The Trump wiretapping scandal is still in the first stages. It has been shown that in fact, the Obama administration did actively wiretap Donald Trump, and has lead to a plethora of “leaks: that the mainstream media has made front and center to attempt to delegitimize the new President. It was operatives of the Obama administration who used these leaks allegedly procured through this illegal wiretapping that have been creating this entire Russian false story in an attempt to turn the American people against Trump. This is the same administration that brought the American people the lies about Fast and Furious, the IRS, and many others. This is an administration that had one attorney General found in contempt of Congress, and another taking the Fifth Amendment. And now this same administration is asking the American people to believe MORE lies about our present President.
What is even more appalling than the illegal wiretapping that, if not done by Obama, was directed by him to the NSC and FBI is the fact top Republicans and Democrats knew about this surveillance and said nothing. Among those who knew and said nothing was House Speaker Paul Ryan, House minority leader Chuckie Shumer, and Senator John McCain and Senator Lindsay Graham.
In concert with the media it is being claimed that there is no proof that the wiretapping actually occurred. These are the same low lifes that are pushing a false narrative about Trumps Russian connections, even though the FBI has already stated there is no proof. Obama, in refuting this accusation claims that his administration ever ordered the wiretapping or interfered in any investigation being done by the DOJ. He is saying that he did not order it, but does not say that the administration did. This isn’t like the “Russian problem”, this accusation actually has documentation that shows what was done although the MSM will bury it and not let the American people know. It is a concerted effort by all those involved to hide the truth and ignoring the fundamental freedom of the American people to know what traitors to this country are doing.
There were multiple attempts by the FBI to obtain a warrant through the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, (FISA) over the summer to monitor four member of the Trump campaign because of what they felt was inappropriate contact between these men and Russian officials. This original attempt to gain a warrant was turned down. Another FBI request was accept by the FISA court in October of last year. The accepted warrant was centered around the possible financial and banking offenses that were allegedly found on a server that was possibly related to the Trump campaign. In essence, the Obama administration was monitoring the Trump campaign using the power of the federal governments intelligence services paid for by taxpayers.
The second FISA request, once again done by the FBI on Obamas orders led to the wiretapping of Trump. In the request it clearly states,
“No evidence was found- but the wiretaps continue”
The media, both local and national have already tried to make this story disappear while continuing to push a false “The Russians did it” storyline to do all they can to delegitimize our President. The concluded investigation into the Russians subverting our election has already be made known to the media and everyone in both parties, but the Democrats and the sycophants in the media can’t let go because they don’t have anything else and they are still hoping that the low information voters who barely watch much less comprehend local news will continue to believe it. Stories such as the Russian meddling in our elections has already been refuted, but sycophants such as the New York Times, the Washington Post and the progressive/socialist on the Democrat party refuse to let it go. They have nothing else, no policy, not way forward to bring the American people back to the Utopia that these Marxists and globalists have laid out for the country.
Couple Obamas changing of the rules to allow the NSA to share “evidence” with all other intelligence agencies just before leaving office, and it shows that Obama holdouts in intelligence can put out any false story they want, label it intelligence and not have to divulge where the “information” came from, putting even private citizens under the yoke of Obama infiltrated intelligence agencies.
They used this intel to take down Flynn by making it the lead story for weeks, and intended to do the same to Sessions until it came out that one of the meeting that everyone has been whining about was actually an event arranged by the the Obama administration. And Sessions did answer the question that Franken asked, he did not talk to any Russians about the campaign. The question now is, did the intelligence agencies set up the question to try and catch Sessions in a lie and force Trump to terminate him?
The FISA court has a very rigid set of rules that must be followed. The only valid reason for the court to approve surveillance is only foreign intelligence information is the information necessary to protect the United States against a potential or actual hostile attack, sabotage or international terror. It would be interesting to see which of these the MSM will pick to attempt to convince the American People that there was nothing criminal here.
