Our national media has known for months that the Obama administration spied on Team Trump. This was not only common knowledge within the media community, it was no secret. In fact, as you’ll see below, for two big reasons, the media was overjoyed that this spying had occurred: (1) they got scoops damaging to Trump, and (2) in their provincial and cultish minds, the very fact that the oh-so pure Obama administration felt the need to spy, could only mean Trump was in bed with Putin.
In fact, the media was actually having a big public party using Obama’s spying. Hoo-hah here’s a scoop! Whee-hee Flynn said this! Woo-woo palace intrigue! Ha-haaah here’s what so-and-so said! Tra-la-la here’s what so-and-so did!
And then on March 4, in a series of tweets that had the exact same effect as political nukes, Trump himself confirmed what the media had already told us, that the Obama administration had spied on him and his team. Trump’s brilliance was focusing on the sleazy and illegal act of the actual spying. And this is when the media realized that all their ha-has and tra-la-las were about to backfire. Their Precious Barry was now at risk, and so the shameless cover up and lying began …
Then there’s Mr. Comey’s testimony that the FBI had been investigating Trump staff for eight months. It almost certainly included surveillance; an investigation without surveillance would approach farcical.
Adm. Rogers told the House Intelligence Committee that there are strict controls in place for masking and unmasking the identities of people caught up in the inadvertent collection of information and the distribution of this kind of material. It now appears he either misled the committee or doesn’t know what’s happening inside his own agency. If Mr. Nunes is right, the rules either weren’t followed or were much less stringent than Adm. Rogers let on.
Last, and rather damningly, I believe that Mr. Comey and Adm. Rogers would have to have known that raw transcripts of captured conversations that included members of the Trump team were at the White House. It is inconceivable that people in those positions of power would not know. While this may not be criminal, it is at least a cause for them to be fired.
I know this is a tired old hobby horse, but let us imagine for a moment this was Bush, spying on Obama…
From past experience, it occurs to me that Trump knows everything. He is in charge. The president is the only one that of necessity of the office knows.
For some reason, he is holding back.
Suppose to be “presidential”.
Gotta drain the swamp, there is no way about it, unless he sinks in the same and becomes just another cog in the wheel of the ruling class.
Information from wiretaps was front page news.
A prolonged investigation takes place based on wiretap information.
Trump complains about wiretaps.
Trump is paranoid and delusional because there were no wiretaps.
The inconsistency is mind numbing.
Lev, yes, Trump has proven time and time again that it is pure folly to ever underestimate him.
scar, depending on how you look at it, the media’s consistency is also quite mind-numbing. They are unabashed slaves to their narratives.
How does an investigation happen without surveillance, modern surveillance that includes “wiretapping”?
What a farce.
(Captcha – “pravada avenue”. Perfect LOL)
Urnalism is the only business that requires 0 integrity, some in the business have it, but most don’t, these are the “Mean Girls”, the catty tattle tales that spread garbage and they look at their published swill with all the smirkiness of a Handler or Odonnell, what a company of skanks. Trump is so far ahead of these pigs, his chess move yesterday was brilliant, letting Paul Backstab eat his failure for the country to see, knowing the perverted media roosters would crow the failure loud across the airwaves so quietly he can get that limp speaker replaced.
Last night Tucker Carlson did a brilliant interview with Richard Goodstein, a Democratic Strategist. Goodstein keeps trying to deflect and make it about Trump and the Russians but Carlson keeps reminding him that the real issue is the government spying on its citizens. Watch to see how an interview should be done.
Tucker Battles Dem Strategist Over Alleged Spying on Trump Team
Trump should appoint a special prosecutor and move on from this. The SP would have a Wide mandate that would allow it to fish for ALL POTUS dealings going back to 2014. That would let it gather info on obamas dealings with the ag and HRC. Lots of damning stuff on the Dems just in time for the 2018 mid terms.
Meanwhile trump can get down to business and start appointing judges and Dept staff both areas that are far behind schedule.
Hilary must have sent you your cheque earlier than usual this months, yes?
Keep believing the lying swill from the corrupt, dishonest, evil presstitutes, ublowme! Shows the type of brain dead parrot that you really are, along with your lying, and envious socialist comrades.
Keep up the comedy John!
Did you even read the article?
It’s one thing for a news outlet to publish a piece that is merely a personal opinion of one of their writers. Those ones don’t mean much.
But when the article is a compilation of reports from every major news source that specifically quotes leaks, wiretaps, senior officials, phone conversations, et al, one of 2 things is happening. Either the MSM colluded together to develop a false narrative to bring down Trump or Obama spied on Trump and they all knew about it. Probably both occurred.
