Patriots: Message from John Gaultier: My Fellow Patriots:
AMERICA WAS INFILTRATED A LONG TIME AGO.. AND GENERATIONS OF GOOD HARD
WORKING AMERICANS DID NOTHING. THEY ACCEPTED WHAT WAS HAPPENING!
It was happenstance they surmised. They sighed and went along their
merry way pretending that this great land was still OK! Hey the
Politicians said so right ?? WRONG!!
Beginning in the 1930’s,
under the aegis of Franklin Roosevelt, the nation began a drift to the
LEFT.. VERY SUBTLY AT FIRST... maybe as a reaction to the Great
Depression that damaged a lot of people's psyche and they wanted a
Government that protected them from harm.
However, those truly
committed to socialist/Marxist philosophy and tactics remained in the
shadows and worked on setting up the infrastructure to steal the Brand
called the "DEMOCRAT PARTY"....until the 1960’s.
There was a war
afoot and they used the Viet Nam war as a great pretext to infiltrate
the emotional psyche of young Americans wary of battle. The protests
unleashed far more than just a demand for an end to the war. The
socialist/Marxist found a great logical cover to blame America for all
manner of alleged sins in the past and determined to transform the
United States into a socialist/Marxist Oligarchy that would serve a
powerful few who would then step out from behind the shadows and enter
the mainstream of national legitimacy. The Bill Ayers and The Bernie
Sanders and The Bill Deblasios of the world who fronted for the bigger
fish .. the George Soros who hid in the shadows and Cherry picked Useful
nobodies to front for them based on their popularity and charisma. They
infiltrated the entertainment Industry so as influence the popular
culture as well. Hittler did it and it worked right ? Remember Leni
Riefenstahl?
This swarm of locusts soon enveloped the higher
levels of academia spawning countless clones to further infiltrate all
strata of society -- most notably the mainstream media, the
entertainment complex and the ultimate target: the Democratic Party.
These vital segments of the culture are now instruments of
indoctrination, propaganda and political power.
The curriculum
throughout all levels of schooling and the scripts of movies and
television shows were gradually but inexorably altered to reflect the
American left’s mindset, not only about governing, but their
determination to undermine basic societal moral and religious
underpinning as a necessary step in assuring that an eventual
ill-educated and dependent populace would look to a government
controlled by a single political party as their savior and provider.
Over the past fifty years, as the foundation of the United States was
being stealthily eroded, the vast majority of the American people
slumbered content in unprecedented peace and prosperity. Regardless of
who was in the White House or in control of Congress, no one has been
able or willing, as by-product of this public apathy, to curtail the
incessant spread of so-called Progressivism in the nation’s institutions
as well as the exponential growth of government with its tentacles
increasingly intertwined in the day-to-day lives of all Americans.
But believe it or not.. even right up to 2008 America was still a right
of center country, as less than 20% of the populace identified
themselves as liberal or in favor of an all-powerful central government
and over 80% self identified as religious.
It was clear that it
would take at least 15 to 20 years of public and political indifference
and another fully indoctrinated generation before the tenets of
socialism/Marxism would completely envelop the nation and its social and
political institutions, thus being impossible to ever reverse.
It was at this point that Barack Obama was thrust upon the scene. No
nominee in the history of the United States was less qualified to be
president, as he had no accomplishments or executive experience except
to be steeped in socialist/Marxist ideology and tactics. Nonetheless due
to a extraordinary confluence of circumstances -- the self-inflicted
and near universal unpopularity of George W. Bush, a catastrophic
financial meltdown six weeks before the presidential election,
uninspiring and feckless opposition in the primaries and the general
election and, most importantly, the unique factor of skin color -- he
was elected President.
With the ascendancy of Barack Obama to
the White House the acolytes of the American Left, in their giddiness
over the election of a fellow traveler, abandoned all pretext of
moderation. Their adherence to the scorched earth tactics of Saul
Alinski, open and unabashed advocacy of socialist/Marxist tenets, the
depths to which they had infiltrated American society and the Democratic
Party quickly began to come into focus.
8 years of LEFTIST
UNABASHED veering away from the Constitution during the Obama
administration and the ongoing rampage of the Left, it is clear for all
to see what future was going to look like with heir Apparent Hillary
Clinton anointed by the Soros KLAN...it was a sure bet that the
dismantling of the Republic of America was a given thing and the long
term reign of this cabal was a given thing:
The Supreme Court was
one justice away from being dominated by politically motivated
leftists, . Yes they had assassinated Justice Scalia and four of whom
who were already in place had proven themselves to be hell bent on
relegating the Constitution to the dustbin of history and replacing it
with the Left’s agenda.
In due course, freedom of speech,
religion and the press will be what the central government and courts,
controlled by one party, allow it to be.
All macro-economic
activity will be determined by Washington D.C., and in order to continue
to operate major corporations, their managements will have to be
subservient to the central government per the basic tenets of fascism.
Small business formation will be severely curtailed as the federal
regulatory state determines who and what business can be formed.
The power and independence of the individual states will be vastly
eroded as the courts and the power of the purse emanating from
Washington will force them into compliance with the whims of the
“Democratic Party”.
The “Republican Party” had already started to
show signs of being a fearful junior partner eager to ensure that those
who were lucky and blessed enough to be elected as the juggernaut of
the left stomped through State after State implanting large swathes of
illegal aliens who would one day be conferred the right to vote Democrat
so that they left could pretend that they had WON legally and
Democratically.
The Republicans would cease to effectively exist
except as a token opposition party, Look at California for a good model
of the future! The ‘Democrat Party with the Judges in their camp…
would change political funding laws and the Media that had been
steadily infiltrated over the decades NOW felt UNAFRAID TO COME OUT AND
SHOW THEIR TRUE COLORS. THE MEDIA WAS THEM.. THEY HAD TAKEN OVER THAT
TOO! The media was now in effect controlled by the Socialist Marxists.
It was a like a corporate takeover. All in the open and all seemingly
innocuous. They planned to create the permanent massive
underclass encompassing over 50% of the population as a result of
central planning, massive open door immigration, the near non-existence
of new business formation and the inability of the country to weather
the next global financial crisis. They and the remnant of the middle
class that remains will be increasingly dependent on government largess
as the national debt approaches 200% of a declining Gross Domestic
Product and the nation lives under a constant threat of hyper-inflation.
America was ripe for the taking.
The Cabal with Obama as its figure head was also making sure that The
United States would, in due course, become a hollow military power
unable to play a role on the world stage as other government
expenditures and a declining standard of living render defense spending
moot. As a result the country will find itself under increasing level of
domestic attacks by terrorists spawned in the Middle East and acting as
agents of America’s enemies. China will take over the status as the
world’s super power as the United States voluntarily casts itself into a
subservient role. A perfect coup to ensure that there would be no
resistance to the take over.
