White House Demands Congressional Investigation Into Obama's Abuse of Power President Donald Trump is calling for an immediate investigation into Barack Obama's handling of intelligence gathering tactics leading up to the 2016 election. Press Secretary Sean Spicer wrote on Twitter Sunday morning that until Congress completes an oversight investigation, the White House will not comment any further on the matter. "Reports concerning potentially politically motivated investigations immediately ahead of the 2016 election are very troubling," Spicer said. "President Donald J. Trump is requesting that as part of their investigation into Russian activity, the congressional intelligence committees exercise their oversight authority to determine whether executive branch investigative powers were abused in 2016. "Neither the White House nor the President will comment further until such oversight is conducted," he added. This news comes just one day after President Trump took the weekend by storm early Saturday morning, claiming that Barack Obama had his "wires tapped" at his home and office in New York City during the election. “Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my ‘wires tapped’ in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!” he wrote. “Is it legal for a sitting President to be "wire tapping" a race for president prior to an election? Turned down by court earlier. A NEW LOW!” https://townhall.com/tipsheet/justi...stigation-into-obamas-abuse-of-power-n2294356
Sorry righties,nothing is going to take attention off of Trump colluding with an enemy government to win The Presidency.
Timeline to Obama’s Unlawful Spying on Opposition Party’s Candidate at Trump Tower Jim Hoft Mar 5th, 2017 1:43 am 60 Comments Conservative Treehouse released a timeline of the unlawful spying by the Obama administration on the opposition party’s candidate in Trump Tower. The list includes the revelation that the Obama administration continued to spy on Trump Tower and opposition party after October even after no evidence was found of wrongdoing. 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. The dossier included inaccurate accusations of businessman Trump on Russian hookers. The dossier was complete rubbage. http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/201...ying-opposition-partys-candidate-trump-tower/
You are so consistently wrong that you've become a contrary indicator Tony. See, what has happened here is a community organizer decided to go to war with a street fighter. Only the street fighter plays for keeps. Your man Obama crossed over into Watergate territory. He decided to use the national intelligence apparatus against a political opponent which is highly illegal. Now comes the backlash and the consequences. The press and the leftists coup plotters have been firing rubber bullets at Trump for weeks. Now Trump is doing the shooting and HE is using REAL bullets. You mess with the bull and you get the horns.
Me: What enemy government? You: Russia Me: Since when is Russia an enemy government? You: Well technically they aren't...but they used to be...just like the Japanese used to be...and England! We can't trust any of them. Me: Sounds a little xenophobic to me, but anyway how did Trump collude with them? You: The Russians hacked the democrats email servers and showed the American public how corrupt we democrats are and voters didn't want to vote for us after that. That's called colluding because Trump benefited from it. Me:What evidence do you have Trump actually had communications with Russia? You: I have an article from an obscure left wing blog that says so and CNN interviewed the 16 year old author who lives in his parents basement on how he read it on Reddit, so it has to be true! Me: Well I can't argue with that! Where can I buy a "fuck Trump" t-shirt and get a bandana mask so I can start rioting to help show Americans how bad Trump is fucking up our cities?
The idea that FISA could be used against political enemies always seemed far-fetched. Now it might not be. Read more at: http://www.nationalreview.com/article/443768/obama-fisa-trump-wiretap
