Barack Obama Is A Liar: He Approved Massive Surveillance On American Citizens...

[BlindBoo]

LOL Fun stuff. But do you think you can keep the Obamahatefest going for another three and a half years?

I find the Watergate comparison to be extremely amusing.

Not that there isn't massive surveillance and data collection going on, but trying to blame it all on one administration.

Very weak defense. Clapper got away with lying to Congress. Him and Obama are liars. They spied on millions of American Citizens.

Probably has something to do with the classified briefings we peons are not privy to.

I'm betting that they are still spying and collecting data on us.

 

[Doc1]

Same way Holder did

I absolutely do not except it as fact that they callously lie about it if for no other reason than you claim they did.

My point is that spying on the citizens is nothing new and it is disingenuous to try and blame one administration for it.

It was going on before 9-11, got a real big boost post 9-11. Obama did not end it and made improvements to it, which can be seen as not a good thing.

Both Barack Obama and his Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, have been proven to be liars. So why should we believe them when they say they didn't conduct surveillance on the Trump Campaign?


The former Director of National Intelligence under the Obama administration, James Clapper, denied there was a secret court order for surveillance at Trump Tower. Speaking on NBC's Meet The Press, Clapper said that in the national intelligence activity he oversaw, "there was no such wiretap activity mounted against the president, the president-elect at the time, as a candidate or against his campaign."

Clapper's comments come after President Trump accused former President Barack Obama of wiretapping Trump Tower in the last stages of the 2016 presidential campaign, and at the same time as the White House announced it would request a Congressional probe into whether Obama abused "executive branch investigative powers."

Some have pointed out the irony of relying on Clapper's word to deny Trump's word.

Senator Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat on the intelligence committee asked Clapper: “Does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions, or hundreds of millions, of Americans?”

Clapper replied, untruthfully: “No sir,” rubbing his head. “Not wittingly.”

After Snowden's documents confirmed Clapper lied, the former intelligence director offered a shifting series of explanations for his publicly uttered falsehood. He first said it was the “least untruthful” answer he could provide in an unclassified hearing. Later he said he misunderstood which particular communications collection program Wyden was asking about – despite Wyden’s staff alerting Clapper’s before the hearing as to the question – and apologized to the committee...

And the New York Times back on Jan 20th already claimed that four agencies were in a "broad investigation" of Trump looking at Trump staff communications, and that information was forwarded to the White House. Think about that for a second. What authority did agencies have to wiretap Trump? Clapper said no authority was given by FISA.

Is Clapper lying? If so, why would he? If FISA gave the authority for wiretaps, then it would had all been perfectly "legal", although still very dubious. He's risking his career by making such an emphatic statement.
If FISA did not authorize any such wiretaps, then why was the FBI, CIA, Treasury Dept, and NSA wiretapping the Trump staff as the NYT reported? Was the NYT and every other MSM outlet lying about the "investigations" against Trump? We know for a fact Flynn was illegally wiretapped. If they were tapping the Russian ambassador as many liberals are trying to claim, then that recording would had been archived and secured and never used since an American was identified on it. Instead, it was leaked. So whoever was recording wasn't doing so according to FISA guidelines and committed a felony, even Rep. Jim Himes (D) on the House Intel Committee agrees with that.

Maybe Clapper did not lie about it. Maybe Clapper told the truth that there was no court order. Watch the video it is only 2:31 minutes. Judge Napolitano may have an explanation for everybody concerning the wire tapping. Maybe the FBI was not directly involved.

Judge Napolitano: President can legally order surveillance

There was no evidence that Flynn phone was wiretapped. Somebody from your group just plug that in support of Trump. If there was an illegal wiretapped against Flynn your lying Trump could have came out blasting long before last Sunday morning. Don't you think?
Trump woke up Sunday morning, came out series of tweets, without discussing with his own team or advisers.......... *I just found out that Obama wiretapped Trump Tower*........... That is according to Breitbart a very reputable fake news media. Give me a break....
Our intelligence wiretapped or gather intelligence against Russian diplomats and others here in US. They do the same to us in Russia and other places they can get. That is called espionage that is going n since the early 50s. There is nothing new.



GOP Hill leaders back away from Trump on wiretap allegations

(CNN)The top Republicans investigating Russia's interference in the US election declined Tuesday to back up President Donald Trump's claims that then-President Barack Obama wiretapped his Manhattan headquarters last year -- leaving the White House on its own to explain the stunning allegation.

When pressed on whether he believed Trump's allegations, House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes -- one of Trump's strongest supporters in the House and a member of his transition team -- brushed aside the President's allegations.

 

[ColonelAngus]

How did Clapper get away with lying to Congress? Crazy.

You know why.

It's ok for anyone with Obama ties to lie.

It's only bad to lie if you have an (R) after your name or are considered a conservative.

Graham ready to subpoena for Trump wiretap information

Graham ready to subpoena for Trump wiretap information
By Manu Raju and Tom LoBianco, CNN
Updated 5:04 PM EST, Wed March 08, 2017

Story highlights
The administration has not provided any information about President Donald Trump's allegations
Republican leaders in the Capitol have largely distanced themselves from the accusations
(CNN) Sen. Lindsey Graham said Wednesday he is ready to subpoena the intelligence agencies for evidence that would prove President Donald Trump's claims that he was wiretapped last year by then-President Barack Obama.

