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

Posted on 04/01/2017 9:15:00 AM PDT by COUNTrecount

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.

We the People need to see evidence, from named sources. Until then, it is all hearsay and will be rebutted by the Lefties with more of their own.

Good point you raised. If they didn’t know for sure who the nominee would be, why wouldn’t they spy on ALL of them?

This helps explain why schiff and the other dems on the committee are angry; either they were involved in the spying or they had complete knowledge of it and tacitly approved. They wanted the news first so they could get ahead of the story and put their spin on it, or quash it entirely.

An acquaintance on Facebook posted a story I thought was a joke on Trump being insane on spying, so I posted this information source. They thought my true news post was a joke, then blew up and unfriended me for being serious.

Every week, the story grows worse from Clinton mishandling classified data for personal convenience to:
* Obama used Russia as an excuse to spy on Trump’s team during and after election.
* Gave classified spy data to everyone he could to have it used against Trump
* Clinton left SoS and continued to receive this type of information (a separate security violation)
* Leaking is a crime - and this is a conspiracy by the DNC to have secret data leaks of illegal spying
* The intelligence community has been hacking people’s systems and makes it look like Russia and China did it, so any evidence they show likely mean THEY did it to justify their data collection.

Doesn’t matter. If they get told they were surveilled, they would shrug it off as no big deal. To protect Obama and make Trump look foolish. Moreover they’d do it because they’re cuck gope.

Unfortunately, Trump has to drain the swamp in intelligence to stop the leaks, punish those who used the power of the state to interfere in the US election and remove those disloyal to elected officials (the deep state). Only then can he move forward without being held back by a bureaucracy unaccountable to anyone but Progressive principles.

His tweet that Obama had "wiretapped" him was a warning to the country that something really big is coming.

Yuuuge troll on the Democrats.

When Trump first tweeted everyone went "WTF", but Trump already knew about this stuff and that it would come out.

If Mary Ann Marsh and Farkas knew about the spying....

He has just waited until the prime moment to present it...

He was waiting for his DNI to take office 3/16/2017.

Trump and Sessions have to do this legally.

We are not Nazi Germany or Soviet Russia pre WWII and during WWII.

He’s been on the job for five weeks.

How do you know what he is investigating?

“...This means that Trump has known all along also...”

This was my very first thought as well. (GMTA)

And I never doubted President Trump for one second. When he sent that tweet about “wiretapped” I was 100% confident that he would be back to back this up with proof.

Or more importantly the fact that EVERY OTHER country interfered to defeat Trump. Merkel gave Clinton MILLIONS. Mexican officials are openly campaigning for Hillary and fighting Trump every step of the way. British Intel was composing fake do dossiers. It goes on and on.

#10 is very interesting...

“7) House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., has known about the unmasking since January.

8) Two sources in the intelligence community told Nunes who did the unmasking and told him at least one of the names of someone in the Trump team who was unmasked. The sources also gave Nunes the serial numbers of the classified reports that documented the unmasking.

9) It took Nunes a number of weeks to figure out how to see those intelligence reports because the intelligence agencies were stonewalling him, and not allowing the chairman or other people to see them.

10) There were only two places Nunes could have seen the information: where the sources work, which would have blown their cover; and the Eisenhower Executive Office building on the White House grounds, which houses the National Security Council and has computers linked to the secure system containing the reports he sought.

11) Nunes got access to that system on March 21 with the help of two Trump administration officials.”
