    Obama Spying on Trump Campaign

    By Jim Hoft
    May 17, 2018

    In a SHOCKING admission on Wednesday The New York Times reported the FBI opened an investigation dubbed “Crossfire Hurricane” into Trump’s campaign 100 days before the Presidential election.
    The FBI was spying on the opposition party’s campaign 100 days before the election. The spying was based on a phony Russian dossier that was paid for by Democrats and Hillary Clinton and by the hearsay of a low-level Trump campaign official who was coached by FBI operatives on Russian rumors.

    We are now facing an "Unconstitutional" Fraud Stream Press, who are NOT upholding their duties under the First Amendment.
    SO many people need to go to jail, lose their jobs, or lose their businesses over this.
    The MSM has gone full Soviet. Suppress anything that doesn't fit the narrative, as long as humanly possible, then spin it when it can no longer be suppressed, then run political narrative propaganda nonstop, in place of actual news (reporting on actual events of the day).
    Whatever anybody thinks of Steve Bannon, he called out the MSM as the enemy of the American people more than a year ago and was roundly criticized for it...by the MSM of course...the MSM must be completely dismantled and licensing requirements and libel laws need updating and strengthening. You can plainly see why Mueller has gone after him.

    Except no evidence of any order coming from Obama and the investigation was triggered by the fact that a Trump campaign strategist got drunk and bragged about the Russians having dirt on Clinton and contacting the campaign about it. The FBI would have to be incompetent and corrupt to NOT follow that lead, but Trumpeters are so terrified of their dear leader not being exempt from the rule of law that they have to make-believe that a completely justified investigation is "Soviet."

    even street-level leftists know the Obama administration was corrupt from the floor up...but they don't care.

    and that's the problem.

    The Gateway Propagandist fails again. In fact, CNN shared this nonsense about "spying" straight from the jackasses's mouth:

    https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/17/politics/donald-trump-congratulations-america-mueller/index.html
    In a second tweet Thursday morning, Trump suggested there was an FBI informant embedded within his campaign. His tweet came after a "Fox & Friends" segment that referred to a report in The New York Times that said "at least one government informant" met with former campaign advisers Carter Page and George Papadopoulos.
    "Wow, word seems to be coming out that the Obama FBI 'SPIED ON THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN WITH AN EMBEDDED INFORMANT.' Andrew McCarthy says, 'There's probably no doubt that they had at least one confidential informant in the campaign.' If so, this is bigger than Watergate!" he said.

    Perhaps, but no actual corruption has been shown in this particular case. Just a bunch of Trumpeters who don't seem to realize that Obama wasn't the one signing warrants and there is no evidence the administration itself commanded any of this. It was started due to corrupt actions on the Trump team, and justifiably so.

    Sounds like you've got a baseless conspiracy theory based on nothing more than a victim narrative for Trump and wishful thinking. Meanwhile, back in reality, the dirt was offered by Russian nationals.

    are you saying leftists would trade all the other-people-financed freebies they covet for an honest, moral and ethical government?

    because I'm not seeing it.

    The OP is an RT fake news story, trying unsuccessfully to take the heat of Trump.

    The obvious lies only increase the fire under Trump's feet.

    That 'strategist' kid was fed information about Russian possession of Clinton emails by an Obama FBI operative. That operative introduced the kid to another Obama FBI operative who repeated the claim. Armed with this Obama FBI provided information, the kid was introduced to a Clinton Foundation donor and Australian Diplomat. The kid purportedly told the Diplomat what the Obama FBI operatives told him.
    You can continue with your facts now.

    I'd ask for evidence that the FBI planted a Russian national professor in the UK, but I'm going to go ahead and guess that this little conspiracy theory isn't so much evidence-based. He was contacted with the promise of Clinton dirt from the Russians (and he wasn't the only one in the Trump campaign who was contacted), and he acted on it (again, not the only one), then he got caught (not the only one).

    Being in denial that the Obama Administration, the most corrupt in history, broke the law to undermine the Trump campaign, the transition, and then the administration, you wouldn't ask for evidence. Here is some reporting:

    Two months before the 2016 election, George Papadopoulos received a strange request for a meeting in London, one of several the young Trump adviser would be offered — and he would accept — during the presidential campaign.