Looking at the FISA court and why the warrant was ever issued in a challenge for the past administration, the courts, and is just another reason why the American people do not trust government. FISA should have had no part in this debacle as there was no relevant purpose to even issue the warrant, especially when based on the Obama administration withholding information that the court needed to make a determination. An affidavit was required by the FISA court to apply for the warrant. That affidavit was written and attested to by the Obama administration. If that affidavit concealed information from the court, which it apparently did, that affidavit must be made available to the Congress and the American people. It has been proven that although the main target was Donald Trump, his name in never mentioned in the warrant that FISA allowed. That is perjury and a serious violation, along with the dissemination of information on an American citizen from an investigation that in all instances should remain confidential.
It can’t be denied that the Obama administration used surveillance information and sent it to the mainstream media in leaks that are prosecutable. The investigation into this illegal process will continue. The American people will no longer turn a blind eye to the socialists, globalists and media that continue to feel we must follow what they feel is best for us. Obama and the members of his administration need to go to jail, Those Obama holdovers in this administration need to be gone, and those reporters who willingly spout lies and fake news need to find that the American people will no longer follow and will in the long term run them out of town on a rail as it should be.

@PhillipMarlowe:
How would you know? You don’t even know how to spell your first name. Now that we know the government was clearly attempting to make sure Hillary got elected, and the means and illegal acts they took to insure it, knowing that when she got elected, she would bury all the evidence. What they weren’t counting on was that blue collar workers would support Trump and not vote for Hillary in ‘guaranteed’ states, such as Michigan, Ohio, etc. Had they suspected this would happen, they would have gotten more dead voters to the polls in those states. The activities of Obama and the Dumbocraps make the Watergate deal seem like child’s play.
Marlowe, this is for you. it’s PHILIP, does not have two l’s. You should have not quit kindergarten until after you could spell your first name.
It most certainly can be denied: The assertion is total bullshit.
@Greg:
you’re talking ‘your’ assertion. Right?
“it’s PHILIP, does not have to l’s.”
“two”
“it’s PHILIP, does not have to l’s.”
“two”@Greg:
The democrats are getting scared.
Liberals will abide by anything, no matter how illegal, it if promotes the liberal agenda. I imagine there are quite a few that are not thinking of a police state but inadvertently are supporting the erosion of our civil liberties and privacy towards that end.
Like Bill Clinton did, Obama severed the connection between the FBI and CIA to share terrorist-fighting intelligence. Then, in his final days, he signed this. Wouldn’t the time to eliminate all legal barriers between intelligence agencies to share information have been at the BEGINNING of his administration, to facilitate the protection of national security and innocent citizens, rather than a last act as he walked out the door? How stupid does one have to be not to realize this and exactly WHAT this order was for?
@Greg: Sure it can be denied… and WILL continue to be denied. Just like the left denied the facts about Fast and Furious, supporting illegal immigration, the lies and incompetence around Benghazi, the IRS targeting attacks, national security failures, Hillary’s email national security failure, foreign policy failures and paying ransoms to Iranian terrorists. Deny away; the facts and truth are becoming known.
The Obama administration was such a banana republic government.
No other president in the entire 240 year history of america abused the power of office then did Obama his use of Executive orders his arming the drug cartels with american firearms(Fast & Furiuos)turning the IRS loose on conservative groups releasing convicts from prison opening our nations borders and bringing in so called refugees and other crimes against the american people he realy deserves life in prison no parole,no plea bargins no time off and no movie deals from hollywood scumballs like Spike Lee. Hey i read that Illinoise just rejected a attempt by some brain-dead liberal lawmaker to make Obamas birthday a satate holiday
bottom line is that the liberal media refuses to acknowledge the spying (let’s dispense with this ridiculous outmoded ‘wiretapping’) because it furthers their agenda……… the CIA and FBI directors pulled a CYA in front of the intelligence committee: “There ain’t now, nor ever has been no wiretapping in my department…”…thus the spying will continue unabated, and occasional juicy tidbits negative to Trump will be leaked……….
There were fully legal FISA authorizations to put suspicious foreign nationals under electronic surveillance—most likely with very good reason, given an emerging pattern of illegal hacking and carefully timed information leaks clearly designed to affect our presidential election—and then it turned out that some of the people they were having repeated contacts with were members of the Trump team. Is the argument that we must pretend these contacts didn’t happen, because the FISA warrants don’t apply to U.S. citizens?
