The frantic effort to bury the anti-Trump conspiracy

Loading

 

Let there be no doubt. obama spied on Trump in a YUGE way. Readers of this blog know that this is not new to us. Some of the posts are here, here, here and here. It is the depth and breadth of the spying that is emerging from the swamp and the conspirators are leaking like sieves trying to spin the narrative and distract America from the truth. And the truth is here. Watch how this transpires.



How the Trump spying began

The denials

This could be seriously illegal.

Now watch these two accounts

Sure. That’s why there were no FISA warrants to spy on Russians, right?

Sure it was. That’s why the Brennan, Clapper and Comey told Trump all about it. /sarc

 

Meanwhile, here is some real collusion:

(Washington, DC) — Judicial Watch today released new documents from the U.S. Department of State showing the Podesta Group working on behalf of the pro-Russia Ukrainian political group “Party of Regions.” The new documents also show then-Obama White House Counsel John Podesta lobbying on behalf of his brother’s firm.

Judicial Watch obtained the documents in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the State Department filed on November 20, 2017, (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:17-cv-02489)). The lawsuit was filed after the State Department failed to respond to a September 13, 2017, FOIA request for:

  • All records of communication between any official, employee, or representative of the Department of State and any principal, employee, or representative of Podesta Group, Inc.

  • All records produced related to any meetings or telephonic communications between any official, employee, or representative of the Department of State and any principal, employee, or representative of Podesta Group, Inc.

  • All records regarding the European Centre for a Modern Ukraine.

  • The FOIA request covers the timeframe of January 1, 2012 to the present.

Meanwhile, Mueller chases down a more partisan interest:

Special counsel Robert Mueller and his team have reportedly met multiple times with an Ukrainian politician who was in touch with Trump associates about a plan to resolve the conflict between Ukraine and Russia-backed rebels.

It doesn’t get more obvious than that.

It’s rather disturbing that while on the one hand the deep state is screaming about the dangers of identifying a spy while they leak all the information necessary to identify him- Stefan Halper.  It is equally disturbing that both the NY Times and the WaPo are acting as useful idiots for the deep state and the conspiracy. After endless denials of spying on Trump- it’s here. They did spy on Trump. The conflicting reasons as seen above would be hilarious if they did not represent such un-American activity.

The quick take on the 4,100-word opus is that the Gray Lady “buried the lede.” Fair enough: You have to dig pretty deep to find that the FBI ran “at least one government informant” against the Trump campaign — and to note that the Times learned this because “current and former officials” leaked to reporters the same classified information about which, just days ago, the Justice Department shrieked “Extortion! when Congress asked about it.

But that’s not even the most important of the buried ledes. What the Times story makes explicit, with studious understatement, is that the Obama administration used its counterintelligence powers to investigate the opposition party’s presidential campaign.

That is, there was no criminal predicate to justify an investigation of any Trump-campaign official. So, the FBI did not open a criminal investigation. Instead, the bureau opened a counterintelligence investigation and hoped that evidence of crimes committed by Trump officials would emerge. But it is an abuse of power to use counterintelligence powers, including spying and electronic surveillance, to conduct what is actually a criminal investigation.

But of course, if the FBI had had that kind of evidence, they would not have had to open a counterintelligence investigation. They would not have had to use the Clinton campaign’s opposition research — the Steele dossier — to get FISA-court warrants. They would instead have opened a criminal investigation, just as they did on Clinton when there was evidence that she committed felonies.

To the contrary, the bureau opened a counterintelligence investigation in the absence of any (a) incriminating evidence, or (b) evidence implicating the Trump campaign in Russian espionage. At the height of the 2016 presidential race, the FBI collaborated with the CIA to probe an American political campaign. They used foreign-intelligence surveillance and informants.

The duplicity of the FBI and CIA is mind-boggling:

If you or I had set up an unauthorized private communications system for official business for the patent purpose of defeating federal record-keeping and disclosure laws; if we had retained and transmitted thousands of classified emails on this non-secure system; if we had destroyed tens of thousands of government records; if we had carried out that destruction while those records were under subpoena; if we had lied to the FBI in our interview — well, we’d be writing this column from the federal penitentiary in Leavenworth. Yet, in a feat of dizzying ratiocination, Director Comey explained that to prosecute Mrs. Clinton would be to hold her to a nitpicking, selective standard of justice not imposed on other Americans.

WaPo thinks we’re all idiots:

I’ll leave you with some tweets from the inimitable Kim Strassel:

The answer is absolutely. The greatest political conspiracy in the history of this country. Had hillary won, we’d never know any of it.

She wasn’t supposed to lose.

Remember wen the MSM, if they smelled blood in the water would get into a feeding frenzy? Party affiliation didn’t matter. They would go for the jugular.
Gary Hart as to Jennifer Flowers and of course Wilbur Mills and Fanny Fox come to mind. Scandal, out came the knives.

