Obama’s Watergate - Six months later, CNN confirms what was widely reported —
The American Spectator ^ | September 22, 2017 | Daniel J. Flynn

FULL Title - Obama’s Watergate - Six months later, CNN confirms what was widely reported — and ignored on the left — last March.

Vladimir Putin did not hack the election. Barack Obama did.

Donald Trump said earlier this year that the Obama Administration wiretapped his campaign. “Like I’d want to hear more from that fool?” President Obama scoffed.

But CNN reported on Monday, “US investigators wiretapped former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort under secret court orders before and after the election…. The government snooping continued into early this year, including a period when Manafort was known to talk to President Donald Trump.”

The network labeled their story an exclusive. But, in fact, Breitbart, radio host Mark Levin, the realDonaldTrump Twitter account, and numerous other sources reported the wiretapping more than six months ago.

In the wake of the belated bombshell, other voices at CNN hung on, precariously but unabashedly, to the dated narrative.

In a story updated subsequent to CNN confirming the Obama administration’s surveillance on Manafort and noting his residence in Trump Tower, CNN reporter Manu Raju continued to characterize the president’s accusation affirmed by his network as Trump’s “unsubstantiated claim that Obama had Trump Tower wiretapped during the election to spy on him.” In March, Raju’s reporting consistently cast doubt on the president’s wiretapping charge.

So if Mr. AG Sessions does not pursue this and make the perpetrators pay, should we expect and accept this kind of thing in all future elections?

If (when?) Trump cuts an immunity deal with Julian Assange (shortly before bestowing upon him The Presidential Medal of Freedom for his gallantry in speaking truth to power for the betterment of all mankind, and for providing invaluable assistance to those working hard to "Drain The Swamp"), the entire O'Bunghole/Clinton Cabal goes to prison. We're talking about scores of very highly-placed, very naughty public blood-sucking ticks.

When the Democrats hold power, yes.

Let a Republican try this, and the screaming will cause moonquakes.

Bump. Where’s this going? Somebody wake up Jeff Sessions.

Why aren’t there calls from Congress for committee inquiries?

Nixon is owed a huge apology. Mere childs play in comparison to Obama.

I hope somebody makes it clear to Trump that he could now send Ozero and Killary to GITMO for as long as he wants.
