A Thanos-Level Event

For months pundits and researchers have been pondering the mystery of the FISA approval that led to the illegal and historically titanic scandals to ever hit the U.S. government. Some have argued that Assistant Attorney General Rod Rosenstein knew the FISA was bogus when he extended it. Others have wondered if Special Counsel Robert Mueller knew about the fraudulent basis of the FISA when he used it, in part, to indict Michael Flynn. Other still, that Mueller was fooled by the FBI.

This is what President Trump calls “SPYGATE”.

It may well be that the surveillance that was conducted began with UK intelligence
services and then was fed back to the White House of Barack Obama. Here’s the kicker:
President Barack Obama did not need a FISA warrant to authorize spying/electronic surveillance on Trump because Obama all along had legal authorization to by-pass the normal court vetting process. According to 50 U.S. Code 1802, the “Electronic Surveillance Authorization” () “Foreign intelligence in relation to a US person (Trump or his associates) is information that’s necessary for the US to protect against attack, hostile acts, sabotage, . . . as well as other clandestine activities by a foreign power . . . OR . . . information relevant to national defense/security of the US, or the conduct of foreign affairs of the U.S.” Such an authorization by Obama required certification by Attorney General Loretta Lynch that must be logged with the FISC court. (“The [AG]+ shall immediately transmit under seal to the court [FISC] a copy of his certification.”)

Latest: Romney Finally Admits: Did He Vote For Trump?

In short, the DOJ has this. If we are correct, a copy of that certification is currently under
seal at least with the DOJ and the FISC.

This is what they are hiding.

However, the Act requires the AG to keep the Select Committee on Intelligence and the
Senate Committee on Intelligence informed of these authorizations and unmaskings therein. See 1803 (a) (1) (C) If indeed this is what happened, did Lynch report—or only selectively report—to the committees in a way that excluded non-friendlies? Can you see why Adam Schiff, Mark Warner, and their ilk are terrified?

1) Obama authorized spying/electronic surveillance on Team Trump, by-passing normal
judicial oversight.
2) To create “foreign intelligence,” John Brennan and others organized for UK
intelligence to conduct surveillance on Trump and his associates, either from the UK or from UK assets within the U.S. This is another reason revealing this will unleash an excrement storm: the UK is about to be caught meddling bigly in an American election.
3) Lynch certified Obama’s authorization which is now held under seal by DOJ (and
FISC).

From this authorization, all unmaking followed, as well as the FBI fraudulent counter
intel investigation and perhaps the FISA warrant too. Obama knew this was all fake when he made the authorization; Lynch knew it was fake when she certified it; the entire inner circle, including the FBI, all knew. This takes the U.S. into uncharted territory, and could imperil any politician in the British government who supported this or had knowledge of it. Proving any of this would be difficult, as if confronted Lynch would almost certainly cover up and Obama would simply deny knowledge. Without a paper trail, a conviction might be a bridge to far.

Sara Carter reported that concealed FISA documents hold the key—not because they were
the origin of SPYGATE but because each new application had to include earlier supporting
intelligence, i.e., Obama’s authorization. And the director of the British surveillance agency,
GCHQ, Robert Hannigan, quit three days after Trump’s inauguration for “personal” and “health” reasons.

Now the seeming stonewalling of DOJ, Jeff Sessions, and Rod Rosenstein make sense.
Now it is clear why President Trump has not just himself declassified these materials. This is a TLE.

A Thanos Level Event.

It suggests Sessions and others are wrestling with a massively disruptive chain of revelations that will approximate those of 1861, namely what do you do with a criminal ex-president? Larry Schweikart has discussed elsewhere how no impeachment of a former public official is necessary to indict, arrest, and/or punish such a person. Former Vice President Aaron Burr was arrested and charged with treason by President Thomas Jefferson in 1807 (he was acquitted for lack of evidence). Of course, more recently, former Vice President Spiro Agnew was not impeached before pleading no contest to a felony charge of tax evasion and sentenced to three years probation.

