Trump accuses Obama of treason for ‘spying’ on his 2016 campaign
October 25, 2019 ^ | Paul Bedard

President Trump has ratched up his claim that the Obama White House spied on his 2016 campaign, charging in a new book that it was a “treasonous” act by the former Democratic president.

“What they did was treasonous, OK? It was treasonous,” he told author Doug Wead for his upcoming book, "Inside Trump's White House: The Real Story of His Presidency."

“The interesting thing out of all of this is that we caught them spying on the election. They were spying on my campaign. So you know? What is that all about?” said Trump.

“I have never ever said this, but truth is, they got caught spying. They were spying,” said Trump who then added, “Obama.”

They DID spy and they used spy agencies to plant false news to provoke a false investigation with fraudulent FISA applications.

This has got to be an impeachable offense. Obama is one of the many 3rd rails conservatives are supposed to stay away from. /s

It is not treason to spy on another campaign. It is criminal though, and Nixon resigned to avoid impeachment after he was caught simply covering up the spying on his opposition done by his subordinates.

If this were a simple one person ‘down’ episode, and you could hang all of this on one single member of the Obama staff, then he could emerge and undamaged.

Once you have a dozen members of his internal staff (possibly even his CIA chief, Susan Rice, etc)...he’s tainted at that point. You can’t even ask him....didn’t you know about all this stuff going on? His answer? I only knew when CNN reported it.

You know how foolish that makes him?

Treason

the crime of betraying one's country, especially by attempting to kill the sovereign or overthrow the government.

The Kenyanesian Usurper used ALL of the federal government to try to defeat and undermine President Trump.
Many of his minions are still there today “resisting”.

It’s the tree falling in the forest. The news media knew about the spying, but they were all for it. The media hounded Nixon from office for far less than what 0bama did. This time the shoe is on the other foot as they will cover the crimes of the 0bama regime with silence.