Eventually this nation as we know it
will cease to exist as a violent reaction to all the above will
eventuate in a revolution which may and could split the country into
three or four independent nations.
THAT’S WAS THE SCENARIO AS THE
LEFT CROWED ABOUT THE CHANCE OF DONALD TRUMP SUCCEEDING… THEN ON
NOVEMBER THE 8th 2016… WE PLACED DONALD TRUMP IN OFFICE AGAINST ALL
ODDS… TO REPRESENT OUR HOPES AND ASPIRATIONS TO STOP THIS PLAN AND RESTORE OUR HOPES AND DREAMS.
That’s when the
SABOTAGE BEGAN OF THIS ADMINISTRATION BEGAN. Decades of Socialist Marxist planning was slipping away.
They suddenly recognized that AMERICA might actually be able to recover. At long last "We the People" were awake and
ready to fight back. That meant that their big plan, that was crafted with such meticulous planning might actually be destroyed. THE WHOLE ALIEN BEING THAT WAS HIDING IN
THE SHADOWS IN AMERICA WAS FORCED TO PRESENT ITSELF AND IT BEGAN THE EPIC BATTLE
FOR AMERICA. Like a cancer that resists the treatment the war for the body was on. One to restore it and the other to destroy it.
The Trojan Horse Fighters emerged from the
bowels of the Horse with drawn swords and are fighting in the
streets.
The “DEMOCRAT PARTY” and the Unions and the University Leaders
and the School Teachers and the Media and the Useful Idiots and the
Climate Change Morons, The Hollywood Propaganda machine, the Federal
Judges, The News Papers and the Media Conglomerates have all exposed
their true colors because for them suddenly.. it’s a BATTLE FOR THE COUNTRY. They will go all out in 2020. They lost once they do not plan to lose a second time. Just like al Quaeda. They got the world trade center attack right the second time. Do not wait till the end of the election cycle. They are rigging the elections right now.
Yes we had seen them before. Yes they looked like Regular Americans .. they look like you and
me but they are not. They are the foot soldiers in the BATTLE FOR
AMERICA . ONE SIDE IS ORGANIZED AND ARRAYED… OUR SIDE IS LOOKING A
LITTLE CONFUSED.
One side will win. I pray we who have greater
numbers and more guns and fire power and for a short window we have
Donald Trump as our Commander in Chief. We have the Military on our
side with General Mattis as Defense Secretary. I hope Mattis still has a fire in his belly! He did not heed the call to start the Revolution against Obama when called and stayed coyly in the shadows when we begged to lead.
IF WE DO NOT COME TOGETHER AND FIGHT BACK AND WIN.. WE WILL LOSE IT ALL.
SO NOW YOU HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT WE ARE ARRAYED AGAINST. What will you do?
I am fighting now! Form cells on Patriots and create a 1000 Balls of
Fire across America that can come together when we make the call. Time
is short!
THE OBAMA CABAL SNOOPING TIME LINE STARTING IN 2009.
Now you know... the FBI and the CI have been exposed. They were spying since the Obama Cabal came into office. That is what a Paranoid Oligarchy does.
H/T Sharyl Attkisson
January 21, 2009:
President Obama takes office; pledges unprecedented transparency. A TAQUIYA LIE
April 2009:
Someone leaks the unmasked name of Congresswoman Jane Harmon to the press. According to news reports, the Bush administration NSA incidentally recorded and saved Harmon’s phone conversations
with pro-Israel lobbyists who were under investigation for espionage.
The story is first broken by Congressional Quarterly’s Jeff Stein.
December 17, 2009:
The Obama administration prosecutes FBI contractor Shamai Leibowitz
for leaking documents to the media in April 2009. Leibowitz says he
leaked because he felt FBI practices were “an abuse of power and a
violation of the law” which he reported to his superiors at the FBI “who
did nothing about them.” (According to the ACLU: “Amazingly, the
sentencing judge said, ‘I don’t know what was divulged other than some
documents, and how it compromised things, I have no idea’.”)
2010:
The IRS secretly begins “targeting” conservative groups that are
seeking nonprofit tax-exempt status, by singling out ones that have “Tea
Party” or “Patriot” in their names.
Army intelligence analyst Bradley Manning begins illegally leaks classified information to WikiLeaks revealing, among other matters, that the U.S. is extensively spying on the United Nations.
Obama Attorney General Eric Holder renews a Bush-era subpoena of New York Times reporter James Risen in a leak investigation.
Obama administration pursues espionage charges against NSA whistleblower Thomas Drake. (According to the ACLU:
spy charges were later dropped and Drake pled guilty to a misdemeanor.
The judge called the government’s conduct in the case “unconscionable.”)
May 28, 2010:
The government secretly applies for a warrant to obtain Google email information of Fox News reporter James Rosen in a leak investigation, without telling Rosen.
James Rosen of Fox News
September 21, 2010:
Internal email
entitled “Obama Leak Investigations” at “global intelligence” company
Stratfor claims Obama’s then-Homeland Security adviser John Brennan is
targeting journalists.
“Brennan is behind the witch hunts of
investigative journalists learning information from inside the beltway
sources,” writes one Stratfor official to another.
The email continues: “Note — There is specific tasker from the [White
House] to go after anyone printing materials negative to the Obama
agenda (oh my.) Even the FBI is shocked. The Wonder Boys must be in meltdown mode…”
“The Wonder Boys” reportedly refers to the National Security Agency (NSA). Brennan later becomes President Obama’s CIA Director.

Early February 2011:
After receiving an anonymous tip, CBS News investigative
correspondent Sharyl Attkisson begins researching the Department of
Justice “gunwalking” operation nicknamed “Fast and Furious” that
secretly let thousands of weapons be trafficked to Mexican drug cartels.
One of the “walked” guns had been used by illegal aliens who murdered
U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry in December 2010.
U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry
February 22, 2011:
CBS’ Attkisson breaks news about “Fast and Furious” on The CBS Evening News.
After the story airs, the government issues an internal memo that seeks to “push positive stories” to contradict the news.
Given the negative coverage by CBS Evening
News last week…ATF needs to proactively push positive stories this week,
in an effort to preempt some negative reporting, or at minimum, lessen the coverage of such stories in the news cycle by replacing them with good stories about ATF.
March 4, 2011:
CBS News’ Attkisson exclusively
interviews sitting ATF special agent John Dodson. He gives a firsthand
account contradicting government denials re: Fast and Furious.
ATF Special Agent John Dodson
May 2011:
White House recruits democratic operative Eric Schultz to spin on
Fast and Furious and to counter the House Oversight Committee’s
investigative work on the case. (Schultz previously served as intern to
Sen. Charles Schumer and Hillary Clinton.)
