Flynn Surveillance Required Approval at Highest Levels[Herridge]
Fox News insider ^ | 2/14/2017 | Catherine Herridge

Posted on 02/15/2017 5:33:48 AM PST by AndyJackson

See linked video

Herridge said that identifying the American caller for surveillance purposes, in this case Flynn, "needs sign-off at the highest levels."

House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) said authorization would have been needed to unmask Flynn's name.

"If in fact the press reports are right, someone made the decision to deliberately listen to General Flynn's phone calls," said Nunes, calling it "unprecedented, unwarranted and flat-out wrong."

There are plenty of people allowed to look at the data

Plenty is not a very big number and it is all traceable.

Is it time to waterboard Obama to get the name of the person authorizing wiretap on Flynn? Is was nice of Obama to clear out Gitmo so he could have a choice of cells to occupy.

“No witch hunt.”

But justification for one. The intel agencies and State are full of back stabbing commies.

"There is definitely an attempt to destabilize the government. It is coming from domestic sources. The dem party, the media, the elites, and Hollywood are all complicit. "

You left out the sore losers in the republican party. Lindsay Graham, John McCain and his allies, Charles Krauthammer and the rest of the neo-con media subversives at FOX that want to bring down President Trump at all costs.

“I believe they were not surveilling Flynn, but rather surveilling Russian spies and diplomats operating in the US, who Flynn turned out to be chatty with, right?”

Yeah, that what the cover story is. You can go back to sleep. Everything is ok.

It absolutely was Obama. Flynn was publicly very hard on the Iran deal. Payback.

Not at all. She’s saying it wasn’t a lowly agent, but the head of one of one or more of the intel agencies.

They said there were 9 people involved in leaking to the Wash Post, possibly Brennan, Clapper, etc, Obama holdovers and current admin picks. This spying was initiated while Obama was still President, not Trump.

“Actually, if it was reported to Obama, he broke the law too.”

Good Point. Bring him in too before a Grand Jury.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.

I don’t believe then anymore. Obama’s goons were targeting Flynn.

Clapper was caught in an outright lie to Congress, nothing happened.

Brennan may be a Muslim spy. Sure is sympathetic to Muslim countries.

They said Russia hacked the election & caused Hillary to lose. Yet, they recently broke up a Muslim spy ring in the IT depart of Congress. Probably easy for them to get DNC emails using their IT positions. Democratic Congressmen would have been emailing the DNC.

Brennan has also talked about being a Communist when he was younger. Who knows, maybe he is a Muslim Communist.

“If that is how it happened, that’s is plausible. However, if they first monitored Flynn, then an order would be needed.”

That’s the point to find out who ordered it. How high did it go?

Absolutely correct. Obama may have been within Executive power to “order” a FISA warrant be given to the FBI by the FISC (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court) to tap Flynn and several other members of the Trump Campaign. The time window for the FISC approved warrant may have (DID) cross over into the 2016 Election, which the demonrats (and obamaumao, who stated it, bragging several times) were convinced they would destroy President Trump. Now we have the inklings of how they were going to ensure this— either before the election, during it and even after the Inauguration. This is a CRIMINAL, impeachable offense by obamaumao and company, and now that he is out of office and continuing to run a “deep state” shadow government that involved the delay of cabinet officers (namely the Atty General who could have stopped this biotch Sally Yates who “warned” Trump about Flynn— yeah, right)— now he is out of office, he is indeed prosecutable on this behaviour. Imagine— the IRS politically acts against conservative 501-(c) organizations denying them the tax status, and a President (like Hitlery) orders his Gestapo (recall he advocated for a national federal police that had jurisdiction over local, county and state police) to tap the opposition party during an election- under the “cover” of “it’s the Russians” while trying to protect themselves, himself and the clintoons in their criminal conspiracy with the Muslim Brotherhood (and continuing the perpetual war in the ME, fomenting the Syrian civil war, and working with the “moderate” rebels thereby creating ISIS- thanks to McCain, and Graham and the mil-industrial complex). All of this- including hanging Flynn out to dry (as a serious threat to the internal obamaumao loyalist traitors to the US within our own intel community who thought they could work a coup with hitlery’s election)— all of it is to protect obamaumao’s and hitlery’s/clinton foundation’s own a@@es against serious treason proceedings by the Trump administration and the FBI/DOJ Atty General Sessions- who thank God are now in place, and have a massive job to do. Obamaumao is quite simply an alinsky-ite govt. gangster, along with hitlery and the entire democrat criminal conspiracy.

