THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED, FOLKS. THIS IS IT.
Start of Rex' comments as follows:
1. I think I may have discovered what the DOJ & FBI are desperately trying to hide.
It was POTUS Obama himself who authorized the use of surveillance on Team Trump.
2. The surveillance may have been conducted by UK intelligence - and then fed back to Obama’s IC thugs, for unmasking in the US.
Let me explain.
3. Here's the thing.
An American POTUS can LEGALLY authorize electronic surveillance 'without a court order...to acquire foreign intelligence information for periods of up to one year’.
Yes, it's true. Obama had legal authorization to by-pass the normal court vetting process.
4. Such power lies in 50 U.S. Code § 1802 -
Electronic surveillance authorization without court order; https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/50/1802 …
5. ‘Foreign intelligence information’ in relation to a ‘US person’ (eg Team Trump) is information that’s necessary for the US to protect against attack, hostile acts, sabotage, terrorism, as well as ‘clandestine intel activities’ /...
6. /...by a foreign power, or agent of a foreign power (Russia), OR information relevant to the national defense/ security of the US, or the conduct of the foreign affairs of the US.
7. Now, this authorization by POTUS (eg Obama) requires certification by the AG (eg Lynch - DOJ) that MUST be lodged with ‘the court’ (eg FISC):
'The (AG)+ shall immediately transmit under seal to the court ...(FISC).. a copy of his certification.'
8. So if my analysis is correct, a copy of that certification is currently under seal AT LEAST with the FISC & DOJ.
THAT'S what they're trying to desperately hide.
9. But that's just the start.
The Act says that the AG has to keep the Select Committee on Intelligence AND the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence informed of these authorizations AND unmaskings under them.
See 1802 (a) (1) (C), above.
10. If this is what's happened, my bet is that Lynch didn’t bother reporting, or selectively reported to the Committees in a way that excluded non-friendlies.
NOW can you see why Schiff, Feinstein, Warner & Co are frightened?
11. Connect dots :
#1 - Obama authorized electronic surveillance on Team Trump, by-passing normal judicial oversight.
12. #2- to create 'foreign intelligence', Brennan and others organized for UK intelligence, to conduct surveillance on Team Trump (either from UK, or from a UK govt asset within the US).
Thats why the Brits were brought in.
13. #3 - Obama's authorization was certified by AG Lynch and is now held under seal by the DOJ (and FISC).
The DOJ are terrified of making this known.
14. #4 - From Obama’s authorization, ALL the unmasking followed, as well as the FBI fraudulent counter-intel investigation AND perhaps the FISA warrant, too.
That reels in all the Obama THUGS.
15. Now, why is this a CRIME?
Obama's authorization was based on MANUFACTURED EVIDENCE (the Fusion GPS Dossier, secretly funded by the Clinton, DNC & Obama).
16. You can be certain - Obama KNEW it was FAKE, when he made the authorization. As did Lynch, when she certified it. Obama’s entire ‘inner circle’, the ‘Secret Society’, ALL KNEW.
That’s what will come out.
17. They were trying to frame an innocent citizen and destroy a political rival using 'trumped up' evidence (lol). These were genuine police state tactics. This is the sort of thing that happens in Putin’s Russia. Or Mugabe's Zimbabwe.
18. If true, it takes the US into totally uncharted territory.
It also has grave ramifications for any UK politician or official, who was involved in any way.
19. A POTUS himself, hatching a plan to destroy an American using fake evidence?
I really hope it ISN'T true.
But I suspect it may well be.
And that what's coming is far, FAR worse than any of us may have thought.
The end.
20. ADDENDUM : in this interview, @SaraCarterDC points out that the applications to the FISC for the original & subsequent warrants may reveal 'the smoking gun'.
21. Importantly, @SaraCarterDC notes that each new application must include the earlier supporting intel. IOW, an 'evidence' trail of compounded 'intel'.
Now the law says that Obama's authorization & Lynch's certification - if made - had to be issued to the FISC under seal.
22. However, given that the crooks had failed to get a FISA the first time, earlier in 2016, it's reasonable to conclude that Obama's authorization/Lynch's certification (again, if made) was included as part of the October FISA application.
We're getting close, folks.
The end.
23. ADDENDUM #2: OK it seems that this theory is getting a lot of interest.
I'm going to add this, which would be consistent with the UK government discovering illegal use of UK intelligence power as part of the illegal framing of Trump.
24. Note the date of Hannigan's 'resignation' - 23 January, 2017. Just after the inauguration.
You know what that means, if it's related?
Trump has known EVERYTHING since then.
Will keep you updated.
You think the congressional Republicans are "friendlies"?
What they're hiding is that McConnell and Ryan have known all about this since the beginning.
Brilliant Summary. (Ping to post #7.)
Soon roll out of RICO special prosecutor? ( Racketeering Influence,Corrupt Organization).
Sessions has lost control of this altogether.That’s a good thing.
I bet the turd-le sucked his way into this mess somehow.
NOTE WELL: @SaraCarterDC points out that FISC apps for the original & subsequent warrants may reveal 'the smoking gun.'
@SaraCarterDC notes that each new app must include the earlier supporting intel. IOW, an 'evidence' trail of compounded 'intel'.
Now the law says that Obama's authorization & Lynch's certification - if made - had to be issued to the FISC under seal.
However, given that the Obama crooks had failed to get a FISA the first time, earlier in 2016, it's reasonable to
conclude that Obama's authorization/Lynch's certification (again, if made) was included as part of the October FISA application. (hat tip REX blog)

