FBI scandal bigger than Watergate? -- Could be, and the dishonest press....
Fox News ^ | 5/21/2018 | Douglas MacKinnon

President Trump is correct.

If an FBI -- or any “Deep State” -- informant was embedded within his campaign for the express purpose of spying on it, that would be a scandal “Bigger than Watergate.”

Bigger and much more chilling.

Over the course of the last two years, I have communicated with current and former government employees who told me that a number of operatives at various three-letter agencies have been actively working to undermine first the presidential campaign of Donald J. Trump, and then his presidency. Most of them are Obama appointees. All of them doing so for political reasons.

To be clear, if there was evidence indicating that political or career appointees from the administration of President George W. Bush were actively and unethically working to damage the campaign of then Senator Barack Obama or the administration of President Obama, I would want them exposed and then prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

As someone said, Watergate is jaywalking compared to Obamagate.

It may be bigger than Watergate, but one thing distinguishes them apart: the media won’t cover it.

The red line is treason, and Demonicrats, especially the Swamp Rats, have swarmed way over it.

Barack Obama was never eligible to be President and BOTH parties knew it.
Not one of our elected or appointed stood up for the Constitution.
It is so much worse than most people think.

Yes and no ...

Big Leftist Media (CNN, WashPost, etc.) won't cover it, because they were active participants, and are still shills for the Democrats; but

the alternative media (Breitbart, Daily Caller, etc.) will cover it, because their hands are clean and they're not controlled by the Rats.

Here's the really scary part: the Establishment Media may be part of the scandal, too. This is the type of scandal that could end a lot of prominent bastions of journalism.

Obama blew by Watergate years ago.

Nixon only talked about using the IRS to go after his enemies. The IRS Commissioner resigned. obama’s IRS was leading the charge on political attacks.

Nixon had a small secret group of “plumbers” trying to gather secrets on the opposition campaign. Obama had the entire deep state, and 17 corrupted intelligence agencies listing to Trump and putting spies in his campaign.

Nixon hid tape recordings of himself, the DNC hid tens of thousands of emails of Hillary Clinton and everyone around her.

I always knew NY Times and WaPo were statist and left-leaning. Now we know they are literally the voices of America's deep state and DC's globalist Uni-Party. They are no different from Pravda or the People's Daily, and Americans should read them the same way.

I’m betting the press ‘flips’ before Trump’s seven years are up...

Sarah Carter, Sharyl Atkinson, Sean Hannity are far, far more professional Journalists than Woodward and Burnstein could dream of becoming.

It doesn’t matter one lick if they embedded a spy or not. The evidence of the entire operation to get Trump on fabricated, phony evidence; the methods used to falsely obtain that bogus evidence; the orchestration between the AG and heads of FBI and CIA. That alone should be enough to make them all swing.

The “spy” part is frosting on the cake.

Wow, I intuited that for decades. None of this is surprise to me. All you have to do is pay attention. You can learn more about what the NYT and the WaPo from what they don't publish than from what they do. If it is not important to them then it is not important to anyone.

“Where are the Woodward and Bernstein of this generation of journalists?”

Sarah Carter is doing journeyman work on this.

Using the IRS to stifle political opponents is also bigger than watergate.

It's now clear that Watergate was 5% crime and 95% politics, the MSM and the Democrats teaming up to take out a President they didn't like.

The proof was there back during Reagan and Clinton, but now there's no denying it.

If a George W. Bush had done to Hillary what Obama/Hillary did to PDJT, the uproar would have been sufficient to wake the dead and pull the moon out of its orbit.

Trump is the anvil we are forging a new republic upon. God bless him.
