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.

While Dennis Montgomery may not be the most reliable source, I wouldn't be surprised if Joe Arpaio or Mike Zullo alerted Trump to the info that Montgomery was providing to those two. I wouldn't be surprised if he knew this very early on. The question now is, was he the only candidate surveilled? I doubt it.

You know what I am beginning to think? I think obamas perfect 24 hour a day spy system, has been spying on obama as well, and Trump has access to that info now....

Time for Trump to Investigate Obama and his SoreA$$ and jihadist thugs.

Potus Trump can have Admiral Rodgers or Jeff Sessions to ask the new Brit GCHQ director, Jeremy Fleming, to monitor Obama, Jarrett, Comedy, Clapper, Brennan, Pelosi,Schumer, and George $oreA$$, using the Muscular Program that was used to monitor Trump, Flynn, other Trump people and us!

POTUS is the ultimate consumer of the end product of any intel process. So, he can start monitoring the above without any FISA actions/warrants like Obama did with him in 2016/17 by having AGA Sessions request monitoring of Obama by the UK's GCHQ. Then GCHQ can ask their Aussie cousins in Pine Gap, Australia to monitor Obama and his co criminals while in FIJI.

The new Brit GCHQ director, Jeremy Fleming, can then use Muscular to surveil/monitor the CEO's of Faux/WSJ, ABCNNBCBS, Ny/La Slimes, Compost, and any other so called news mag in America/the world to see who is paying them for their anti America propaganda posing as news!

Are the big ears in Pine Gap, Australia, tuned into Zero’s text and voice messages?

Thanks to ptsal for the above.

So the Russians are the ones who were "incidentally" spied on?

“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 and a crime victim ... which means he has every right to pursue every legal avenue against those criminals.”

Get it on record that Flynn was spied on/monitored and then illegally exposed that he was a target of spying/monitoring due to Obama.

I suspect this was the only possible route to enable doing just that. They found the chink in the stonewall and the person to go through it.

The understated fact behind these comments is: surveillance was being done on US citizens.

Remember Ed Snowden? He said the gov’t was Hoovering-up content as well as metadata and the government calle him a liar. THEY are the ones doing the lying, because they know the public outrage would be unprecedented if we actually knew that Snowdwn was right. THey looked right into the cameras and flat-out lied.

How do I know? I don’t really, but I do know this because they’ve admitted it: They use NarusInsight machines that can suck up 10 gigabytes per second of data. All voice traffic now is data, all internet traffic - basically everything you say or do into a machine is digital data and that’s what NSA captures. They may not transcribe but a fraction of it and they may not keep it forever, but they have the content, not just the metadata.

Experts say that it’s possible to select an individual and have all of his past data brought up in one file, as well as all future data being flagged for review. And that’s just what they did. People know this.

He says it is for a month.

I suspect a year or more.

I noticed McCain fled the US for a few weeks, he may reprise that when it is shown McCain is neck-deep in all of this.

Has anyone given thought that the real person behind this all is...

The gal pal, who lived in the private living quarters, rent FREE for eight years and who is known to control, B. HUSSEIN OBAMA, NAMED VALERIE JARRETT?

JUST WONDERING.

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

It was leaked to McCain too, he referenced it while being pranked by those Ukrainian radio guys.

Here’s something to consider: Experts who have left the government say this kind of surveillance began shortly after 9/11/2001. Remember the mood of the country at that time, and the unprecedented act GWB took.

Consider then that this surveillance may have it’s roots back that far. Yes it’s been expanded under Obama but could his “get out of jail” card simply be proof that this was all “inherited”?

I know many here don’t like GWB or his father or neocon staff but that’s not the question. The question is, if Obama can promise to bring Bush down too, is that sufficient leverage to keep him immune from prosecution and to keep this whole dirty business buried?

Once again, there’s not a dime’s worth of difference between the two parties.

She is involved.

Brennan,Lynch, Clapper or the scumbag in charge of Homeland would be probables re the power to order the surveillance of Trump.

He can’t stay there forever.

Why not? I understand that the Ødungos left town 750 million richer than they came. (And why not - they never paid a personal expense for eight years!).
