The dots are slowly being connected regarding the Obama surveillance scandal, and it’s not looking good for Barack. The evidence is mounting there was a massive conspiracy to hurt President Trump.
On June 27th of 2016, Bill Clinton met secretly with Obama Attorney General Loretta Lynch at the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. This scandal, with so many unanswered questions, has not been resolved.
Lynch did recuse herself from the Clinton email scandal. However new evidence suggests that meeting wasn’t about whether Hillary would go to prison, but one with a more insidious intent.
Right after this meeting, Loretta Lynch made her first FISA request to tap Trump’s phones. Let that sink in for a minute. Bill Clinton has a secret meeting with the one person in the world who can, all by herself, derail Trump’s campaign.

When in June was the 1st FISA request supposed to be made?
I was thinking along the lines of this story, but remembered that Lynch’s meeting with BJ was at the end of June and the reporting is that the 1st FISA request was in June.
Never realized that Lynch recused herself from the Clinton email scandal. Why would she do that??
I don’t remember ever reading about lynch recusing herself from hildabeast email investigation as it states in the piece.
“Why would she do that??”
Because she knew there was zero chance of Hillary being prosecuted. That’s why.

Illegal corruption aside, the fact they lost the election with deep state spies and surveillance against their opponents is just astonishingly pathetic.
She did not technically “recuse,” she “deferred” to Comey’s decision, IIRC. It was all a charade, as I thought it was just for show, and she could have ignored his recommendation in the end anyway.
AG Lynch did not recuse herself. She issued a weasel statement that said she expected to “accept” the results of Comey’s work. It in no way obligated her to follow Comey’s lead in any particular direction — she could “accept” a report from him and still do whatever she wanted. Recusal? No.
The plot is identical to Watergate...only the names have changed....
Get anything you can on Trump and any member of his crew.
Trump is right. This is Watergate all over....a mirror image.

*************
This is the new lie. I also heard some talking head make the same claim when discussing Sessions recusing himself.
Lynch did not recuse herself. She just said she would defer the decision to her underlings (i.e., Comey & crew). She still could have applied pressure, directly or indirectly, or even stepped in after coming up with some convenient excuse later.
Balderdash.
Interesting question ... yeah ... Clinton meeting was last week of June ... I can’t find the date of the first FISA ... all the articles I find just say ‘back in June 2016” ... maybe someone else will answer / or already has ...
I wouldn’t be surprised if POSObama vacates DC ASAP.
Somewhere I read June 16, 2016. I will go look for link.
Lynch did not recuse herself. At one point, she hinted that she’d defer to the forthcoming FBI recommendation, but she even hedged on that, saying that she’d be the final determinant.
She was leaving nothing to chance...
Someone wanted this survillance very badly. Who had a better motive than the Clintons? Who would be in a better position to know how the FUSS process works?

“Illegal corruption aside, the fact they lost the election with deep state spies and surveillance against their opponents is just astonishingly pathetic.”
This.
So many voters in so many states hated the Left and the GOPe so much that they chose a complete outsider to eviscerate the political machine, despite the majority, infinitely deep wallets, and absolutely anything that could be thrown at him but the literal end-all.
We all know Obama was wiretapping Trump.
Afterall, Obama even felt it was necessary a while back to monitor Angela Merkel’s calls.
Remember how pissed off she was?
Watergate was a two-bit break-in and an attempted coverup that involved the Potus.
This is heavy-handed corruption and intimidation on a massive scale, abusing the instrumentality of powerful government surveillance resources.
Odd. I did not find the exact date, but I found this instead. I think date of the FISA request was June 16, 2016. The date of this action was June 15, 2016.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The House of Representatives is set to debate and vote on a renewed effort to restrict warrantless surveillance. The amendment, offered to the Fiscal Year 2017 Department of Defense appropriations bill by Representatives Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), would prohibit warrantless backdoor searches of U.S. citizens’ online communications without first obtaining a warrant. It would also prevent the government from coercing individuals and companies to insert software or hardware vulnerabilities, also known as “encryption backdoors,” into products for surveillance purposes. The House of Representatives passed an identical amendment last year by an overwhelming 255-174 vote, and the year before by a veto-proof majority.
“By requiring a warrant to conduct surveillance on Americans, this amendment strikes the appropriate balance between national security and civil liberty and is a much needed next step as Congress continues to rein in the surveillance state and reassert the Fourth Amendment,” said Massie.
“This amendment is the most meaningful step Congress can take to end warrantless bulk collection of US persons' communications data, as well as protect that data from malicious hackers and bad actors,” said Lofgren. “The House has shown – by voting for the amendment by a large margin twice over the last two years – that it is committed to upholding the Constitution and protecting Americans from invasions of their privacy. With threats to America, we should not endanger the security of our digital environment by weakening encryption that protects everything from the power grid to air traffic control..."
It is very long.
