Obama’s Wiretaps?
Frontpage ^ | March 6, 2017 | Matthew Vadum

Posted on 03/06/2017 7:38:28 AM PST by detective

President Donald Trump caused a media firestorm by claiming over the weekend that then-President Obama wire-tapped telephones at Trump Tower in Manhattan during the final leg of last year's election campaign.

Seeing the writing on the wall, tainted FBI Director James Comey promptly and publicly urged the Department of Justice to reject Trump’s claims. Although it is an attempt at a cover-up, it is an admirably transparent one.

Now the outlines of a Watergate-like conspiracy are emerging in which a sitting Democrat president apparently used the apparatus of the state to spy on a Republican presidential candidate. Watergate differed in that President Nixon didn’t get involved in the plot against the Democratic National Committee until later as an accomplice after the fact. Here Obama likely masterminded, or oversaw someone like the diabolical Benghazi cover-up artist Ben Rhodes, masterminding the whole thing.

Trump should be able to review all 2 or 3 FISA requests (if he hasn’t already), and then let Congress determine if the requesters lied about the probable cause justifying them......then (1) you’d prove perjury, and, even worse, (2) b/c the intent was to abuse executive power.

Not only that, but according to Judge Napolitano, Obama didn't even need a warrant. Remember, a warrant is used when you are planning to bring a case to court to prosecute. That was never Obamas intention. His was to just spy on the campaign. Napolitano says the NSA has all the taps. Since the NSA isn't under the courts or the DOJ - but the military- all Obama had to do was say he wanted the intercepts for such and such a date for Trump Tower and he would have them in 5 minutes. Trump should get the logs of requests from the NSA. Video:

No Warrant Needed If Obama Wiretapped Trump

I’ll enjoy it more when the foreplay is over and the indictments start rolling out. 8>)

Yep, surveillance they were doing on Hillary’s behalf.I wonder when the dots leading to her and how she could have benefited from this will be connected?

“Enough of this “slowly” bullsh!t. Americans want answers and action NOW.”

Tell that to your elected representatives.

Demand that they take action.

I wonder if Comey did that because he knows DOJ can’t truthfully deny it. Maybe this is the way Comey “delt himself in”.

That was my thought too, maybe wishful thinking, but I was wondering the same thing. It would explain why he's still around, in that this is part of the exposure plan.

As I said on another thread, I see Rudy’s hand in this. His company does cyber security and I’d bet he uncovered these wire taps. Rudy has been AWOL lately. Are they waiting and he’ll be unleashed? Just a thought.

I think back to the bare-*ssed lies after Benghazi. Susan Rice was sent out to affirm the story that the situation was caused by an anti-Muslim video. At that point, it became obvious that the Obama administration would say and do anything to promote their agenda, and ignore any push back.

My point? There's no doubt the Trump campaign was spied on, and the pretense of a reason for it was Russia connections. How sick is it that the Obama administration is guilty of what they're accusing the Russians of?

Is hillary guilty if she accepted illegally acquired or confidential information? Is Loretta Lynch going to end up taking the fall?

It's frightening. We knew it was bad how much we've lost control of our government. I wonder if President Trump would've done this if he knew how out-of-control it is.

Susan Rice....uuuggggh....I’m physically ill seeing the name of that lying moron.

Both the Clintons and Obama damaged the Rule of Law that sets the US apart from other countries.

I think back to Obobo’s first campaign.....after he was safely elected his PR person Anita Dunn said they only let the media know what THEY wanted them to know about obobo.

They answered no media questions.
