Former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino believes the Trump Tower wiretapping scandal, known as Obamagate by many on social media, is going to blow wide open this week.
The best-selling author, added that he plans on sharing information on the Obama administration this week with the public.
Bongino worked for the administrations of former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama in the Presidential Protection Division.
He was a frequent presence on cable news shows throughout the 2016 presidential election season and had an explosive confrontation with CNNs Don Lemon in defense of Trump.
It was so fiery that President Trump congratulated him for it.
In a Facebook Live video after the tweets, Bongino said the media wants to push the story that Trump might have pressured the FBI to tell him about the wiretap or that the president is lying.
But he explained that Trumps Secret Service protection probably did electronic countermeasure sweeps to check for listening devices and found the bugs.
The media is too busy looking to find a way to make the story about President Trump doing something incorrect to realize that this is the most likely scenario, according to Bongino.
And he believes America is going to find out this week.
Towergate? Obamagate? Barackgate?
All you have to do is obtain the cell phone number of a targeted individual, then its very possible for a technically sophisticated hacker to listen into anything being done on that phone. Remember the San Benardino terrorists and the unwillingness of Apple to unlock the encryption. As it turned out an Israeli company had already developed the software to open the encrypted I phone and the data was revealed without Apple’s cooperation. Suspect NSA has even better technology as do special units within the Federal government.
I think the difference between “bugged” and “wiretapped” is a lot finer than the way that the election was “hacked” has been used since November. I can live with the former being blurred, because essentially the conclusion is the same, however, Hacking the DNC servers is NOT the same as Hacking an election. Hacking an election infers that voting machines were tampered with, which nobody is claiming. I would really love for DJT to come out and say this “hacked election” stuff is bull excrement ... it was the DNC servers that were hacked, and that nobody is claiming that what was released is false. Just because the Dems got caught with their pants down does not mean that it was not a good election. The fact DJT won, in spite of the Obama bug/wire-tap/whatever is testament to just how above board this election actually was.
Eunuchgate
NYT had it as a page one article on January 20
They can h and haw all they want. Fact is they already said so
Yeah and then they go missing!
"Clapper is a proven liar. This is the guy that told Congress the NSA was not collecting information of any sort on millions of Americans (later determined that they were)."
Shot of Crown every time someone says ‘skeptical’ in this post.
cuckold gate? barry’s bath house gate?
I’m skeptical that you’ll get drunk
There is technology that is able to detect if your telephone is being “tapped”. It would be part of a sweep regimen that any high tech security outfit would perform (such as the Secret Service).
However, the more sophisticated form of “tapping” can be very hard to detect as a “side channel” in the telephone switch (central office matrix) may be electronically paralleled. This would not cause a detectable drop in the line voltage.
In the Trump Tower, they likely would have an internal telephone switch matrix system (PBX). Not sure how to detect a “tap” at the Telephone Central office with a PBX in between.
Maybe some guru could provide insight here...
Perhaps they helped uncover the surveillance.
Rudy was up for BIG things then Attorney General Secretary of State then didnt get them.
But it was the same time Russian allegations blowing up. Rudy was made head of Trump new cyber security or at least that's what we're told
What odd that in all these leaks. Rudy's been completely off the radar very quiet
The speculation is he might be running a secret investigation for Trump on all this...that's why I didn't get the big appointments this was a special mission ..
Rudy would be the ideal choice, someone that has the credibility that knows all the players this is all going on the New York...Someone Trump can implicitly trust and has the public credibility to boot ....The fact that Rudy's been completely off the radar with all this going on raises that suspicion
Showing Obama as Nixon does a great disservice to Nixon.
Bongino is on Hannity this afternoon. (wish I paid more attention to Snowden.)
If what he’s saying is true, Bammy will the be first president to make his legacy AFTER his term. History ain’t gonna be kind.
“Oh well then, if Obamas CIA and FBI bugged the Tower then we will just ignore it, since we are now being herded to think wire tapped “
LOL! I guess I will have to stop listening to Trump for fear I will be herded in the wrong direction ...
Trump is not a geek, so I don’t expect correct jargon. The fact remains, his campaign was put under surveillance in hopes of distracting from Clinton’s destruction. The Russian propaganda was worked simultaneously to give a veneer of legality.
Anyone remember the strange coincidence of Hillary expounding on American arms trafficking in Mexico weeks before Fast and Furious blew up? It’s always the same MO: Commit the crime, spread rumors, and blame your opponents when you get caught.
Though the press is complicit, I think Trump is going to bring the house of cards down or die trying. I think we all need to get serious about our prayers for his safety. This is far beyond a political battle.
Funny how that happens...................a lot...................in DC....................when Dems are in trouble.................
I think it is going to be known as Obushima, just like the smoldering mess in Japan only bigger!
Yeah, I hope so. But this feels too much like the “secret” Michelle Obama tapes, the “birth certificate” controversy (which I never really bought into), the “Rhashid Khalidi” video, lots (not all) of the James O’Keefe “bombshells”, etc. etc. etc.
Don’t get me wrong. Team Hussein is as crooked as a stick.
Most corrupt administration in history. Haters of the Constitution, ones who despise free market capitalism and enemies of true Christianity.
Team Hussein also has been able to hide its wickedness...buddies in the media, and the Democrat party (but I repeat myself)....and GOP-e sycophants.
So whether something ever gets revealed, and/or gets the populace to WAKE UP, is something I doubt....
