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.

they will use any weasel words to avoid the fact that they were “ spying” on him and his team.

Napolitano last night indicated it may have even been by the Brits, then filtered through another country to give Barry O “ plausible denial”

We understand “ The Donald” speak. When he says Obama, it means any and all
not just him......

The MSM will do anything to avoid that “ street” decode....

We are tired of lawyers “ weasel wording” everything to justify their means...

Like drunks, children, the mentally challenged, and in all things, Liberals are incapable of thinking past the immediate, personal and concrete.

It’s one of the MANY reasons they do not belong in the WH

Seems to me the evidence should be easy enough to produce. What is taking so long?

No lawyer uses email or computers other than jurisdiction issued software for filings with the courts. Knowing such gives us a lessons best learned glimpse.

Was it a business server conducting transactions or just a family server dealing with email, messaging and photos?

I know on my computer I hit Russia, China, S. Korea, Taiwan all the time playing games and looking at alibaba and aliexpress.

The specifics are kept very vague so that we can’t figure out what really is to be investigated.

I like the constant comparisons between Watergate and Obamagate, and Nixon and 0bama. If nothing else, it drives the Left crazy and throws them off their game.

By now, the "media" should be real gun-shy about reporting any new "revelations" for fear of whatever they "find" being used against 0bama instead of Trump. 3D chess!

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

Committee: “Trump lied”.

Well, that's the exact scenario the New York Times and CNN are going with, regardless. :)

I propose to all of you a single name: John McCain

He sits (chairs?) on the Senate Intelligence Committee, is briefed with every intelligence report that goes to POTUS and, from that position, can agree with certain surveillance of both foreign and national persons “in the guise of national security”.

Why is he (McCain) so silent in the face of Trump’s evidence regarding surveillance of a US citizen?

Possibly because he was in on the handover?

Inquisitively, are you implying that McCain “helped” Trump regarding the wiretapping evidence?

That opens a bevy of questions.

>> Judge Napolitano says that British Intelligence provided Obama admin with surveillance data on Trump Tower phone conversations <<

British intelligence...
Our original enemy, England.

No, I’m wondering if McCain and/or Tim Kaine was/were/are conduit/s between the uniparty in GB and/or the EU and the Obama admin.

I consider McCain, in particular, an Obama enbed.

McCain is the festering boil that DJT must excise and drain.

The only way to really do that would be to get enough of a Senate majority that McCain’s leverage is eviscerated. Which could happen in the ’18 election . . .

All it would take would be for the Republicans to win half of the Democrat-held Senate seats up for election in states Trump won.

I submit a new nomenclature for the Obama Shadow Government Spooks:

the ObamOrangutangs...

They are one banana short of a load, always:
