How Investigating the Trump Campaign Backfired on Obama’s Embeds
american spectator ^ | George Neumayr

Posted on 03/14/2017 5:54:38 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

If you strike at a presidential candidate, you better defeat him.

Confirmations of the Obama administration’s investigation of the Trump campaign keep trickling out. Naturally, the media has shown no interest in them. It wants evidence of Trump-Russia collusion, not evidence that Obama’s embeds were sniffing around Trump’s computer server — an abuse of power no different than LBJ wiring Nixon’s campaign plane to see if he was colluding with the Vietnamese.

In light of these new confirmations, an honest media would have called James Clapper back to explain his elliptical denial. “The FBI investigated a Trump server in its Russia probe,” reports the online publication Circa News in a piece co-authored by John Solomon, the respected former Washington Post reporter and Washington Times editor. Can Clapper deny that the FBI investigated a Trump server? Can Comey? Can Lynch? Can Brennan? They have all fallen silent. Comey pathetically tried to confuse people by leaking out to friendly reporters that he wanted the controversy addressed by Justice Department officials. But what would he want them to deny? The investigation into Trump’s server that he had his officials conduct?

According to Circa News, the FBI “used traditional investigative techniques to review a computer server tied to the the [sic] soon-to-be-president’s businesses in Trump Towers in New York but located elsewhere.”

Traditional investigative techniques? That sounds even more ominous than the FBI just wiretapping individual members of Trump’s campaign. Using “traditional investigative techniques to review” Trump’s computer server could mean anything. Did agents talk to Trump’s employees? What did these employees say to them or show them? How do you use traditional investigative techniques to review Trump’s computer server without dislodging information about him? That is the abuse to which Trump, with his crafty intuition, was drawing attention with his tweets.

I continue to ask...
How did the Obamugabe Administration determine [find-out] that candidate Trump had a server that was communicating with Russian financial concerns?

I would hazard a guess that we will be dead a long time before we get that answer

Remember that “everyone” thought Hillary would win a landslide. The plan was for Obama to dig up dirt so the Clinton administration could destroy Trump, his business, family, and associates.

Torture is a traditional investigation technique, no?

The Congressional investigating committees will probably ask: “Did you physically wire tap Trump’s phone?” Answer: “No”.

Committee: “Trump lied”.

Clinton stated privately this month that she is quietly pushing for a Pence takeover. She stated that Pence is predictable hence defeatable. ~Julian Assange 3/14/2017

A long time ago I read that Trump never uses email, on the advise of his lawyers. (True? I don’t know.) If so, I’ll bet that frustrated the evildoers who were trying to gather dirt.

He’s stated so publicly himself, whether it was during a press conference or a rally I can’t recall, but remember thinking it was an odd thing to say. In hindsight it might’ve been preemptive in case anyone were to try to entrap him on the basis of a fake email? Just guessing but it did feel as if saying that was directed at something in particular.

It is my understanding that the server has nothing to do with Trump. The Obola scum used that as a ruse to get a FISA warrant. The server actually is in a Chinese bank, a tennant in Trump Tower. Please God, untangle this web for all to see.

And, if this is really about Russia then how were the converstaions between President Trump and the PM of Australia and between POTUS and the Mexican president obtained before being leaked to the media?

". . . so the Clinton administration could destroy Trump, his business, family, and associates."

I agree. I think they were so convinced of their victory that they shifted gears to making an example of Trump so no other wealthy businessman, or group of businessmen, who doesn't agree with the Globalist Cabal would dare to stand against them in the future.

It also explains the approach the Romney Mormon Mafia used when going after Trump so Cruz, who can be swayed by his Globalist oriented wife, would be the candidate. Romney is as anxious to see Trump ruined as Bill and Hillary or any other criminal democrat is.

Maybe there’s another deep throat? ‘Follow the money.’ Or some bs just like that.

You can be sure that Sessions has his eye on McCabe and his cronies.

Please God, untangle this web for all to see: It is my understanding that the server has nothing to do with Trump. The Obola scum used that as a ruse to get a FISA warrant. The server actually is in a Chinese bank, a tennant in Trump Tower.

The unravelling starts here. The Obama wire-tapping gang WILL have to face the music.

(JIM0216 hat tip)......the issue isn't whether Trump was wiretapped (Obama admitted such and apparently, there was a FISA warrant issued for the wiretapping). The issue is whether there was probable cause to issue a warrant. Probable cause is defined as the reasonable likelihood that a crime is or has been committed by the person or at the place designated........

===============================================

(REAGANGENERATION2 HAT TIP)---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) the intent was to abuse executive power.

===========================================

A good beginning....and then it gets downright lethal for the Obama gang:

Via Breitbart, JOHN HAYWARD observed that the FISA court may have approved a warrant submitted without Trump’s name but “which Obama then misused to spy on Trump and many connected to Trump.”

Ergo the most serious legal jeopardy that might be faced would be (a) perjury for lying to the FISA court, and, (b) the dissemination of collected intelligence that should have been kept tightly classified.

===========================================

It is also entirely possible that Obama and his legal team may have perjured themselves before the FISA court by willfully withholding material information in order to manipulate the FISA court’s willingness to permit the government surveillance.

FALSIFYING GOVT DOCUMENTS would fall under the Crimes Act of 1958. Moreover, falsifying official documents is the criminal MO to hide larger crimes.

EXCERPT A person falsifying documents can be held criminally liable if they are deliberately acting with the intention of deceiving or defrauding another party.

Falsifying documents is a very serious offense and is generally classified as a felony. This means that a person charged with falsifying documents may be subject to the following legal penalties:
◾Having to pay a monetary fine
◾Incarceration in a prison facility

Depending on the gravity of the offense, as well as individual state laws, falsifying documents can result in a prison sentence of 5-10 years.

And if official government documents or govt authorities were involved, the legal penalties may be more severe. Legal penalties may increase with repeat offenses.

Many different types of acts can be considered as falsifying a document, including:
◾Altering or misrepresenting fact-based information
◾Stating false information when requested to provide truthful statements
◾Forging a signature
◾Using official letterheads without authorization
◾Knowingly using or distributing a fake document

The penalty for falsifying government documents is outlined in the Crimes Act of 1958. (excerpt)