This has every appearance of collusion. It’s also clearly part of a broader pattern. It would be negligence not to fully investigate such a situation, because it indicates the potential presence of an extremely serious national security threat—hostile foreign influences, which can possibly be exercised at critical moments directly inside our highest levels of government.
That possibility simply cannot be ignored. To do so would be a betrayal of the nation and of the trust of the American people.
@Redteam:
“dead voters to the polls”
That is what they call Ghost Voters in Chicago. ROTFLOL
@Redteam: aww, little reddy knows how to spell better than anyone dead or alive.
This nut cake wrote that Obama bugged Trump. Provides no evidence.
Reddy, how do you know Trump didn’t have Russian prostitutes piss on the same bed Obama slept on, to the delight of Trump?
@Bill… Deplorable Me: too bad this evil Obama wasn’t around long enough to take care of nuts like you, Dr John , this writer and Reddy.
@Esdraelon:
If it wasn’t for this bad leaking Trump would never have found out about Flynn’s Russian connection and that Flynn lied to Pence.
It’s good Trump found out about that, wasn’t it?
Oh they are backpeddling after months of..an inside unnamed source has told us… then air or print classified information. They get exposed by a “rabid right wing conspiacy theorist radio show host”, who simply quoted their reporting. Now they want to see his proof, proof what proof its YOUR news story. You named a private citizen (unmasked), you aired classified information, where did YOUR information and proof come from? It would have been so easy to track down the perp if the former Prez had not allowed all information to be shared across 16 intelligence agencies, even the Britts had access.
It wasn’t Russia that got Trump elected, it was a Drunk or ill Elite calling people names, off the campaign trail drying out or getting treatment. We didnt vote for someone who couldnt make it up stairs without help, at a bar campaigning before noon. It took 5 minutes to print up millions of deplorable T shirts. They sold better than a super secret password, I’m with her.
@kitt: kitt, what do you take – crank, LSD or PCP infused weed?
Inquiring minds want to know.
@PhillipMarlowe: Um….guess that’s one way to spin it…however, exactly what was Flynn’s ‘Russian Connection’? Every incoming administration has conversations with their foreign counterparts, or is Russia persona non grata due to the Democrats completely unsubstantiated and laughable claim that Russia interfered in the election?
It is, however, normal for intelligence agencies to eavesdrop on conversations with foreign leaders, but abnormal for the American counterpart in the conversation to have his identity revealed. Thus this was a completely malicious leak.
Personally I find it doubtful that Trump and Pence did not know that Flynn was having those conversations……but after the hypocritical media uproar Trump apparently felt he had to appease the sharks…that was his first mistake…….
@Greg: So you’re freely admitting there was surveillance of the Trump team, you just claim it was for a good reason. I’ll bet the CIA still claims it was for a good reason that they eliminated JFK.
@PhillipMarlowe: Well, I do know that Redteam is not spelled Reddy. Maybe one day you’ll figure out Philip is spelled Philip.
I’ll concede that Obama may have slept on a pissed on bed, it that makes you feel better.
@PhilipMarlowe:
You’re knowledgeable on all those supermarket drugs, are you Philip?
Maybe you could even tell us what ‘crank’ is.
@Redteam, #18:
There was lawfully authorized surveillance of foreign nationals who are known agents of an adversarial foreign power, who were suspected of working against the interests of the United States from within our own country. Their conversations were being monitored, and highly-placed members of the Trump organization turned out to be the other party in some of those conversations.
You’re suggesting they’re blameless because it wasn’t their fault that they got caught? That the whole issue of collusion and Russian influence is somehow Obama’s fault? I think maybe you need to find a different argument. This one isn’t working.
Lets flashback to 2013
This database was to be used for what?
Then there is the new CIA whistle blower who confirms spying. Information that the FBI sat on for 2 years, and only 2 months after a new President it comes to light, strange huh.
From it didn’t happen, to well it was legal, how do you know it was legal? Have the classified warrants been leaked?