You remember how ex-community organizer barack obama got his ACORN pals to go to bank officer’s homes to protest? To force them to make bad loans?

If they can go to the bank officer’s homes, I don’t see a reason protests cannot be held outside of an ex-president’s home. These clowns need to realize it can work both ways.

I would never suggest anything threatening, of course. But obama needs to realize others can play his little games too.

Not only Flynn. I believe Obama’s goons were tapping/spying on Trump and his entire campaign. Way worse than Watergate!

I believe Obami had/has a ‘blackmail’ file on almost every person in Congress.

His details’ service pistols can point both in as well as out.

I wonder if that’s why the SS Director re-resigned yesterday, DJT needs one who will order zero’s detail to turn inwards.

We wouldn’t even know if zero was under house arrest for weeks of nobody spotting him anywhere.......

The Deep State rears its ugly head to remind us who is in charge. The “We-be’s” don’t like change.
I feel sorry for the voters who thought they could wrest control from the Establishment and be in charge of the government and their own destiny. smh

Absolutely correct. Obama had Executive power to “order” a FISA warrant in August of 2016 (following the “chance” meeting on the tarmac with Atty General Lynch and Billy Boy Clintoon, after which this scheme was concocted- because they all knew what espionage and corruption they had committed) directing the FBI to do so from the FISC (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court) to tap Flynn and several other members of the Trump Campaign. The time window for the FISC approved warrant may have ( obviously DID) cross over into the final days of the 2016 Election, which the demonrats (and obamaumao, who stated it, bragging several times) were convinced they would destroy President Trump, and the clintoons take over the criminal game. Now we have the inklings of how they were going to ensure this— either before the election, during it and even after the Inauguration. This is a CRIMINAL, impeachable offense by obamaumao and company, and now that he is out of office and continuing to run a “deep state” shadow government that involved the delay of cabinet officers (namely the Atty General who could have stopped this biotch Sally Yates who “warned” Trump about Flynn— yeah, right)— he is prosecutable on this behaviour- by anyone with some freaking guts, cause it’s not “cause he’s black”. Imagine— the IRS politically acts against conservative 501-(c) organizations denying them the tax status and harrassing them through tax audits, and a President (like Hitler) orders his Gestapo (recall he advocated for a national federal police that had jurisdiction over local, county and state police) to tap the opposition party during an election- under the “cover” of “it’s the Russians” while trying to protect themselves, himself and the clintoons in their criminal conspiracy with the Muslim Brotherhood (and continuing the perpetual war in the ME, fomenting the Syrian civil war, and working with the “moderate” rebels thereby creating ISIS- thanks to McCain, and Graham and the mil-industrial complex). All of this- including hanging Flynn out to dry (who as someone who would re-organize the intel community was/is a serious threat to the internal obamaumao loyalist traitors to the US within it who thought they had worked a coup with hitlery’s election); all of it is to protect obamaumao’s and hitlery’s/clinton foundation’s own a@@es against serious treason proceedings by the Trump administration and the FBI/DOJ Atty General Sessions- who thank God are now in place, and have a massive job to do cleaning the “Augean stables”. Obamaumao is quite simply an alinsky-ite govt. gangster, along with hitlery and the entire democrat criminal conspiracy.

Key word is ‘voters’. Spending a few minutes in a voting booth a few times a decade was never going to preserve self-government.
