President Barack Obama’s Treasury Department regularly surveilled retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn’s financial records and transactions beginning in December 2015 and well into 2017, before, during and after when he served at the White House as President Donald Trump’s National Security Director, a former senior Treasury Department official, and veteran of the intelligence community, told the Star Newspapers.
“I started seeing things that were not correct, so I did my own little investigation, because I wanted to make sure what I was seeing was correct” she said. “You never want to draw attention to something if there is not anything there.”
The whistleblower said she only saw metadata, that is names and dates when the general’s financial records were accessed. “I never saw what they saw.”
By March 2016, the whistleblower said she and a colleague, who was detailed to Treasury from the intelligence community, became convinced that the surveillance of Flynn was not tied to legitimate criminal or national security concerns, but was straight-up political surveillance among other illegal activity occurring at Treasury.
“When I showed it to her, what she said, ‘Oh, sh%t!’ and I knew right then and there that I was right – this was some shady stuff,” the whistleblower said.
“It wasn’t just him,” the whistleblower said. “They were targeting other U.S. citizens, as well.”
Only two names are listed in the whistleblower’s official paperwork, so the others must remain sealed, she said. The second name is Paul J. Manafort Jr., the one-time chairman of Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.
The other names include: Members of Congress, the most senior staffers on the 2016 Trump campaign and members of Trump’s family, she said.

WE NEED MANDATORY MINIMUM 10 YEARS JAIL FOR ANY GOVERNMENT FRAUD OR CORRUPTION
I have read that his kid are adopted from overseas.
Possibilities for extortion exist.
There’s WAY more COUP PLOTTERS to add!!
Well, Sirius Lee, we have a blueprint for what that should look like...the US Constitution; specifically, the enumerated powers.
Let’s get started.
From your keyboard to God’s inbox, SkyPilot...
First fix - undo the 17th Amendment and return the Senate to representation of the states.
This *might* actually be legitimate, or be related to a legitimate investigation. Gen. Flynn had some sort of business relation with Turkey, and Erdogan was trying to get Gulen extradited. It makes sense that Treasury would keep an eye out for Turkish payoffs, but what unmasking the General had to do with that is, uhm, unclear.
Our whistleblowers don’t count.
I can't see firing everyone down to the janitor (I'm sure that's rhetorical) but I get the point. That's why I've maintained that every single politician in Washington DC needs to be shown the door, as you said barred from any future political office, and new blood, PEOPLE OF INTEGRITY, be allowed to take their places.
#Obamagate is deeper then we thought...….get the popcorn folks
and then the 19th ...
One whistleblower. “If only there were 10 righteous” comes to mind.
A “Whistle Blower” on OUR side?
Verily!
Will you take 5?
Probably to the fincin operation. That way they have “legitimate” reason to use domestic financial spying.
It's just how do you tell the difference?
That Trump survived and was elected seems nothing short of a miracle
Now they are done for, whoops, did you say RINOs. They never defend themselves. They have the herd immunity to scandal of a bunch of basking hippos. Stay away and they never make a fuss. Loud grunts, yeah. But that is about it.