Former Obama operative Eric Schultz
Spring 2011:
Obama intel officials capture and record incidental private communications between Congressman Dennis Kucinich, a Democrat, and a Libyan official. The recordings are later leaked to the press.
2011:
Fox News reporter Mike Levine is subpoenaed by the Department of
Justice regarding a story he reported about a federal grand jury’s
indictments of terrorism suspects. The subpoena is later dropped.
June 2, 2011:
Republican Mitt Romney announces he’ll challenge President Obama in campaign 2012. SNOOPING STARTS ON ROMNEY AND HIS CAMPAIGN
June 28, 2011:
Obama U.S. Attorney for Arizona Dennis Burke secretly leaks sensitive government information
to Fox News, allegedly to retaliate against ATF whistleblower John
Dodson in the Fast and Furious case. (Burke is former chief of staff
to former Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano.)
August 2011:
U.S. Attorney Burke resigns while under investigation for the improper leak of sensitive information about Dodson. The Inspector General later confirms the leak and Burke apologizes.
September 2011:
White House operative Schultz invites Attkisson and several other
national journalists to off the record backgrounder about Fast and
Furious documents subpoenaed by Congress. Later, on the phone, Shultz
screams and cusses at Attkisson as she asks questions raised by the Fast
and Furious documents.
October 3, 2011:
Obama administration secretly changes longstanding policy. The change creates a “loophole” that Sen. Ron Wyden would later say allows the NSA to conduct “backdoor searches” of “incidental collection” of U.S. citizens’ domestic communications.
The same day, CBS News airs Attkisson’s report on newly-uncovered memos that contradict Attorney General Eric Holders’ denials about Fast and Furious.
Former Attorney General Eric Holder
October 4, 2011:
In an internal email, Attorney General Eric Holder’s top press aide Tracy Schmaler emails White House operative Schultz calling Attkisson “out of control.” Schultz replies, “Her piece was really bad for the AG.”
November 2011:
CIA Director Gen. David Petraeus, who’s married, allegedly begins an
affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell. (The FBI would later say it
“stumbled” upon evidence of the affair incidentally during an
unspecified, much broader investigation.)
December 2011:
Amid much criticism, Justice Department finally, officially retracts the
false letter it had submitted to Congress in February. The letter had
stated that the Fast and Furious allegations of gunwalking were untrue.
February 13, 2012:
At approximately 10:30pm, remote intruders secretly download new spy software proprietary to a federal agency
onto Attkisson’s CBS work computer. (The software was secretly attached
to a legitimate Hotmail email and downloaded in the background after a
pop-up ad appeared).
April-May 2012:
The Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI publicly announce vast
expansion of cyber related efforts to address alleged “national
security-related cyber issues.”
In violation of longstanding practice, DOJ secretly and without notice seizes personal and phone records of journalists from Associated Press from this two-month period in a leak investigation.
June 2012:
Attorney General Holder secretly initiates investigations into AP and the New York Times regarding government leaks.
June 28, 2012:

July 2012:
The Department of Justice designates U.S. Attorneys’ offices to act
as “force multipliers” in further stepped-up cyber efforts in the name
of national security.
Intruders remotely “refresh” ongoing surveillance of Attkisson’s CBS News Toshiba laptop.
Summer 2012:
The FBI incidentally stumbles across emails
revealing CIA Director Petraeus’ affair with his biographer Broadwell.
FBI Director Robert Mueller is notified of the affair on a date the
government will not disclose. The FBI later says it interviewed Petraeus
and Broadwell, and concluded national security hasn’t been
breached. The FBI keeps all of this information secret.
In late summer, on a date the government won’t reveal, the FBI notifies Attorney General Holder of the Petraeus affair.
September 11, 2012:
Four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens are
murdered in Benghazi, Libya during attacks by Islamic extremist
terrorists. Despite internal communications that acknowledge the
terrorist nature of the attacks within minutes, the Obama administration
falsely reports to the public that the attacks were instead a protest
gone awry after an anti-Islamic YouTube video.
Some Obama officials become frustrated with CIA Director Petraeus and
his post-Benghazi attack behavior, as he opposes efforts to edit out
mentions of terrorism from the public Benghazi talking points. Petraeus
deputy Mike Morell is given authority over the edits, and aligns with
Hillary Clinton’s State Department against Petraeus’s desires.
October 2012:
CBS begins airing Attkisson’s Benghazi stories which rely on whistleblowers
and numerous government-linked confidential sources. These sources
report that the Executive Branch is clamping down on leaks to reporters
re: Benghazi.
DOJ continues its stepped-up National Security Division cyber
efforts, holding specialized training at DOJ headquarters for the
National Security Cyber Specialists (NSCS) network and the Criminal
Division’s Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section (CCIPS).
President Obama issues top secret presidential directive on Oct. 16
ordering intelligence officials to draw up a list of overseas targets
for cyberattacks. According to The Guardian, the directive also
“contemplates the possible use of cyber actions inside the US.”
As CIA Director Petraeus’s interagency relationships become increasingly strained over his stance on Benghazi, unnamed FBI agents reach out to Republicans in Congress to tell about Petraeus’s affair.
They eventually land at the office of Republican majority leader Eric
Cantor. With the presidential elections about a week away, Cantor stays
mum on the Petraeus rumors and instead contacts the FBI about them.
The FBI interviews Petraeus and Broadwell a second time.
November 2, 2012:
The FBI questions President Obama’s vice chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff James Cartwright in a leak investigation
regarding material in a book written by a New York Times reporter.
Cartwright denies being the source (but later admits he was, and is
convicted in the case).
November 6, 2012:
President Obama defeats Mitt Romney in Campaign 2012.
CIA Director Petraeus is scheduled to testify to Congress next week about the Benghazi attacks.
Officials claim this day is the first time Director of National
Intelligence Clapper is notified about the Petraeus affair by an
unspecified official at the Justice Department. Clapper calls Petraeus
and urges him to resign.
November 7-9, 2012:
Attorney General Holder hosts a national training conference at
DOJ headquarters for the expanded efforts of DOJ’s National Security
Cyber Specialists (NSCS).
The Obama administration says somebody unspecified notifies someone
at the White House about the Petraeus affair on Nov. 7. The President is
reportedly looped in for the first time on Nov. 8 and accepts Petraeus’
resignation on Nov. 9. Petraeus’ planned appearance before Congress to testify on Benghazi is canceled.
November 13, 2012:
The F.B.I. initiates a body of cyber security case investigations that would later relate to Attkisson’s computer intrusions.
