Good day all. President Trump has unleashed yet another firestorm this weekend, tweeting out that there was, at least, an attempt to wiretap the communications in Trump Towers prior to the election.
The details are still in flux, as you might expect. The tweet that started it all came from President Trump’s personal account and said:
“Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my ‘wires tapped’ in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism,” Trump tweeted.
This started a number of tweets from President Trump regarding the alleged wiretapping. It has also started the denials from Obama and his minions. From what I’ve been able to piece together, it appears that the Obama regime went to the FISA court to get a warrant to bug the communications and a server in Trump Towers. The claim was that they wanted to see if there were any contacts with the Russians. The original request was shot down by the FISA court.
Considering the tendency of the FISA judges to rubber stamp pretty much any request, this would seem to indicate that even they thought this was a pretty serious overreach by the Obama DoJ. This didn’t stop the Obama regime from trying and they went back to the court with a modified request. This time the rubber stamp came out and the warrant was granted.
According to a story from Heartstreet last November:
Two separate sources with links to the counter-intelligence community have confirmed to Heat Street that the FBI sought, and was granted, a FISA court warrant in October, giving counter-intelligence permission to examine the activities of ‘U.S. persons’ in Donald Trump’s campaign with ties to Russia.
Contrary to earlier reporting in the New York Times, which cited FBI sources as saying that the agency did not believe that the private server in Donald Trump’s Trump Tower which was connected to a Russian bank had any nefarious purpose, the FBI’s counter-intelligence arm, sources say, re-drew an earlier FISA court request around possible financial and banking offenses related to the server. The first request, which, sources say, named Trump, was denied back in June, but the second was drawn more narrowly and was granted in October after evidence was presented of a server, possibly related to the Trump campaign, and its alleged links to two banks; SVB Bank and Russia’s Alfa Bank. While the Times story speaks of metadata, sources suggest that a FISA warrant was granted to look at the full content of emails and other related documents that may concern US persons.
This is a very serious matter, if true. It indicated that the Obama Regime may have tried to rig the election in favor of Felonia von Pantsuit. With everything that’s been thrown at the Trump Administration since the election, it does seem to show that there is something to what President Trump is saying.
As I mentioned, the denials from the Obama camp are coming out fast and furious. According to Fox News:
Former Obama foreign policy adviser Ben Rhodes tweeted earlier in the day: “No President can order a wiretap. Those restrictions were put in place to protect citizens from people like you.”
Technically, this is correct, and you can thank Richard Nixon and the original Watergate wiretapping for this. However, while a president can’t order a wiretapping, he, or she, can always do a “King Henry II” and make an off hand remark that can be used to start the train down the tracks. Since we know just how corrupt many of the Obama minions are, not to mention the attempts to jail reporters who didn’t toe the Obama line, it’s is very conceivable that Obama did want this to happen.
As you would expect, the Democrats and NeverTrumpers are quick to jump on President Trump’s tweets, saying that it proves he should resign. However, they are overlooking a few small details. In the past, when president Trump has tweeted out something outrageous like this, it usually proves accurate.
Then there is also the small matter that Donald Trump is the President of the United States, and now has full access to everything. I suspect that in the next week or so, after the “Usual Suspects” rant and rave, the actual details will come out showing that yes, the Obama Regime did, in fact, Watergate the Trump Towers and that President Trump is right…again.
The Democrats have been screaming for a special prosecutor since before Donald Trump was even sworn in. They might just get one, but it won’t be for an investigation into Donald Trump. It may be to investigate the previous administrations blatant attempts to use the organs of government to throw an election. Be careful what you wish for Progressives, you might just get it…right in the back of the head.
