It would explain everything.
Despite all the left wing blather, not a shred of evidence has ever been produced to give credence to the accusation that Trump colluded with the Russians to defeat Hillary Clinton. (Clinton has written a new book- "I lost because of...." and you can fill in the blank) It was conceived to distract the country and the mentally vacant press from the real scandal.
I have long said that had there been anything to the Trump-Russia accusation it would have leaked by now, as the White House is a sieve. It's so bad that the number of times Donald Trump has taken a leak in a day is leaked within an hour. But if there was something, obama would have dropped the hammer before the election. He knew there wasn't.
He knew there wasn't anything because he was spying on Trump, his staff and a whole lot of Americans, and probably Mitt Romney and his staff as well. It is well known by now that Susan Rice routinely unmasked Americans caught up in NSA intercepts. She denies abuse but given her proclivity for mendacity it is a virtual certainty she did it for political reasons.
And for her boss.
The extent of this abuse is only now becoming known:
The National Security Agency and FBI violated specific civil liberty protections during the Obama administration by improperly searching and disseminating raw intelligence on Americans or failing to promptly delete unauthorized intercepts, according to newly declassified memos that provide some of the richest detail to date on the spy agencies’ ability to obey their own rules.The big fat clue popped up here:
There also were several instances in which Americans’ unmasked names were improperly shared inside the intelligence community without being redacted, a violation of the so-called minimization procedures that Obama loosened in 2011 that are supposed to protect Americans' identity from disclosure when they are intercepted without a warrant. Numerous times improperly unmasked information about Americans had to be recalled and purged after the fact, the memos stated.2011....2011.....oh yeah- the year before the Presidential election.
The newly declassified memos describe a number of obama-era violations:
- Numerous “overcollection incidents” in which the NSA gathered information about foreigners or Americans it wasn’t entitled to interceptDevin Nunes, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, weighed in on this yesterday. In a letter to DNI Dan Coats, Nunes wrote:-“Isolated instances in which NSA may not have complied with the documentation requests” justifying intercepts or searches of intercepted data.
- The misuse of “overly broad” queries or specific U.S. person terms to search through NSA data.
- Failures to timely purge NSA databases of improperly collected intelligence, such as a 2014 incident in which “NSA reported a gap in its purge discovery processes.”
“We have found evidence that current and former government officials had easy access to U.S. person information and that it is possible that they used this information to achieve partisan political purposes, including the selective, anonymous leaking of such information,” Nunes wrote in the letter to Coats. The letter was provided to The Hill from a source in the intelligence community.Someone wanted it to be very easy for digging up information on opponents:
But beginning in 2011, Obama loosened the rules to make it easier for intelligence officials and his own political aides to request that the names be unmasked so they could better understand raw intelligence being gathered overseas.And to better spy on the opposition. "Hundreds" of Americans were unmasked, often by those with absolutely no need to know:

But, but, but.....it’s allowed by the dementocrat handbook.
So Trump’s claim of Trump Tower and his Team being “wiretapped” is in essence accurate, and actually a rather tame assertion given these erupting disclosures. Facts can be a hard bitch.
I now am loving this. Now I am take all your wordsmithy for mine.
;^)
If Obama used government resources illegally for this, what else did he use government resources illegally for?
Once you take that first step into criminal behavior, the following steps get easier.
This is what I said a while ago. If he did it to Trump there’s no reason he would not also have done it to Romney. More reason, even, since his own arse was on the line.
Do you really want to know?
Serious question, because many, many people prefer ignorance to seeing the whole picture. The whole picture is too “batsh!t crazy” for most.
Bob; you go find a rope. Bill; you scout out the right tree.
I ASK ALL—read JAMES DAVID MANNING!!!!——go to UTUBE!!—best accuate vid by a BLACK MINISTER!!
To Democrats, the purpose of government is to serve the government
Corrupt, affirmative action thug from Chicago? Who coulda seen that coming?
Honestly, what constantly surprises me is that so many people didn't realize what a piece of sh*t Obama was right from the git-go.
I think that this was why he was meeting with Romney during the transition time, not for the SoS job.
Bttt.

And I hope Trump uses the FULL force of Government surveillance against any opponents in 2020.
Yep.
I foolishly defended Comey here. I didn’t want to believe the head of the FBI could be such a weasel. He was.
A person needs the truth to make an informed decision on who to vote for.
All this covering up (and I include some Republicans) doesn’t allow the average American to make an informed decision when voting. And that renders voting useless.
All these cover ups are destroying our freedom.
I am so weary of hearing about Dem. Party crimes for DECADES and never seeing justice. They are above the law and they get worse every year.
Sessions - make it stop!