Asked by CNN if he would subpoena for any evidence, the South Carolina Republican said, "Yes."

"All I can say is that the country needs an answer to this. The current President has accused the former President of basically wiretapping his campaign," Graham said, one day after he joined Trump for a one-on-one lunch at the White House.


Graham and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, a Rhode Island Democrat, sent a letter to FBI Director James Comey and the acting deputy attorney general Wednesday, requesting any information regarding Trump's claims.

"We request that the Department of Justice provide us copies of any warrant applications and court orders — redacted as necessary to protect intelligence sources and methods that may be compromised by disclosure, and to protect any ongoing investigations — related to wiretaps of President Trump, the Trump Campaign, or Trump Tower," Graham and Whitehouse wrote.

When pressed on whether he believed Trump's allegations, House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes -- one of Trump's strongest supporters in the House and a member of his transition team -- brushed aside the President's allegations.

No evidence that Flynn was being tapped? It doesn't matter it the Russian was being tapped, once an American is identified the recording must undergo "minimization procedures" according to FISA rules. That was clearly violated as that recording was circulated around and leaked. The mishandling of that information is a felony.

But the is not all that happened. The NYT reported four agencies were monitoring wiretaps of several Trump staff members. So either they were spying on his staff directly, without warrants, or they were misusing wiretaps of Russians in violation of FISA. Either way, it was ILLEGAL. Which is exactly why Trump is demanding the intelligence oversight committee look into the matter. It is not up to the President to present evidence, that is what the committees get paid to do.

If the wiretaps were legal, then why hasn't the FBI released the warrants, or copies of the FISA authorization to tap Russians been released?

Obama spying on every American = Obama Good

Trump saying Obama spied on him = Trump Bad

Snowflake logic

There is no evidence Obama spied on every American.

Trump saying Obama spied on him and providing no evidence means it is true.

Trump Davidian logic.

Both Barack Obama and his Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, have been proven to be liars. So why should we believe them when they say they didn't conduct surveillance on the Trump Campaign?


The former Director of National Intelligence under the Obama administration, James Clapper, denied there was a secret court order for surveillance at Trump Tower. Speaking on NBC's Meet The Press, Clapper said that in the national intelligence activity he oversaw, "there was no such wiretap activity mounted against the president, the president-elect at the time, as a candidate or against his campaign."

Clapper's comments come after President Trump accused former President Barack Obama of wiretapping Trump Tower in the last stages of the 2016 presidential campaign, and at the same time as the White House announced it would request a Congressional probe into whether Obama abused "executive branch investigative powers."

Some have pointed out the irony of relying on Clapper's word to deny Trump's word.

Senator Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat on the intelligence committee asked Clapper: “Does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions, or hundreds of millions, of Americans?”

Clapper replied, untruthfully: “No sir,” rubbing his head. “Not wittingly.”

After Snowden's documents confirmed Clapper lied, the former intelligence director offered a shifting series of explanations for his publicly uttered falsehood. He first said it was the “least untruthful” answer he could provide in an unclassified hearing. Later he said he misunderstood which particular communications collection program Wyden was asking about – despite Wyden’s staff alerting Clapper’s before the hearing as to the question – and apologized to the committee...

James Clapper Denies Obama Wiretapped Trump | Zero Hedge

Do you want us to believe that Zero Hedge supposed to be credible? You must be desperate.

Zero Hedge is a pro Russian and anti American news media.

Uhh...it's on video what Clapper said.

And the New York Times back on Jan 20th already claimed that four agencies were in a "broad investigation" of Trump looking at Trump staff communications, and that information was forwarded to the White House. Think about that for a second. What authority did agencies have to wiretap Trump? Clapper said no authority was given by FISA.

Is Clapper lying? If so, why would he? If FISA gave the authority for wiretaps, then it would had all been perfectly "legal", although still very dubious. He's risking his career by making such an emphatic statement.
If FISA did not authorize any such wiretaps, then why was the FBI, CIA, Treasury Dept, and NSA wiretapping the Trump staff as the NYT reported? Was the NYT and every other MSM outlet lying about the "investigations" against Trump? We know for a fact Flynn was illegally wiretapped. If they were tapping the Russian ambassador as many liberals are trying to claim, then that recording would had been archived and secured and never used since an American was identified on it. Instead, it was leaked. So whoever was recording wasn't doing so according to FISA guidelines and committed a felony, even Rep. Jim Himes (D) on the House Intel Committee agrees with that.

So you know more than Rep. Senator Devin Nunes Chairman of Senate Intelligence Committee? Nunes a die hard supporter cannot even support Trump.
There was no evidence that Flynn phone was wiretapped. Somebody from your group just plug that in support of Trump. If there was an illegal wiretapped against Flynn your lying Trump could have came out blasting long before last Sunday morning. Don't you think?
Trump woke up Sunday morning, came out series of tweets, without discussing with his own team or advisers.......... *I just found out that Obama wiretapped Trump Tower*........... That is according to Breitbart a very reputable fake news media. Give me a break....
Our intelligence wiretapped or gather intelligence against Russian diplomats and others here in US. They do the same to us in Russia and other places they can get. That is called espionage that is going n since the early 50s. There is nothing new.

The fact is that Republicans are abandoning Trump. I think they know more about the facts than you do. Apparently the Trump Administration has provided no proof of this. Subpoenaing the Trump Administration to get information on Trump's allegations. That is silly. If it never happened there no information can be provided.
