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.

They weren’t ‘spying’. They were planting evidence and suspicion.

Exactly the hard left,Schiff types, have yet to prove that any foreign entity had anything more to do with elections than what is normal for opposing regimes that target the US 24/7.

Just too good. The only thing I would have added would have been a muzzie prayer rug draped across his shoulder.

If the intelligence community were really investigating Russia, they would have been investigating the contacts and relationships with Hillary Clinton and her campaign as well as Trump’s. They were not.

Once Bernie Sanders became a threat to Hillary, I wonder if the FBI decided to “protect” him as well?

Because speed is the most important factor in this entire thing right now, huh?

Sheesh, that is the least important thing.

Getting all the little duckies in a row is the most important and critical factor, making certain that when he moves, he kills the king.

The king being the Deep State, and kills being the prosecution and imprisoning of the Deep State members.

THAT is what the great coverup is all about. Protecting Obama. The FBI and DOJ know that just one thread could unravel the entire thing and expose White House involvement.

Obama would not be prosecuted anyway. The only thing that would happen is his reputation - and the Left's - would take a temporary hit. And this would quickly be spun away with some sort of mass MSM/DNC rationalization like: "This action was necessary because of how evil Trump is - and look what he has done since taking office! We were right to do it!"

Seems like a lot of damage is being done to our institutions just to stave off a temporary dent in Obama's halo.

Unless they are hiding something a lot bigger - the revelation of which really would trigger a civil war. Like that government resources were being spent enacting some Clinton Foundation/Soros master plan for the mass replacement of unruly American and European citizens with compliant Third World slaves. If Brennan, et al, are true believers, that would explain their frantic behavior lately - once exposed, such a plan would be dead for generations.
