Serious claim: FBI's Comey 'falsely' denied surveillance
Worldnet Daily ^ | 22 March 2017 | Bob Unruh

Posted on 03/22/2017 12:12:39 PM PDT by amorphous

The lawyer who founded Judicial Watch and later Freedom Watch, Larry Klayman, has sent a letter to Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., chairman of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, asking him to look at a whistleblower’s evidence of “systematic illegal surveillance on prominent Americans, again including the chief justice of the Supreme Court, other justices, 156 judges, prominent businessmen such as Donald Trump, and even yours truly.”

That spying was done, Klayman’s letter contends, by the FBI.

It’s become a major issue following President Trump’s assertion that he and Trump Tower were spied upon by the federal government, and the subsequent denials by intelligence and law-enforcement officials, including FBI Director James Comey, who famously cleared Hillary Clinton on accusations she mishandled classified information as U.S. secretary of state.

Even if the claim holds up that the surveillance was incidental, I’ll never be convinced that Obastard wasn’t reading them while the toner was still hot.

Brit Hume brought up a great point last night. He said if the Trump campaign was under investigation by Comey then there had to be some kind of surveillance

[[Doesn’t Trump have the ability to fire Comey? If so why hasn’t he? What am I missing here?]]

It’s possible trump is allowing comey to sink himself- We’ll see how this all plays out- Trey Gowdy kept zeroing in on the term ‘unmasked’ making comey go on record admitting that it is a serious crime- there was a reason Trey was insistent on getting comey to admit that- it’s possible that we are seeing a game of chess play out here- Trump ‘May Be’ exposing hte FBI and CIA for what they are here-

Oddly....how all this spills out AFTER Comey’s testimony

Isn't it.

Sessions unintentionally put Trump in a bit of a bind when he recluse himself.

If this revelation is true he just turned the tables on them.

“Wire tapping “ is a generic term for surveillance, not a literal term any more. These are NSA Echelon transcripts used internally by the cia to unmask transition team members ( Flynn)as well as many others including our PRESIDENT and to feed information in and out of government without a warrant. Where is the Fisa Warrant? This exploded today. These are felonies!! This is just beginning.

I think he is allowing Comey to first make a public fool of himself and lose all credibility before firing him, rather than let him look like a political martyr.

I would think Trump can’t fire him while the Russia link investigation is ongoing.

To do so now would make it look like Trump is guilty of something they are investigating.

Seems as though Comey is doing a fine job of firing himself though.

Obviously Comey has info that would bring down people that Trump doesn’t want brought down. Probably Republican Congressional leaders that Trump feels he needs.

I’ve believed for a long time that judges and politicians are routinely blackmailed...

My thoughts as well...I think that's how the "deep-state" ultimately holds sway over our politicians.

I posted a few days ago when certain cretins were harping “Trump has to prove wiretapping
was happening”...I felt Trump was waiting to set the hook...he did, gotcha.

It's obvious​ the FBI and via etc work for the government and against the people. SC Justice Roberts was blackmailed. And once that happens, they are owned. It only has to happen once.

No reason to fire a guy who seems to be compromising himself every time he meets a microphone.

including the chief justice of the Supreme Court,


That would be a major bombshell if it could be proved... because it was widely speculated time of the Obamacare ruling “rewriting the law” that Chief Justice Roberts was blackmailed in to it

I’ve had this gnawing suspicion about why nobody in Washington wants to come clean about the surveillance of Trump’s team: They now suspect that Trump was onto the surveillance WHILE IT WAS GOING ON.

I think obama was blackmailing everyone on the left and right 24/7. No way could he ram his agenda through otherwise.

I believe that corrupt lowlife Kenyan used surveillance to collect dirt and blackmail politicians and judges. There's no way he would have been able to commit so many crimes and get away with it. That's the investigation I think they are afraid of.

It would bring down our government and likely lead to civil war, if that's not where we're headed already.