Regardless,either scenario require an investigation.
the zero’s timing on the EO that allowed a wider dissemination of info was 2 fold. One so he would be out of office as the sh*t hit the fan, and second, so it would bog down the new admin, so making it easier for “shadow” gov’t operations. It would consume more investigative resources, so give soros and obungles more freedom.
The EO itself did 2 things as well, it undermines Trump, and makes it harder to out those who leak the info, giving cover to illegal activity.
Gord Tulk, no, Trump should keep things out of public display, and have private elements do the investigative work, so that it does not give a signal to the perps and allows them to “bleach” hard drives:-)) Any way, house select comities, special prosecutors, and various standing comities are basically useless neutered political organs that stick to certain protocols and laws, thusly making them powerless. And people who go before congress to answer questions, well that is a complete joke. Those questions that need to be answered are never asked, Mark Styen and Judith Curry demonstrated as much.
Unome, you still ewe bangin, or did they finally git class? The obungles OE pretty much validateds Trump’s assertions, butt fool like you are just partican stupid.
First rule of rope; always wait until you are certain they have enough to hang themselves with. The longer Trump waits on this one, the more hilarious it will be when fuse finally runs out on the powder keg. Yes, the fuse is already lit. Has been for sometime now.
James Comey provided all the information I needed to call for his sacking when he decided that … “no reasonable prosecutor would file charges on Hillary”. That OUTRAGEOUS, illogical conclusion (based on the known evidence and law) proved how deeply embedded in leftist partisan politics he was. We suffered 8 LONG YEARS through two AG’s who ignored more law than they enforced (including the laws they openly violated). We cannot tolerate another DAY of our Intelligence Agencies run amok We need to DRAIN THE SWAMP (our entire Federal Government: All Agencies, and employees) of Democrap political operatives and unhinged sympathizers.
It is OBVIOUS to everyone … except the biased Press … that Trump and his Associates WERE wiretapped … or eavesdropped … or surveilled. Whatever the term, it all is chilling to American FREEDOM from illegal search and seizure. Even more chilling to FREE and unencumbered elections. This whole sordid episode is going to end badly for the Democrap embeds. All the FAKE news in the world won’t save them now.
UnoMe. “This is what happens when you put a mentally enfeebled man-child in charge of things.”
Just because you’ve decided to go into politics, don’t assume you’ll win, UnoZero.
Anyway, now the Scientologist’s “squirrel” has been joined by Dems’ “Russians.” Each are cults masquerading as churches or pluralistic political parties.
Let’s see which story, indirect bugging of Trump or the Ruskies did it, has the real legs. Who’s now in charge of the “investigation.” Hmm, let’s see.
Trump kicked your buds’ butts and it drives you and other driveling socialists crazy because most of you will now have to get a real job, or possibly parole.
Yes, InoU. Judging by the bitch slapping you’re taking above, so do others.
The EO may have been a feeble attempt to cover the original criminal acts by a select few, but it was those same “few” who continued to leak.. The smoke doesn’t cover them…
Ruddy Giuliani as a Federal US Attorney drained the Democratic corruption in NYC, he is a prosecutor’s prosecutor.. Let the dogs out and appoint Ruddy the special prosecutor to investigate the DOJ/NSA/FBI..He knows where all the bodies are buried & the RICO process.
A competent AG would have Grand Juries already issuing Search warrants on the NYT/Wash Post/CNN looking for the Criminal Conspiracy connections… Obama & the media colluded in acts of treason…

… ha! … or at least ordering the surveillance of Obama, HER, and the press … setting the trap … filled with cheese
The proof is in the Washington Post and New York Times and Gaurdian and BBC, didn’t you read Nolte’s piece?
He probably thinks that the WaPo, NYT, BBC, and Guardian are fake news.
Boy, you really are stupid, ain’t cha. Yes, tapping into those around Trump by tapping into Russians is called using the back door entry, and is quite common, and not illegal. It’s the unmasking and dissemination that is illegal, even tho the info was acquired legally, but for political reasons.
In that this sort of thing needs explaining to you, means you ain’t in this conversation, your about as intellectually engaged here, as one of my dog’s farts.
UnoWhatever types don’t need to think about facts using their mind, they already know the truth in their heart, like all reign of terror statist utopists.
Others must prove them wrong, to their satisfaction.
Two words adequately describe UnoMe: “Intellectually dishonest”.
Uno would sooner admit a there was a Democrat who was ever wrong on anything. Never gonna happen. He’s too busy smelling his own farts.
