Investigative Journalist...: ‘Where’s My FBI File and Why Withhold it?...

(Gateway Pundit) – Investigative journalist, Sharyl Attkisson was one of the many people targeted by the Obama administration for surveillance.

Her personal computer and CBS laptop were hacked after she began filing stories about Benghazi that were unflattering to the Obama administration. Attkisson wrote a New York Times bestseller documenting this called ‘Stonewalled’.

The ease and nonchalance with which lawless Obama and Susan "The Sifter" used the power of govt to surveil friends and foe alike make it very probably they spied on the Democrats. Like some pimply-faced teen......Obama was dying to know what Democrats said behind his half-caste ***.

<><> Democrats Schiff and Feinstein were reportedly shocked at the spying revelations. ....probably b/c they were shown proof Obama spied on Democrats.

Trump knew Democrats would be sap-happy to see Republicans outed....no biggie to them. So it's more than likely S and F were shocked....b/c they saw evidence of Democrats spied upon.

Spying on Repubs is one thing....but Obama/Rice spying on their own party? The revelations could be earth-shaking....intel on Democrats' offshore financial activities, in Tahiti, French Polynesia, the Caribbean, Central America, and the like.

=================================================

<><> Obama probably surveilled Penguin Book editors to get the 60 million deal.

<><>Probably surveilled Harvey weinstein to get the job for Malia.

<><> Lois Lerner needed intel to target conservatives applying for tax-exempt status.

==============================================

"Susan the Sifter" gets her orders for the day.

"Susan, as you sift through the intel, get me something
damaging on Penguin books so I can shake them down for
a lucrative book deal."

"And get Harvey Einstein's tax returns. Malia needs a job."

"Oh, and Lois needs intel to target conservatives' tax-exempt status.
And don't forget the FBI file on Sharyl Atkisson."

Taxpayers are paying the tab for everything ......as usual.

Obama Gave Himself A MASSIVE Pay Raise… FOREVER!

The Congressional Research Service reports that for requests for both 2016 and 2017 fiscal years, Obama's proposed federal budget would expand funding through the Former Presidents Act. In 2017 alone, Obama wants nearly an 18% hike in expenditures… $588,000. That means $3.865,000 in appropriations will be available to spend on former Presidents! The 2016 proposed budget includes an additional $25,000 increase.

The Former Presidents Act, enacted in 1958, provides living former presidents with a pension, office staff and support, funds for travel, Secret Service protection, and mailing privileges. It also provides benefits for presidential spouses. Currently, former presidents are awarded a pension equal to the salary of cabinet secretaries, which totaled $203,700 for the 2015 calendar year and was boosted by $2,000 for the current calendar year.

Critics of the act argue that it financially supports former presidents who are not struggling. Many of them, alternatively, have gone on to profit from writing books about their time in the White House or delivering paid speaking engagements.

Former President Bill Clinton, for example, earned $132 million for delivering paid speeches between February 2001 and March 2015, according to an analysis from CNN. Clinton received $924,000 in taxpayer dollars last year by way of the Former Presidents Act.

Republicans in the House and Senate have introduced legislation that would cap annual pensions for former presidents at $200,000. Additionally, the bills would cut each pension by a dollar for every dollar the former president earns over $400,000 in the private sector in a given year. The measure was approved by the House in January with bipartisan support.

"It's pretty simple. You want a retirement and pension, it's there. But if you're going to go out and make enormous sums of money, then you don't need taxpayer subsidies," Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R., Utah), who introduced the bill in the House, told ABC News in an interview. "The former presidents are making gobs of money speaking and writing books, more power to them, but that doesn’t mean they need more taxpayer dollars on top of that," Chaffetz added. "It's embarrassing that they take that money."

Demand Congress curtail tax dollars to ex-presidents......especially those w/ foundations
(Obama has two foundations that we know of).

My grandpa got a copy of his FBI file and showed it to me. They do have names redacted though.

He served as a Mormon missionary in Berlin, Germany in 1939 and saw Hitler in a parade (and got his film taken away by the SS guard standing behind them). All the missionaries were recalled to the US 10 days before the war started.

During the war since he was so fluent he worked for the FBI (stateside) cracking German codes and looking for clues in letters seized from German officers and sent back to the states. His unit cracked a few codes during the war but he said mostly it was boring reading love letters from officers to their girlfriends or wives.

Anyway, he loved the German people (though hated Hitler) so someone in his FBI unit thought he was too “sympathetic” to the Germans (or it was just plain old office politics) and reported him to be internally investigated. He found out after the investigation was completed. The investigation said he was fine. He wasn’t able to get a copy until the 1960’s (or so?). Some law about declassification after a certain number of years. Of course the individual who reported his name was redacted but he thought he could guess who in the office it was.
