A SHOE DROPS: OBAMA ADMINISTRATION SPIED ON CARTER PAGE [UPDATED]
powerline ^ | 04/11/17 | John Hinderaker

I assume this Washington Post story is true: “FBI obtained FISA warrant to monitor former Trump adviser Carter Page.” It confirms what has been sporadically reported since late last year, that the Obama administration sought and ultimately received a FISA order to spy on at least one associate of Donald Trump. So Trump’s famous tweets were, in substance, true.

***SNIP***

UPDATE: We are now starting to get a picture of how sinister this whole Democratic Party misinformation campaign is. Through the last half of 2016, the Obama administration was desperately searching for evidence of some link between the Trump presidential campaign and Russia. They went to the length of seeking (twice, reportedly) and finally obtaining a FISA order that allowed them to spy on at least one insignificant Trump associate.

In addition, we now know that Susan Rice headed up an operation whereby raw NSA intelligence was sifted for names of Trump associates, no doubt in hopes of uncovering dirt of some sort.* And we also know that these efforts came up dry. The Obama administration found no compromising information about Trump or any of his associates.

Nevertheless, ever since the Inauguration the Democratic Party, especially its press wing in Washington and New York, has relentlessly pushed the Trump/Russia story. What story? There isn’t one. But that hasn’t stopped Democrats in the press from talking about little else for the last three months.

And yet, all along, the Democrats have known that their spying produced nothing. This whole story is almost unbelievably sordid. The relevant Congressional committees should investigate thoroughly, and criminal prosecutions should follow where laws have been broken.

It is time to get to the bottom of the Obama spy scandal.

I can’t wait until this scandal is blown wide open.

I am still waiting to see how bad the Clintons trashed the Whitehouse when they left. Not to mention all the stuff Hillary stole.

Right, he was the goldilocks choice. Lowly enough not to raise flags but with connections to key players. Sneaky bastards, these Democrats.

Heard that, too. Wonder why they ever latched on to him in the first place.

Trump also needs to “stick to his guns” and remember the ones who got him into office like Bannon.

They claimed he was an agent of a foreign power to get that warrant.

In 2013, the United States Department of Justice, under Attorney General Eric Holder, came ... In obtaining the warrants, they labeled Rosen a "criminal co-conspirator"

They actually got an OK to "tap" his and his parents phones. So they use big words like "agent of a foreign power" and "criminal co-conspirator" to get the judge to do their bidding.

They would’ve dropped that as the reason first, heck, they would’ve used it as a club way back when it could alter the election. The arrogant sob’s are scrambling for cover now
