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. Heres 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 thats 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 reportor only selectively reportto 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 Obamas 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 keynot because they were
the origin of SPYGATE but because each new application had to include earlier supporting
intelligence, i.e., Obamas authorization. And the director of the British surveillance agency,
GCHQ, Robert Hannigan, quit three days after Trumps 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 Muellers 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 wouldnt 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!
This might be the most plausible explanation I've seen for what has been going on in Washington since early 2017.
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.
No, the real goal is a continuous destroying assault on Trump, executed with the help of Intel agency run media.
No.
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.
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.
Bttt.

March 2017: Nearly two weeks ago, Fox News legal analyst Andrew Napolitano was reportedly pulled from the air for making baseless claims that British intelligence officials spied on Donald Trump in 2016 at the request of then-President Barack Obama.
On Wednesday morning, Napolitano returned to the network, making an appearance on Fox & Friends. His first order of business? Doubling down on the claims that got him suspended in the first place.
Host Bill Hemmer asked Napolitano whether he stood by his March 14 report that Obama went outside the chain of command to request that Britains Government Communications Headquarters, or GCHQ, wiretap Trump Tower. At the time, Napolitano said he had based his charge on three intelligence sources but did not name them.
Yes, I do, and the sources stand by it, Napolitano told Hemmer on Wednesday.
There’s a BIGLY reckoning coming for the democrat party, the Obamanistas, Clintonistas and their media allies...
Here’s Peter Strzok in his own words describing the point that human resources started to be used against the Trump campaign. Hint: and it wasn’t after bar room chatter.

Do it. Rubble makes excellent foundation material for rebuilding.
Why does it say this if LS is the author?
FTA: 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...
No, both sides are not right. The left, as usual, is wrong.
The “tear the country apart” argument is much like the “too big to fail” argument. These slogans are trotted out every time they need to avoid punishment for MASSIVE CRIME. Basically, they are saying “Put the little people in jail for crime, but for me and my gigantic, audacious crime, I should go free, because my “insurance policy” will be the fallout from putting me in jail.
No. Let the chips fall. Whatever happens, we will recover and be stronger for it. To allow this to happen time after time, is to allow it to escalate. Rip the bandage off NOW.
The number one reason why they can threaten that “it will tear the country apart” is because they have bought and paid for the riots. Shut that down and the repercussions will be minimal.
“It will tear the country apart” = “Just wait until your father gets home”. I.e., “I got nothin’, but I’m hoping the scary-sounding threat will coerce you into doing what I say.
Hannity had guy from The Hill on who has a list of FBI agents willing to expose the corruption and let th American people know the truth after IG report comes out.
Our dream is possible; Obama, Jarrett, Comney, Brennan, Clapper and others charged. Imprisoned hopeflly, and with Clintoons.