December 2012:
Two intelligence-connected sources separately suggest to Attkisson that she’s likely under government surveillance
due to her reporting. One source tells her the government has pushed
the envelope like never before and that public would be shocked to
“learn the extent that the government is conducting surveillance of
private citizens.”
As Attkisson arranges a forensic exam of her computer, evidence later
shows the intruders then attempted to cover their tracks and to erase
evidence of their intrusion. However, the erasures leave additional
forensic evidence.
December 27, 2012:
Sens. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Mark Udall (D-Colo.), who have
classified knowledge as members of the Senate Intelligence Committee,
publicly warn of the “back-door search loophole” or searches of incidental collection of innocent Americans.
As it is written, there is nothing to
prohibit the intelligence community from searching through a pile of
communications, which may have been incidentally or accidentally been
collected without a warrant, to deliberately search for the phone calls
or e-mails of specific Americans.—Sen. Mark Udall, D-Colorado
Sen. Mark Udall
2013:
Obama administration brings court martial against Army intelligence
analyst Bradley Manning, who has changed his name to Chelsea, for a 2010
leak of classified information to WikiLeaks that revealed American
military and diplomatic activities across the world. Manning is sentenced to 35 years in prison, the longest punishment ever given in a U.S. leak case.
January 2013:
Two forensics examinations confirm unauthorized remote intrusions and monitoring of Attkisson’s work and personal computers. The information is not publicly reported at this time.
January 23, 2012:

as he blew the whistle on the CIA’s secret torture program. He’s the
first CIA officer convicted of providing classified information to a
reporter.
March 12, 2013:
Director of National Intelligence James Clapper testifies to Congress, falsely stating that intelligence officials are not collecting mass data on tens of millions of Americans.
April 12, 2013:
The government Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Agency (FISA) court secretly approves the latest FBI request
to continue obtaining daily telephone records of millions of U.S.
Verizon customers. The judge orders Verizon to turn over the information
to the National Security Agency (NSA). This directly contradicts
Clapper’s March 12 testimony to Congress.
April 2013:
A secret government memo
later exposed by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden discusses how the
U.S. is collecting information “directly from the servers of …Microsoft,
Yahoo, Google, Facebook, PalTalk, AOL, Skype, YouTube, Apple.”

The Associated Press (AP) publicly announces that it has learned of the Justice Department’s secret subpoena
of phone records for 20 AP reporters, in a leak investigation. Attorney
General Holder personally approved the subpoenas, which were issued to
Verizon rather than AP. AP calls it a “massive and unprecedented intrusion” into news-gathering operations.
May 17, 2013:
Fox News learns that the Justice Department secretly labeled reporter James Rosen a possible “criminal co-conspirator”
and “flight-risk” in obtaining warrants to monitor Rosen’s State
Department movements, phone records and emails in a leak investigation
starting in 2011.
June 2013:
The FBI secretly opens a case on Attkisson’s computer
intrusions under the auspices of a national security issue. The FBI
contacts CBS without Attkisson’s knowledge, but fails to contact
or interview Attkisson. (The FBI later withholds Attkisson’s FBI file in
its entirety without explanation, and other documents, despite multiple
Freedom of Information Act requests.)
News of the FBI case involving Attkisson’s computer intrusions is
circulated internally to the Justice Department’s national cyber
security group, and grouped with a set of cases opened in November 2012.
June 2013:
Former National Security Agency NSA contractor Snowden begins releasing documents showing extensive efforts by the government to surveil and collect information on U.S. citizens.

August 6, 2013:
Armed Coast Guard agents under the Department of Homeland Security
raid the home of reporter Audrey Hudson at 4:30am with a search warrant
for her husband’s firearms. As they searched the house, they read Hudson
her Miranda rights and confiscated documents that contained
“confidential notes, draft articles, and other newsgathering materials”
belonging to Hudson including the identities of whistleblowers at the
Department of Homeland Security. (Hudson sues and later receives a settlement from the government.)

unauthorized, external, unknown party on multiple occasions late in
2012…This party also used sophisticated methods to remove all possible
indications of unauthorized activity, and alter system times to cause
further confusion.—CBS News
September 19, 2013

Spring 2015:
The Obama administration finishes secretive negotiations of an Iran
nuclear deal that will return billions of dollars in frozen funds to the
world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism in return for
assurances from that country. It’s later reported that Obama intel
officials have been incidentally capturing communications
of U.S. members of Congress and organizations in the U.S.
while secretly recording Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s
discussions about the Iran deal, which he opposes.
As of now, the New York Times reports
“since 2009, six current or former government employees and two
government contractors have been indicted or prosecuted under the
Espionage Act for leaking information to the public. There were only
three such prosecutions under all previous U.S. presidents combined
since 1917.”

indicators” to the Department of Homeland Security and granting the
companies immunity from prosecution for sharing customers’ personal
data in those cases.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the Obama administration incidentally collected private communications by members of Congress while it spied on Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu.
The NSA sweeping up “private conversations
with U.S. lawmakers and American-Jewish groups… raised fears [of]—an
‘Oh-s— moment,’ one senior U.S. official said—that the executive branch
would be accused of spying on Congress.”–Wall Street Journal, December
29, 2015
July 2016:

According to later news reports, after Trump’s nomination, internal
White House logs show Obama National Security Adviser Susan Rice begins
to show increased interest in National Security Agency (NSA)
intelligence material that included “unmasked” Americans’ identities.
Former Obama national security adviser Susan Rice
Summer 2016:
The FBI reportedly obtains a secret FISA court order to monitor communications of Trump adviser Carter Page,
convincing a judge there’s probable cause to believe Page is acting as a
Russian agent. Surveillance of Page theoretically allows government
officials to “incidentally” collect communications of Trump associates
(or Trump himself) if they communicate with Page. Read: When “Incidental” Intel Collection Isn’t Incidental
Former Trump adviser Carter Page
Fall 2016:
Trump opponents “shop” to reporters a political opposition research
“dossier” alleging Trump is guilty of various inappropriate acts
regarding Russia. The information is unverified (and some of it is
false) and the press doesn’t publish it, but a copy is provided to the
FBI.
September 26, 2016:
It’s not publicly known at the time, but the government makes a proposal
to the secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) court

After Trump’s election, Obama officials take steps to ensure certain intelligence gathered regarding Trump associates is “spread across the government.”
One Obama official would later say it’s because they were afraid once
Trump officials “found out how we knew what we knew,” the intelligence
would be destroyed. However, Obama critics later theorize Obama
officials were working to mount opposition to Trump’s presidency.