Now, protect the leftist scum and their RINO sloth backstabbers Truth be Damned!

So much for the B.S. that is referred to as a Free Press. All lying sacks of SH..!

on May 10, 1933, Hitler burned books in Berlin, over 20,000 volumes tossed into the flames Now,the left just alters the contend of every book published. there is not a publishing house in American that has not a plurality of demorats on its board. sooner Trump will put the hammer down. never screw with the President of the United States.

“Hey, we weren’t spying. We simply sneaked into the campaign pretending to be part of it so we could find out what you were doing and report it back to the Democrats.”

I guess it is officially a myth that any natural born citizen in America can become President. It seems there is a secret society of Democrat and Republican elitists who have to bless it first. Of course, while Obama was trying to make people believe HE believed Hillary was “the most capable person to ever run for President” (Obama? Lie?), he didn’t have much faith that the bitch wouldn’t screw this up. So, he, for the Democrat party, not for any perceptible national security threat, infiltrated and spied on an opposition party campaign. This MUST be fully run to ground and those involved prosecuted to the FULLEST extent of the law. Unless, of course, the Democrats are OK with Trump doing this to them.

So, how clean can Trump possibly be? Wiretaps, spys, almost 3 years of investigations and… NOTHING? I never imagined Trump was such a choirboy.

GREAT article, by the way.

October 2016, after being rejected in July of 2016, the FISA court approved spying on CARTER PAGE.
Using that opening the deep state spied on Trump, et al.
But now, almost two full years after CARTER PAGE was considered a Russian spy, he still walks free.
At what point is it clear that it was all just a set -up?
If CARTER PAGE was NOT a Russian spy, as is clear from the lack of charges against him, why continue to spy on his associates?

This house of cards has fallen.

@Deplorable Me: Those listening to Levin and Bongino this comes as no surprise. The “investigation” is a set-up Rosenstein is in on it up to his tie tack. It involved as Hillary blabbed 17 agencies not just CIA and FBI, this is taking so long, despite lack of evidence, because loads of evidence proving it was the previous administration and DNC that were meddling in our election must be destroyed, misfiled ect., thats a lot of sifting.

The Regresivists and the leftists will do anything say anything to ruin what Trump has been doing Lowering Taxes cutting back on Regulations and stopping the invasion of America by the Useless Nations cutting back on red tape and the buricrats

More evidence the pucker factor is really setting in for the coupsters. This is going to get even more entertaining, especially if and when the indictments start rolling out.

@another vet: We need to start a pool as to who gets chucked under the bus, Brennen is toast, The NY times pravda piece is trying to protect appointees. And at least one government informant met several times with Mr. Page and Mr. Papadopoulos, current and former officials said. That has become a politically contentious point, with Mr. Trump’s allies questioning whether the F.B.I. was spying on the Trump campaign or trying to entrap campaign officials. leaving an opening for that possibility.
We cannot allow the liberal propaganda machine drive the narrative. How fast can they back peddle after abetting the coup attempt?

@another vet: @kitt: We simply need a AG and DOJ that takes this seriously.

@Deplorable Me: This is still on going, who gave Stormys Lawyer information that there was a money exchange these are private financial records only given to the government in transactions over 10K, 130 K sure would be reported, Trumps Lawyer ding ding ding. They never stopped, the deep state is still playing the get Trump game. Judicial Watch needs to FOIA every record in every intelligence dept, all 17 dealing with Trump and his campaign, then some weeding of the garden has to happen.
Every government employee that used an alias when doing official business needs to be fired no benefits, or retro strip them.

@kitt:

We need to start a pool as to who gets chucked under the bus, Brennen is toast

And after that happens, we can start another one for who will be the first to toss BHO under the bus. Hillary’s “get out of jail free” card in order to throw the election to her should lead to charges like perjury, obstruction of justice etc. The “insurance plan” on the other hand is arguably sedition and possibly treason. If those charges start being pushed someone will dime him out.

@Deplorable Me: We’ll soon find out if they are slow walking this or don’t have the moral courage to do what is right. If the latter is the case, “We the people” are going to have a very big decision to make.

Nixon was only involved in the cover-up of the Watergate operation. Obama has ORDERED Crossfire Hurricane and used federal government resources to carry it out. I bet Trump will have Sessions run this down or he will have an Attorney General that will.

Greg, you see any reasonable cause to be suspicious and conduct an investigation in this?

@another vet: Leaking the transcripts of Petraeus to the press thats a loooong prison sentence in itself. Hillary is a dead fish but her security clearance should be ended. Along with every former Obama admin stooge. The “shadow government” needs to be ended thats easy prosecute Kerry, use him as an example.

@Deplorable Me: Greg is the persona of SGT Schultz, ” I see nothing, I hear nothing!!!” only Greg must add, I know nothing !
