Obama spying looks even worse than Trump claimed Intel source bombshell
WND ^ | March 31, 2017 | Garth Kant

The spying by the Obama administration on then-presidential candidate Donald Trump reportedly was even worse than what he has alleged.

And it had nothing to do with Russia but everything to do with politics.

Sources in the intelligence community claim the potentially illegal revealing of names, or unmasking, of people in the Trump camp who were under surveillance was done purely “for political purposes” to “hurt and embarrass (candidate) Trump and his team.”

The bombshell revelations come from rank and file members of the intelligence community who are fighting back against a stonewall by the leaders at the nation’s spy agencies, according to Fox News.

Reporter Adam Housley said the sources are “not Trump” people but are “frustrated with the politics that is taking place in these (intelligence) agencies.”

And what they have revealed is amazing. Here is what they told Fox:

1) Surveillance targeting the Trump team during the Obama administration began months ago, even before the president had become the GOP nominee in July.

2) The spying on the Trump team had nothing to do with the collection of foreign intelligence or an investigation into Russia election interference.

3) The spying was done purely “for political purposes” that “have nothing to do with national security and everything to do with hurting and embarrassing Trump and his team.”

4) The person who did the unmasking was someone “very well known, very high up, very senior in the intelligence world, and is not in the FBI.”

5) Congressional investigators know the name of at least one person who was unmasking names.

6) The initial surveillance on the Trump team led to “a number of names” being unmasked.

He is staying at a place that costs, I believe, 10,000/wk. He may not be paying that, but staying as an invited guest, but if true, someone is missing out on a lot of money.

It's $2600 PER NIGHT... for a 1 bedroom.... $10,000 per night for a 3 bedroom (not including taxes... at least this time of year which is off season.

... and then there's 5% VAT and 5% RPT plus 4% Service Charge plus 2% Service & Community charge (plus another 15% VAT). Basic food and drink included, but "premium food and drinks are extra).

Free massage and WiFi.

Who knows how many rooms his Secret Service requires while he's there

He just tweeted that the spying was going on even before the Convention.

February 16, 2016 Obama said the following about Trump!!

Obama Says Trump Won't Be President: ‘It's Not Hosting a Talk Show’

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/obama-hits-trump-reality-show-past-win-presidency/story?id=36986828

http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2016/02/16/obama-trump-president_n_9247852.html

....”The president did not say whether he thought Trump could land the Republican Party nomination, but did lambast the GOP for its savage rhetoric during the primary process that leaves “foreign observers are troubled.” The president said international observers were particularly troubled by the GOP’s anti-scientific stance towards climate change and its flirtation with anti-Muslim bigotry.....”

If Trump knew about it since January then he knew about it before the Mike Flynn debacle unflolded. This may have been the real reason Flynn resigned. He is now a private citizen and a crime victim ... which means he has every right to pursue every legal avenue against those criminals.

As much as Trump and most of us hate/despise Hill, she is not a priority during this Trumpgate Issue.

If she was involved, she will become collateral damage.

some believe the following verses talk about the growing islamic invasion that will ‘crush the feet’ of any and all great nations from within- note that the verses state they will mingle with, but NOT assimilate into, the cultures that they become a part of- Islam destroys from within- they move in, and slowly but surely take over- forcing people to comply out of fear- nation after nation is falling prey to the islamic invaders- and these nations are so afraid to stand yup against them that they hide the fact that rapes, murders, etc and the muslims are destroying the national laws and enstatign their own islamic laws- whole swaths of areas in some of these nations are ruled by sharia- where regional law officials are too afraid to go in and stop- Islam IS taking over these countries- and the muslims are NOT assimilating into their host nation’s cultures and laws-

That’s right... he can do way more damage to the RATS than Trump can, and after how he was treated, the People will be quite sympathetic.

I really am thinking it was Susan Rice.

Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., has known about the unmasking since January.

Well most of us knew about the unmasking when details of recorded conversations were first leaked.

all he said was basically that he saw nothing that would require Nunes to brief the President before he briefed the members of the committee.


Weasel word lawyer speak... He didn’t say “ nothing the committee or the president should have been briefed on” which has a whole different meaning.

Also, he has already started his CYA by saying “ who knows if this hasn’t been altered” before the committees see it....

They always have a “ yeah but” to cover their butts

It is a terrible thing to say but this behavior is so typical of Obama et.al. Do not forget how this embarrassment became US Senator. He did so by opening up his adversary's sealed divorce records. Obama et.al are disgusting, just disgusting.

He was also responsible for breaking into GA, IN and who knows who else’s SOS databases. Is he in-country right now?

To get into the WH campus, e.g. the old executive office buidling you walk through a gate on 17th street where you present your credentials and they check your name against the list of those screened and approved by the SS for visits on that day. Everyone in D.C. knows that, including the idiot reporters.

And getting past that point does not get you anywhere near getting into the white house. And the reporters know that fact too. It is all public posturing by little children who would have been expelled from kindergarten for that kind of behavior.

The timeline:

2-14-17: Mike Flynn resignation.

3-4-17: President Trump tweets: “Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my ‘wires tapped’ in Trump Towers just before the victory”.

3-13-17: Obama pays surprise visit to Honolulu, then flees to Fiji. Has not been on American soil since.

he has every right to pursue every legal avenue against those criminals.

The electronic surveillance statute provide Flynn with a civil cause of action including actual damages, statutory damages, punitive damages and legal fees against the individuals as individuals (not just against the government). It is the legal fees that will ruin these folks (both his and their own).
