyrannies appear stupid and incompetent. No wonder they hate Trump for spoiling their party.

Bob Menendez was also likely a target of Barack Milhous Obama’s goon spy squad.

I find it hard to believe that no laws were broken here.

I’m sure this is perhaps the most egregious abuse of government power we’ve witnessed in our nations history.

Yet, we know the media won’t mention this, at least 98% of the media.

So where does that leave us? Only Trump can unmask the unmaskers and have his justice department investigate.

Go to page 22 to answer you question if Obama spied on Romney during their election.

Sadly it only leads to another mystery, as to what exactly is “Report regarding Technical Surveillance Counter Measures inspection dated July 19, 2012” and what precisely it says.

For a current look and historical look at Obama using our intel agencies/people to spy on his opponents!

Kucinich apparently got in trouble for opposing Obama's and Hillary's efforts to remove Qaddafi. I certainly didn't like Qaddafi, but was it too much to ask for Hillary to figure out who would replace him? Or maybe Hillary and Obama think slavery/murder is no big deal as long as the deep state gets what it wants?

To my limited old mind, it answered your question did Obama use his massive Intel system to spy on Romney.

He did!

When Andrew McCarthy speaks it is well to heed his words for he is a man who marshals his facts, accurately cites the law, rigorously applies the law to those facts and tempers his conclusions with prudence.

Andrew McCarthy is a reliable source for relevant facts and law. In this instance he has once again moved our understanding of the Obama years intrusions into our civil liberties to a new level.

His counsel would have been invaluable to the administration before it made its initial claims of wiretapping in the Tower.

Bringing down Seven of Nine’s husband for the Fraud to get his foot in the door might have been the last time the leftists’ messiah DIDN’T personally order/use illegal espionage to get where he wanted to go.

On the other hand, Kucinich recounts that the recording is very clear on both ends (one might expect a Libyan recording would be distinctly clearer on the Libyan end).

This makes no sense.

By this logic a NSA-made recording would be more clear on the U.S. end.

Romney??? He was such an easy stooge for Obumbler. Would have been hard to run against President Honecker if President Honecker knows everything he is doing and Romney would have been too naive and stupid to believe he was being spied on.

Roman history shows clearly that being a citizen does not immunize you against State violence. Proscriptions, judicial murder, and forced assassinations were pretty common.