Such a Thanos Level Event might also explain Robert Mueller’s odd and inexplicable
behavior of running hither and yon, achieving virtually nothing. If he knew as well, he is
probably just as baffled as the DOJ as to how to proceed in a job that implicates the former
president in everything Mueller touches. The implications are staggering. One side will rightly demand justice be done, no matter who the culprit. Another side will insist that such a prosecution would “tear the country apart” and do irreparable harm to race relations. Both sides are right, but if we are correct and Barack Obama is not just the end-game point of approval, but the jumping off platform for the entire scandal?

Thanos wouldn’t even recognize the rubble when all of this is over.

But..but Ben Rhodes says in his new book that Obammy knew NOTHING of the FBI spies sent to get the goods on Trump before and after his election. The NYT says it’s the truth!

[taildragger]

Bawwaaahhhh! Man, Rhodes thinks he might have actually been in this loop? Too funny...

[Alberta's Child]

"It suggests Sessions and others are wrestling with a massively disruptive chain of revelations that will approximate those of 1861, namely what do you do with a criminal ex-president?"

This might be the most plausible explanation I've seen for what has been going on in Washington since early 2017.

[ClearCase_guy]

I think this is spot on.

But I think the Trump Administration is going to find a way to get the truth out to people. It’s a long, slow process but Obama and Hillary will pay the price for their crimes.

[blackdog]

If the goal is to protect Obama from his real legacy instead of what we are being told by newsrooms stacked with installed ex Obama intelligence officials, why launch the whole Mueller probe at all and risk discovery?

No, the real goal is a continuous destroying assault on Trump, executed with the help of Intel agency run media.

No.

[logi_cal869]

Trump can be ignorant if he wants to be, but we need to stop calling this “spygate.”

It is FAR more serious than the silly name implies.

[blackdog]

Given the Rhodes ABC/Obama Whitehouse connections, ABC should have been revised from political reporting completely. Brennan and Clapper are in the same situation.

Obama placed spies in the campaigns of opponents. He has now inserted spies and psy-ops pros into American newsrooms. This is their go to.

[taildragger]

"It is FAR more serious than the silly name implies."

This and all the other scandals that may or may not have IG's and Atty Generals in States aka the Horowitz / Huber model. They would include: The Awan's, Uranium 1, Hillary's Emails ( and or the connection to Wiener's laptop ), The Clinton Foundation, and G-d only knows what else...

[Menehune56]

No, the real goal is a continuous destroying assault on Trump, executed with the help of Intel agency run media.

The deep state plan is get rid of Trump by any means necessary, then disappear Obama's and Hillary's high crimes and misdemeanors. This is why it was so critical for Hillary to win in 2016 and explains everything that has transpired since.

[Freedom_2_ADM]

Concur.
Obama had Brennan use the five eye partners to kick this off. The UK even had compartmented code name for their piece of this.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

It seems we are much closer to blood in the streets and open rebellion than we might think - and from an angle 180 degrees off of anything discussed in the lamest of the lame - the MSM.

If they have to go after Obama, their are major cities that will burn (especially in summer). Obama is the ultimate cover for the coup...because of the color of skin and nothing more. This is where the arrogance of Brennan and Comey comes from (Lynch is just a dunce). They know they can count on Hell in the inner-cities if this opens up.

[Mr. K]

This is why they are starting to go after Sean Hannity- if he was not allowing Sara Carter on-air then none of this would be reported anywhere.

Hannity is finally LEADING the agenda, instead of just following what the MSM chooses to report.

[Alberta's Child]

This goes way beyond Trump. He's just the disruptor whose election has brought this to the surface.

It's starting to look like the "deep state" involved foreign partners who have effectively infiltrated the governments of multiple countries and are using their intelligence agencies to subvert the governing institutions of these nations.

We may even find out that Obama was just a jug-eared nitwit who they used as a front for all of this. This did not start in 2009. It's probably been going on for years.

Bttt.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

It is FAR more serious than the silly name ["Spygate"] implies.

Absolutely correct. That silly name enormously diminishes the magnitude of the crimes, doesn't it? Call it what it really is:

"Obama coup d'état"

Will the citizenry get riled about a spy planted in the opposition camp? I doubt it, especially with the compliant press being completely clammed up.

Would the citizenry get upset about the mulatto president conniving to steal the election and topple the duly elected POTUS? Maybe yes, but we still have a silent, complicit and compliant press.

[petitfour]

Obama is a British citizen by birth after all.