We need to sit back and let the investigations go forward, ignore speculations rumors and opinion..er MSM in all forms. There is a proper way to bring this to light and Montgomery is taking it. 47 hard drives and hundreds of thousands of documents. This could take a minute.
@Greg:
The FBI and NSA have both stated there was NO improper contact or collusion.
Now, any viable suspicion should be investigated, but that should not include releasing information about Americans that have met with Russians in wholly innocuous circumstances in order to support the false accusations of Russians affecting the election.
Also, I can’t help but notice that there were no investigations of Hillary’s lucrative contacts with Russians or the Clinton campaign’s associations. Or, at least, none of THAT information was leaked.
@PhillipMarlowe:
Let’s see, remind me again who the fascists are, asshole? No doubt silencing the voices of reason and truth was important to Obama. Like everything else he set out to do, he failed at that, too.
Flynn, as National Security Advisor, had every right to talk with Russians. As has been proven, there was NO election collusion going on. Your weak-as excuse for why the worst candidate in history lost has fallen flat.
@Redteam:
I think he was a bed wetter.
@Greg:
Caught… what? That’s the whole problem; they never did anything wrong but it was sufficient to leak the information that they talked with Russians. Again, not a peep about any such investigations into Hillary’s well paying connections.
@Redteam: Crank?
Blue sky.
Google it lazy clown.
@Esdraelon: What was Flynn’s Russian connection?
Is wasn’t what he first told Team Trump and Pence.
That’s why he is gone from this administration.
He LIED to Pence. This administration told us, or are we not to believe them.
@Redteam: Reddy, I don’t need you to make me feel better.
I have a cat.
You still got the order of things wrong.
Obama slept on the bed.
Later, Trump allowed Russian prostitutes to piss on that same bed.
A story that has as much basis in the truth as the “Obama buggered Trump” meme floating on the haze here.
@Bill… Deplorable Me: Did you type something of substance?
@Greg:
I’m suggesting, since you freely admit that Trump was correct, that his team was being surveilled by the government, that should put an end to the claim that Trump was wrong. The persons that revealed the names of the Americans that were included, should be sent to prison for several years, as a minimum for committing a felony.. What has made you see the light?
@PhilipMarlowe: crank: to turn a crankshaft.
Philip.
@PhillipMarlowe:
Wow, is that supposed to make Obama feel better?
When the bottom is above you, you might think to stop digging, Philip
@PhilipMarlowe:
You’re still spreading that story?
Trump’s blaming everyone but himself. Only when this changes can Trump actually begin to LEAD.
Semper Fi
@Richard Wheeler: Do you still blame the Dimocrats for Viet Nam?
Russian Hack story was a hoax designed distract from the explosive contents on the DNC and Podesta email leaks, and also to bolster a failing Hillary Clinton campaign by discrediting Donald Trump as being somehow in league with the evil Russians.
If they keep pressing this story, it will only hurt the credibility of a Democratic Party that still refuses to admit the abject failures and corruption within of their political organization.
We knew it was BS when the DNC refused to hand over the evidence, then Crowdstrike proven to do a bogus investigation.
Were the Russians capable of hacking by solving such tricky passwords as passw0rd and imwithher?
Is the new administration getting too close to a nerve that now they want an independent prosecutor? Gee there are other serious crimes, the Monsanto EPA connection , what happened to seal team 6…jus sayin.
Forge on go for it you make such clever decisions.
They cost you both houses and the Presidency, what have you got to lose?
@Redteam: Lady, Miss Clawdy, are you stupid.
God, what must it be like in your small brain.
Crank
Blue Sky
Crystal Meth.
You need to get out of your enclave in the coastal cities and visit the vast middle of the country.
@Redteam: So you can’t copy correctly.
No surprise.
You, the clown author here, as well as Kitt, are the crankshafts spreading the Obama buggered Trump meme.
Reddy,
I feel sorry for you.
Can’t spell.
Can’t read.
Can’t drink.
Must be a miserable life.
@PhillipMarlowe:
See, that’s the problem with the left; you take a factual story and modify it to make it false. Obama hasn’t “buggered” Trump; he buggered America.