    The meeting request, which has not been reported until now, came from Stefan Halper, a foreign policy expert and Cambridge professor with connections to the CIA and its British counterpart, MI6.
    ,,,,,,,
    According to a source with knowledge of the meeting, Halper asked Papadopoulos: “George, you know about hacking the emails from Russia, right?”


    Papadopoulos told Halper he didn’t know anything about emails or Russian hacking, said the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the investigations into Russian meddling in the 2016 campaign. The professor did not follow up on the line of inquiry.


    Halper first contacted Papadopoulos by email. In a Sept. 2, 2016, message sent to Papadopoulos’s personal email account, he offered the Trump aide $3,000 to write a policy paper on issues related to Turkey, Cyprus, Israel and the Leviathan natural gas field. Halper also offered to pay for Papadopoulos’s flight and a three-night stay in London.

    Papadopoulos accepted the proposal, flew to England, and met with Halper and one of his assistants. He delivered the paper electronically Oct. 2 and received payment days later, according to documents TheDCNF reviewed.
    ,,,,,,,,
    Halper’s activities are all the more eye-catching because Papadopoulos and Page are central figures in the Russia investigation. Papadopoulos, 30, pleaded guilty in October 2017 to lying to the FBI about contacts he had during the campaign with Russian nationals and a London-based professor with links to the Russian government.
    ,,,,,,,
    In addition to meetings there with Halper and Mifsud, the Chicago native had an encounter that would serve as the catalyst for the FBI’s investigation into Russian meddling.


    In May 2016, a month after his meeting with Mifsud, an Israeli embassy official, who Papadopoulos knew, introduced him to Australian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom Alexander Downer.


    During a barroom conversation at Kensington Gardens, Papadopoulos told Downer about the emails Mifsud mentioned to him, The New York Times reported in December 2016.


    That professor, Joseph Mifsud, told Papadopoulos in April 2016 he learned the Russians had possession of “thousands” of Clinton-related emails. That conversation would later spark the FBI’s investigation into Russian interference in the presidential campaign. It is not known whether Papadopoulos told anyone on the Trump campaign about Mifsud’s remarks.


    http://dailycaller.com/2018/03/25/george-papadopoulos-london-emails/

    This is old stuff. The FBI is just getting around to try to soften the blow of the IG report in concert with their media friends by admitting to infiltrating the Trump Campaign. What they won't tell you is that it was all a set up. Papadopoulos knew nothing about the emails until Obama FBI operatives told him. He was just a kid trying to make a name for himself and repeated what Obama's FBI operatives told him to a Clinton loving co-conspirator.

    We'll see what makes it into the IG report very shortly.

    So many things wrong here it is hard to figure out where to start. But I'll skip the questionable publication and the fact that you seem suddenly okay with anonymous sources and just skip straight to the fact that, even for the sake of argument and saying that everything in here is true . . . it doesn't back up your claim. No where does it even attempt to make the case that Mifsud was working for the FBI. No where. Did you mean to link to another source? And if there were evidence of entrapment (which even your questionable source doesn't claim), why did Papadoupolos use that for his legal defense? And why doesn't your article make the other claim that you do: that the Obama administration was orchestrating all of this?

    And you can drop the Obamaite baiting. I've suggested more than once Obama should in the very least have gone through impeachment trials for the extrajudicial execution of two American citizens, one of them a minor from what I recall. But distaste for Obama is a piss poor excuse for trotting out baseless accusations just because you don't like where an investigation is going.

    Halper didn't contact Papadoupolos until months after Papadoupolos told the campaign about Russia's attempts at contact and months after his meeting with Mifsud and months after the FBI had been informed about the intel because of Papadoupolos's drunken admission. You guys need to work on your timeline. Nor can I find anything saying that Halper was offering more dirt. He was asking about the dirt, according to the source above. And, again, so hilarious to see you change your tune on anonymous sources as well.

    Obama's admin did nothing of the sort, it is criminal libel, actionable under the law, to keep arguing that lie.

    Trump is the most divisive President in our history, and his supporters are creating the blue wave coming in November.
