Clarified it even more
Gee... we werent spying on you. How could you suggest such a thing? We were just investigating what you were doing without telling you and then privately reporting it to your political opponents, self-servingly leaking harmful parts to the press, using the information to lie to our courts in order to wiretap ALL of your communications and then appointing a special counsel to further investigate you with the end goal being your impeachment in order to overturn an election we initially tried to steal and somehow lost despite all of our cheating and criminally using the powers of the federal government against you.
What the NYT needs to be challenged on is who gave the orders to start the spying on a Republican candidate. It is incredible to suggest it was hatched and executed by a few rogue agents. OK, NYT, prove it - the citizens have a right to see it all.
If it were truly a rogue event, and if BHO had a scintilla of courage and decency, he would be demanding right now a full and complete investigation, and call on his people to fully cooperate. Not only is his personal and his administration’s reputation at risk, but more importantly he would be concerned of the serious damage / corruption to our federal institutions. There is a reason he has not spoken up in this manner.
