GasMan · Apr 3, 2017

WOW....too fucking bad the idiot liberals couldn't leave Trump alone....

Illegal wire tapping? Not exactly...just unmasking PROTECTED AMERICAN CITIZENS who are caught up in incidental monitoring....in this case(s) just happened to be the incoming President, his officials, family and confidants.

And Obama has his hand in it as well....go figure.

Remember Susan Rice? The You Tube Benghazi video in the Rose Garden?

Seriously Democrats...have you pieces of shit ever been at a lower point in your political lifetimes?

919 go fuck yourself.

And the NYT has been sitting on it for over 48 hours.

[h=1]Trump Tries to Deflect Russia Scrutiny, Citing ‘Crooked Scheme’ by Obama[/h]

President Trump on Friday. He unleashed a series of Twitter posts on Monday, claiming once again that the Obama administration spied on him, and he attacked Hillary Clinton.
ERIC THAYER FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES

[h=6]By PETER BAKER and MATTHEW ROSENBERG
[/h][h=6]APRIL 3, 2017[/h]
WASHINGTON — President Trump sought to turn attention away from the Russia investigation on Monday, saying that “the real story” was what he called a “crooked scheme against us” by President Barack Obama’s team to mine American intelligence reports for information about him during last year’s presidential campaign.

The president’s broadside against his predecessor coincided with a string of reports in conservative news media outlets that Susan E. Rice, Mr. Obama’s national security adviser, requested the identities of Americans who were cited in intelligence reports about surveillance of foreign officials, and who were connected with Mr. Trump’s campaign or transition.

Former national security officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, described the requests as normal and said they were justified by the need for the president’s top security adviser to understand the context of reports sent to her by the nation’s intelligence agencies.

The process of “unmasking” Americans whose names are redacted in intelligence reports, they said, is not the same thing as leaking them publicly.

But Mr. Trump and his allies seized on the news media reports to bolster his case that he was targeted by the departing administration for political reasons. As the F.B.I. and congressional committees investigate contacts that associates of Mr. Trump had with Russian officials and business figures, the president argued that he was the victim of dirty tricks and that, if anything, it was associates of his defeated opponent, Hillary Clinton, who were doing the bidding of Vladimir V. Putin’s Russia.

“Such amazing reporting on unmasking and the crooked scheme against us by @foxandfriends,” Mr. Trump wrote on Twitter early Monday morning in the opening burst of four messages aimed at Mr. Obama, Mrs. Clinton and the Democrats. “‘Spied on before nomination.’ The real story.”

In another post on Twitter later in the morning, he added: “@FoxNews from multiple sources: ‘There was electronic surveillance of Trump, and people close to Trump. This is unprecedented.’ @FBI”

At his daily briefing later in the day, Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, said he would not discuss the reports about Ms. Rice specifically. “There’s a troubling direction that some of this is going in, but we’re going to let this review go on before we jump to it,” he said.

He chided reporters for showing more interest in the investigation into contacts between Mr. Trump’s team and Russia than in the conduct of Mr. Obama’s White House.

Mr. Trump first accused Mr. Obama a month ago of tapping his phones at Trump Tower during the campaign last year. He has refused to back down, even though Mr. Obama and his top aides have adamantly denied it. T he F.B.I. director and the former director of national intelligence have said the phone tapping charge is not true, and congressional leaders of both parties have said they have seen no evidence of it.

In an interview broadcast on BBC on Monday evening, John O. Brennan, the C.I.A. director under Mr. Obama, chided Mr. Trump for making an unsubstantiated allegation against the former president. Mr. Trump, he said, has “a solemn obligation” to provide information “that is accurate, that is measured and that is not just a spontaneous or impulsive number of words.”

While other officials have said there is no convincing evidence so far of collusion between Mr. Trump’s campaign and Russian officials who meddled in last year’s election, Mr. Brennan said that “it would be premature at this time to make any determination, or rule anything out.” At the same time, he agreed with Mr. Trump about the seriousness of leaks to the news media in recent weeks. “These leaks are appalling,” he said. “They need to stop.”

In trying to combat what Mr. Trump’s aides see as a concerted campaign of leaks to undermine his legitimacy, the White House last month provided intelligence to Representative Devin Nunes, the Republican chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, showing that the president or his associates may have been “incidentally” swept up in foreign surveillance by American spy agencies last year. Since Mr. Nunes made that public, Mr. Trump’s team has focused on whether Mr. Obama’s White House improperly used that information.

Republicans pointed to the reports about Ms. Rice on Monday. “Smoking gun found!” Senator Rand Paul, Republican of Kentucky, wrote on Twitter. “Obama pal and noted dissembler Susan Rice said to have been spying on Trump campaign.”

Intelligence officials are supposed to guard the privacy of Americans caught up in routine eavesdropping of foreign officials. In daily intelligence reports to officials like Ms. Rice, they typically refer to Americans who came up in recorded conversations as U.S. Person One or U.S. Person Two. But high-ranking officials, as Ms. Rice was, can ask intelligence briefers to provide names to better understand the meaning of the report.

It remains unclear how many names were unmasked by Ms. Rice. But several former officials said she did so for legitimate reasons: The Obama White House was concerned during the election about continuing attempts by the Russian government to hack Democratic email accounts and interfere in the campaign. Ms. Rice, they said, needed to understand if Americans were involved in that.

They also said Mr. Obama’s advisers worried during the transition — as he imposed sanctions on Russia for its election meddling — that the Trump transition team was trying to undermine American policy before coming to office.

So many people had to be involved: Obama, Valerie Jarrett, Ben Rhodes, Lynch, Rogers, Comey, Clapper,
and more. Looks like Congress may have something real to look into after all.

But Russia Russia Russia...and Trump is mean and is guilty of something...and Sessions and Flynn did
something too oh wait..................

Just like Benghazi, they will try and pin it all on Rice.

And just like Benghazi nothing will come of it.

Do you realize the Benghazi investigation lasted 72 weeks, or roughly 17 months.
It was longer than the Watergate investigation in the 1970s -- that committee
existed for about 16 months -- and also longer than probe into Pearl Harbor.

Oh and by the way, does anyone know the out come? I don't remember there ever being one.

GasMan · Apr 4, 2017

Thing is the law is VERY specific as to how American citizens can be surveilled, even when accidental.

How is it exactly Mike Flynn was unmasked and his name given to the NYTimes?

Hmmmm....gee....scum bag Democrats.

919 is a fkin space cadet gutless piece of trash who defends criminals, law breakers, illegal aliens and terrorist immigration.

All for the sake of politics.
