Hardcore troubadour 12,596 Posted March 5, 2017 So this week we learned that Obama used the nations intelligence agency's to spy on his political opponents, and, he used funds confiscated by the government from businesses for a slush fund that was used to finance political organizations that he is alligned with.

giraldi02 470 Posted March 5, 2017 Hopefully Trump will inadvertently reveal the reasons his campaign was under criminal investigation. It's going to be very telling in the next couple of days who wants this investigation into the "wiretaps" to proceed. If the Obama administration followed all proper protocols for obtaining surveillance on Trump Towers/Russian banks...Trump is putting a LOT on the line by going after this. People already know the NSA and the government are doing shady stuff. Only the most arduant Obama supporters deny that he ramped up the spying on citizens. His "legacy" in this area cannot be tarnished. It's already a joke. That's why it's dangerous for Trump to do this though. Peel back the curtains enough, and you run exposing things you can no longer take advantage of. This could inadvertently create a Snowden-like exposure of shady 'deep state' sh!t that throws everything into a massive state of chaos. I'm all for it though. Ideally, I'd love for Obama to have violated the rules, and for Trump's administration to be clearly shown doing shady stuff. Come on anarchy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiffleball 4,631 Posted March 5, 2017 This is the stage of the thread where all of the usual trolls pretend the last few pages and all the points made therein don't exist at all. That way, they can start the s*** up all over again and keep getting intention. Their tricks and games are tiresome and easily recognized. Sadly, somewhere therein, they actually think they're being clever. However, we have all seen where, when they get beaten down enough, then they suddenly switch to the response hey I was just having fun playing games with these guys! See? Look at me! I'm so smart.

wiffleball 4,631 Posted March 5, 2017 Geraldi, you're wrong about Obama ramping things up. You would be right in saying that he promised to ramp things down and he really didn't. But all the same sigint that occurred under his watch occurred also under Bush's watch. To the extent that's domestic sigint was tamped down in recent years, we owe that all to Julian Assange and Edward Snowden. Whereby private corporations were shamed publicly and said no more cooperation with the government. But even that is largely a Smokescreen. The truth about this latest b******* was trotted out within the first 12 hours of Trump's tweets. It is yet again an obvious ploy to try to get off of the Russian story. But that's not going anywhere. However, anybody with an IQ over 60 and certainly our intelligence Community has come out in droves to say here's what really happened and here's what absolutely didn't happen.

You should look into a confrontation at the hospital with none other than the Attorney General back in 2004. It revolved around the same thing. In short, warrantless domestic eavesdropping has been going on for a lot longer than when Snowden first got in the game. That's my biggest problem with him, the revelations, and the movie. He acts like the literally invented it right before his eyes and even in the movie which is a little shaky that stuff already existed before Snowden got there. Simply, just because it's new to him doesn't mean it's new at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiffleball 4,631 Posted March 5, 2017 i watched Fox' Sunday Morning Show with Chris Wallace. Pound for pound, I find it to be one of the better American news programs for fleshing out issues. I'm actually surprised Wallace still works at Fox. But I imagine he's only one of a couple that Fox can point to in terms of having any legitimacy as a news channel. He had Tom Cotton (R - Senate Armed Forces/ Intelligence Cmte) on as guest. Even Cotton - who bent over backwards at times to soft-pedal Trump said point-blank that he and his committee (who, legally, would have to review) have not seen any FISA requests of the type Trump alleges. He stoppped short of calling Trump a liar (when pushed), but soft-pedalled by saying "all Presidents are human". So, we have THE most Trump-friendly news source on TV, hosted by their most respected host. A guest that is inherently pro-Trump and well positioned and qualified to opine and inform, and even he basically called it 'bullshiit'. He tried to demur that the American People don't want to talk about this right now... Which is code-speak for "Please don't pursue this any further. I don't want to be a part of this shiit-show." Not that the attention-seeking trolls want to be informed, but I just offered up perhaps THE most Trump-friendly segment (short of Breitbart), and even they can't makes heads or tails about Trump's BS claim. Pretty obvious Trump's just trying to deflect from this Russian Bug-a-Boo that keeps following him like TP stuck to his shoe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
