'Orwellian Big Brother' intrusion on Trump, other citizens in public and private sector.
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.
Klayman has been working with Dennis Montgomery, a former NSA and Central Intelligence Agency contractor who “left the NSA and CIA with 47 hard drives and over 600 million pages of information, much of which is classified.”
Montgomery then “sought to come forward legally as a whistleblower to appropriate government entities, including congressional intelligence committees, to expose that the spy agencies were engaged for years in systematic illegal surveillance on prominent Americans.”

I hope President Trump asks for his resignation.
One would hope that he fires his ass. Comey is a liar and totally dishonest.
Wasn’t Comey involved with the Marc Rich and Sandy “Burglar” Berger cases?
J Edgar Comey has got to go. Wonder how many people he is blackmailing?
It took him a few days to declare nothing there with the clontoon e mail scandle but now it will take years regarding the trump BS ? Gitmo for this guy.
I believe that is correct.
Comey needs to be FIRED. After that, Comey needs to be fully investigated for any and all wrong doing. He IS dirty, no question.
In all fairness to Comey, he can only credibly speak to the actions of the FBI. He has no operational control over the other sixteen US intelligence agencies, their agents or solitary well trained retired agents armed with the latest sophisticated surveillance equipment. If Nunes wants real answers perhaps he should interview under oath John Brennan, the Obama acolyte who ran the CIA.
He really had no incentive to lie to Congress earlier this week. He would have known better than anyone else that the facts would ultimately come out anyway.
This leads me to believe that maybe he "lied" for the sole purpose of motivating someone in Congress to get the facts out in public.
Comey should be sworn under oath and questioned immediately.
I am wondering if the reason Trump has not fired Comey is because it would look bad if there is an ongoing investigation into Trump or Trump’s associates. As soon as the investigation is over or it is handed off to an independent panel, Trump can lower the boom on this canker.
This reminds me of when Clapper grabbed his bald head when asked if innocent Americans were under surveillance... and said “Not intentionally”.
“In all fairness to Comey,”
Did you read the entire article???
It looks like most of the problem of disclosure falls on the FBI:
During Montgomery’s interview with FBI General Counsel James Baker, under grants of immunity, he “laid out how persons like then businessman Donald Trump were illegally spied upon by Clapper, Brennan, and the spy agencies of the Obama administration.”
“He even claimed that these spy agencies had manipulated voting in Florida during the 2008 presidential election, where illegal tampering resulted in helping Obama to win the White House.”
But that interview, “conducted and videotaped by Special FBI Agents Walter Giardina and William Barnett, occurred almost two years ago, and nothing that I know of has happened since.”
AND
Klayman wrote that it appears to have been “buried” by Comey, possibly because “the FBI itself collaborates with the spy agencies to conduct illegal surveillance.”
AND FINALLY, A SHOT AT NUNES
He said he previously visited with a staff lawyer, Allen Souza, to inform Nunes of questions that needed to be put to Comey while under oath.
“My expressed purpose: to have Chairman Nunes of the House Intelligence Committee ask Comey, under oath, why he and his FBI have seemingly not moved forward with the Montgomery investigation while, on the other hand, the FBI director recently claimed publicly, I believe falsely, that there is ‘no evidence’ of surveillance on President Trump and those around him by the Obama administration.
Questions:
Did Staffer Allen Souza NOT pass on the request??
Did Nunes not ask the questions to try to keep the cover up by Comey?
Does Comey or the “Deep State” have something on Nunes or Souza???
Special FBI Agents Walter Giardina and William Barnett need to be investigated!!! Did they bury it???
Or was it buried by FBI General Counsel James Baker?
So many questions!!!!
‘“Do you intend to get at and investigate the full truth, or as has regrettably been the case for many years in government, sweep the truth under the carpet?”
Other recipients of the letter were Reps. Adam Schiff, Mike Conaway, Peter King, Frank LoBiondo, Tom Rooney, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Michael Turner, Brad Wenstrup, Chris Stewart, Rich Crawford, Trey Gowdy, Elise Stefanik, Will Hurd, Jim Hines, Terri Sewell, Andre Carson, Jackie Speier, Mike Quigley, Eric Swalwell, Joaquin Castro and Denny Heck.’
What I do not get is why the Obama administration would use the FBI for surveillance when they were talking of firing Comey for the email stuff during the election.
COMEY BREANNAN CLAPPER ...... all lied
and now are desperate criminals
Really. So scary that he is getting away with this.
the e-mail scandal was too big to cover up
no prosecution resulted
and besides obama hates the clintons
and he wasn’t hurt by the e-mail revelations
and comey is protecting obama this time with the trump surveillance/wiretap
comey is crooked... and so are brennan and clapper
justice calls
Comey is lying. There was surveillance. He knows it. And take note that Obama has quietly left the US to visit Marlon Brando’s luxury estate in Tahiti. Did VALJAR go too?
This is the key lthat unlocks this whole story, and locks up the likes of comey.
