Mischaracterization? So what's wrong with asking questions about the FBI’s troubling spy tactics on the Trump team being exposed?

BOMBSHELL: FBI Used Secret Program To Gather Information On Trump Campaign, No Judge Needed, Report Says | Daily Wire

The Intercept further noted that lawyers with the Justice Department specifically stated in 2008 that the FBI did not have the legal authority to demand that tech companies hand over records beyond the four types listed, but "FBI agents may have expected that other companies, especially small ones, would be too ignorant or weak to fight back."

I hope after this report comes out we can finally impeach Hillary and vacate Obama's two election victories.

Is it convenient that Comey pulled a 'no-show' to testify behind closed doors yesterday with Clapper, Brennan and Rogers? Well...

“Because of a previously scheduled engagement, Jim will not be testifying at this hearing,” Comey’s attorney Daniel Richman (the Columbia professor memos leaker, now retained by Comey, hence attorney-client privilege)...humm, no Comey tweets since that announcement. Comey's being pretty quite right now. No book tour interviews?...hummm?


And here it is.

The New York Times confirms Trump’s claims, which have been frequently dismissed by major media outlets as kooky and conspiratorial, true. Under the Obama administration, the intelligence community DOJ officials spied on Trump’s campaign.

Operation “Crossfire Hurricane” is what they called it. It was a super double secret operation that only a handful of agents and DOJ officials were aware of.

Agents, “obtained phone records and other documents using national security letters — a secret type of subpoena” and “at least one government informant met several times with Mr. Page and Mr. Papadopoulos.”

The timing of the report is…suspect:

I believe it is Luther who has been saying the police state tactics would all be exposed by July 2018.

His prediction looks correct.

There are no "troubling tactics." You want there to be.


So you can try to dismiss the result you know is coming. He a crook. A fraud. A conman. A felon.

You know its coming. Just be ready. Your world will go on.

Here's a meme free post for ya Mick

Please notice how the MSM's are circling the wagons right before the IG report comes out and exposing all of the rats... they went "rogue" and Obama never knew about it. Sure.

Next thing Obama is going to say, just like the IRS targeting conservative groups... "I found out like every one else, through news reports..."

This is bigger the WATERGATE my friends.

I guess when you say circling the wagons you mean not saying much about a report that has not been released or carrying on like its going to take down the deep state.

Weiner has lots to say. Much will come out.

In all seriousness, I've learned to temper my expectations...I just have a sixth sense that they wanna sweep as much under the rug as possible and keep it toned down to a Level 1...nonetheless, rumors have it, that it's pretty damning. Time will tell, who knows if the American people and the world as a whole will be able to see everything.

I understand. It is the norm for the Elite to get away with everything.

Q says no deals. I will choose to believe him for now.:)
