…but also investigate Obama:
Whether Barack Obama ordered the surveillance of Donald Trump during the transition is not the question. He would never have had to. In fact, he would have been highly unlikely to have done so for obvious legal and practical/political reasons. Instead, supporters of the then president in a position to authorize or activate such surveillance would normally know or assume his wishes anyway without having to be told and could act accordingly.
That is the way of the world since there was a world.
Yup. I noted the same thing in the IRS situation (though it wouldn’t surprise me at all if there were exchanges between the White House and Lerner that we’ve never seen because they destroyed the emails).
This is why I live in John Wayne country… the rest of the world has gone insane. Investigation doesn’t exist anymore because facts don’t matter. All you need is a juicy innuendo repeated incessantly.
Their are no adults and no shame. Repercussions only exist if you deny the mob.
Humans need to start over.
A great cleansing “flame” may soon sweep across much of the world, burning out much insanity of political correctness. And hopefully also the uncivilized plague the insanity has allowed to grow unchecked.
“I noted the same thing in the IRS situation (though it wouldn’t surprise me at all if there were exchanges between the White House and Lerner that we’ve never seen because they destroyed the emails).”
I would look for the same things revealed about the IRS situation, …parallel lines of communication in the security services. In the IRS case, the head of the IRS government employees union showed up in the WH visitation logs 300+ times during the Obama administration, and he wasn’t taking the public tours! What the particular case is for the NSA/FBI parallel communication link is (which legally should not exist) someone more knowledgeable than I would have to say.
Depending on how many people from Trump’s transition were surveilled, it could look less like incidental collection and more like targeting foreign individuals with the intent to circumvent the law in order to spy on Trump. Obama changing the rules on collection, protection, and dissemination of surveillance, it shows that Obama was complicit.
