The NYT is reporting Obama's FBI sent a cloaked investigator to London to meet with Trump aide George Papadopoulos in Sept 2016.....spinning news designed to protect deep-state sources.
AG Barrs promise to investigate the investigators spooked the Deep State. The result is news with a modified limited hangout approach, where fragments are presented as revelations while the full picture remains artfully hidden. The NYT story repeatedly suggests Azra Turk is an FBI agent, but doesnt say so directly probably means she isnt. Reporter Adam Goldman, told CNN they called Turk a government investigator for a reason, and Im going to leave it at that.....said the deep-state errand boy.
Naturally, all sources are anonymous, identified generally as people familiar with the operation. My guess is they include Jim Comey, Andrew McCabe and other dirty cops worried they are in Barrs crosshairs. They should worry, especially about Barrs probe into leaks. There is no question that FBI officials were among the same reporters sources all along as the Times painted Trump as a Russian agent.
Which is why the NYT assures readers there was nothing amiss in the Obama-ordered spying, arguing that the existence of an operation aimed at a presidential campaign reveals the level of alarm inside the FBI over Russian efforts to disrupt the 2016 election......an odd and extremely biased way to describe the possibly illegal effort by the Obama admin to spy on the presidential campaign of the opposition.
Imagine how that sentence would be written if a Republican president spied on a Democratic candidate.
And why are the reporters certain the spying was legitimate and not a plot to stop Trump from being elected? Because their sources say so, making this a powerful example of why the Times was wrong to abolish its standards.

I wish Horowitz the IG and Dunham would get MOVING on releasing the report and indicting some of the crooks behind this. The incessant delays are enabling the perps and their spinners, like their Pravda called the NY Times, to spin the story through lies and deceptions.

The NYT started the baseless meme echoed by Hannity that the Steele dossier was Russian disinformation. The reality is that it was made up entirely by Nellie Ohr, Sid Blumenthal, Cody Shearer, and Steele. The Russians had nothing to do with the hoax.
The NYT uses Russian disinformation as the excuse/justification for this sordid affair. I wish Hannity would stop giving it credence.

It takes a former NYTimes writer to go after the NYTimes. Goodwin's accusations are damming: "the former newspaper of record".

Did the NY Times admit and defend Obamas spying on Trump?
Partner, the America Hating Piece of Work Obama was a foreign born POTUS, which BTW is against our Constitution. Secondly, why was the America Hating POTUS conducting a coup attempt on President Trump. We already know the answer and the MSM apparently is so biased that they can not figure out anything anymore.
The America Hating Piece of Work Obama wanted a DemonRat to be our POTUS so that a Republican would not be able to see what had been done by Obama and the FBI and many other department heads that got involved in the coup attempt on President Trump.
It is against U.S. law to go after a citizen of the U.S. like the FBI, the CIA, and the NSA director, judges etc., etc. (formed by W. Bush) did against President Trump but he was not yet our POTUS. Yes, the America Hating Piece of Work Obama wanted everything swept under the rug so that nobody would know that a coup attempt had been done on President Trump.
It was all done under that America Hating Piece of Work Obama's presidential administration.
The MSM which happens to be our "Giant Sixth Grade Brain Journalists" can not do anymore investigative news reports anymore since their "Giant Sixth Brains" can not figure out anything anymore.
Citizen Q has read books and read reports that says there was a definite coup attempt on President Trump and the dossier was put together by a British foreigner by the name of Steele and we know it was a big time fake of a dossier. The Citizen Q's of this great country already know this information!
This is 100 times worst than Watergate!!! We have one of the worst House of Representative Speakers in Nancy Pelousy and her DemonRat cohorts in the House and our darling MSM that will not lift a pen to investigate any wrong doing. Citizen Q is demanding there be an investigation immediately and the MSM should do some investigative reporting. Citizen Q is beyond P.O.ed!

I wish Horowitz the IG and Dunham would get MOVING on releasing the report and indicting some of the crooks behind this. They can indict until they're blue in the face, but first they need to have a reliable path to conviction, not a bunch of communist judges who will dismiss the cases and negate all the evidence...and then allow them walk free, and never to be tried again for the same crime.
Does that judicial environment currently exist?

Don’t know but that type of judicial environment is a lot more likely to exist in Connecticut, where Dunham is basing his case and where Trump got 41 percent of the vote instead of in DC, where Trump got all of 4.1 percent of the vote.

The scared-stiff Obama dictatorship feared Trump. The lawless Obama had plenty to hide. They were counting on Hillary to sweep it all under the rug. Obama ordered (A) the entire US intel apparat (created to protect American safety and security), and, (B) suck-up Eric Holder's DOJ, to spy on the Trump campaign, the Trump transition and the Trump presidency.
Explains the goofy OMG face on the goon-faced Halfrican when he met the impressive president-elect.
The dirt Hillary was supposed to sweep under the rug is now in the hands of the man the Halfrican tried to destroy.
"After all we did for her, that lousy Hillary lost. "Howm I gonna get out of the mess Im in?"
"I know, well invent Russian collusion..lie like crazy...setup Trump to take the blame.

It’s called a Military Tribunal. “DarthVader” has been hinting at it for some time.

Exactly and that is why it has taken time. The charges have to rise to a level where they can be tried in a military tribunal. The judges can also be indicted and tried under one as co-conspirators.

If he is, in fact, foreign born, then that would make him an illegal alien.His mother was too young to automatically confer citizenship on him were he born outside USA borders. His putative father got him status as a Citizen of the British Empire which makes him NOT a Natural Born Citizen. Any way you shake it he is not an NBC.

It would be injudicious to try and convict Obama of his crimes. It would be delicious, however, were he to be deported.
