Surveillance cameras installed outside White House briefing room
Washington Examiner ^ | Sept. 21, 2018

Posted on 09/21/2018 1:33:28 PM PDT by deplorableindc

White House journalists fell under the gaze this week of surveillance cameras that now monitor a stretch of driveway where reporters make sensitive source calls, swap gossip, smoke cigarettes, and gather ahead of events with President Trump.

Cameras may seem like a no-brainer for sensitive public spaces, but White House press areas have few visible security technologies, and the arrival of a pair of large black observation tools attracted attention.

“Big brother is watching,” tweeted photographer Tom Brenner, who frequently covers White House events for The New York Times. The cameras are mounted on a pole near the side door of the White House briefing room.

Sarah Sanders should say that the new cameras are there to watch out for and document sexual assaults being committed by members of the MSM!

Really! They expect privacy in the White House. Trump doesn’t get that. This is crazy. I would not let them in the White House at all. But I certainly would not let them smoke or even use their phones.

Obama’s self-reverential “comeback” speech the other day was crammed with revisionism.

Valerie musta burned the midnight oil trying to paper over Obama’s most egregious acts.

The most jaw-dropping contention was Obama backtracking his record on free speech: “I complained plenty about Fox News,” the self-righteous ridden Obama bragged, “but you never heard me threaten to shut them down, or call them ‘enemies of the people.’”

N-o-o-o-o, Obama didnt do that....he just unleashed the full force of the DOJ, in the person of AG Eric Holder to pounce on Fox reporter James Rosen ......AND to intimidate Rosen’s family.

slate.com May 20, 2013

The Washington Post reported chief Washington correspondent for Fox News, James Rosen, was subjected to intense monitoring by the Obama admin, as part of an investigation into possible leaks of classified information about North Korea in 2009.

The intrusion on Rosen was more severe than that of Obama’s attack on AP reporters, whose phone call records were grabbed as part of a separate national security leaks investigation.

According to court documents, two days’ worth of Rosen’s personal e-mails, documents, and attachments stored in a Google Gmail account were seized as were all Rosen’s historic emails to a Yahoo account used by the alleged source, State Dept. security adviser Stephen Jin-Woo Kim.

The Obama admin ordered the seizure of information showing Rosen’s communication with “any other source” related to the leak...... and also demanded Google turn over IP addresses and other metadata stored by the reporter’s Gmail account.
In addition, investigators tracked Rosen’s movements to and from the State Department using security badge access records, and the timings of his calls with Jin-Woo Kim were traced.

The Obama admin also seized phone records of Rosen’s parents.—snip—(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...

FBI agent says bureau leaked stories, then used them to get FISA warrants
Fox News ^ | August 28, 2018 | By Brooke Singman
FR Posted by Hojczyk

A top FBI special agent admitted to House committees that bureau officials were known to leak information to the press and then use the resulting articles to help obtain surveillance warrants. Special Agent Jonathan Moffa, who worked with controversial former FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, testified behind closed doors

A source with knowledge of his testimony confirmed to Fox News that Moffa said FBI personnel would use media reports based on information they leaked to justify applications for Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants. The source told Fox News that Moffa acknowledged this “had been a practice in the past.”

Republicans have long questioned to what extent leaked information, related to the unverified anti-Trump dossier, was used as a basis for surveillance warrants against former Trump adviser Carter Page in 2016 -- when the bureau was led by James Comey and deputy Andrew McCabe.

The source told Fox News that Moffa did not specifically confirm the practice of using leaked information to bolster warrant applications was employed with regard to the dossier. But, when pressed by the committees on whether this was common practice at the FBI, Moffa acknowledged the FBI had at least engaged in this activity in other cases. House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows, R-N.C., told Fox News on Tuesday that the committee had evidence of the FBI’s practice that would be “hard to refute.”

“We know that some people at the Department of Justice and the FBI actually gave information to the media, then the stories were reported. Then they used those reports to justify further investigations,” Meadows said on “America’s Newsroom” Tuesday. “You know, that’s like saying, we’re going to incriminate on one hand, and be the jury on the other. It just doesn’t work that way.” (Excerpt) more at foxnews.com ...

So the libtard socialist press, doesn’t like an eye of scrutiny on them.

Hmmm.
