Inconceivable!
Obozo had a FISA court approve all sorts of wiretaps on citizens....not inconceivable to me
You can bet that President has all the evidence he needs. The documents at the FISA court will back him up. Trump has Obama by the short hairs.
Not a surprise considering Obama’s actions the last eight years....
Considering all of the lawlessness the jug-eared, Marxist, anti-America POS got away with over the last eight years? Anyone with a brain you ignoramus...
One more thing. Did not Linda Graham laugh and mock President Trump on this story this morning? Looks like the joke is on Linda.
Thanks to that witch, Gorelick, intelligence agencies couldn’t share info concerning muslim terrorists but no problem for them to all share info on an opposing presidential candidate!
Unthinkable? Almost as bad as a news agency sharing debate questions in advance with one of the candidates!
who could have conceived that Obama, or his FBI or Justice Department, would have used the act to watch Trump
I can conceive it.
‘Watergate’ was a tempest in a teapot.
This Obama wiretapping scheme has all the earmarks of a large scale investigation and the jailing of Obama and all who assisted in this sinister usurpation of power.
All should be speedily arraigned, tried and sentenced to long terms in the Guantanamo facilities. The benefit to the criminals will be that no snow has to be shoveled.
What an excellent crowning and legacy for the phony who slept ate and sh-t in the White Hut when they weren’t out spending millions on their filthy vacations.
Obama’s library would be properly housed in an old-fashioned outdoor privy.
For a sitting president to do this... hell for that president to continue being active to the point of seditious after leaving office... is so unprecedented that it almost defies credulity.
And if this bears up under scrutiny, it well could be the end of the Obamas, the Clintons, the Democratic Party, the mainstream media, and progressivism in general.
Obama ordering the taps would be the single greatest FUBAR in American political history. He would have bet EVERYTHING on defeating Trump. And he lost. And the potential for blowback is incalculable.
Trump is now poised to alter the landscape as no elected official has before. And he'd better be damned careful. About his strategy. And about his personal safety.
Fascist dictators do it all of the time. I’m not surprised that Idi Amin Obama did it.
A comprehensive listing would be very long.
I guess you can't have "fundamental change" without doing a bunch of things that are — or were — "inconceivable."
I have been thinking this might happen since he got into office. One can easily tell a leftist totalitarian fascist dictator. He is that dictator.
This kind of surveillance and illegal activities by government remind me of what took place in the USSR in the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s reported by people lucky enough to escape the commies.
As President of the United States, Trump can obtain all the evidence he needs or those that will not provide it, goes before the proper authority after being charged with failure to obey orders of the President. No one has higher authority than the President. If classified he can declassify anything.
Jim, please note that the article says the application was initially submitted in June. Trump was not even the official nominee of the Republican Party in June. The Republican National Convention occurred Jul 18—21, 2016. The Left's Russian meme wasn't even started until around October. So what were Obama's goons doing spying on then totally private citizen Trump and his associates? Were they setting this all up that far back? This is an extremely important point that I hope you or LS or any other FReeper in a position to do so will make every effort to bring out as publicly as possible.
Although I don't remember during which debate it occurred, I recall that Trump was asked about Putin. Trump had said that Putin said nice things about him, so he said polite things about Putin in return. That seems to have been what the Left seized on to begin inventing this entire mess.
What independent investigation was the DOJ conducting last June that required wiretapping Trump Tower? The only investigation that we in the public were aware of at the time was into Hillary's email scandal, and I believe Comey cleared her around that time. So why did they need to request FISA ok to wiretap a man who was not yet even the Republican nominee?
