But I've heard of 'Obamagate'.
Posted on 05/11/2020 5:04:01 AM PDT by EyesOfTX
It has grown increasingly obvious over the last few weeks that Barack Hussein Obama His Own Self was fully aware of and likely involved in the planning of Spygate from the very beginning. The drip, drip, drip of newly-declassified documents, most of them forced out into the sunlight by Acting DNI Ric Grenell and Attorney General William Barr, is providing an increasingly transparent picture of just what the former president had to know and when he must have known it.
VDO.AI Over the weekend, we talked about the fact that then-Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates was stunned to discover during a meeting on January 5, 2017 with Obama and James Comey that Obama was fully aware of all of the details surrounding the effort to entrap and frame General Mike Flynn, including the fact that the FBI was illegally recording Flynn’s phone calls during the presidential transition. This meeting occurred more than 3 weeks before the FBI’s carefully-choreographed entrapment interview with Flynn.
So, we know that Obama was intimately involved in that piece of the growing Spygate scandal. But it is almost certain that he was much more deeply involved than that, going all the way back to the germination of the effort to spy on and entrap certain members of the Trump Campaign, which we know began in late 2015.
We know that because all of those efforts were being conducted out of FBI headquarters under the umbrella of a counterintelligence investigation. As former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy told Captain Tick-Tock, Sean Hannity Friday evening, counterintelligence investigations are conducted for the president, and their progress is included in the president’s periodic intelligence briefings, which Obama received on a daily basis.
Here is a clip of McCarthy’s comments, followed by a transcript:

The president and his staff are kept informed on investigations through the President's daily brief.#Obamagate

Transcript:
McCarthy – What I’m saying is not that the president sits there and directs that there be counterintelligence investigations. What I’m saying is that, unlike criminal investigations, counterintelligence investigations are done for the president. The only reason to do them is to inform the president with the information he needs to protect the United States from foreign threats. They are not like criminal investigations in that regard.
So, in principle, the information from a counterintelligence investigation is for the president. And here, we know at various junctures we have actual factual information that this investigation was well-known to President Obama.
Hannity -Ok, so, if he knew, and this is all happening, he had to know about it from the get-go. Doesn’t that also imply that he would have been updated about all of this, if he’s the one that needs it for national security decision making?
McCarthy – Sean, if things were working properly, the President should’ve been alerted about it and informed about it. It was a very important investigation. If they actually believed what they were telling the court, that it was a possibility that Donald Trump was actually a plant of the Kremlin, it would have been derelict on their part not to keep the President informed.

