10 Ways DOJ Abused Its Authority When It Spied On Trump’s Campaign
The Federalist ^ | JULY 13, 2018 | Margot Cleveland

New facts indicate Obama administration officials and career FBI and DOJ employees misled the FISA court in more ways than previous thought.

Last Friday, the Department of Justice (DOJ) missed another deadline to comply with subpoenas issued by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI). The DOJ’s latest episode of stonewalling prompted HPSCI Chair Devin Nunes (R-CA) to suggest that President Donald Trump intervene.

While the DOJ had turned over some of the subpoenaed information, Nunes told Fox News’ Jeanine Pirro that the House still does not have critical documents detailing the FBI’s use of informants to spy on the Trump campaign prior to the official launch of the Russia collusion investigation, dubbed Crossfire Hurricane.

Nunes also suggested Trump declassify the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) applications used to obtain a court order to conduct electronic surveillance on former Trump campaign advisor Carter Page. “I think the FISA is totally fraudulent, 100 percent fraudulent,” the California congressman declared, adding that by releasing the FISA applications, the public can assess whether Obama officials and career DOJ and FBI employees abused the FISA process or whether seeking a FISA warrant on Page was justified, as Democrats continue to maintain. Declassifying the FISA applications will help us answer “who’s telling the truth,” Nunes said.

Oh my, what a great thing to point out here.

We may have had 12 Russians focusing on the Democrats, but we also had three spy agencies of the United States focusing on Trump.

Sit down and shut up Rosenweasel.

How long will it be and how many ways are we going to say the same thing about the corruption within the FBI, DOJ, NSA, CIA, etc. before we see some arrests and convictions? We’ve had due process upon due process upon due process and we are still where we were at the beginning. Is this going to be another Benghazi where EVERYBODY walks........except for our ambassador and other dead American patriots?

Instead of indicting 12 Russian officials, why didn’t Mueller indict 12 DOJ officials?

They are more guilty and they are here. In the US. You wouldn’t even have to try them. Just throw them in Solitary. Like Manafort.

"There is no serious person out there who would suggest somehow that you could even rig America’s elections, there's no evidence that that has happened in the past or that it will happen this time, and so I’d invite Mr. Trump to stop whining and make his case to get votes."
-- Barack Obama, October 2016

THE KEY THAT PROVES THAT OBAMA’S FBI WAS TASKED BY OBAMA’S WHITE HOUSE TO SECRETLY SPY ON TRUMP FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE TO BRING HIM DOWN IS WRAPPED IN A SINGLE QUESTION

When the alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 election was allegedly suspected, the FBI went to the DNC and the Clinton campaign and said: “Look, guys, we think Russia is meddling in this election and we’d like your help investigating that.” Now we don’t really know HOW the DNC and Clinton responded. But we do know what DID NOT happen: The Obama FBI DID NOT DEMAND THAT Hillary TURN OVER HER DEVICES, HER SECRET SERVER OR THOSE 31,000 EMAILS!
If getting to the bottom of any Russian meddling WAS THE REASON FOR THE FBI’s concern, did the FBI openly approach the Trump campaign with the same question?
NO, THEY DID NOT!!
Please remember that most pregnant question and answer as Comey, Clapper, Brennan and their still as yet unidentified fellow anti-Trump conspirators make further public appearances, are “outed” or find themselves in court (or AT THE BEACH!)
I’m STILL waiting for someone in Congress to ASK THAT 64 THOUSAND DOLLAR QUESTION!
(CRICKETS...)

I would say about 30 days before the Nov election would give everybody enough time to out the treasonous democrat conspirators.

You’re a moron for believing that. Or perhaps mentally ILL if CAPS SCREAM AT YOU. Get your hearing checked. Of course, if you are a snake, my apologies as we all know how keen your hearing is.
