Democrats’ efforts to raise suspicions about alleged — and, thus far, imaginary — links between President Donald Trump’s campaign and the Russian government may have backfired spectacularly.
The spotlight is now on President Barack Obama and his administration’s alleged surveillance of the Trump campaign, as well as his aides’ reported efforts to spread damaging information about Trump throughout government agencies to facilitate later investigations and, possibly, leaks to the media.

Even if there were links between President Donald Trump’s campaign and the Russian government, it isn’t illegal
It is political
That’s not a crime in and of itself
More like a 'matchlight' and the MSM keeps trying to blow it out.
Congress must investigate, but with the Republicans we have up there, I can’t help but feel some concern.
They shouldn’t be allowed to investigate Russian links unless the Democrats can allege a crime has been committed.
It will be just more Kabuki theater and we will be paying for the tickets.
I’m betting the Obama administration did order surveillance of the Trump campaign during the election. They were SO SURE that Hillary would win that they didn’t worry about any illegalities because they would never be exposed and/or prosecuted if Hilly was President. Imagine the panic on Nov. 9 when Trump was in & Hilly was out. Just as they didn’t count on Hilly losing, they also didn’t count on DJT being a “real” president, who not only carries a big stick, but isn’t afraid to use it (unlike most Republicans & GW Bush). They misjudged the election results & Trump himself to their peril.
Obama thinks he’s “too big” as well as “too black” to jail, but with a new sheriff in town who does NOT operate by the old political playbook, all bets are off if it can be proved Obama was involved at a criminal level. I think that’s one reason ValJar moved back in with the Obamas - she’s been the puppet master all along & “someone” has determined that Obama still needs his strings pulled by ValJar to keep the wheels on his wagon.
Recess Appointment at Justice, and keep it in-house.
Congress is useless.
See Trey Gowdy.
Occam’s Razor – Did NSA Admiral Mike Rogers Warn Trump On November 17th, 2016?…
Posted on March 3, 2017 by sundance
On Thursday November 17th, 2016, NSA Director Mike Rogers traveled to New York and met with President-Elect Donald Trump.
On Friday November 18th The Washington Post reported on a recommendation in “October” that Mike Rogers be removed from his NSA position:
The heads of the Pentagon and the nation’s intelligence community have recommended to President Obama that the director of the National Security Agency, Adm. Michael S. Rogers, be removed.
The recommendation, delivered to the White House last month, was made by Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter and Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper Jr., according to several U.S. officials familiar with the matter.
[…] In a move apparently unprecedented for a military officer, Rogers, without notifying superiors, traveled to New York to meet with Trump on Thursday at Trump Tower. That caused consternation at senior levels of the administration, according to the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal personnel matters.
Remember, historically The Washington Post is the preferred outlet for the CIA and Intelligence Community within Deep State to dump their “leaks” and stories. The State Department “leaks” to CNN for the same purposes.
“””A full investigation by Congress is absolutely necessary,”””
I am not sure a full Congressional investigation will uncover anything that is reported to the public. Washington DC is too invested in keeping secrets from the public.
What a full Congressional investigation will do is to put water on Obama/Jarrett plan to have a shadow government. Obama has been put on notice that if he persists in obstructing government, he might spend some jail time.
More than half the Congress wants to prove that the “Russians did it”, that includes a bunch of them that wear R jerseys.
The DeepState/Uniparty hates that we elected a President who puts the citizens first and intends to stop the illegal alien and refugee inundation.
A lib friend of mine just told me that Trump might well be forced from power.
By what legal means is this possible?
It that does happen by some fraudulent scheme, then what next?
B.S.
They want to make Americans think it is.
That’s all that matters.
This is a superb summary that explains the events of the last 3-4 months, and the motives behind them.
How do you spell Constitutional Crisis?
Did these people use the Color of Law to deny Trump and his supporters their civil rights?
I believe that’s 20 years in Federal Prison for all.
Libs do not have a faint clue about President Trump as a man and as the leader of a movement. If there is a one in a million chance of Trump being forced from office there is a 99% chance of Obama serving prison time in Guantanamo as an enemy of the republic.

Everyone here knows there is nothing that a Romanian or a Russian or any other kind of hacker could do to actually affect the election because the voting machines are not connected to the internet. The only hacking was to the DNC itself. All we really know is that there was hacking of Democrat materials especially their emails.
We have to ask ourselves, “Why?” What would any hacker hope to get?
Everyone was expecting Hillary to win this thing right up to the very end. It was a big surprise that even Trump was ultimately and actually preferred over Hillary by the American people. So, because they expected Hillary to win, they wanted to have information they could use to manipulate her in office. This would be a classic Russian move.
Sidebar: There is no way the Russians would prefer having Trump as president over Hillary. Whatever Trump represented or behaved or however out of the norm his politics were, no one ever doubted that he was going to be building up the military. And the Russians had no intention of losing another arms race. There is no way the Russians would help Trump win. On the other hand there is every reason to think they wanted Hillary to win because she presented a very anti-American opportunity for them in the continuation of Obama’s policies. As everyone knows, Putin is trying to rebuild his empire and hopes to get more uranium and plutonium with Clinton in his pocket.
At this point, all the Democrats can do is undermine Trump, hoping to impeach him and accuse him of dealing with the Russians. Sour grapes, sour grapes. Yet, Pence could possibly be a bigger threat to the Russians AND the Democrats than Trump, since he is an actual Conservative. The Democrats are in a real quandary.
Their only hope, a really dim one now, is to overturn the election. That failing, to tie him up the way they did Reagan in the later years; to weaken the conservatives politically in order to take back the house and the senate in 2018 and then the presidency in 2020, so that they can continue their program of globalism and destruction of the American way of life. The Democrats, however, are delusional if they expect that to happen precisely BECAUSE of the tactics they are using. Americans are getting tired of these games.
A lib friend of mine just told me that Trump might well be forced from power.Wishful thinking.

Not even impeachment alone removes them from power...Bill Clinton was impeached and served his full term without a hiccup.
