"...It has a negative connotation, a rogue operation, out of control, not in compliance of the law..."
Really?
So the people we have in and out of this country who have put their lives in danger doing "spying" in the service of their country have negative connotations with their sacrifice, are classified as a rogue operation, are "out of control" and are "not in compliance with the law"?
What Clapper, and nearly every leftist doesn't want to admit is that is isn't the "spying" that is problematic, it was how that "spying" was conceived, planned out, initiated, "justified", executed, and excused.
We spy all the time in and out of this country, and for damn good reasons. To spy on a vast group of people for political purposes as was done is not one of them.
And I think the real scandal is, we are going to find out this wasn't just "spying" on Trump, either. I think the abuses by the Obama Administration and those on the Left in this respect are going to shock our country to the core.
And it should. Because what was done to Trump for political reasons is in all likelihood being done to legions of nobodies like us for even less valid reasons, and you will have a hard time finding less valid reasons than the "political" ones.
And the redoubtable Loretta Lynch. I want to see her hide nailed to the wall.
Spying is colloquial easy to understand language for espionage. Every lowly democrat can understand spying. that is why it is so dangerous to them
The Obama administration conducted a program of ESPIONAGE against the Republican Presidential candidates.
” James Comey, Rod Rosenstein, and some other familiar faces should be yanked back onto the Hill”
Nope enough Congressional inquiries, they should be arrested at 4AM by Federal Marshals and stood up in front of a Grand Jury.
It seems to me that if law enforcement gets a LEGITIMATE warrant through an honest process from a competent judge, then the operation would be legal surveillance of a target in a criminal investigation.
But rogue FBI agents making up dossiers, lying to judges, getting false warrants, going on fishing expeditions to torpedo political rivals ... that would be a spy operation.
There was NSA database query abuse by FBI contractors. The redacted FISC court report suggests extensive targeting of certain individuals. That is a scandal unto itself. Maybe some more sunlight will shine on the abuse.
Is there any way to get to Barry Soetero?
I believe President Trump can declassified anything he wants.
Once he saw the opportunity he simply put the plan out there for Hillaroid to bid on it. Christopher Steel and Simpson know each other so it was easy to set it motion. I think they thought Trump dirt rumors would be enough but it snowballed big time, and Trump won anyway. In come Mueller to cover tracks.
Yes, I am sure Trump can declassify it. I also wonder if Barr could himself. I’m sure he has the clearance necessary to read it and hopefully will have his prosecutors doing just that.
That is my far from expert assumption too.
RE: enough Congressional inquiries
Right on! Let the AG and DOJ do their jobs, let the grand juries begin, and let me see indictments VERY SOON.
IT has to go a long, long way to top the last "scorching" report. Remember that one? As I recall, it was a total nothingburger.
Exactly. Fay Mr. Wray should have asked Shaheen whether the CIA was SPYING when they “surveilled” the Senate Intel Committee in 2014. A whole lot of media blowpipes thought so at the time. A simple search turns up a dozen stories, including by the NYT and MSNBC, with the SPY word plastered throughout headlines and content. Was the Senate Intel Committee Democrat Staff full of mobsters, criminals, and Chinese espionage agents posing as drivers? I retract that last question...
Interesting to ponder... hate to think such a vicious plot could have originated from such simplicity but it’s sure possible and it makes sense.
Like Rush has noted “For $10 Million, Hillary sure got a bonazana.” (paraphrasing) Look at the trouble she’s caused.
Right and I’m sure AG Barr will declassify all that info straight away, now that John Soloman has made certain it’s YUGE NEWS!
PING to rlmorel;

But the more I think about it, I think he sees he is going to be on the hot seat, and when he is, he won't be able to talk to the press anymore. I think he is trying to get out in front and say as much as he can before he is silenced by an active legal process.
Thanks for the ping, by the way, much appreciated.
