Will Obamas wiretapping of Trumps home bring down the democrat party?

[Roudy]

Can we maybe get some sort of color coded alert system for the world to know how snowflakes feel about Russia?

I honestly can't keep up.

Putin was good in 2012. When did he become bad?

Exactly. Obama laughed at Romney as if he was crazy, when he pointed out Russia as a threat to the US. The media should be playing that clip over and over.

Putin was good when Obabble and hiLIARy gave him 20% of the U.S.' uranium.

But after Trump won, the Dems had to blame someone other than the Truly Worst Candidate Ever, so they used Putin as the scapegoat.

 

[westwall]

westwall does not know there were more than one request, and that the court OK'd the second more limited request.

The level of misinformation, deliberate as well as uninformed, coming from the Alt Right is astounding.

Wrong, I did know. I also know that the first request was laughed out of the court so the obummer operatives had to come back for a second try. If you needed any evidence that the activity was less than ethical that is all you need to know.

 

[westwall]

That anti-American weasel Barack Hussein Obama will be swiftly brought to justice

Doubtful. But his operatives will be.

 

[boedicca]

It's Connect the Dots Time!!!! Obabble and his Indivisible Goon Squad are definitely working to destroy the Trump Presidency.



1. June 2016: FISA request. The Obama administration files a request with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) to monitor communications involving Donald Trump and several advisers. The request, uncharacteristically, is denied.

2. July: Russia joke. Wikileaks releases emails from the Democratic National Committee that show an effort to prevent Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) from winning the presidential nomination. In a press conference, Donald Trump refers to Hillary Clinton’s own missing emails, joking: “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 e-mails that are missing.” That remark becomes the basis for accusations by Clinton and the media that Trump invited further hacking.

3. October: Podesta emails. In October, Wikileaks releases the emails of Clinton campaign chair John Podesta, rolling out batches every day until the election, creating new mini-scandals. The Clinton campaign blames Trump and the Russians.

4. October: FISA request. The Obama administration submits a new, narrow request to the FISA court, now focused on a computer server in Trump Tower suspected of links to Russian banks. No evidence is found — but the wiretaps continue, ostensibly for national security reasons, Andrew McCarthy at National Review later notes. The Obama administration is now monitoring an opposing presidential campaign using the high-tech surveillance powers of the federal intelligence services.

5. January 2017: Buzzfeed/CNN dossier. Buzzfeed releases, and CNN reports, a supposed intelligence “dossier” compiled by a foreign former spy. It purports to show continuous contact between Russia and the Trump campaign, and says that the Russians have compromising information about Trump. None of the allegations can be verified and some are proven false. Several media outlets claim that they had been aware of the dossier for months and that it had been circulating in Washington.

6. January: Obama expands NSA sharing. As Michael Walsh later notes, and as the New York Times reports, the outgoing Obama administration “expanded the power of the National Security Agency to share globally intercepted personal communications with the government’s 16 other intelligence agencies before applying privacy protections.” The new powers, and reduced protections, could make it easier for intelligence on private citizens to be circulated improperly or leaked.

7. January: Times report. The New York Times reports, on the eve of Inauguration Day, that several agencies — the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Treasury Department are monitoring several associates of the Trump campaign suspected of Russian ties. Other news outlets also report the exisentence of “a multiagency working group to coordinate investigations across the government,” though it is unclear how they found out, since the investigations would have been secret and involved classified information.

8. February: Mike Flynn scandal. Reports emerge that the FBI intercepted a conversation in 2016 between future National Security Adviser Michael Flynn — then a private citizen — and Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. The intercept supposedly was part of routine spying on the ambassador, not monitoring of the Trump campaign. The FBI transcripts reportedly show the two discussing Obama’s newly-imposed sanctions on Russia, though Flynn earlier denied discussing them. Sally Yates, whom Trump would later fire as acting Attorney General for insubordination, is involved in the investigation. In the end, Flynn resigns over having misled Vice President Mike Pence (perhaps inadvertently) about the content of the conversation.

9. February: Times claims extensive Russian contacts. The New York Times cites “four current and former American officials” in reporting that the Trump campaign had “repeated contacts with senior Russian intelligence officials. The Trump campaign denies the claims — and the Times admits that there is “no evidence” of coordination between the campaign and the Russians. The White House and some congressional Republicans begin to raise questions about illegal intelligence leaks.

10. March: the Washington Post targets Jeff Sessions. The Washington Post reports that Attorney General Jeff Sessions had contact twice with the Russian ambassador during the campaign — once at a Heritage Foundation event and once at a meeting in Sessions’s Senate office. The Post suggests that the two meetings contradict Sessions’s testimony at his confirmation hearings that he had no contacts with the Russians, though in context (not presented by the Post) it was clear he meant in his capacity as a campaign surrogate, and that he was responding to claims in the “dossier” of ongoing contacts. The New York Times, in covering the story, adds that the Obama White House “rushed to preserve” intelligence related to alleged Russian links with the Trump campaign. By “preserve” it really means “disseminate”: officials spread evidence throughout other government agencies “to leave a clear trail of intelligence for government investigators” and perhaps the media as well....