Now, think about the implications of what McCarthy is telling Captain Tick-Tock in this clip. Everything, every element of Spygate, was coordinated out of the FBI’s counterintelligence division, which at the time was headed up by Bill Priestap, who reported to FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. This is why the demonic Peter Strzok had such a heavy role in every piece of the operation – he reported directly to Priestap at the time. So did FBI agent Joe Pientka, who conducted the Flynn entrapment meeting along with Strzok.
Comey and McCabe and Strzok have all claimed at the FBI formally kicked-off its counterintelligence operation against the Trump Campaign at the end of July, 2016, in an operation they named “Crossfire Hurricane.” But we know from a variety of documents now in the public domain that FBI and CIA operatives were in fact targeting Trump campaign people like George Papadopoulous way back as early as November, 2015.
We also now know that the FBI was engaged with and using information provided by British spy Christopher Steele throughout this entire time frame. And we also know that the FBI was fully aware that Steele’s information – which consisted mostly of salacious rumors provided by agents of Russia and other foreign governments – was highly questionable and very likely false. And finally, we also know that the FBI and DOJ were fully aware that Steele’s efforts were being funded by the Hillary Clinton Campaign and the DNC, which Clinton controlled at that time.
All of this is information that Barack Obama His Own Self almost certainly became aware of through his daily intelligence briefings.
Think about what else was going on under the rubrick of Crossfire Hurricane. That know-to-be-false information provided by Christopher Steele was being used by the FBI as its foundation for defrauding the FISA court and acquiring a series of illegally-obtained FISA warrants. The FBI used one of those illegal warrants to justify the tapping of Trump Transition Team phones, including General Flynn’s.
Obama knew. All of this. Every bit of it.
Now, think back to last Thursday and the breaking news that Acting DNI Grenell had hand-delivered a satchel filled with additional documents directly to Attorney General William Barr. What if those documents included copies of those daily intelligence briefings that were provided to then-president Obama during this time frame?
This could explain why President Trump suddenly switched from using the term “Spygate” to calling it “Obamagate” over the weekend. Obama’s sudden realization of how exposed he had left himself in all of this may have also motivated his decision to leak the tape of his carefully-scripted phone call with the “Obama alumni association” on Saturday.
Obama knew. He knew everything. Throughout the entirety of the 2016 presidential campaign, we had a sitting U.S. president fully aware of and actively participating in a spying operation on the nominee of the opposition party. He thought he was invulnerable because surely Hillary was going to beat Trump.
But then Trump won. And that victory by Trump necessitated the mounting of a coup d’etat on American soil in order to protect Obama and all of his his team, a coup effort that started with the attempt to entrap and frame General Mike Flynn.
Sidney Powell, Flynn’s badass lawyer who has had access now to far more information than is currently in the public domain, certainly thinks this is the case:
Tammy Bruce ✔ @HeyTammyBruce ICYMI video, the full @SidneyPowell1 intv w @MariaBartiromo on @SundayFutures. Much discussed, including: "President Obama was in on plot to 'frame' Flynn, attorney says" https://www.foxnews.com/politics/flynn-attorney-claims-president-obama-was-in-on-plot-to-frame-him …
President Obama was in on plot to 'frame' Flynn, attorney says Former national security adviser Gen. Michael Flynn's lead attorney accused top officials of orchestrating a plot to frame her client, insisting that former President Barack Obama himself was in on...
Obama knew. Everything.
This sure will be an interesting week.
That is all.
We all knew and know what will happen. Nothing.
Oh how I hope and PRAY that they all get their due dose of justice. I pray that Barr is not just another pick by President Trump that disappoints...… I want to see all of them in orange, leg and wrist shackled, with chains wrapped around their waist and then never see the light of day again. I’ll gladly pay the taxes to see them confined to a cell the rest of their hopefully long, depressing life.
Less than nothing will happen.
Obama is Untouchable.
I suppose they are trying to hark back to Nixon and the famous question — “What did the President know, and when did he know it?”
But this is different.
Nixon found out about Watergate after it happened. His mistake was trying to cover for people who did something dumb.
Obama was in charge of this operation. It wasn’t Comey. It wasn’t Brennan. Obama was trying to sabotage the 2016 presidential election and when that didn’t go well, Obama orchestrated a coup against the incoming president.
It’s worse than “knowing”.
Simple....both Obama & Biden and every single Democrat are Traitors and Turncoats. Both Obama & Biden should be arrested by the USA Marines, jailed and then stand public trail for both Treason and trying to destroy the USa Nation Republic!!! Case closed...End of story!!!
If this is true, there should be an archived record of these daily briefings.
The best thing to come out of Obamagate will be that Big Mike will sit the Biden VP sweepstakes out.
But I've heard of 'Obamagate'.
Yeah, but you can’t do anything to him because of this. After all, that would be racism.
So to whose benefit was this really done? I always thought it was equally Hillary and obama. Now I wonder.
This morning Sen. Mike Lee (R) was on Fox and Friends talking about an amendment he and Sen. Leaky Leahy (D) have proposed to curtail “MISTAKES” that the FBI did in obtaining FISA warrants to take down President Trump. He never mentioned the lawbreaking, perjury and conspiracy of the feds. Now these political hacks will use the word “mistakes” to excuse the lawbreakers. To think this guy Lee was considered for the SCOTUS is mind numbing.
As I sit here drinking myself stupid...oh wait im stupid already for drinking...it occurs to me that turning to the news is as entertaining as turning to a movie. The upside is its always a new act...i cant watch jason borne anymore (can i blame him for my alcoholism?). caps schmaps. oh yes...the news is a drama-sensationalized gig that has me enthralled. except there are no actors...sucks to be in the spotlight. i can hide...no one cares. I want the guy that plays peter stzrok to get whacked. off that cuss.
Satchel? Maybe it was a tranche or even possibly a trove?
Yes Obama knew. And the perps were all his henchmen. Jail them on the seditious overthrow charge.
Ain’t it though?
Obama told Trump the biggest thing he had to worry about was North Korea and Michael Flynn...
What is Obama’s obsession wit Michael Flynn?
I can see trump actually believing him, on his way in the door, but honest people tend to think everyone else is honest.
Just like liars think everyone else is lying. The medical term is called ‘projection’.
This was always Trumps biggest ‘problem’... being too honest in a den of thieves.
Yeah, but you can’t do anything to him because of this. After all, that would be racism.
