thanks but i thought you must have something NEW for the extraordinary claims being made here.

time and again you guys pretend this doc proves that US security forces were purposely conducting widespread spying on US citizens, when in fact mostly this is about sloppy work and worse reporting of the errors made. there appears to be no proof that Obama or anyone else was purposely spying for political gain either side any party...

but that is how you guys sell it. you guys love to pretend this is deep state plot, where as it would seem to be more about people not doing their jobs very well...

You can ignore all the evidence, I known you would.

However, I'm not posting this thread for the people that will ignore any, and all evidence of wrong doing by the Obama administration.

The report now being released to the House will show that the FISA abuse was against Trump, and his team, and was done for political reasons, hence why every democrats voted against the report being released.

He can just be knowingly engaging in clandestine intelligence activities. Something eminently reasonable given his actions. And the FISA stuff started in 2014....WAY before Trump.

And then 90 days in....FISA requires that you prove that you got intelligence from the FISA application. IE they had to have proved to a court that they got actual evidence from having a FISA on Manafort. They appear to have renewed it several times....then it lapsed. They re-opened it again in 2016, and got it renewed as well.

And while Manafort may have been charged with a few crimes, we don't know what he will be charged with in the end. So buckle up! (It would suck to be Manafort right now)

well now we are getting there. IF so you have a case, but todate all you have is poor workmanship and accusations and YOU KNOW IT.

yes you know it, otherwise you would post the proof, instead of 99 pages ....

yep you would , but you don't just like you never have, just like no rightwing site has ever managed to do.

instead you pretend that the proof is in there, but never actaully point it out.


If i am so wrong Stburr, prove me wrong, post the proof you found inside those 99 pages...

post it stburr.

But FISA was supposed to ONLY be used for suspected terrorists..foreign spies here in the US.

Manafort is not a foreign spy here in the US.

The intent of FISA got changed and it wasn't until 2013 that we all found out FISA was being abused and being used on US citizens.

You need to understand that the FISA system can be abused even if there is FISA court authorization.

For instance, they can look at any communications Manafort may have had with Russians, but you can't look at Manafort's routine communications of the Trump campaign, which is what Nunes said was happening.

Well because all of the abuse of the FISA system was by the Obama administration.

I told everyone that we pasted beyond the tipping point, and the Russian collusion story would be proven false. This was the first step in that process.


At the committee's meeting Thursday morning, Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., offered a motion to allow all House members to review a brief report prepared by the Republican majority summarizing the panel's investigation into what GOP members call "FISA abuse." (That is a reference to the secret court set up by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.) The motion passed the committee on a party-line vote.

It's not just Obama's administration that abused it.

Bush let it happen as well back in 2005.
Bush Lets U.S. Spy on Callers Without Courts - NYTimes.com


The problem is that it was allowed to continue and grow.
We, the people, found out that the secret government (FISA system) had expanded and was being abused.

FISA is supposed to be for tracking foreign spies here on US soil.

So, you can't even be bothered to read the evidence, I see.

This isn't a situation were you can read a couple of sentences in a report, you need to read the entire report to understand the scope of what was going on.

If you refuse to take the time to inform yourself, I'm sorry, but I can't help you.

Peter King said, the spread sheet Susan Rice had, read like a daily log of all Trump campaign communications.
Not all Trumps foreign communications. ALL communications.
Then we find out 30,000 4th amendment violations in 2016 of non-authorized access to citizens privacy.
