Only days after the Democrats, along with their media allies at the Washington Post, tried to resurrect the specter of the Russian spy threat when they accused Attorney General Jeff Sessions of collusion and deceit, it is now the Democrats who find themselves on the receiving end of explosive accusations.
The Democrat opposition to Trump may have taken their attacks a step too far when they attempted to force the resignation of Attorney General Jeff Sessions last week, citing the fact he met with the Russian ambassador twice last year and claiming he failed to answer a question honestly when probed during his confirmation hearing. Their claim relied heavily on slanted interpretations of the question that was asked of Sessions, and quickly opened Pandora's Box as several prominent Democrat senators were caught lying about their own interactions with the Russian ambassador.
Early this morning starting at around 6:30am, President Trump sent out a flurry of Tweets making the explosive claim that former president Barack Obama had ordered wire taps of his phones at Trump Tower prior to the election. Trump lays into Obama calling him a "Bad (or sick) guy!"
No doubt these are serious claims that, if followed up on, could effectively dismantle Obama's organizing efforts against Trump. Last week it was revealed that Valeria Jarrett is moving in with Obama in order to coordinate an assault on Trump and his administration for the purpose of impeaching him or forcing his resignation, which in reality is pure sedition.
In fact, Obama isn't even trying to hide his efforts to organize an all out assault against Trump in the coming months. Former (and disgraced) attorney General Eric Holder told reporters last week that, “It’s coming. He’s coming. And he’s ready to roll”, in reference to Obama breaking into the public scene again to attack Trump.
Although evidence hasn't been released to back up Trump's claims, it's been suggested that he is basing some of his information on a report by conservative talkshow host Mark Levin, who on Friday suggested that Trump investigate Obama for his "silent coup" against his administration. One would imagine that, considering how early in the morning Trump's tweets were sent, there is substantial evidence leading him to make a claim of Obama spying on him.
In fact, Trump may have been privy to this information for some time, but held it back for such a time when it would be most effective to use as ammo to force Democrats to go on the defensive. That moment may have come after last week, when Democrats attempted to once again take out a high ranking member of the Trump administration, Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
Former President Obama’s spokesman Kevin Lewis was quick to come to Obama's defense, denying that he officially interfered in the election, but also led people to believe that the tapping of Trump's phones may have in fact taken place.
On Saturday, former President Obama’s spokesman Kevin Lewis denied that the former White House or the former President himself would have given such an order to wiretap Trump Tower—or any other type of surveillance in any case—but that such an order would have come from an “independent investigation led by the Department of Justice.”Such an order to tap Trump's communications may have be given, but Lewis claims that Obama had nothing to do with him. If the Department of Justice under Obama did spy on Trump, you can bet it was with Obama's blessing and knowledge.“A cardinal rule of the Obama Administration was that no White House official ever interfered with any independent investigation led by the Department of Justice,” Lewis said. “As part of that practice, neither President Obama nor any White House official ever ordered surveillance on any U.S. citizen. Any suggestion otherwise is simply false.”
Further giving credit to Trump's claims come from an article by The Guardian, which reported during the "Russian dossier" accusations that the FBI did indeed apply for a FISA warrant to perform surveillance against Trump and his campaign team after "suspected" contact with Russian officials.
The Guardian has learned that the FBI applied for a warrant from the foreign intelligence surveillance (Fisa) court over the summer in order to monitor four members of the Trump team suspected of irregular contacts with Russian officials. The Fisa court turned down the application asking FBI counter-intelligence investigators to narrow its focus. According to one report, the FBI was finally granted a warrant in October, but that has not been confirmed, and it is not clear whether any warrant led to a full investigation.So according to a report the FBI was eventually granted the warrant in October, around the exact time Trump alleges the Obama wire taps took place.
Yet more evidence emerges that the wiretaps of Trump's phones took place come from a tweet by former Obama advisor David Axelrod, who said such a wiretap would receive court approval “for a reason.”
It appears as if close Obama allies are aware that wiretaps on Trump took place, but are saying it was within legal boundaries. Of course, it's easy to use the law the attack your political opponents when you are president, as Obama was during this time, but it doesn't make it ethical or right. If wiretaps were done, then obviously nothing of significance was found against Trump, since you can bet the Democrats would have released it prior to the election.
