In addition to the attempt to overturn an election and influence another election (2018 house) and hamstring a new administration (wildly successful with 2 plus years of turmoil) there is something else they are covering up.
The Obama administration used the NSA and surveillance state for political reasons to spy on their opponents, congress, and journalists.
This is equally as scandalous and it further explains the motive for all of this - they had to get rid of Flynn lest all of this be discovered and disclosed to the American public.
Stop and consider that according to the laws of our nation, there were likely THOUSANDS of individual felonies committed by the prior administration. Every single time political operatives queried communications with an American citizen they violated the law.
In fact, they were so blatant about it that they arranged for “contractors” to be hired by the DNC and HRC campaigns who were also contractors for the FBI/CIA. In other words, paid political opposition researchers had direct access to the NSA database!
Let that sink in for a bit..... how/why so many people are missing this is a mystery.
There are thousands of Watergates that occurred. Flynn was going to figure all of this out and lest we forget, Trump claimed he was “wiretapped” and the media and left howled.
It was true.
Mike Rogers told him.
Maxine Watters told us.
Chuck Schumer told us.
Samantha Powers told us when she expressed surprise at the “unmaskings” done in her name.
Many in the GOPe knew this also.... Graham and others. They knew and said nothing. They allowed this.
It is all right there if people simply connect the dots. This is far worse than “Watergate.”
Every action since Trump won the election has had a dual purpose - hide the fact that our government had become the KGB in America AND damage Trump.
They damaged Trump and that part of the story is now clearly established, but the rest of the story has not entered our public discourse and it remains hidden (classified).
They talk a lot about the FISA court, but in reality they bypassed the FISA court a long time ago with Trump (and others) and people in both parties knew about it. The whole point of obtaining the ridiculous FISA orders against Carter Page was to try and give them legal cover for what they had already done! Trump was going to learn all of this, but they froze him out to keep it secret.
The FISA against Page was never the primary objective! The FISA authorizations were to “clean up “legally” what they had already illegally done” as a FISA order not only allows you to jump two people from the target - it allows you to retroactively access the databases.
This is why they have been so desperate and this is why they are howling so loudly now. This is why they made a desperate attempt to impeach Trump on the flimsy Ukraine phone call.
Does it all make more sense now?
Compared to this explosion, Watergate was a firecracker.
