Team Obama was spying broadly on the incoming administration.
California Rep. Adam Schiff may not offer much by way of substance, but give him marks for political flimflam. The ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee was so successful at ginning up fake outrage over his Republican counterpart that he successfully buried this week’s only real (and bombshell) news.
Mr. Schiff and fellow Democrats spent this week accusing Chairman Devin Nunes of carrying water for President Trump, undermining the committee’s Russia investigation, and hiding information. The press dutifully regurgitated the outrage, as well as Mr. Schiff’s calls for Mr. Nunes to recuse himself from the investigation into possible Russian electoral meddling.
All this engineered drama served to deep-six the important information Americans urgently deserve to know. Mr. Nunes has said he has seen proof that the Obama White House surveilled the incoming administration—on subjects that had nothing to do with Russia—and that it further unmasked (identified by name) transition officials. This is goes far beyond a mere scandal. It’s a potential crime.
Mr. Nunes earlier this week got his own source to show him a treasure trove of documents at a secure facility. Here are the relevant details:
First, there were dozens of documents with information about Trump officials. Second, the information these documents contained was not related to Russia. Third, while many reports did “mask” identities (referring, for instance, to “U.S. Person 1 or 2”) they were written in ways that made clear which Trump officials were being discussed. Fourth, in at least one instance, a Trump official other than Mr. Flynn was outright unmasked. Finally, these documents were circulated at the highest levels of government.
To sum up, Team Obama was spying broadly on the incoming administration.

Meanwhile Professor Obama had no comment as he and Ginger are far far away on Gilligan’s island ( or should we say Brando’s Island) and hard at work on his $60 million dollar book
>>he and Ginger are far far away
**********************************
I don’t think Big Mike is with him, is he?
Anyone who discovers real evidence in this investigation is immediately called upon to recuse himself
Meanwhile Trump,is flamed for not showing evidence of his charges
It’s democrat bizarro world and we are having to put up with it because of that smug look on Paul Ryan’s face and that post turtle from Kentucky who,supposedly runs the Senate
He got off the plane Tahiti with a couple of guys and a well endowed young woman - covering all his bases I suppose
PS Maybe it was Mary Ann not Ginger
PPS he has plenty of allowance money for mai tais and massages thanks to flying out to Nebraska for tacos with Thurston and Lovey ( aka Warren Buffet and his wife) a week befire he fled
Of course, this could be the WSJ’s sick idea of an April Fools Day joke.
Well the article is dated 3/31.
Strassel is a fairly straight shooter from what I have seen.
Her last book, The Intimidation Game: How the Left Is Silencing Free Speech, leads me to believe she “gets it” and I have seen her on various fox programs and she is not a leftist or an antiTrumper.
Funny how you say that....I don’t recall that remark by Hitlery.
But I work in close proximity to a couple of Trump haters. One of them recently suggested to the other (they speak to “each other” in my hearing—on purpose, I believe) that Trump might be hanged for treason because...wait for it...the Russians tried to break into Marco Rubio’s campaign database.
I hope so. The media is quiet so far this morning.
Not hearing much about how Trump has supposedly invited people to the White House to SEE SOME OF THE EVIDENCE....the media isn’t reporting that fact....
It was reported that she made that remark right after she was interviewed by Matt Lauer. She was furious that he asked her a question that they hadn’t previously told her she would be asked. As she was walking off the stage, she went foaming raving mad, screaming at everyone. Her rule is that no one is allowed to have any cell phone recording device around her, so it was not able to be recorded. But it was overheard by reporters who relayed what they had witnessed.
Lock her up.
I also want to comment that I fully expect the spooks to stay true to form as they plant their “evidence” on Rubio (and others) computers to frame our President.
From the way they talk and from what I hear, I am pretty well convinced if they are not successful in their proceedings, they will take to the streets in armed conflict.
Either way, this is not going to end well for America.
It will come out over the next 4 years as the Trump Administration further settles in, like a spring freshet becoming a torrential flood. We will be so disgusted that the deep state malefactors will fear for their lives.
The WH letter to Nunes and Schiff specifically refers to the Farkas March 2, 2017 appearance on MSNBC.
I believe you are right. I see this as the first brick in the wall.
New fake news story line today - Flynn seeking immunity
fake news story line continuing from yesterday - Trump declares political war against conservatives
Just saying, not quiet, but as always, driving the narrrative it wants the public to adopt.
You mean the ghostwriter is hard at work. Obama never wrote anything in his life.
Well well well. And we can count on the enemy Dia to completely bury this with their *lead* story that Flynn has cut some sort of deal to testify. Yet THIS is the real story. Put Valerie on the stand...
Nuh, uh!!! Look at my shocked face{s}.
Should have read”EneMEDIA”, not..Dia
So many hearings and investigations, yet no one is ever held responsible, fired or jailed. Lock them up!
