We don't need no stinking badges!



“Badges? We don’t need no stinking Badges!”
The narrative for this weekend is set.  Except when it changes.
 President Trump tweeted out that President Obama tapped his phone.  That there was electronic surveillance and wiretapping of a candidate for President by an administration of the opposing party who was supporting his opponent.
Here is what we know. There were two FISA filings. First they went for a warrant and were denied. Which is almost impossible. Only 12 out of thousands were denied last year. So it had to be a pretty piss poor warrant. They went back to the drawing board and got a second warrant for Trump tower. Now why was the first one denied? Was it because they wanted to tap Trump and the Court refused. So they went back to the well and didn’t mention Trump but tapped him anyway.
They violated the law by spying on domestic matters in the guise of finding foreign agents. They used the cover of FISA to tap an opponent. They the disseminated and leaked the information in another violation of the law. They were supposed to redact any domestic content and obviously did not do so. The whole bullshit story of the Russian influence and hacking was the result of leaks and information that they claim resulted from these wiretaps.
The press claims that Trump has no “Proof.” Unproven or no proof is in every headline and the first line of every story. When was that ever the criteria? Every leak, every allegation and every bag of bullshit from anonymous sources has no “Proof.” Of course they never mention that in their headlines. They present rumors. Lies and fabrication as gospel as long as it hurts Trump. It is just more of the same lies and attacks of the opposition party.
This time they may have screwed the pooch. The President is calling for Congress to investigate. He can declassify these warrants and put it out there. If it comes out that Obama tapped Trumps communication it will be one of the biggest scandals in American History. If they let the facts come out.
President Trump is deep into his conflict with the Deep State. I fear for his safety. I hope he retains his private security force. He obviously cannot rely on the Secret Service. They would have to have acquiesced in the bugging of his communications. He cannot rely on the entrenched deep state in the NSA, CIA or FBI. Unless he starts firing people in wholesale lots he is at risk. Severe risk.
They tried to take him down with leaks and wiretaps and lies. It hasn’t work. How far will they go?

I don't doubt the evidence is disseminated among any number of people and would be made public in the event of any "accident".

I also think the one element of government that would remain loyal (and don't discount the old pros in the NSA, CIA or FBI) is the military. They don't like the Ozarks and like the Choom Gang far less. Dr Evil, good Nazi that he is, remembers the Night of the Long Knives (although he forgot it was all kept secret until the trap was sprung), but he seems to forget the idea of martyrs swings both ways.

There's very little reason right now to remain faithful to the Deep State. Trump's murder would break it altogether.

Somehow, I do believe he is several jumps ahead of them and keeping some of the slugs in place is for the purpose of having people who can be told come clean or forget about having heterosexual intercourse ever again.

I just think things are spinning out of control. He is revealing things that the deep state can not allow to be revealed.

Here a sitting President wiretapped a candidate and President Elect of the other party by lyin in a warrant. Saying it was for something else so he could get information. Leaking the contents of those illegal wiretaps.

I think the defense is that Obama didn't specifically and personally order that Trumps actual phone be tapped. Instead some minions did data mining and wiretapping of this computer and land lines. Nothing to see here! There is no proof!

One other note, not to put too fine a point on it.

Trump is not a Bush, he will not be a "gentleman", he will not let some appellate judge appointed in the last 25 years spring anybody on a penumbra, he will not talk about a brother from another mother or a sister from another mister.

He nailed Kasich, Jeb, Little Marco, the One True Ted, and Junior McCain.

Then he nailed the Hildabeast.

He will not rest until he has nailed these bastards.

Why make it sound so one sided? Trump may take down Obama before the Deep State can get to Trump. Let's not forget that if Trump is able to hang jail-time over one of Obama's minions the singing will commence.

It's already out. That's why so many of the rats are either trying to distance themselves from this or are making the usual "If we find wrongdoing" statements. And that assumes no one ever thought, after the revelations of NSA surveillance, it would never happen again.

In the immortal words of Barry Fitzgerald, "He let the cat out of the bag, and a clawin', screechin' cat it was, and a mighty thin bag it was in".

And Nixon had no hand in the Watergate breakin and you won't find any name higher than Heydrich's on any orders to exterminate the Jews. Tie it to Lynch or ValJar is all you need. That's the beauty of the system the Lefties have set up over the last 50 years.

Once you get somebody under the microscope, there's always a million laws they can be found to have broken.

Trooper York said...

It is one sided because of the number of people on the other side.

You can already see the Nevertrumper traitors like Ben Sasse and Lady Graham and shits like Little Marco doing everything they can to give cover to Obama and the Deep State.

The problem is I think Trump has them and they are not going to go down easy.

He is in danger precisely because he is a fighter.

Trooper York said...

It is not going to matter ed. The press is going to cover it up.

Look we already know that Obama is guilty. They used the FISA court and the NSA to spy on Trump. Case closed.

They will all be in on the coverup and Trump gets close to upending it they will take direct action.

They did it to Kennedy. Another rich guy who was breaking with the Deep State. They will do it to Trump.

edutcher said...

Nobody believes the press anymore. Remember, this isn't the 70s. Information is obtained from a wide range of sources.

The media could get away with it (maybe) if the Beast had won.

And, if any state killed Jack Kennedy, it was the one run by Khrushchev.

That's why I say listen to what they say. They're all slipping in the little "but if there is wrongdoing" savers. If Trump wins this one, they want people to forget the Uni-Party.

And it's looking better for Trump all the time. WikiLeaks reminds us of President Pissy's fondness for wiretapping and we also have something incriminating from the Beast.

Some very heady stuff from Surber (who else?) including this quoye

First, it is not apparent FISA could ever be invoked. Second, it is possible Obama’s team may have perjured themselves before the FISA court by withholding material information essential to the FISA court’s willingness to permit the government surveillance. Third, it could be that Obama’s team illegally disseminated and disclosed FISA information in direct violation of the statute precisely prohibiting such dissemination and disclosure. FISA prohibits, under criminal penalty, Obama’s team from doing any of the three.

At the outset, the NSA should have never been involved in a domestic US election. Investigating the election, or any hacking of the DNC or the phishing of Podesta’s emails, would not be a FISA matter. It does not fit the definition of war sabotage or a “grave” “hostile” war-like attack on the United States, as constrictively covered by FISA. It is your run-of-the-mill hacking case covered by existing United States laws that require use of the regular departments of the FBI, Department of Justice, and Constitutionally Senate-appointed federal district court judges, and their appointed magistrates, not secretive, deferential FISA courts.


As Insty would say, RTWT

I find it infuriating the hypocrisy of it all. Fuck the Democrats, Media, and the GOPe. I like that Trump is fighting back.

I find it infuriating that the fellating media still wants to defend the cocksure Barack Obama at all costs.

Fuck Obama too and his pussy little henchboys

The misinformation, defamation, and demoralization campaign is in full swing. They will not stop until they are stopped and I think they should be stopped physically. Get dirt on them and start having the AG do investigations, then if evidence points to them, arrests and indictments. It's about time.
