FARRELL: Spygate Could Make Watergate Look Like A Third-Rate Burglary
Daily Caller ^ | 3/10/2020 | chris farrell

The Spygate scandal is shaping up to be the most significant political abuse of government power in history. And it may be even larger than people expect.

The investigation by U.S. Attorney John Durham into the origins of the FBI’s Russian collusion investigation – or as President Trump prefers to call it, the witch hunt – continues to expand. Durham reportedly opened criminal investigations last fall. And unlike the narrow Justice Department Inspector General’s review of the abuse of the FISA process, Durham is looking into the questionable activities of other government agencies, in particular the CIA and its former director John Brennan.

The widening scope involves not only the agencies being investigated, but who was being targeted and why. Earlier last week Sharyl Attkisson reported that, based on her sources in the intelligence and law enforcement communities, the authorizations to spy on Trump functionaries such as Carter Page or former campaign manager Paul Manafort were actually pretexts for a much more expansive web of surveillance that could include anyone in contact with Page, or even anyone twice removed from the ostensible target. Hence, thousands of people could have been unknowingly caught up in the Spygate web and are still unaware that their privacy had been violated under the severely compromised FISA process.

This ties into the whirlwind of “unmaskings” during the 2016-17 transition period. Names of people inadvertently caught up in this expansive web, which ordinarily would be classified and their privacy interests protected, were revealed and information sent to Democratic allies in Capitol Hill for “safe keeping.” Judicial Watch has chronicled how Obama’s United Nations Ambassador Samantha Power and National Security Adviser Susan Rice, among others, colluded in this effort to bolster the “insurance policy” to hobble the Trump presidency.

Spygate Could Make Watergate Look Like A Third-Rate Burglary

There was no push-back before the 2018 election and we lost the House. Its getting pretty late in the year already, with November coming at us like a freight train.

What if there’s a massive 6AM raid on Omoeba’s house at 6AM with SWAT teams and news cameras rolling, like they did to whats-his-face?

I thought it already was a "third rate burglary"....or was that a second rate burglary?

Not one of the actors in Spygate will be held accountable for their actions.

“Spygate” is nearly FIVE years old now...

Perspective: the Watergate break-in happened in 1972. Nixon resigned in ‘74. That’s TWO years.

Why are these people even babbling about Spygate still? They may get the story eventually, but like Benghazi, NOBODY will face prosecution.

Folks, Lucy is setting the football again. Don’t be a Charlie Brown.

I keep hoping to see it.

But I’ll settle for watching that commie POS Brennan “resisting arrest” and having his brains scrambled from five or six flash-bangs and a horizontal butt-stroke across the chops.

At this point I’m just going to hope that the bad actors are held to account by CV, because it’s obvious that no one else is going to do a damned thing, Bill Barr.

“The Spygate scandal is shaping up to be the most significant political abuse of government power in history.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was only the last crimes of what was really the most significant abuse in history, the Kenyanesian Usurpation.

The reason nothing will be done about it is that they ALL knew Obama was not a natural born citizen and did nothing.
