I think you will get your wish. Remember the uproar when Nunes visited the White House in April 2017? The press claimed that he was collaborating with Trump.

Bongino says Nunes was going there to see some eyes-only material left over from Obama. Presidential daily briefs. Briefs that reveal that Obama knew that his administration was illegally spying on Hillary’s political rivals. And not just spying on Trump. They were spying on a whole lot of people.

The Supreme Court being the last body that can grant you clemency before the lethal injection is administered might have something to do with people who have been plotting an overthrow of the government being somewhat concerned that the makeup of the court might not be on their side.

I think so. I think what will ultimately be revealed is that Obama was at the center of the conspiracy to illegally use the intelligence agencies to spy on all sorts of people. In both parties. This is something he had done in his races back in Chicago. Old habits dying hard, plus extreme narcissism. The big question will be what do you do with an ex President who gets exposed as having been a major criminal while in office.

“”During the time that the FBI was putting — that DOJ and FBI were putting together the FISA (surveillance warrant) during the time prior to the election — there was another source giving information directly to the FBI, which we found the source to be pretty explosive,” said Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio.”

A new, previously unkown source. Around August-September 2016.

Who?

He’s been extremely quiet lately. It’s been so refreshing.

Congress is neither a prosecutorial nor a judicial body. Their “investigations” are SUPPOSED to pertain to legislation.

This is a farce. I wish people would stop posting about these “hearings” as if something was going to happen. By design, there’s nothing for Congress to do here.

It’s a job for the chief law enforcement officer of the United States. His name is Donald John Trump.

Pretty sure he’s talked to a grand jury first. Once that’s done Congress can have him.

I think you will get a McCabe conviction, and probably a Comey conviction...obviously people involved are cutting deals, and we have no idea how far it will go. It may be Club Fed and who knows for how long, but some of these main players with less political cover are going to either plead out or be convicted.

Long before the FISA warrant the conspiracy had been spying on Trump (and others) since 2015. They were unmasking their targets by filing 702 “about” inquiries with the NSA, which had the raw intercepts.

It was the proliferation of these 702s that caught the eye of Admiral Rogers and his crew over at NSA. And being suspicious that someone was up to no good, Rogers shut down this unmasking operation.

This prompted the conspirators to seek another way to spy, and that’s when they sought the FISA warrant.

But this doesn’t answer the question of “who was it outside the FBI who was spying in late summer 2016?”

The answer to that may be “contractors”. Contractors whom the FBI had been granting access to NSA intercepts. Contractors you might already know- Fusion GPS and Crowdstrike.

“Brennan.”

Maybe...that would be explosive.

Or...a Senator? McCain? His staffer?

I actually think this happened in front of a grand jury run by prosecutor Huber. I know the article doesn’t say that, but I believe that’s the case.