Behind the Obama administration’s shady plan to spy on the Trump campaign
There is no doubt that the Obama administration spied on the Trump
campaign. As Barr made clear, the real question is: What predicated the
spying? Was there a valid reason for it, strong enough to overcome our
norm against political spying? Or was it done rashly? Was a politically
motivated decision made to use highly intrusive investigative tactics
when a more measured response would have sufficed, such as a “defensive
briefing” that would have warned the Trump campaign of possible Russian
infiltration?
Last year, when the “spy” games got underway, James Clapper, Obama’s
director of national intelligence, conceded that, yes, the FBI did run
an informant — “spy” is such an icky word — at Trump campaign officials;
but, we were told, this was merely to investigate Russia. Cross
Clapper’s heart, it had nothing to do with the Trump campaign. No, no,
no. Indeed, the Obama administration only used an informant because —
bet you didn’t know this — doing so is the most benign, least intrusive
mode of conducting an investigation.
Me? I’m thinking the tens of thousands of convicts serving lengthy
sentences due to the penetration of their schemes by informants would
beg to differ. (Gee, Mr. Gambino, I assure you, this was just for you
own good . . .) And imagine the Democrats’ response if, say, the Bush
administration had run a covert intelligence operative against Obama
2008 campaign officials, including the campaign’s co-chairman. Surely
David Axelrod, Chuck Schumer, The New York Times and Rachel Maddow would
chirp that “all is forgiven” once they heard Republicans punctiliously
parse the nuances between “spying” and “surveillance”; between “spies”
and “informants”; and between investigating campaign officials versus
investigating the campaign proper — and the candidate.
The “spying” question arose last spring, when we learned that Stefan
Halper, a longtime source for the CIA and British intelligence, had been
tasked during the FBI’s Russia investigation to chat up three Trump campaign advisers:
Carter Page, George Papadopoulos and Sam Clovis. This was in addition
to earlier revelations that the Obama Justice Department and FBI had
obtained warrants to eavesdrop on Page’s communications, beginning about three weeks before the 2016 election.
The fact that spying had occurred was too clear for credible denial.
The retort, then, was misdirection: There had been no spying on Donald
Trump or his campaign; just on a few potential bad actors in the
campaign’s orbit.
It was nonsense then, and it is nonsense now.
The pols making these claims about what the FBI was doing might have
been well served by listening to what the FBI said it was doing.
There was, for example, then-Director Comey’s breathtaking public
testimony before the House Intelligence Committee on March 20, 2017.
Comey did not just confirm the existence of a counterintelligence probe of Russian espionage
to influence the 2016 election — notwithstanding that the government
customarily refuses to confirm the existence of any investigation, let
alone a classified counterintelligence investigation. The director
further identified the Trump campaign as a subject of the probe, even
though, to avoid smearing people, the Justice Department never
identifies uncharged persons or organizations that are under
investigation. As Comey put it:
“I have been authorized by the Department of Justice to confirm that
the FBI, as part of our counterintelligence mission, is investigating
the Russian government’s efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential
election and that includes investigating the nature of any links between
individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russian
government and whether there was any coordination between the campaign
and Russia’s efforts . . .”
The FBI was spying, and it was doing so in an investigation of the
Trump campaign. That is why, for over two years, Washington has been
entranced by the specter of “Trump collusion with Russia”
— not Page or Papadopoulos collusion with Russia. Comey went to
extraordinary lengths to tell the world that the FBI was not merely
zeroing in on individuals of varying ranks in the campaign; the main
question was whether the Trump campaign itself — the entity — had
“coordinated” in Russia’s espionage operation.
In the months prior to the election, as its Trump-Russia investigation ensued, some of the overtly political, rabidly anti-Trump FBI agents
running the probe discussed among themselves the prospect of stopping
Trump, or of using the investigation as an “insurance policy” in the
highly unlikely event that Trump won the election. After Trump’s
stunning victory, the Obama administration had a dilemma: How could the
investigation be maintained if Trump were told about it? After all, as
president, he would have the power to shut it down.
On Jan. 6, 2017, Comey, Clapper, CIA Director John Brennan and
National Security Agency chief Michael Rogers visited President-elect
Trump in New York to brief him on the Russia investigation.
Just one day earlier, at the White House, Comey and then–Acting
Attorney General Sally Yates had met with the political leadership of
the Obama administration — President Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and
national security adviser Susan Rice — to discuss withholding
information about the Russia investigation from the incoming Trump
administration.
Rice put this sleight-of-hand a bit more delicately in the memo about
the Oval Office meeting (written two weeks after the fact, as Rice was
leaving her office minutes after Trump’s inauguration):
“President Obama said he wants to be sure that, as we engage with the
incoming team, we are mindful to ascertain if there is any reason that
we cannot share information fully as it relates to Russia. [Emphasis
added.]”
It is easy to understand why Obama officials needed to discuss
withholding information from Trump. They knew that the Trump campaign —
not just some individuals tangentially connected to the campaign — was
the subject of an ongoing FBI counterintelligence probe. An informant
had been run at campaign officials. The FISA surveillance of Page was
underway — in fact, right before Trump’s inauguration, the Obama
administration obtained a new court warrant for 90 more days of spying.
In each Page surveillance warrant application, after describing
Russia’s espionage operations, the Justice Department told the court,
“The FBI believes that the Russian Government’s efforts are being
coordinated with Candidate #1’s campaign[.]” Candidate #1 was Donald
Trump — now, the president-elect.
The fact that the Trump campaign was under investigation for
collaborating with Russia was not just withheld from the incoming
president; it had been withheld from the congressional “Gang of Eight.”
In his March 2017 House testimony, answering questions by Rep. Elise
Stefanik (R-NY), then-director Comey acknowledged that congressional
leadership was not told about the Trump-Russia probe during quarterly
briefings from July 2016 through early March 2017, because “it was a
matter of such sensitivity.” Let’s put aside that the need to alert
Congress to sensitive matters is exactly why there is a Gang of Eight
(comprised of bipartisan leaders of both chambers and their intelligence
committees).
Manifestly, the matter was deemed too “sensitive” for disclosure
because that would have involved telling Republican congressional
leadership that the incumbent Democratic administration was using
foreign counterintelligence powers to investigate the Republican
presidential campaign, and the party’s nominee, as suspected clandestine
agents of the Kremlin.
How to keep the investigation going when Trump took office? The plan
called for Comey to put the new president at ease by telling him he was
not a suspect. This would not have been a credible assurance if Comey
had informed Trump that (a) his campaign had been under investigation
for months, and (b) the FBI had told a federal court it suspected Trump
campaign officials were complicit in Russia’s cyber-espionage operation.