With some careful digging on Trump's part, documents and evidence could indeed emerge that wire taps were granted on his communications at Trump Tower. It's not far fetched to believe Obama used what power he could to undermine Trump during the election, as literally all aspects of the establishment (media, press, Hollywood, tech moguls, politicians, etc...) led an all out assault in order to stop him, which clearly ended up being ineffective. Also, it wouldn't be the first time Obama used government agencies to attack his opponents, as the IRS was previously busted for targeting conservative groups with "extra scrutiny" during their applications for non-profit status.
Fox News reported on Trump's tweets this morning and claimed it's "causing everyone to think a lot more about what's going on", a reference to the alleged "shadow government" working to undermine President Trump's every move.
Regardless of outcome of Trump's wire tap claims, it is clear the gloves have come off and he is no longer willing to sit by and watch as Obama's allies or operatives in the government dismantle the president's administration.
Some supporters of Trump have long hoped for him to go on the offensive and take action against those who are openly colluded to overthrow him, but to the president's credit, he is at the same time trying to run a country along with undoing the damage done over the past decade.
I believe Trump is going on the offensive now, and he's no longer sitting by while Obama organizes to a silent coup to oust him.
The Democrats have BIT the fan.
Does trump himself not have iron clad proof? He MUST, or he would not have said what he said. Yes?
The one dem who has been attacking Attorney General Sessions based upon FBI transcripts as ‘proof’ IS the proof that bh0 ordered wire taps on President Trump while he was a candidate for president last year.
And what of Comey’s meeting with the senators on the intel cmte, who came out ‘ashen’ after the classified briefing?
And did WJC really meet on the tarmac to ask Lynch is the wiretap approved yet, we need a cover because we have private taps.
There is evidence out that the Obama administration went to the FISA court to get an order to wiretap Trump Towers. They were rejected the first time but succeeded the 2nd time. Apparently nothing was found but they continued to wire tap anyways. I think Trump has them by the short hairs on this one.
Chris Coons.
bkmk
In the case of Flynn we know for a absolute fact that a call was wiretappen and informater gathered was use for illegally political reasons. That is a a proven truth
>>>. Further giving credit to Trump’s claims come from an article by The Guardian, which reported during the “Russian dossier” accusations that the FBI did indeed. <<<<
Foreign papers to doing what ours won’t ?
Thank you for the name of “the Dem” — Chris Coons.
I don’t care if it was within “legal” boundaries. You can judge shop anything
I want rat heads to fall I want to see jail time
Unfortunatly, ex-President Obama cannot be prosecuted in an American court as he is not really an American and is an illegal immigrant (open his sealed records just like he did for his opponent in the election in Chicago), thus “protected” under one of his many lettered illegal units created by his illegal executive orders. And yes, his election as President was a fraud. Maybe, we can finally find out the truth!
The FBI needs to look into the Muslim Brothers Imran, Abid, and Jamal, Imram's wife Hina Alvi, and several others in the IT gang who surfaced recently.
The computer-savvy Muslim brothers (Imram here) seemed to be friendly w/ the Clintons.
It's very odd to see a lowly Capitol Hill staffer get that close to a bigshot Clinton.
Did the brothers share Democrats' Capitol Hill intel w/ the Clintons?
Did the Clintons need data coming into the DNC computers?
===================================
The Awan criminal Muslim gang collected $5 million tax dollars from congressional offices for IT services. Trickling in is compelling evidence that they overbilled the Democrats .......and also stole US govt property. The number of Democrats who employed these criminals could number as high as 80 Democrat members.
Did any Democrats file police reports?
<><> for stolen govt property?
<><> falsifying official govt documents?
<><> falsifying payment vouchers?
I didn't think so.
================================================
Let's just help out and report it for them (smirk)

Trump always turns out to be right when he gets ahead of issues.
Eeewwww, I think....
[The Fisa court turned down the application asking FBI counter-intelligence investigators to narrow its focus.]
The Fisa court just needed something to cover their A$$es so they just told them ‘narrow’ their focus but once they are in there probing they could, and probably did, exactly what 0 wanted.
He sounds mildly racis’.
