In short, Obama remains emperor by proxy.

[HombreSecreto]

A reasonable hypothesis.

[ExTexasRedhead]

FYI

[tiki]

I always thought they had something on him.

[Dixie Yooper]

They blackmailed him for more than Obamacare?

[pgkdan]

Schiff is out there spinning like a top trying to dismiss the significance of this report. That tells me it REALLY is explosive.

[Political Junkie Too]

I just posted this on another thread before seeing yours.

From What does the memo say? Your Predictions at 10:50:53am:

An extreme hypothesis, but maybe the memo suggests that Obama was spying on all 16 of the Republican primary candidates, but since Trump won he's the only one they took to the next step?

I see we still think alike... :-)

I've always suspected this since Farkas revealed what they'd been doing (remember she left Obama administration in 2015) - Scalia also said he believed the SCOTUS was being spied on.

John Roberts first wrote the opinion against Obamacare, then switched his vote. It was then considered and now more believed that he was blackmailed, presumably something to do with the adoption of his kids, but it could be worse.

The FISC has also been corrupted. Contreas was recused by the Court (he didn't recuse himself) and only after it was revealed in testimony before congress that the Courts had been corrupted as well.

Has the American public been snookered again?

Where does Mary McCord's spouse work?

[Be Careful]

You are spot on.

As well, when the issue of the birth certificate was making its way through several different states to get a ruling on the validity of Obama’s candidacy, .., it seems to me that the cases were all factually accurate and well-founded....but then the several judges, in different states, would dismiss the case and drop it like a hot rock.

Even way back then, it seemed so fishy....what did they have on those judges?

It would have only taken one state to fail to recognize Obama...and that would have stopped the whole campaign dead in its tracks.

So, now it all makes sense.

[RinaseaofDs]

Well good morning.

You think this has a realistic chance it is going to be exposed and linked?

[boxlunch]

I think they had dossiers on pretty much ANYONE with any proximity to the reins of power in DC. ANYONE.

Although we have speculated that on FR for a long time, it looks like maybe, finally, we have proof in black and white.

I cant wait to hear more about the email servers supposedly setup for backdoor email communications. (Set up by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt). If the white hats have found those and have that in possession, watch out.

My question is this though,
1) if most of the members of Congress on both sides of the aisle have been blackmailed, (and are still being threatened presumably)
2) and if MSM is in on it and can publish anything about any of them- the full blown propaganda organ is still pouring out its vile lies 24/7
3) so they (those being blackmailed) are scared to go after the real black hats/rock the deep state boat,
4) how can this ever be prosecuted and cleaned up? Who can do it?

If we think the minority of us who are actually watching and paying attention can bring pressure by tweeting or posting to FB I think that is just not going to be enough to overcome the levels of fear, lies, blackmail, etc to bring these villains to justice.

I’m trusting DJT has a plan for this, and I hope a big part is doing something about the MSM propaganda machine.

Larry, when you can, go outside and take in the view for me. Thanks!

One thing though - "if the dossier was a blackmail doc on Trump, assigned & assembled BEFORE Trump was even the front runner" - this may not be the full timeline here. The "dossier" was produced after Rogers found out and DOJ brass shut down FISA access to the FBI in April 2016 and Nellie Ohr got her ham radio license in May 2016. The day after their FISA stream was shut down, Glenn Simpson's (Fusion-GPS) wife, Mary Jacoby, went to the White House with a party of six people.

Note there are failures in the "dossier" that are like marked bills - "Cohen", Trump's lawyer, was misidentified to be somebody named "Cohn" (the person who lives in the same state as Cohen and was the one who actually went to Prague) and the bank specified for Carter Page was said to be "alpha", not "alfa" - this stuff was all manufactured by Fusion GPS and some of it was likely spoken from one to another and therein these mistakes arose and stand out like a bloody fingerprint. #ReleaseTheMemo

I was hypothesizing with someone last night about whether, or not, there was any reference to JR being surveilled in “the Memo”. My buddy thought that might be one reason why the congressman were so “shocked” at what they saw. Thanks for your thoughts, LS.

[COBOL2Java]

Rice: "God! How many more phone conversations of his do we have to listen and record? I mean, it's not like he's going to be the candidate!"

Obama: "Roberts wants it all - something for each candidate. We're almost done with Trump, then Bush is next."

[V K Lee]

Yes, at the time it was thought this was the result of blackmail. How could it be? IT BE and easily!

[Lurkinanloomin]

I have always thought Roberts was blackmailed.
His appearance the day they announced the Obamacare decision confirmed my suspicions for me.

[mlo]

Silly. There’s no reason to believe Roberts was influenced by anything except his own ideas.

[philman_36]

this FISA stuff is described ad a "threat to our democracy"

Ah, parsing language and reading between the lines.
Since America isn't a democracy, it's a Constitutional Republic, this can only be read as this FISA stuff is a threat to Democrats, not the nation.