Nice post!
I wouldn’t put all my eggs in that basket.
(a)
(1) Notwithstanding any other law, the President, through the Attorney General, may authorize electronic surveillance without a court order under this subchapter to acquire foreign intelligence information for periods of up to one year if the Attorney General certifies in writing under oath that—
(A) the electronic surveillance is solely directed at—
(i) the acquisition of the contents of communications transmitted by means of communications used exclusively between or among foreign powers, as defined in section 1801(a)(1), (2), or (3) of this title; or
(ii) the acquisition of technical intelligence, other than the spoken communications of individuals, from property or premises under the open and exclusive control of a foreign power, as defined in section 1801(a)(1), (2), or (3) of this title;
..............................................
(B) there is no substantial likelihood that the surveillance will acquire the contents of any communication to which a United States person is a party; and
.............................................
(C) the proposed minimization procedures with respect to such surveillance meet the definition of minimization procedures under section 1801(h) of this title; and
if the Attorney General reports such minimization procedures and any changes thereto to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence at least thirty days prior to their effective date, unless the Attorney General determines immediate action is required and notifies the committees immediately of such minimization procedures and the reason for their becoming effective immediately.
(2) An electronic surveillance authorized by this subsection may be conducted only in accordance with the Attorney General’s certification and the minimization procedures adopted by him. The Attorney General shall assess compliance with such procedures and shall report such assessments to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence under the provisions of section 1808(a) of this title.
(3) The Attorney General shall immediately transmit under seal to the court established under section 1803(a) of this title a copy of his certification. Such certification shall be maintained under security measures established by the Chief Justice with the concurrence of the Attorney General, in consultation with the Director of National Intelligence, and shall remain sealed unless—
(A) an application for a court order with respect to the surveillance is made under sections 1801(h)(4) and 1804 of this title; or
(B) the certification is necessary to determine the legality of the surveillance under section 1806(f) of this title.
(4) With respect to electronic surveillance authorized by this subsection, the Attorney General may direct a specified communication common carrier to—
(A) furnish all information, facilities, or technical assistance necessary to accomplish the electronic surveillance in such a manner as will protect its secrecy and produce a minimum of interference with the services that such carrier is providing its customers; and
(B) maintain under security procedures approved by the Attorney General and the Director of National Intelligence any records concerning the surveillance or the aid furnished which such carrier wishes to retain.
The Government shall compensate, at the prevailing rate, such carrier for furnishing such aid.
(b) Applications for a court order under this subchapter are authorized if the President has, by written authorization, empowered the Attorney General to approve applications to the court having jurisdiction under section 1803 of this title, and a judge to whom an application is made may, notwithstanding any other law, grant an order, in conformity with section 1805 of this title, approving electronic surveillance of a foreign power or an agent of a foreign power for the purpose of obtaining foreign intelligence information, except that the court shall not have jurisdiction to grant any order approving electronic surveillance directed solely as described in paragraph (1)(A) of subsection (a) unless such surveillance may involve the acquisition of communications of any United States person.

You nailed it. This is what they’re trying to hide.

Who in the world is "Hannigan?"

In case you missed this on Twitter, here is a most plausible theory. Am posting the link to it above.
Excellent theory. You should pass it on to Sara Carter and Rush Limbaugh.
It means the end of the UK-US alliance as well, should they adopt any attitude short of complete and total cooperation.
“It was POTUS Obama himself who authorized the use of surveillance on Team Trump. “
O’muslim was using the IRS against political opponents in 2009. He’s been illegally spying on his ‘enemies’ since he was sworn in. We had marxists maoists and muslims in charge of the executive branch for 8 years... The Obama regime was a treason regime.
Imperator Rectum is late to the painfully obvious. A good attempt to sound like Conservative nuthouse, though.
Basically, to further synopsize, homobama employed foreign intelligence so as to circumvent the law in order to spy on, and destroy political opponents.
Great work.. Keep us updated!