@PhillipMarlowe: let’s just set a few things straight here. I am the author of this piece, and I am not a clown. I happen tobe a 65 yearsold combat veteran who loves my country. You don’t know me nor do I know you.. You have been insulting to any who disagree with you which leads me to believe that you have no facts and are a Democrat or progressive/socialist if you like. I will not insult you nor will I allow you to carry on about those who disagree with you must be on drugs. I suggest you troll someone else. I researched the piece I wrote and stand behind everything said. You don’t do your side any good by just insulting people. You are not superior to the other people on this site, and have shown that factually you are nothing more than a walking talking Dem talking point.
@PhillipMarlowe: Likely we both would agree that if lying were the benchmark of what goes on inside the Beltway and being fired for such, Washington would be a veritable ghost town……..then who would fire the top tier liars….??
Something about that entire lying charade is off kilter, but we might ask what prompted Flynn to lie in the first place….the leaks and how they were made..Not excusing him at all and it’s better he is gone as the lying was an idiocy and if he didn’t realize it would come back and bite him on the tail, the country is better off without him……
Comey and the other CYA’s are up there ‘testifying’ that no ‘wiretapping’, thus no ‘leaks’, came out of their respective departments….so if they are not lying, where the H did those leaks originate? Who else had the capacity to listen in on such cyber conversations? Regardless of who leaked what, Flynn was made and forced Trump to react exactly as the Democrats were hoping…..
We had eight years of lies and other Constitutional infractions by the Zero administration, but it appears that telling the ‘truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth’ has only came back in vogue for the Democrats after their colossal embarrassment in this past national election……
@PhilipMarlowe: Philip
I’ll let you keep up with all those big city drugs, it’s not something I have a need to know.
I realize you still can’t learn to spell your name correctly, but get back into kindergarten and they’ll help you with that
@John Velisek USN (Ret.): John, you’ve got Philip sized up pretty well. He just showed up since the election, replacing one or more of the regular election trolls. He’s about as educated as the regular Dimocrat troll. We just play with him to give him an opportunity to display his ignorance. He does that well.
@PhillipMarlowe: @John Velisek USN (Ret.): You started this nonsense with a lie:
Being a 65 year old military vet does not give you permission/leave to lie.
Go back 20 years and try that on your commanding officer.
If you can’t be trusted with small facts, there is not much you can be trusted with.
As for insulting, I am only following in the footsteps of those commentating here.
It is a hallmark of them.
I give what I receive.
@Redteam: People like him are basically looking for attention for whatever reason. Hidden behind his computer screen he has all the courage he needs to make himself feel good about his superior (in his mind) attitude. Let’s just ignore him and he’ll go away. He won’t be able to stand not being the center of attention. I for one will not respond to any more of his posts.
@John Velisek USN (Ret.):
Advice that should apply to all the lefty trolls. They are all cut from the same mold. They believe they are morally and intellectually superior to everyone else and come here only to talk shit.
@John Velisek USN (Ret.): of course you won’t respond. You started this post with a lie, and it went downhill from there. If I was the condescending type, I’ll call you a snowflake for lying and hiding behind your computer screen.
@PhillipMarlowe: It may have been incidental surveillance, but they did disseminate throughout the intelligence community. Why else would Obama have Loretta Lynch change the law> I am not lying you just refuse to allow anything to touch your precious Obama. He “wiretapped the AP, James Rosen, and others, you don’t think he would do it to Trump.
@John Velisek USN (Ret.): He, AJ and their ilk are just paid liars. If they had the capacity for indigenous thought they would never support the points the profess to support.
@Bill- Deplorable Me: Lonely all alone except for a scraggly cat, bitter, with the need to bash, mostly with empty mindless insults.There are a couple of left leaning posters here that can get two braincells to spark, they keep the posting entertaining. Paid? no I dont think so they have bots these days, most likely living off mommy sits in a messy room next to a dirty smelly catbox, belongings covered in cat hair wondering why he/she/it cant get a date.
With that in mind its easy to ignore the filth, and accusations it cant seem to control itself from posting.
@Bill- Deplorable Me: paid? By who?
I’m missing my paycheque.
@kitt: No doubt the cat suffers the same fate as a jihadist’s goat.
