SPIED on Trump and EVERYONE around him......NAIL THEM!!

[Sacajaweau]

Neener,,,neener....To Mr. Wallace’s stupid question...Are they all legit?? I’d say the response was NOYGDB.

[a fool in paradise]

All of the requests?

Even the ones under double secret probation request from pseudonym accounts on non-government servers?

Comey lied. FIBbers lied. CIA CYA-ed.

I do not trust a one of them to release FULL information on the depth of their crimes.

Do they include Susan Rice's requests? I thought they were all being held in the future Bambi library. Isn't that what was reported?

From June: "Judicial Watch: Susan Rice 'Unmasking' Requests Sealed in Obama Library"

We certainly hope this latest White House “renovation” has removed the spying technology installed by Obama before he left. (Remember in December of last year the Oval Office was being “renovated” before Trump’s transition team could move in?) Hopefully, President Trump had his own people doing the job and they have done a good job before he comes back to D. C. today.

Wallace inquired if he was "satisfied that they are all legitimate?"

The fact that he felt compelled to ask this question pretty much answers it.

Hey, Mike why Obama’s and Brennan’s CIA spying/monitoring/surveiling Mr Trump and other Americans before he became president.

Wasn’t that a flagrant violation of the CIA’s original charter, not to spy on Americans in America?

Mike, at one time even the NY Times didn’t want the CIA spying on Americans!:

DON’T MAKE THE C.I.A. K.G.B.!!
By Harry Howe Ransom
Published: December 24, 1981

Excerpt:

As a member of a Presidential commission headed by Vice President Nelson A. Rockefeller, in 1975, Ronald Reagan signed its report, which deplored the alarming ‘’deviation’’ from its charter by accumulating secret dossiers on thousands of Americans. Operation CHAOS had severely damaged the agency’s legitimacy. The report cited the C.I.A.’s violation of its charter and urged future Presidents never to assign the agency to domestic spying.

That was sound advice, because it recognized that efficiency inheres in preserving a distinction between the C.I.A. and F.B.I. More important is the point that the C.I.A.’s founders unquestionably intended the agency to be restricted to foreign areas. They understood the dangers posed to the Bill of Rights by a nascent secret police.

To assign internal espionage to the C.I.A. makes it resemble the Soviet Union’s K.G.B., a police-state agency combining domestic and foreign spying. C.I.A. operations should be kept outside the country’s borders. Despite the intent of the C.I.A’s founders, its charter remains ambiguous. Congress must legislate a revised charter that clearly prevents any President from allowing the C.I.A. to spy on Americans at home.

We have provided information and responses to inquiries from multiple committees, Senate and House side. We will continue to do that to make sure they can perform their oversight functions properly,”

Congressional oversight committees. Where investigations go to die.

Why is the CIA involved in anything domestic?

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Pompeo would only say that the CIA had worked well with Congress...

That’s the problem. The GOP Congress is incompetent.
