EXCLUSIVE: The Treasury Department Spied on Flynn, Manafort, and the Trump Family, Says Whistleblower
The Ohio Star ^ | 18 May 2020 | Neil W. McCabe

Posted on 05/18/2020 2:55:46 AM PDT by Erik Latranyi

President Barack Obama’s Treasury Department regularly surveilled retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn’s financial records and transactions beginning in December 2015 and well into 2017, before, during and after when he served at the White House as President Donald Trump’s National Security Director, a former senior Treasury Department official, and veteran of the intelligence community, told the Star Newspapers.

“I started seeing things that were not correct, so I did my own little investigation, because I wanted to make sure what I was seeing was correct” she said. “You never want to draw attention to something if there is not anything there.”

The whistleblower said she only saw metadata, that is names and dates when the general’s financial records were accessed. “I never saw what they saw.”

By March 2016, the whistleblower said she and a colleague, who was detailed to Treasury from the intelligence community, became convinced that the surveillance of Flynn was not tied to legitimate criminal or national security concerns, but was straight-up political surveillance among other illegal activity occurring at Treasury.

“When I showed it to her, what she said, ‘Oh, sh%t!’ and I knew right then and there that I was right – this was some shady stuff,” the whistleblower said.

“It wasn’t just him,” the whistleblower said. “They were targeting other U.S. citizens, as well.”

Only two names are listed in the whistleblower’s official paperwork, so the others must remain sealed, she said. The second name is Paul J. Manafort Jr., the one-time chairman of Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

The other names include: Members of Congress, the most senior staffers on the 2016 Trump campaign and members of Trump’s family, she said.

If Durham doesn’t act before the end of June, he will not act until after the election,

Barr said in a recent interview that nobody under investigation is running for office and the investigation would continue..

Barr was just on TV saying there will not be prosecutions of Obama and Biden. If anyone thinks the lower level Obama minions will be charged, dream on.

"Loretta Fuddy" is the CIA asset that was launched into the directorship of the Hawai'i Department of Health (HDOH) after the newly-minted Governor had already nominated Dr. Neal Palafox to that position. Out of the blue one day, Neal was told there were discrepancies in his patient billings and that he was resigning. Boom! In swoops Fuddy's replacement nomination. This happened in early 2011, at a similar time as CIA contractor Dennis Montgomery believably claimed to have been hired by Clapper and Brennan to hack into the HDOH Vital Statistics computer.

Montgomery, who was also involved in criminal mischief directed against Sheriff Joe Arpaio, pointed his Hammer computer and HAMR software at the HDOH's Vital Statistics computer, to be able without trace to change such statistics. The book detail confirming evidence of such changes.

Mere months after becoming Director, "Fuddy" also sent out from HDOH three invalid "Verifications" of Barry's birth information in addition to having procured the fraudulent Long Form Birth Certificate (LFBC). That LFBC was transported by Barry's Perkins Coie personal attorney, Judith Corley. Prior to moving to Hawaii, Fuddy's home was a mere mile from Perkins Coie's headquarters in Seattle.

Perkins Coie has been Registered Foreign Agent of the Communist Chinese military and represented them as well as the DNC, Clintons and Obama on many occasions. Perkins Coie's offices are a mere 6 miles from the Seattle area CIA headquarter.

Once Corley handed off Barry's LFBC in DC, the it was presented to the assemble White House Press Corps by White House Counsel Bob Bauer, who had been Perkins Coie's chairman for 28 years. Bauer did not allow any cameras at his presentation of the LFBC.

Bauer has written multiple books on elections and election financing and after leaving the White House, Brennan appointed Bob Barr to a CIA panel investigating the CIA's surveillance of the Senate Intel Committee, about which Brennan wasted no time into his tenure lying about. Brennan was forced to apologize, but that was the limit of any "pu The evidence shows, just as do so many episodes from Barry's life, that the Fuddy Hoax was a CIA operation from top to bottom, even as it showcased a CIA fishing vessel now bearing the name "Finback."

"Fuddy" did not die in that 12/11/2013 controlled ditching just off the shores of the Kalaupapa airport. She was replaced in the scenario by a (likely foreign) military diver and only reported to have died. Though either of two USCG helicopters on scene could have whisked her away to Queens Hospital in Honolulu, within two blocks of where Fuddy worked and where those helicopters brought other passengers, "Fuddy's body" was kept on Molokai at the Kalaupapa leper colony's Patient House. The body was conveniently identified by the Maui County Chaplain, who just happened to be Fuddy's ostensible sister.

Thereafter, "she" was transported to the nearly deserted Molokai General morgue. It would be a month before the Medical Examiner's report gave a final cause of death, which had changed six times from the time of the crash to the date of the ME's report.

Coming forward with evidence against a true government conspiracy is daunting. (Of course, crazies with the "conspiracy theorist" epithet on their lips will have some verisimilitude with that, but the evidence and proofs are also present in this case. US laws are in place to punish actual criminal conspiracies.) The enemy has taken hold of an essentially unlimited hoard of taxpayer-generated funds to battle against you. And they use when they feel they can and should.

"....and contradicted the Obama narrative that Al Qaeda was on the run and a shell of their former self when they had largely moved to Africa and other nations under pressure and they were growing."

Obama has a big ego, and thin skin - as does Hillary. I believe that a lot of what was done behind the scenes by Obama and Hillary was motivated by the comments Trump made about how incompetent they both were. This is the Obama who said he is generally more knowledgeable and smarter than his advisors, and Hillary - the Queen. How dare anyone be dismissive of them and their 'greatness'?

They weren't worried about losing the election, but had 'payback' plans against Trump anyway, because he dared 'diss' them. Their plan was to ruin him, hound him on financial and tax issues, and disgrace him - all from the White House they thought they'd still be occupying. They really are that petty.

At the rate things are going, no wonder Barr, Durham and Huber are taking their time on this case. We may be talking over 200 people under indictment—and that could include newspaper Editor-in-Chiefs, upper management of television news operations and even the upper management of companies like Alphabet (Google), Facebook and Twitter.

I don’t disagree. The hubris of the Obama years was spectacular.

Boobamba had a vendetta against Trump early on.....b/c Trump as a NY businessman
(way before he was a candidate)..... had brought up questions about the touchy Kenyan's origins.

IOW Trump was a "birther."

Obama and Hillary weren't worried about losing the election to Trump .....Obama fixed it in H's favor.....so he thought.

But 'payback' plans against Trump would be catastrophic .....he dared 'diss' them.
The plan was to ruin him, hound him on financial and tax issues, and disgrace him.

All while the vindictive duo were sitting pretty in the White House.

They really are that petty.......after all, they carry the DNA of Democraps.

Treasury was investigating him probably because he was investigating something that had to do with Treasury. They knew he was a white hat and was digging into corruption. They wanted to know what he knew, and he was was telling. (Pallets of cash to Iran? Who knows?)