So, consistent with President Obama’s instructions at the Jan. 5,
2017, Oval Office meeting, information about the investigation would be
withheld from the president-elect. The next day, the intelligence chiefs
would tell Trump only about Russia’s espionage, not about the Trump
campaign’s suspected “coordination” with the Kremlin. Then, Comey would
apprise Trump about only a sliver of the Steele dossier — just the lurid
story about peeing prostitutes, not the dossier’s principal allegations of a traitorous Trump-Russia conspiracy.
This strategy did not sit well with everyone at the FBI. Shortly
before meeting with Trump on Jan. 6, Comey consulted his top advisers
about the plan to tell Trump he was not a suspect. In later Senate
testimony, Comey admitted that there was an objection from one FBI
official:
“One of the members of the leadership team had a view that, although
it was technically true [that] we did not have a counterintelligence
file case open on then-President-elect Trump[,] . . . because we’re
looking at the potential . . . coordination between the campaign and
Russia, because it was . . . President-elect Trump’s campaign, this
person’s view was, inevitably, [Trump’s] behavior, [Trump’s] conduct
will fall within the scope of that work.”
Note that Comey did not refer to “potential coordination” between,
say, Carter Page or Paul Manafort and Russia. The director was
unambiguous: The FBI was investigating “potential coordination between
the Trump campaign and Russia.”
Perspicaciously, Comey’s unidentified adviser connected the dots: (a)
because the FBI’s investigation focused on the campaign, and (b) since
the campaign was Trump’s campaign, it was necessarily true that (c)
Trump’s own conduct was under FBI scrutiny.
Then-director Comey’s reliance on the trivial administrative fact
that the FBI had not written Trump’s name on the investigative file did
not change the reality that Trump, manifestly, was the main subject of
the “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation.
Remember last year’s hullabaloo over special counsel Robert Mueller’s demand to interview the president?
What need would there have been to conduct such an interview if Trump
were not a subject of the investigation? Why would Trump’s political
opponents have spent the last two years demanding that Mueller be
permitted to complete his probe of collusion and obstruction if it were
not understood that the investigation — including the spying, or, if you
prefer, the electronic surveillance, the informant sorties, and the
information gathered by national-security letter demands — was centrally
about Donald Trump?
That brings us to a final point. Congressional investigations have
established that the Obama Justice Department and the FBI used the
Steele dossier to obtain FISA court warrants against Page.
The dossier, a Clinton campaign opposition research project
(again, a fact withheld from the FISA court), was essential to the
required probable-cause showing; the FBI’s former deputy director,
Andrew McCabe, testified that without the dossier there would have been
no warrant.
So . . . what did the dossier say? The lion’s share of it alleged
that the Trump campaign was conspiring with the Kremlin to corrupt the
election, including by hacking and publicizing Democratic Party e-mails.
This allegation was based on unidentified Russian sources whom the FBI
could not corroborate; then-director Comey told Senate leaders that the
FBI used the information because the bureau judged former British spy
Christopher Steele to be credible, even though (a) Steele did not make
any of the observations the court was being asked to rely on, and (b)
Steele had misled the FBI about his contacts with the media — with whom
Steele and his Clinton campaign allies were sharing the same information
he was giving the bureau.
It is a major investigative step to seek surveillance warrants from
the FISA court. Unlike using an informant (a human spy), for which no
court authorization is necessary, applications for FISA surveillance
require approvals at the highest levels of the Justice Department and
the FBI. After going through that elaborate process, the Obama Justice
Department and the FBI presented to the court the dossier’s allegations
that the Trump campaign was coordinating with Russia to undermine the
2016 election.
To be sure, no sensible person argues that the government should
refrain from investigating if, based on compelling evidence, the FBI
suspects individuals — even campaign officials, even a party’s nominee —
of acting as clandestine agents of a hostile foreign power. The
question is: What should trigger such an investigation in a democratic
republic whose norms strongly discourage an incumbent administration’s
use of the government’s spying powers against political opponents?
The Obama administration decided that this norm did not apply to the
Trump campaign. If all the Obama administration had been trying to do
was check out a few bad apples with suspicious Russia ties, the FBI
could easily have alerted any of a number of Trump campaign officials
with solid national-security credentials — Rudy Giuliani, Jeff Sessions,
Chris Christie. The agents could have asked for the campaign’s help.
Instead, Obama officials made the Trump campaign the subject of a
counterintelligence investigation.
Fired Anti-Trump Ukrainian Ambassador Was Monitoring Communications of John Solomon and US Journalists Prying into Ukraine!
Last week House Democrats called in fired US Ambassador Marie Yovanovich to testify in their sham impeachment proceedings.
Ambassador Yovanovich is a noted Trump-hater who blocked Ukrainian
officials from traveling to the United States to hand over evidence of
Obama misconduct during the 2016 election to President Trump.
Yovanovich was US ambassador to Ukraine during the 2016
election when the Ukrainian government was colluding with the DNC and
Hillary Campaign to undermine the US presidential election.
Ukrainian Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenkoko told journalists in March that Yovanovitch gave him a “do not prosecute” list during their first meeting.
The president ordered her removal from her post in Ukraine in May 2019.
She was openly anti-Trump. Starting in 2018 Yovanovich denied Ukrainian officials visas
to enter the United States to hand over evidence of Obama administration
misconduct to Trump administration officials.
Wednesday night on Hannity John Solomon announced that the former
Ambassador Yovanovich was monitoring the reporters digging into
Ukrainian lawlessness. There is evidence now that Yovanovich was spying on John Solomon.
What a crook. UPDATE– We heard from a trusted source that this is much broader than is being reported and that the ambassador is out of her mind. This is going to be a really big story!
WHY DID THEY DO ALL THIS ??
BECAUSE BEHIND IT ALL IT WAS ALL ABOUT GEORGE SOROS TRANSFORMING AMERICA AND THE THE OBAMA CABAL GETTING RICH WHILE MOVING THE GOAL POST TOWARDS THE SOCIALIST OLIGOPOLY !
OBAMA CABAL SNOOPING STARTED IN 2011 AGAINST MITT ROMENY AND PAUL RYAN. Those 2 Cowardly Stooges had no clue! THE OBAMA CABAL ACTED WITH IMPUNITY. THE OBAMA CABAL WEAPONIZED THE IRS THE NSA THE COURTS TO FUNDAMENTALLY TRANSFORM AMERICA. THEY WERE RELENTLESS.
.. IN
Yes 2011...National Security Agency’s incidental intercepts of Americans, taking advantage of rules their boss relaxed started in 2011. They claimed it was to help the government better fight terrorism, espionage by foreign enemies and hacking threats.
Hidden in this "noble agenda" was the real reason they did it. TO SPY ON THEIR POLITICAL ENEMIES! 2011 It started in 2011... peel back the Onion.. Insidrs are leaking to us that the Obama Cabal with the same cast of characters spied on Romney and Ryan.
