Obama Deploying Dozen-Strong Team to ‘Keep Tabs’ on Trump Administration

Barack Obama has reportedly deployed a team to “keep tabs” on the Trump administration and attempt to preserve his legacy, according to the Huffington Post. Since leaving office in January, the former president has tried to emulate the example of George. W. Bush by not commenting on actions taken by the new administration. Jen Psaki, Obama’s former communications director, recently said that “Obama’s inclination would be to follow the Bush model as a person.”

That resolve was broken this weekend as Obama responded to allegations from Donald Trump that he had wiretapped Trump Tower in the run-up to the last election, with his spokesman Kevin Lewis maintaining that “neither President Obama nor any White House official ever ordered surveillance on any U.S. citizen” and that “any suggestion otherwise is simply false.”

A nothing burger.

Obama just won’t have the budget and resources he had when the entire executive branch was at his command. Even then, he was relatively ineffective.

This man has a long history of dirty tricks emanating from his campaign and as President. Both his first Senate opponents (in the Dem primary and then in the general election) saw leads in the polls against him disappear when supposedly SEALED files form their divorce cases ended up with the Chicago dailies. The IRS bureaucrats, ON THEIR OWN, harassed and suppressed the Tea Party. Journalists were themselves bugged, by whom I have no idea and under whose authorization?? the list is near endless.

Maybe Valerie Jarrett is living with Obama as much for defense as offense.

Maybe? The purpose of Jarrett moving into Obama's domicile was because Obama KNOWS that all 'communications' could be intercepted by the 'government agencies' that Trump is now head of.

Ergo, the only way to 'communicate' is IN PERSON, safely INSIDE his house.

One verbal warning of ‘you better stop it or else’. One physical non violent warning of ‘we will use force to suppress insurrection.

Then all bets are off.

Unless he has a phone or smart tv in the house

Re Val Jar: by moving in with the 0bamas, she will have some circumstantial SS protection, anyway.

Seems to me that ‘’resolve’’ was broken long before Obama left the office — not last week.

This corrupt ex-prez slime is clueless. Ordering paid henchmen to ‘Keep Tabs’ on a sitting president is NOT DONE in a constitutional democracy. Is the ex-prez also going after liberals and progressives to compile dossiers on disloyalty?

And get a load of this blabbermouthing idiot:

Cong Maxine Waters: “Well you know I don’t know and I think some people are missing something here. President Obama has put in place an organization (OFA) that contains a kind of database that no one has ever seen before in life. That’s going to be very very powerful and whoever…and that database will have information about everything on every individual ("even you. liberals") on ways that it’s never been done before and whoever runs for President on the Democratic ticket has to deal with that. They’re going to have to go down with that database and the concerns of those people are because they can’t get around it and he’s been very smart and it’s very powerful what he’s leaving in place.”

These simpleton Dems are so inherently corrupt, they gamely accept the govt compiling info on US citizens. Too stupid to reason that surveillance on citizens is a tactic of a Third World totalitarian regime ........AND IS NOT DONE in a constitutional republic.

Really? Billions have disappeared while Obunghole was in office. The money was sent, not to shovel ready jobs, but the coffers of hundreds of NGO's around the country just waiting to be spent.

[[Obama just won’t have the budget and resources he had]]

He spent over $1.5 BILLION DOLLARS on himself every single year as president- (and likely even higher towards the end)- He likely spent over $15 BILLION DOLLARS on himself for 8 years- and you just know that some of that money made it’s way into things that would benefit himself once he was out of office-

“keep tabs” is that another word for spying?

Let as a question.

Obama is “keep tabs” on Trump

Trump is “keep tabs” on Obama

What would the press think of statement one vs statement two

Aaron Burr was charged, arrested, and tried for treason after his stint as vice-President.

Just saying.
