Leftist spin here and there last night and this morning is the resurrection of the same laughable nit-picking / wordsmithing / sophistry / strawmanning we saw after Trump’s tweet: eavesdropping these days is not via “tapping” “wires” with physical devices on individual lines therefore “wires tapped” is false; “my wires” means Trump’s personal office line not Trump Tower (where Manafort had a residence) therefore false, and Obama himself did not install the wiretaps therefore false. Busted, busted, busted.
BACKSTORY Through the last half of 2016, the Ob ama administration was desperately searching for evidence of some link between the Trump presidential campaign and Russia.
<><> They went to great lengths, falsifying requests, twice seeking, then finally obtaining, a court-ordered FISA, that allowed them to spy on at least one Trump associate.
<><> In addition, we now know that Susan "The Sifter" Rice had an operation wherein raw NSA intelligence was sifted through for names of Trump associates, in hopes of uncovering dirt of some sort.*
<><> These efforts came up dry. The Obama administration found no compromising information about Trump or any of his associates.
=========================================
Not surprisingly, ever since the Trump Inauguration, the Democratic Party, especially its NY/DC press wing, has relentlessly pushed the Trump/Russia story. But that hasn’t stopped Democrat factotums in the press from talking about little else for the last three months.
This is the kicker----- all along, the Democrats have known that their spying produced nothing.
This whole Obama/Rice/Comey/Mueller/Democrat spy apparat is almost unbelievably sordid. The relevant Congressional committees should investigate thoroughly, and criminal prosecutions should follow where laws have been broken.
=============================================
It's high time the Obama Police State and its spying apparat be investigated.
