Sharyl Atkisson on Spygate: Sure looks like FBI's operation against Trump was political
The Washington Times ^ | Thursday, May 24, 2018 | Larry O'Connor

Tuesday, we broke down how based on publicly disclosed information, it is a logical and reasonable conclusion that politics played a major role in the origins of the FBI’s counterintelligence operation involving the Trump campaign and alleged connections with the Russian government.

Wednesday, investigative reporter Sharyl Atkisson amplified this idea at The Hill and laid out a devastating case:

(T)here’s a growing appearance of alleged wrongdoing equally as insidious, if not more so, because it implies widespread misuse of America’s intelligence and law enforcement apparatus.

Atkisson lays out eight major indications that the operation was directed at Trump, not the Kremlin, and was politically motivated.

Her observations include the plethora of wiretaps:

Secret surveillance was conducted on no fewer than seven Trump associates: chief strategist Stephen Bannon; lawyer Michael Cohen; national security adviser Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn; adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner; campaign chairman Paul Manafort; and campaign foreign policy advisers Carter Page and George Papadopoulos.

It also explains her break-in at home and theft of computer and files.
Many people doesn’t want this to go any further.

Nobody has been brought to justice for spying on this reporter.

There is no justice, and the Apparatchik run the country, not the politicians.

The Apparatchik is communist, and will destroy anyone that gets in their way.

Clapper’s claim that he was spying on the Trump campaign in order to protect it from the Russians was no different than the typical pedophile’s excuse when he’s caught trying to lure the little boy into his car with a promise of candy: “I wanted to teach him a lesson because there are so many pedophiles around.”

“We were spying on Trump to protect him.”

Reminds me of a famous quote from the Vietnam war...

“It became necessary to destroy the village...in order to save it’, a United States major said today.

Sharyl Atkisson. Hannity pronounces it as though it has an “N” in the middle. Atkinson, if you please. I’m surprised SHE never corrected him.

The State media told us immediately after the election that 17 Intelligence agencies confirmed that Russia had hacked the election and Trump was complicit.

All !7 agencies could not be wrong. The State media then began to report leak after leak from “sources” on the evil doings.

Can’t wait for the book to be written on this whole debacle. This will unfold over the next few years. It’s not going away. Trump has seized control over all the power levers in the city. Drip...drip....drip......

Fun question for diehard liberals:

Would you think any more highly of President Trump if he
lets Obama, Clinton, Lynch, Brennan, Clapper, Comey,
McCabe, Rosenstein, Yates, Powers, and the other
assorted felons off the hook for their crimes against his
campaign, his administration, and the American people?

....didnt think so....
