News alerts…..one after another…..hard to keep up with which side is in the lead….
And it is important….to all Americans.
Why? Because we are hearing the term 'watergate' tossed around.
Difference between Watergate and the Obama Spying?
Watergate was a failed attempt by a political party to spy on their political enemies.
Let’s bring it what we know up to date:
1. “[In] the last few weeks, Congressional and Senate Republicans, few of whom seem particularly enamored of Trump himself, are starting to push back, signaling their willingness to enforce established laws that prohibit activities like leaking intelligence intercepts for domestic partisan political purposes and lying to Congress.
2. …New York Times reporter Mark Mazzetti. In April 2017, his byline appeared on a story reporting that the starting point for the FBI probe into Donald Trump’s supposed collusion with Russia was a trip that a fringe Trump adviser named Carter Page made to Moscow in July 2016. Yet a few weeks ago, Mazzetti was bylined on another story that effectively retracts the earlier one. The FBI investigation didn’t begin with this Trump campaign hanger-on—oh, no. Rather, it started with a different Trump campaign hanger-on.
3. …the Times, which rejected the dossier before embracing it, is now backing off the dossier again. For all of the newsprint and air-time used to push the dossier for 14 months, nothing that hadn’t already been publicly reported prior to the 2016 campaign has panned out, nor have any of the accusations regarding Trump. There is also the fact dossier may have been used to secure a FISA warrant to spy on Trump’s associates, and therefore on the candidate himself, which would be a political scandal of a magnitude likely to transcend partisan divides.
4. …if the FBI and Department of Justice used a piece of opposition research paid for by a political campaign as evidence for a warrant to intercept the communications of a rival campaign—and the questions asked by congressional investigators suggest they did—then we are now living in a very different America than the one that generations of civil libertarians and small-government conservatives alike desired to maintain,…
5. The DOJ, the FBI and perhaps the CIA … embroiled in a scandal likely to have long-lasting and sweeping consequences …. the increasing likelihood that the Steele dossier was used as a platform for a Russian information operation, which successfully managed to leverage nearly the entire American press corps and sections of the security bureaucracy toward the goal of encouraging Americans to rip their own country apart.”
Did Russia Use Fusion GPS to Target Donald Trump?
What is surprising is the degradation to which so many Democrat supporters on this board have sunk to, simply shrugging off the implications of spying on innocent Americans, and using corrupt methods to do so.
There are two groups that refer to themselves as Liberals.....but one is more correctly an iteration of the Stasi.
