Congresswoman Defends Government Surveillance of Trump [semi-satire]
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 2 Apr 2017 | John Semmens

This week's revelation by Democratic operative Evelyn Farkas that the Obama Administration had the Trump campaign under surveillance and shared the information gathered with the Hillary Clinton campaign sparked a spirited defense from long-time California Democratic Congresswoman Maxine Waters.

"Many small-minded people focus on the illegality of spying on American citizens for political gain as if that is more important than the fact that a traitor has become this nation's president," Waters said. "President Obama put in place an organization that contains a kind of database that no one has ever seen before in life. That's going to be very very powerful and that database will have information about everything on every individual on ways that it's never been done before."

While this colossal invasion of privacy would seem to dwarf the 1972 Watergate scandal in which a small contingent of GOP burglars invaded Democratic Party offices in Washington, DC in pursuit of political files they believed would aid the reelection of President Nixon, Waters contends that "by resigning Nixon essentially confessed to his crimes. In contrast, President Obama left after a scandal-free two full terms in office. No one in the media accused him of any crime. My only regret is that is that the effort he put into accumulating the database was not sufficient to prevent Trump and the Russians from rigging the election in his favor."

Ironically, thus far, the only solid evidence linking Russia to the 2016 election is the $35 million the Putin Government paid Hillary Campaign Chairman John Podesta in 2011 when he was an adviser to her while she was at the State Department. This is probably not the "Russia conspiracy" that Podesta had in mind when he criticized the media for "not playing it up enough during the campaign."

In related news, CBS dismissed allegations that the Clintons received any compensation for the sale of 20% of America's uranium output to Russia while Hillary was Secretary of State. Anchor Scott Pelley argued that a subsequent $500,000 payment to Bill for a Moscow speech, a $2.35 million donation to the Clinton Foundation by the Russian firm's chairman and $145 million in donations from nine other shareholders were "merely coincidental. No one has been able to produce any contractual documents showing an explicit exchange of State Department approval of the uranium transfer in return for monetary compensation."

CBS dismissed allegations that the Clintons received any compensation for the sale of 20% of America’s uranium output to Russia while Hillary was Secretary of State.

Anchor Scott Pelley removed his lips from Clinton’s *** for a few minutes to argue that a subsequent $500,000 payment to Bill for a Moscow speech, a $2.35 million donation to the Clinton Foundation by the Russian firm’s chairman and $145 million in donations from nine other shareholders were “merely coincidental.”

Pelley’s lips made a sucking sound but he managed to say: “No one has been able to produce any contractual documents showing an explicit exchange of State Department approval of the uranium transfer in return for monetary compensation.”

Scott Pelley is a moron. I’m sure that Clintoonie and the Russkis were dumb enough to complete the documents the boy is whining about. Clintoon may be crooked but she’s not dumb enough to want to go to prison. Pelley is in over his head. He needs to go get a fries guy job. One thing he could do is have his buddies in Obama’s “intelligence community” show us the documents proving that the Rooskis caused Clintoonie to get her ass kicked by the American voters in November.

Yep, solid circumstantial evidence is still evidence, but if someone like Pelley doesn’t want to believe something; they won’t no matter what evidence is produced.

It’s a common leftist trait.

I hear Maxine Waters made the Guiness Book of World Records this week. Yep; if you look up the dumbest female politician on the planet today there’s a picture of her with her name right under it.

Big Congrats Maxine!!

Traitor? Which is worse, Maxine, being a traitor or being a scumbag? ;-)
