How team Obama tried to hack the election

[jg121783 3,915]

New revelations have surfaced that the Obama administration abused intelligence during the election by launching a massive domestic-spy campaign that included snooping on Trump officials.

 

The irony is mind-boggling: Targeting political opposition is long a technique of police states like Russia, which Team Obama has loudly condemned for allegedly using its own intelligence agencies to hack into our election.

 

The revelations, as well as testimony this week from former Obama intel officials, show the extent to which the Obama administration politicized and weaponized intelligence against Americans.

Quote

The normally supportive court censured administration officials, saying the failure to disclose the extent of the violations earlier amounted to an “institutional lack of candor” and that the improper searches constituted a “very serious Fourth Amendment issue,” according to a recently unsealed court document dated April 26, 2017.

 

The admitted violations undercut one of the primary defenses that the intelligence community and Obama officials have used in recent weeks to justify their snooping into incidental NSA intercepts about Americans.

 

 

No anonymous sources needed, this was unsealed thanks to the courts.

 

The question is -- what will be done about it? The ACLU, which has been all over Trump for no reason, has finally come around perhaps..

 

Quote

The American Civil Liberties Union said the newly disclosed violations are some of the most serious to ever be documented and strongly call into question the U.S. intelligence community’s ability to police itself and safeguard American’s privacy as guaranteed by the Constitution’s Fourth Amendment protections against unlawful search and seizure.

“I think what this emphasizes is the shocking lack of oversight of these programs,” said Neema Singh Guliani, the ACLU’s legislative counsel in Washington.

 

And the fact that they clearly snooped on Trump officials says how much a corrupt POS the administration was. This is the real election scandal.

 

Can't wait to see how the left tries to spin or defend this.

  You've posted at least 20 times that the NY post is 'fake' news. You have been one of the most vocal people on this site in that regard.

 

  If you only believe the media when it's when it's something you agree with, then it's time to admit that the issue in general may be more with the viewers than the source.

Actually, this is one of the first instances of a left leaning news source picking up the Circa.com story which has been out for over a week.

Of course this is Paul Sperrys opinion and not a factual accounting or news.

This opinion piece brings nothing factually new. It is not about elections and nothing political in nature.

If you are an American citizen or resident  gets caught up in a communication with a subject of a Fisa warrant, you may be spied upon. So fix or eliminate the FISA courts.

You are confusing the N.Y. Post with the N.Y. Times. I have never called the N.Y. Post fake news. However I will say it now. They are fake news. But even a broken clock tells the right time twice a day.

 

Do you dispute the accuracy of the article? If so what is the basis for your disagreement? Let's have a debate about the information contained in the article for once and not who published the article. If I posted a right leaning publication writing about the same subject you would blow it off as being right wing propaganda. When I post a left leaning publication you tell me I can't post it because I have called them fake news in the past (even though I haven't). You and a few others here always attack the publication rather than the information contained in the article. It's always about diverting from the facts with a red herring.

You have proof it is not political in nature?  I mean the Obama Administration used the IRS for political reasons, and get away with it.  I am not sure if we can trust that they didn't decide they were immune.

Trust and politician is an oxymoron.

Absolutely, between them and the media, lawyers and used car salespeople, they all swim in a swamp.  Actually, I think used car salespeople may be a bit more trustworty.

The article is title "opinion". Enough said.

How does the IG report exonerate the Obama Administration from possibly doing this for political gain?  From what I read, it did not delve into the intent.

Rand Paul has a very proactive approach regarding spying on members of Congress and those running for President. Rice's testimony should be all the proof needed that this was done especially toward the Trump campaign.

Reported  . Insult a broad demographic. You compared used car salesman to lawyers , politicians and reporters.  I feel cheap and violated 🤣 The lawyer part really hurt
