Yes, There Could Be Serious Legal Problems if Obama Admin Involved in Illegal Surveillance
LawNewz ^ | 2-4-17 | Robert Barnes

Posted on 03/04/2017 5:55:19 PM PST by bigbob

President Trump recently tweeted claiming that former President Obama wiretapped him during his campaign. One can only imagine how nuts the media would have gone if the roles had been reversed: President Trump wiretapping either Obama or the Clintons, though his DOJ could have authority to do just that given the expansive leaks of intelligence information by Obama and Clinton supporters the last few months. Heck, he could wiretap the media at this point, legally and legitimately, as the sources of these unlawful leaks, for which Obama himself set precedent. Do liberals understand what Pandora’s Box Obama opened up by Obama using the powers of the NSA, CIA and FBI to spy on his political opponents? Even Nixon never did that.

If the stories are correct, Obama or his officials might even face prosecution. But, we are still early in all of this and there are a lot of rumors flying around so the key is if the stories are correct. We just don’t know at this time.

I may have missed it, but where did Flynn make his calls to the Russians from? Was it from a phone in Trump Tower? Is that where he was recorded? Anyone know?

Let me add that I assumed the Russian line was tapped, but maybe it was the one Flynn was using.

If material facts were left out feloniously to obtain a court order what effect does that have on the validity and enforceability of said court order?

Well the tap might still be on. A wiretap would certainly explain the knowledge of the contents of Trumps call to the Australian PM!

Secret court is about to be outed in this scandal. Most people never even heard of it until this scandal.

They tried several times through different courts to get this wiretap. Finally took out trumps name according to reports..and got it

They can run but they can’t hide. The final Trump is coming for them and he’s bringing hell with him.

Dan abrams site has a good breakdown of all of this

Somebody is going down for it...but it won’t be obama. But we all know he was behind it

Not sure were the Flynn call was made

It my understanding or the story was. The NSA is allow to listen in to foreign calls

But if an American should get on that foreign call they're supposed to not listen to the American. Go figure how they do that

But any way the NSA was legally listening to foreign calls and got Flynn on a call...

But they didn't stop listening to Flynn so that part's of what the NSA did is illegal/gray area

And in what the NSA did hear. Flynn did nothing illegal

But it did not jibe hundred percent with Flynn recall of the conversation with Pence. And what Pence then had told the press

So then someone in the intelligence community illegally leaked contents of Flynn call to politically undercut Flynn with Pence because Pence had repeated Flynn original story to the press..(never let the Boss look bad, leave egg on his face)

There will be more Obama highways in the country than MLK highways.

Wait for the grandiose Obama mosque that will be erected in WDC.

They would still have needed to win back the House and Senate for Broom Hilda in 2018. Thus, it would have been a continuation of the Rats’ Alinsky-inspired permanent campaign.

Exactly what I’ve been wondering all day. WHO ordered the second fisa request? The first one requested was in June, it was denied. They (who?)came back in October with a second request.

Who was it?

This is why we can't have nice things.

You create a power like this, and it becomes available to wannabe banana republic dictators like Obie.

That’s why nobody could find the warrant until now. They claimed they searched and searched on Trump and nothing ever came up.

Maybe that’s what Bubba’s meeting with Lynch was about: Take Trump’s name off the warrant request, it’s sending up flags that nobody on FISA wants to do time for.

Maybe this is why Valerie moved into Obamas estate. They knew this was coming and Valerie needs to be around when Barry starts throwing temper tantrums.

If obozo thought he might get caught he would have had Trump build a golf course at Gitmo for him.

Of course he did try to close it.
