> Trump have the guts to prosecute?
Trump should stay out of it for now (IMO). And congress won’t touch it.
Comey, Rogers, and one or two others from the intelligence agencies should be very loudly demanding prosecution. They are the ones who want as much surveillance power as possible. They should accept responsibility for its use/misuse and call out misuse to show they can manage their capabilities responsibly.
If they can’t track misuse they shouldn’t have the capability. If they allow this misuse they can’t have the capability. They should be finding violators and demanding long prison terms for anyone who misuses it. They should take a recommendation to Sessions, rather than Trump telling Sessions to go to them. (or some interaction in the direction of them approaching prosecutors with evidence of crimes, whatever the proper process is)
But the spying started looooong ago.
With Trump, there is ALWAYS strategy involved!
Evan McMillan, “former” CIA agent, tried to screw with Trump’s EC prospects by running in Utah. Turned out it didn’t matter, but it very well could have been the difference between us having today a President Trump vs. the nightmare scenario of a President Hillary Clinton.
Also, FYI - Trump used the same to describe him: https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/310852-trump-calls-evan-mcmullin-mcmuffin-in-rally-speech
Joe DeGenova, on WMAL radio’s “Mornings on the Mall,” said that he had a very good idea of the names of the other 3 people who accessed the NSA records along with Susan Rice. However, he did not want to give them out yet. My interpretation: I know who they are but don’t have solid confirmation, thus not making the accusation right now.
Excellent, excellent original material..!
Amazing post.
This would bring an incredible story into some seriously uncharted territory.
“From what Ive read Obama has escaped to some place in the Pacific with which weve no extradition treaty. Other potential suspects/witnesses may be in hiding as well.”
Professor Obama is hiding out on Gilligan’s Island (actually Brando’s Island) while a buxom young Mary Ann and a couple of husky dudes ghost write his $60 million dollar memoirs...or something
It was supposed to be a 30 day tour....check David Geffen’s yacht schedule
Sessions has not recused himself from this investigation. It has nothing to do with the Russians.
In any event, there is more than one competent employee in the Justice Department...
It really does come down to does Trump have the guts and how much will the republicans obstruct him.
Well done!
Rice had no fear about leaving tracks because Hillary was a shoe-in. She must have s*it on 11/8 when DJT won. She (and others) need to be arrested, prosecuted and sent to jail. The GOPe better not cut her a break.
The scandal is the Obama administration weaponizing intelligence agencies against political foes, then releasing classified information illegally gathered to friendly hacks in the media. Trump, his family, his political team, and his associates are all the victims. I wouldn’t b surprised if similar intelligence was gathered on GOP members of congress, donors, and conservatives in the media.
Of course, “everyone knew” Hillary would win and nobody would be held to account. But this Obama dossier may (should) land some of Obama’s most loyal jack boots in federal prison.
The FBI is, apparently, an "independent agency," which means their director does the bidding of the MSM-Democrats.
I beg to differ on this. This is way beyond the House and Senate right now. They do not have prosecutorial powers, and since it now involves people who are no longer in government it's probably outside their oversight authority for all intents and purposes. It is now a criminal matter.
For the players involved, there may be major civil lawsuits as well. I'm thinking particularly of Mike Flynn, who is now a civilian and has every right to address these matters in civil court.
Awaiting further instructions from Mike Morell who's in heavy consultation with Sid Blumenthal?
The written standard for unmasking is “foreign intelligence value”, a very low threshold and darn near any bullshit story will do.
Rice is not at legal risk for unmasking, nor Obama even if it can be proven he ordered it.
The only person in legal jeopardy is the LEAKER.
Sessions’ recusal applies to the Russian fiction. He hasn’t recused himself from felonies committed by the former administration. Nunes said what he viewed had nothing to do with the Russian investigation.
It will be interesting to see with the unmasking first took place as in before Trump won the nomination.
They'll choose door number 2.
If they charge Rice, the headlines will be something like:
"In Nod to his KKK Supporters, Trump Starts Jailing Successful Black Figures"
