This makes me want to puke. It starts June 2016 when Obama asks the FISA Court to monitor the communications of Donald Trump and his advisors, a request that was then denied.
But it gets worse. You can read the timeline of events.
"In summary: the Obama administration sought, and eventually obtained, authorization to eavesdrop on the Trump campaign; continued monitoring the Trump team even when no evidence of wrongdoing was found; then relaxed the NSA rules to allow evidence to be shared widely within the government, virtually ensuring that the information, including the conversations of private citizens, would be leaked to the media."
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.
They tried again with more success. Wrap your head around this - the President of the United States is demanding a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) to tap the opposing Party Candidate's Communications.
October 2016: 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.
TeamObama has a History of this - the used a FISA Court (and then LIED about it in a Congressional Hearing) to do these Wire Taps against a Fox News Reporter (James Rosen) and all of his Family. The used the FISA Court Order to Bug/Wire Tap the Associated Press - their employees and offices.
And then they did this:
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.
The new rules, which were issued in an unclassified document, entitled Procedures for the Availability or Dissemination of Raw Signals Intelligence Information by the National Security Agency (NSA), significantly relaxed longstanding limits on what the NSA may do with the information gathered by its most powerful surveillance operations.
These operations are largely unregulated by American wiretapping laws. Surveillances include collecting satellite transmissions, phone calls, and emails that cross network switches abroad, and messages between people abroad that cross domestic network switches.
On January 19th - Obama signed another Executive Order that "changed" the succession line-up at the US Department of Justice - MOVING "his" operative UP and those that could not be counted on to take the Obama Orders DOWN. When it was discovered - Sally Yates was Fired and the EO was cancelled and regular order was restored. Still an Obama Appointee, but not an Operative whose Loyalty was ONLY to Obama's Organization.
It's Breath Taking ........ I've never in my entire life seen anything even close to this type of action.
The Word for it is CLEAR ...... it can only be said in whispers
Scary Times we live in.
Yah. You usually do that when the Republican nominee is committing treason. Good job Obama. The gift that just keeps on giving.
I'm glad he was watching out for us. Trump needs someone watching over him at all times.
