JW Seeks Docs on Obama White House Spying Scandal

With the news this week of the unprecedented spying on Americans by the National Security Agency under President Obama’s direction, it has become even more critical that we get to the truth about any Obama administration surveillance of Donald Trump and his campaign and the subsequent illegal leaking of classified information in an effort to undermine the Trump administration.

We filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice and the National Security Agency (NSA) for information about Obama National Security Advisor Susan Rice’s communications with the two agencies concerning the alleged Russian involvement in the 2016 presidential election, the hacking of DNC computers, the suspected communications between Russia and Trump campaign/transition officials, and the unmasking of the identities of any U.S. citizens associated with the Trump presidential campaign or transition team who were identified pursuant to intelligence collection activities ( Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice and National Security Administration (No. 1:17-cv-01002))

You can see our FOIA request forms the basis for the new lawsuit and is comprehensive:

  1. Any and all requests for information, analyses, summaries, assessments, transcripts, or similar records submitted to the Department of Justice (National Security Agency) or any official, employee, or representative thereof by former National Security Advisor Susan Rice regarding, concerning, or related to the following:
  1. Any and all records created and/or produced in response to any request described in part 1 of this request; and
  1. Any and all records of communication between any official, employee, or representative of the Department of Justice (National Security Agency) and any member, employee, staff member, or representative of the National Security Council regarding, concerning, or related to any request described in Part 1 of this request.

The time frame for this request is January 1, 2016, to the present.

This is the fifth Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit (see here , here , here and here ) related to the surveillance, unmasking, and illegal leaking targeting President Trump and his associates. I am confident our investigation is more comprehensive than anything out of Congress, or from the new “special counsel” (see below) in the Justice Department.

We want to know about the Obama White House involvement in the unprecedented spying on Donald Trump and other political opponents. This intelligence operation may have led to the illegal “unmasking” of Americans and the leaking of intelligence information to foment the story of Russian hacking of the DNC and the allegedly sinister Russian influence on Trump and his associates. The Trump administration has an opportunity to expose what the Obama White House was up to – let’s hope it follows the law and starts turning records over to JW quickly in response to our outstanding FOIA requests.

One of the biggest scandals in the history of our Republic. Very serious stuff. I hope the new FBI Director and Jeff Sessions thoroughly investigate this.

FROM ONE OF THE MANY EXPOSES---Seeking to retain his position as CIA director under Hillary, Brennan used phony foreign intel as a pretext for a multi-agency investigation into Trump.....that led the FBI to probe a computer server connected to Trump Tower and gave cover to Susan Rice's sifting operations....

Not only Brennan.... "Susan The Sifter" had a dog in this hunt......Hillary tapped her for Secy of State. One could conclude Comey also had his reasons .....to stay on as FBI director.

Mighty powerful incentives for anti-Trump shenanigans.

.......apparently there are records proving that Obama's CIA director, John Brennan, oversaw repeated spying on the phone calls of President Donald Trump and millions of other private American citizens. An audiotape just released by Federal Judge G. Murray Snow is part of a civil case........

Thankfully, Susan's so stupid, her public explanations of her intel activities set her up for a precipitous fall.

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

Taxpayers demand Rice answer questions....and they want answers now. Questions for Rice:

1. When did you request the unmasking, and from which agency?

2. Who in that agency actually did the unmasking? Please provide the written requests you submitted.

3. Once the names were unmasked, did you still believe there was a threat to national security from the named US persons?

4. If so, with whom did you share the information, and what actions were taken to protect America and American citizens?

5. If you did not, then you should not have shared the names with anyone else, so how did the names become known?

6. Why was any of the info detailed here deliberately withheld on the FISA application? (it's a felony to willfully withhold information when applying for a FISA).

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

(HAT TIP OMEGATOO)

<><> If the information found in the ‘incidental’ involvement of any US Person was threatening US Security, and America citizens' safety, why did US security agencies wait for Rice’s request to unmask?

<><> Did Obama issue a secret stand down order?

<><> Why did Rice on PBS initially deny responsibility for the unmasking?

<><> Why was this threat not unveiled at the time or since? Why now?

Alarmingly, the supposed ‘threat’ identified by Rice was about to be inaugurated as President of the US. Shouldn’t Congress have been notified? Why did Rice keep it a secret? Maybe she planned to collude w/ the Clintons to sell the intel to a foreign country?

The NSA didn’t unmask the information initially, plus later investigations found NO collusion between Russia and Trump. Seems to be proof-positive that whatever suspicions Obama/Rice/Brennan may have had to justify the unmasking were absolutely wrong, or more likely non-existent.

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

Capitol Switchboard 1-866-220-0044

Contact your Representative and Senators---demand these questions blanket the media---and demand Susan Rice answer them.

I hope the new FBI director personally asks Susan Rice the questions you mentioned.

This has to be investigated, said persons tried and convicted. Our Constitutional Republic will not stand if this is not adjudicated. It will forever be repeated until we live in a severe totalitarian state.

Variants of the questions:

These Are the Questions Susan Rice Needs to Answer

Bolton Says Questions About Rice’s Role In Surveillance Must Start With Obama

New questions about Susan Rice's motive to unmask names

The 10 Questions Andrea Mitchell Didn’t Ask Susan Rice

The enormity of the Obama Spying Scandal has to be fully explored. I hope the FBI and Jeff Sessions' Justice Department give maximum resources to delineate this treasonous behavior.