Those poor fools did not know why they were one step behind on all issues!
They blackmailed the both of them. Paul Ryan is still being blackmailed. Now you can figure why Romney slunk away after FRAUD WAS EXPOSED IN THE 2012 OBAMA VOTE RIGGING. THEY HAD SHIT ON THIS SORRY AS MAN SHITT ROMNEY!
Those intelligence reports identified Americans who were directly
intercepted talking to foreign sources or were the subject of
conversations between two or more monitored foreign figures. Sometimes
the Americans’ names were officially unmasked; other times they were so
specifically described in the reports that their identities were readily
discernible. Among those cleared to request and consume unmasked
NSA-based intelligence reports about U.S. citizens were Obama’s national
security adviser Susan Rice, his CIA Director John Brennan and then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch.
News agencies who are not afraid to talk the Truth have reported facts:
Circa news http://circa.com/politics/barack-obamas-team-secretly-disclosed-years-of-illegal-nsa-searches-spying-on-americans Reports leaked show that there was a three-fold increase in NSA data searches
about Americans and a rise in the unmasking of U.S. person’s identities
in intelligence reports after Obama loosened the privacy rules in 2011. NOW YOU KNOW WHY!! Officials
like former National Security Adviser Susan Rice have argued their
activities were legal under the so-called minimization rule changes
Obama made, and that the intelligence agencies were strictly monitored
to avoid abuses. GUESS WHAT HAPPENED IN 2011? Obama Campaign for reelection. THEY TARGETED MITT ROMNEY AND PAUL RYAN;
The intelligence court and the NSA’s own internal watchdog found that not to be true. “Since
2011, NSA’s minimization procedures have prohibited use of U.S.-person
identifiers to query the results of upstream Internet collections under
Section 702,” the unsealed court ruling declared. “The Oct. 26, 2016
notice informed the court that NSA analysts had been conducting such
queries inviolation of that prohibition, with much greater frequency
than had been previously disclosed to the Court.”
Speaking
Wednesday on Fox News, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said there was an apparent
effort under the Obama Administration to increase the number of
unmaskings of Americans. "If we determine this to be true, this is an enormous abuse of power," Paul said. “This will dwarf all other stories.” “There are hundreds and hundreds of people,” Paul added.
The
American Civil Liberties Union said the newly disclosed violations are
some of the most serious to ever be documented and strongly call into
question the U.S. intelligence community’s ability to police itself and
safeguard American’s privacy as guaranteed by the Constitution’s Fourth
Amendment protections against unlawful search and seizure. “I
think what this emphasizes is the shocking lack of oversight of these
programs,” said Neema Singh Guliani, the ACLU’s legislative counsel in
Washington.
“You
have these problems going on for years that only come to the attention
of the court late in the game and then it takes additional years to
change its practices. “I think it does call into question all
those defenses that we kept hearing, that we always have a robust
oversight structure and we have culture of adherence to privacy
standards,” she added. “And the headline now is they actually haven’t
been in compliacne for years and the FISA court itself says in its
opinion is that the NSA suffers from a culture of a lack of candor.”
The
NSA acknowledged it self-disclosed the mass violations to the court
last fall and that in April it took the extraordinary step of suspending
the type of searches that were violating the rules, even deleting prior
collected data on Americans to avoid any further violations. “NSA
will no longer collect certain internet communications that merely
mention a foreign intelligence target,” the agency said in the statement
that was dated April 28 and placed on its Web site without capturing
much media or congressional attention.
In
question is the collection of what is known as upstream “about
data”about an American that is collected even though they were not
directly in contact with a foreigner that the NSA was legally allowed to
intercept. The NSA said it doesn't have the ability to stop
collecting ‘about’ information on Americans, “without losing some other
important data. ” It, however, said it would stop the practice to
“reduce the chance that it would acquire communication of U.S. persons
or others who are not in direct contact with a foreign intelligence
target.”
The
NSA said it also plans to “delete the vast majority of its upstream
internet data to further protect the privacy of U.S. person
communications.” Agency officials called the violations
“inadvertent compliance lapses.” But the court and IG documents suggest
the NSA had not developed a technological way to comply with the rules
they had submitted to the court in 2011.
Officials
"explained that NSA query compliance is largely maintained through a
series of manual checks" and had not "included the proper limiters" to
prevent unlawful searches, the NSA internal watchdog reported in a top
secret report in January that was just declassified. A new system is
being developed now, officials said. The NSA conducts thousand of
searches a year on data involving Americans and the actual numbers of
violations were redacted from the documents Circa reviewed.
But
a chart in the report showed there three types of violations, the most
frequent being 5.2 percent of the time when NSA Section 702 upstream
data on U.S. persons was searched. The inspector general also
found noncompliance between 0.7 percent and 1.4 percent of the time
involving NSA activities in which there was a court order to target an
American for spying but the rules were still not followed. Those
activities are known as Section 704 and Section 705 spying.
The
IG report spared few words for the NSA’s efforts before the disclosure
to ensure it was complying with practices, some that date to rules
issued in 2008 in the final days of the Bush administration and others
that Obama put into effect in 2011.
“We found that the Agency
controls for monitoring query compliance have not been completely
developed,” the inspector general reported, citing problems ranging from
missing requirements for documentation to the failure to complete
controls that would ensure “query compliance.”
The
NSA’s Signal Intelligence Directorate, the nation’s main foreign
surveillance arm, wrote a letter back to the IG saying it agreed with
the findings and that “corrective action plans” are in the works.
Circa reported last week that Obama opened the door for his
political aides like Rice to more easily gain access to unmasked
Americans’ names in NSA intercepts through a series of rule changes
beginning in 2011. Obama's rule changes opened door for NSA intercepts of Americans to reach political hands
Then as the Inauguration drew closer and closer and they could not
dislodge Donald Trump by Recounts and Electoral College Vote count
scams.. They realized that they might be exposed.. so Obama signed
Executive Order 12333 Yes... in the Final days of the LAME DUCK ,
the Obama Administration, they expanded the power of the National
Security Agency (NSA) to "share" intercepted personal communication with
the government’s 16 other intelligence agencies before applying any
privacy protections. The new rules were issued under section 2.3 of
Executive Order 12333 after approval by two Obama Administration
officials: Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Director of National
Intelligence Director, James Clapper. Think about it in the
context of why they did it. It could not be for National Security
reasons. They were leaving in 10 days. Was there something that needed
this rule 10 DAYS BEFORE THE END OF AN ADMINISTRATION ? The
Answer.. YES.. They needed to Cover their tracks so it could look like
others could have leaked or looked at the information they had secretly
been surveiling Donald Trump for over 12 months. They needed to create a
fake trail. There is no other logical explanation. see... the new
rules, which were issued in an unclassified document, entitled
Procedures for the Availability or Dissemination of Raw Signals
Intelligence Information by the National Security Agency (NSA),
significantly relaxed longstanding limits on what the NSA may do with
the information gathered by its most powerful surveillance operations.