Don Surber: Obama wire-tapped Trump Tower

 

[depotoo]

Jan NYT's-

The F.B.I. is leading the investigations, aided by the National Security Agency, the C.I.A. and the Treasury Department’s financial crimes unit. The investigators have accelerated their efforts in recent weeks but have found no conclusive evidence of wrongdoing, the officials said.

Obama is not in office, Trump is like Putin, and you cannot put together a consistent post.

We are discussion Obamas actions child.....this act of political terrorism has the ability to end your party.....

You are discussing your submission for fake news this morning.
Delusional owebo post, or, owebo misinformation post, trump talking point to his nut job cult followers, or, another example of how trump plays cult followers like owebo.

EXCLUSIVE: FBI ‘Granted FISA Warrant’ Covering Trump Camp’s Ties To Russia

You should work on your memory. The FBI investigated Trump for those ties, and a wiretap would be normal in an investigation wouldn't it?

So the D Bags had tried as early as JUNE to get the wire taps approved. Very telling.

Yup, tell us how much evidence was building up that Trump was selling us out to the Russians.

it's possible for Obama to have directly ordered the FBI to tap candidate Trump's phone. If so, he's in serious trouble and could be Indicted.

One is named Herbert Hoover, president

The other was the man who built and ran the FBI, J Edgar Hoover, a very famous man....I hope this was a joke

Yes, I know. I was just wondering if you did. Obabble abused the power of the Presidency. He's a Democrat.

J Edgar Hoover was not a politician, so not someone to bring down the Democrat Party, bub.

Pretty sure hoover served during a few democratic presidents

Read the OP

Don Surber: Obama wire-tapped Trump Tower

The democrat party is going down....it's exciting!!!!!!

 

[bripat9643]

What does that even mean? Did he have an account in a Russian bank? The grounds for the warrant was “possible financial and banking offenses.” Those are the basis for a criminal warrant, not a FISA warrant.

NOPE, FISA warrant. The NSA's job is to monitor communications coming from and going out to terrorists and foreign countries.

Wrong, moron. You don't know what you are talking about. The warrant specified suspicion of criminal activity, not espionage. They couldn't get a warrant on that basis. Criminal activity is not a legitimate basis for a FISA warrant. That's what criminal warrants are for. This whole thing stinks to high heaven.

 

[bripat9643]

Yep...he thought he was being clever.....he was denied a wire tap on Trump because he didn't have evidence of a crime...so obama went to the FISA court, because they require a lower standard of evidence to approve a wire tap.....and so obama was able to place a wire tap on the opposition political party candidate during an election....and now the story of this crime is coming out....

President Trump: Obama Tapped My Phones During Election

A president can't order a wiretap.

Presidents don't have to ORDER a wiretap. Just a suggestion to the right person would get the job done.

Really?

And what part about having to give probable cause to a judge, in order to get it, have you neglected to put in to the picture?

You neglected the part where they had probably cause. What was it?

 

[bripat9643]

And from the NY Times

During the 2016 campaign, Donald J. Trump’s second campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, had regular communications with his longtime associate — a former Russian military translator in Kiev who has been investigated in Ukraine on suspicion of being a Russian intelligence agent.

At the Republican National Convention in July, J. D. Gordon, a former Pentagon official on Mr. Trump’s national security team, met with the Russian ambassador, Sergey Kislyak, at a time when Mr. Gordon was helping keep hawkish language on Russia’s conflict with Ukraine out of the party’s platform.

And Jason Greenblatt, a former Trump Organization lawyer and now a special representative for international negotiations at the White House, met last summer with Rabbi Berel Lazar, the chief rabbi of Russia and an ally of Russia’s president, Vladimir V. Putin.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/03/us/politics/trump-russia-links-washington.html

You really need to stop the Russian bullshit. The cat's out of the bag that Obama and his cronies have set this all up.

Oh and Hillary was involved as well. Politico did an investigative piece that the Ukraine sabotaged Manafort by lying about a non existent investigation.

Jake. If you can accept what Obama and his people have done to honorable men never ever lecture anyone on morals again.

Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump backfire

from your article Tiny,


Russia’s effort was personally directed by Russian President Vladimir Putin, involved the country’s military and foreign intelligence services, according to U.S. intelligence officials. They reportedly briefed Trump last week on the possibility that Russian operatives might have compromising information on the president-elect. And at a Senate hearing last week on the hacking, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said “I don't think we've ever encountered a more aggressive or direct campaign to interfere in our election process than we've seen in this case.”

There’s little evidence of such a top-down effort by Ukraine. Longtime observers suggest that the rampant corruption, factionalism and economic struggles plaguing the country — not to mention its ongoing strife with Russia — would render it unable to pull off an ambitious covert interference campaign in another country’s election. And President Petro Poroshenko’s administration, along with the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington, insists that Ukraine stayed neutral in the race.

James Clapper is an Obama stooge, so his claims means absolutely nothing.
