Justice Department officials delivered materials to the House and Senate Intelligence Committees on Friday in connection to President Trump's claim that the Obama administration had his campaign headquarters wiretapped.
"The Department of Justice has complied with the request from leaders of the House and Senate Intelligence Committees and Judiciary Committees seeking information related to surveillance during the 2016 election," Justice Department spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores told CNN.

Obama lies all the time (you already know that).
FISA TIMELINE
June 2016: FISA request. The Obama administration files a request with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) to monitor communications involving Donald Trump and several advisers. The request, uncharacteristically, is denied.
October 2016: FISA request. The Obama administration submits a new, narrow request to the FISA court, now focused on a computer server in Trump Tower suspected of links to Russian banks. No evidence is found — but the wiretaps continue, ostensibly for national security reasons.
===========================================
The Obama wire-tapping gang WILL have to face the music.
(JIM0216 hat tip)......the issue isn't whether Trump was wiretapped (Obama admitted such and there's a FISA paper trail...... warrants issued for the wiretapping). The issue is whether there was probable cause to issue a warrant. Probable cause is defined as the reasonable likelihood that a crime is or has been committed by the person or at the place designated........
===============================================
(REAGANGENERATION2 HAT TIP)---Trump should be able to review all 2 or 3 FISA requests (if he hasn’t already), and then let Congress determine if the requesters lied about the probable cause justifying them......then (1) you’d prove perjury, and, even worse, (2) the intent was to abuse executive power.
===========================================
A good beginning....and then it gets downright lethal for the Obama gang:
Via Breitbart, JOHN HAYWARD observed that the FISA court may have approved a warrant submitted without Trump’s name but “which Obama then misused to spy on Trump and many connected to Trump.”
Ergo the most serious legal jeopardy that might be faced would be (a) perjury for lying to the FISA court, and, (b) the dissemination of collected intelligence that should have been kept tightly classified.
===========================================
It is also entirely possible that Obama and his legal team may have perjured themselves before the FISA court by willfully withholding material information in order to manipulate the FISA court’s willingness to permit the government surveillance.
FALSIFYING GOVT DOCUMENTS would fall under the Crimes Act of 1958. Moreover, falsifying official documents is the criminal MO to hide larger crimes.
EXCERPT A person falsifying documents can be held criminally liable if they are deliberately acting with the intention of deceiving or defrauding another party.
Falsifying documents is a very serious offense and is generally classified as a felony. This means that a person charged with falsifying documents may be subject to the following legal penalties:
◾Having to pay a monetary fine
◾Incarceration in a prison facility
Depending on the gravity of the offense, as well as individual state laws, falsifying documents can result in a prison sentence of 5-10 years.
And if official government documents or govt authorities were involved, the legal penalties may be more severe. Legal penalties may increase with repeat offenses.
Many different types of acts can be considered as falsifying a document, including:
◾Altering or misrepresenting fact-based information
◾Stating false information when requested to provide truthful statements
◾Forging a signature
◾Using official letterheads without authorization
◾Knowingly using or distributing a fake document
The penalty for falsifying government documents is outlined in the Crimes Act of 1958. (excerpt)
[ DOJ sends wiretap materials to congressional investigators ]
Gee wonder if it’s been scrubbed of pertinent facts. Or, if, in the end, “they could find no reasonable prosecutor”, etc. etc.
Maybe I’m too cynical these days (after 8 years of Lying Obama, Lying Hillary, Lying Nancy Pelosi, et al).
He ought to be anyway.
Wisconsin is my second home, the home of my Wife and the Green Bay Packers...You’ve done well Badgers! (Beat The #1 seed today!)
Sara Carter and John Solomon
It was a hard-won, but a SWEET VICTORY! It has been such an Up-N-Down season! I’m exhausted, LOL!
See you at Madison Square Garden! Wheeee!
Go, Badgers! :)
obama has NO qualms about using ANY means to get what he wants. He has no regards for the law... he believes he is exempt to any and all rules/laws. I don’t know how his mother and grandparents raised this kid, but they did a number on him somewhere along the road.. for he is the most corrupt snake we’ve had in our government. There are others, but none do it like obama does it! He plays the nice guy to those who want to believe him... and does it with the condescending attitude the rest of us recognize as the ‘snake’.
These Dims doing these possible criminal acts, would certainly put that LONG FACE on Sinator DiFi — when she was told about it, like by Comey.
[ btw: 0’s mother didn’t raise him. She took off, living in X ]
In your opinion this material makes Feinstein grim faced because she found out that it exposes Obama and the Dems to be the criminals that they are?
He had to hurry, before DOJ sent anything. These people are so full of sh!t it’s leaking out their ears.
I can’t wait
PIIIIIIING
I think Comey told them the Trump / Russia connection is a big fat zero.
Well there is that as well, which makes the media look even more like the liars they are and the DNC even more defunct! No one will ever believe them anymore!
That is exactly right. We were told that in no uncertain terms by our political leaders on both sides of the isle, and their word is as good as gold. /spit
