1. The original surveillance in the summer of 2016 (if not earlier) had nothing to do with "Russia" and everything to do with simply spying on the Trump campaign for political reasons.
2. The whole "Russian election interference" angle to the story was fabricated after Election Day as an ex post facto narrative that would be used to retroactively justify the illegal surveillance.
3. I may never be 100% certain of this last point, but I am at about a 90% certainty right now: What outraged the Obama-Clinton cabal more than anything else was that the Trump team knew they were under surveillance, and took advantage of this by using it to feed false information to the CIA-FBI people who were leading this.
Sometimes I wish they wouldn’t telegraph their punches
Tulsi has fearlessness from heritage.
I was maybe naively thinking Bondi could learn some of that fearlessness from Tulsi. One can hope.
I strongly disagree with your premise. What he (Obama) is accused of doing has absolutely nothing to do with “election integrity”. He is accused of attempting to subvert the will of The People by foisting a false narrative upon thr duly elected President Of The United States, thereby poisoning any attempt at governing on his (Trump) part.
I think the deciding factor would be whether, as president, either Trump or Obama were acting in good faith. In the case of Trump and the alternate electors, the SCOTUS decision, as I understand it, says that the president is entitled to a presumption of innocence when engaging in core presidential functions. To prove that Trump acted criminally, you’d have to prove that he believed he lost fair and square and yet attempted to use alternate electors as part of a scheme to remain in power anyway. There is no compelling proof that that was the case. On the contrary.
Now applying the same sort of reasoning to the Obama example, Obama would be entitled to the same presumption of innocence. But what’s different between the Obama example and the Trump example is that there is evidence that Obama DIDN’T believe that Russia interfered in the election. In fact all the evidence he was receiving from his intelligence reports indicated that there was no Russian interference. And yet Obama gave instructions to the intelligence community to rewrite their report on the matter so that it came to a different conclusion. As far as I can tell, he provided no additional intelligence to argue his case. He just gave instructions to the intel community to come to a conclusion that they didn’t really believe and that Obama apparently didn’t believe either.
I don’t know that we have the entire picture yet, but it’s beginning to look like there’s growing proof that Obama knowingly used his presidential powers fraudulently. That’s a game changer and takes away the protections that SCOTUS says he’s entitled to.
Obama is toast. Will go down in history as a gigantic fraud and seditious monster.
The American people didn’t send Trump to the White House. The States did through the Electoral College. To say otherwise is to reinforce direct democracy and deprecate the Republic.
18 U.S. Code 371 is a general statute that codifies federal conspiracy laws. Because conspiracy charges can be prosecuted even if no crime was committed, these can be brutal accusations for defendants and their legal representation to fight.
[F]ederal prosecutors can prove there was a conspiracy by showing that the people involved worked together to commit a federal offense. Simply put, conspiracy is an agreement crime that says it is wrong to pursue a goal.

Same day w/ Harris and a smirking Hillary.
The rest of what PDJT said:
“... and so were the rest of them. Comey, Clapper, the whole group.”
“They tried to rig a whole election and GOT CAUGHT!”

He’s got all the cards, and 0 and his fellow conspirators have none.

Here’s the duplicitous Obama at President Trump’s swearing -in ceremony, knowing he had set in motion the Hillary-financed “get Trump” hoax. Did the perspicacious Trump have an inkling the dastardly pretender Obama was about to be exposed as a traitor who plotted the ruination of US democracy?
“
I think so; look at the picture of PDJT pointing at 0 some time after that pic was taken.
😂

Not enough yet
* The claim will be, “Russia, influenced the election, and in doing so thus, helped elect President Trump.
* There will have to be direct hard “paper trail” 🗞️💻evidence that the Imposter and his Conspirators, planted the story itself. Something along the line of the Nixon Tapes.
(A counter”confession” from Russia itself would never be believed either.)
Will see tomorrow...