These operations are largely unregulated by American wiretapping laws.
Surveillances include collecting satellite transmissions, phone calls,
and emails that cross network switches abroad, and messages between
people abroad that cross domestic network switches. All SET UP 10 DAYS
BEFORE LEAVING TO ATTEMPT TO COVER THE TRACKS OF THE OBAMA ADMIN
OPERATIVES. The changes initiated by the Obama Administration in
its waning days was a plan to empower a whole lot more agents and
officials to search and view raw intelligence data that the OBAMA
OPERATIVES HAD SURVEILED OVER THE PAST 6 MONTHS. The plan was to
make sure that intel leaks would possibly grow exponentially and so
dilute by expanding the number of people that could be implicated. This
allowed the Obama Operatives to hide like a needle in a larger haystack.
Obama Lackeys Attorney General Loretta Lynch signed the new rules
permitting the NSA to disseminate raw signals intelligence information
on January 3, 2017 after another Obama Lackey and proven Liar Director
of National Intelligence James Clapper signed them on December 15, 2016.
Ask yourself why the urgency ? Prior to these changes, the NSA
filtered information before sharing intercepted communications with
another agency such as the CIA or the intelligence branches of the FBI.
The NSA only passed on information deemed pertinent before the new order
screening out the identities of innocent people and irrelevant personal
information. Now intelligence agencies can search directly through raw
repositories of communications intercepted by the NSA and then apply
such rules as required for minimizing privacy intrusions. This allowed
oversight committees to be able to track the chain of control of any
data. With the new Rules the net was spread wide to COVER THE TRACKS OF
THE OBAMA OPERATIVES. Under the new rules, agencies and
individuals can ask the NSA for access to specific surveillance feeds
premised on the claim that they contain relevant information that is
useful to a particular mission. Then the NSA has the discretion to grant
such requests if it deems the request reasonable. Properly understood,
the contents of the conversations engaged in by members of the Trump
Administration and by President Trump himself are now under an
increasing risk that they will be exposed to the public for purposes of
embarrassing the Trump Administration and in order to impede the
effectiveness of his policies. The Obama Administration’s change
in policy has grave implications for former National Security Adviser
General Flynn and other Trump Administration officials. Under the new
Obama Administration rules, conversations were and are subject to being
shared with a wider network of individuals and operatives. This process
multiplies the likelihood of leaks and the number of people who could be
doing the leaking. Although proof of cause and effect may be difficult,
consider the following record, which appears to be far more than
coincidental. How Convenient eh ? They thought they had a foolproof way
to cover their tracks. Too many eyes saw the raw data so they could
blame it on "Rouge Agents of the Deep State" So Back to my Original premise...
This is an operation that went sideways because Hillary did not win.
They pinned all their hopes to MAINTAIN the DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA on
Hillary winning. When Donald Trump won... it messed up their
whole long game plan. George Soros and his Axis of Domestic Evil... were
forced to regroup. THEY WERE TRYING TO COVER THEIR TRACKS.
This ACT of SPYING ON THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION has the signature of all
Leftist and Islamic State actions. This is the way they play.
They infiltrate a Country using the rules of the State and then slowly
bend and manipulate a little piece at a time and the populace does not
notice that another little slice of their Republic has been chipped
away. Like the proverbial Frog in a pot of slow boiled water. Getting Hillary elected was to put the Final Nail in the Coffin of the Republic that our Founding Fathers created.
Now it is exposed that Susan Rice was the low level Lackey ... AGAIN!! who was ordered to put her signature to the spying. They higher ups need deniability. Obama spied on the Pope and got away with it Obama Spied on Angela Merkel of Germany and got away with it. Obama Attacked the Conservatives through the IRS .. and Got away with it Obama and Hillary were running guns through Benghazi and got away with it Coming to 2016...Susan Rice working for Obama White house now exposed as the Stooge who was asked to Spy on the Trump Campaign.
Why not.. she was a loyal stooge the first time with Benghazi. Hell she
was guaranteed that Hillary was going to win. So no one would ever find
out. IT WAS IN THE BAG! But Hillary lost so now Rice was ordered
to get more information on Trump so they could incriminate him in some
way and boot him from office. "Stoogey Susan" says OK and does some more spying!
The big mistake was Obama was a lazy President so he wanted all his
intelligence briefing in writing so he did not have it on his IPAD.. Bad Move..
Valerie Jarret and John Brennan and maybe even Clapper transcribed all
this stuff and put it in the President's Intelligence briefing file
daily... It remained in the White House! It seems like John
Brennan is also being fingered as the original source. This, in fact,
fits in very well with what we know. Brennan developed the well-leaked
paper that said Russia wanted Trump to win. When Comey initially refused
to sign on, Brennan seemed to strong arm him back into line. Brennan
has been the public face of the Russia allegations. Brennan has been
very coy and lawyerly in his denials of being a source of leaks. Rice is
a dopey puppet to the bigger fishes! She does what she is told.
Former Obama administration officials have boasted about how they spread
information they had gathered on Trump and his associates across the
intelligence community for the self-professed high minded purpose of
preserving it from destruction by the Trump administration. Key point #1.
Nunes has known about the unmasking controversy since January, when two
sources in the intelligence community approached him. The sources told
Nunes who was responsible and at least one of the Trump team names that
was unmasked. They also gave him serial numbers of reports that
documented the activity. This was long before Trump sent out his
now-infamous March 4 tweets claiming then-President Barack Obama
“wiretapped” Trump Tower during the 2016 election. Nunes had asked intelligence agencies to see the reports in question, but was stonewalled. Key point #2.
He eventually was able to view them, but there was only one safe place
to see the documents without compromising the sources’ identities — the
old executive office building on White House grounds, which has a
Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) required to view
classified or top secret reports. The White House did not tell Nunes
about the existence of the intelligence reports, but did help him gain
access to the documents at his request, the source said. SO HERE WE HAVE THE UNRAVELING OF THE SPYING CAPER THAT THE CABAL THOUGHT THEY WOULD GET AWAY WITH... ....
SOON IF WE HAVE EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER THE LAW... WE SHOULD BE SEEING A
LOT OF HIGH POWERED LEFTIES AND FORMER ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS IN JAIL.
THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RUSSIA MEDDLING.. THIS HAS EVERYTHING TO DO
WITH THE OBAMA/CLINTON/SOROS AXIS OF DOMESTIC EVIL.. MEDDLING 👮👮 Arrest the bastards!!
