Conservative Media Giant says Democrats had Hoped to Hurt Trump at Intelligence
Committee Hearing, but Testimony by Comey and Rogers only Raised Suspicions about Obama
and His White House Staff
Breitbart News: There was only one new revelation at the House Intelligence Committee hearing --- AND --- IT WAS THIS BOMBSHELL >>> senior Obama administration officials probably knew the identities of surveillance targets
A
report by Breitbart News’ Joel Pollak says that what really came out of yesterday’s
Congressional hearing is NOT WHAT IS BEING REPORTED ON THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA…..
Here’s some of what the Pollack-Breitbart
article said:
“The mainstream media have been doing a victory lap since the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the National Security Agency (NSA) confirmed on Monday in testimony before the U.S. House Intelligence Committee that President Barack Obama did not wiretap Trump Tower. But that was already known.
There was only one new revelation at the hearing, and it was a bombshell: senior Obama administration officials could have known the identities of surveillance targets…. One of those targets, retired General Michael Flynn, lost his job after it was revealed that his conversation with the Russian ambassador had been monitored, and that he had discussed sanctions relief, contrary to his early private and public claims….
Yet Flynn’s identity was never supposed to have been revealed. The surveillance of the Russian ambassador, routine though it may have been, yielded classified information, and the identity of any U.S. citizen swept up in it should have been redacted….
[Congressman] Gowdy’s questioning revealed an astonishing list of potential suspects [among President Obama’s White House operative]. And given that the FBI and NSA testified that there was still no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government, the fact remains that the only crime that is known to have occurred with absolute certainty was the leaking of Flynn’s name and the contents of his conversation with the Russian ambassador.
Democrats hoped to hurt Trump. Instead, they raised more questions about Obama’s role."

Hoped to Hurt Trump, but Raised Suspicions of Obama” by Joel B. Pollak, 3/21/17, Breitbart News/ Big Government [http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/03/21/obama-hearing-media-victory-lap-ignores-fbi-nsa-bombshell-congress/]).
Ha Ha ha !!
ReplyDeleteGale I guess we were watching 2 different FBI heads speak. Comey made it very clear the FBI (that's Federal Bureau of Investigation) is investigating the Trump campaigns Russian connections. Plus, that small matter of the head of NSC being a paid agent for foreign government is an issue. The GOP heads in Congress are already distancing themselves from Trump, but they have reassured America that VP Pence was lied to by General "gee did I get 500k from Turkey" Flynn.
The 2018 midterm elections will be the slaughter of the GOP.
ReplyDeleteSome would say that when the Presidents NSA gets side money from a foreign government that the act of treason has happened. Breitbart says its fake news. Turkey is going to be Americas undoing and you'll never know it till it is to late.
ReplyDeleteJust ask traitor Flynn.
RESPONSE: THE "TIMELINE WILL TELL" EDITION
ReplyDeleteTO ALL OF THE ABOVE
YOUR DEMOCRAT TALKING POINTS MIGHT CONVINCE THE WILLFULLY IGNORANT MSM OR THE ACTIVELY AND PASSIVELY IGNORANT DEMOCRAT PROLES --- BUT THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT ANYBODY ON THE TRUMP SIDE OF THINGS IS ANYWHERE NEAR WHAT YOU CALL "TREASON"
AS FOR ANY ATTEMPTS TO CONNECT THE DOTS TRY TO REMEMBER THERE IS SOMETHING CALLED A TIMELINE --- YOU KNOW, STUFF THAT HAPPENED BEFORE, DURING OR AFTER SOMETHING ELSE
When it come to lining up with most of today's American Democrats or lining up with the Putin cabal in Russia, most patriotic Americans know that the only moral and smart thing to do is line up with the Russians --- On one of today's top cable shows, what are the 1980's Russian operatives called ??? Come on, sound it out --- "The A-M-E-R-I-C-A-N-S".....
Also, I am sure that today's democratically elected Russians have much more common interests with us in this YEAR OF OUR CHRISTIAN LORD 2017 than way back in their atheistic Communist regime days of 1984..... Or as Pogo repeatedly said, "We have met the enemy and he is us."
Gale I would respond to your points but I'm on my way to an El-Yateem rally. The hall only holds a thousand people.
ReplyDeleteEl-Yateem has the Bernie people.
ReplyDeleteJustin backed Hillary.
Bernie carried Bay Ridge
if you cant read the writing on the wall (or on cover of new york times) its clear Roger Stone is going to be the first to fall.
ReplyDeleteI've been told Gale that you and the direct descendants on both sides of your families were advisers to over seven presidents. Democrats, Republicans, Whigs. You should know by now that when the Director of FBI states that the "Justice department has approved" an investigation against the President it means they already got him. This ain't some flunky DA having a Press Conference about busting a few bookies.
ReplyDelete10:19 should consider reading his own bullshit. Yes Comey said that justice dept approved trump invesigation. so that means Loretta lynch approved the FBI investigation. Isnt that what trump has been saying?
ReplyDeleteRESPONSE: THE "TOO MUCH WACKY WEED" EDITION
ReplyDeleteTO THE PERSON TO WHOM I'M PRETTY SURE THIS RESPONSE IS INTENDED
I think you've been visiting your fiendish friend in Staten Island too much lately..... When your stash runs down too quickly, it means you're smoking it too fast.
As for Comey's testimony, dream on..... No warrants--no case against any U.S. citizen.....
This is an investigation of Russian hackers, not some "Plumbers" working for the "CREEP".....
BTW, since there can be no FBI investigations without electronic surveillance in the mix somewhere..... It's sort of a "Catch 22"..... So, it's back to Question #1, if any of Trump's people were caught in any electronic surveillance net, "What did Obama know about the electronic surveillance of Americans and when did he know it ?"
Right now, the timeline of all this Russia stuff absolutely favors civilian candidate Trump and disfavors government actor President Obama.
The FBI has had it in for Roger Stone since he shot his mouth off to the New Yorker that it was him who was responsible for bringing Spitzer down. It was the reason justice department declined to prosecute. Stone should empty out his accounts and buy a one way ticket to Cambodia or some other country with no extradition treaty. Like The Vatican.
ReplyDeleteSPECIAL RESPONSE: THE "MELVILLE-CARROLL-SLICK" EDITION
ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... MARCH 21, 2017 AT 9:46 PM" & "... MARCH 22, 2017 AT 12:59 AM"
SOME FOLKS DON'T SEE THAT, RIGHT NOW, FBI DIRECTOR COMEY IS MORE LIKE ALICE CHASING AFTER THE WHITE RABBIT THAN AHAB CHASING AFTER SOME WHITE WHALE (WITH OR WITHOUT A NIXON TATTOO)
Presently, like Alice, Comey looks like he might be ten feet tall..... So, let's wait to see what Comey has to say when he is small.
If the FBI's top guy is going after the "trickster" Roger Stone, then he certainly is following white rabbits right down into their holes.
Whoever said that "... Roger Stone is going to be the first to fall." obviously either didn't read the New York Times article under the headline, or didn't understand what it said about what good old RS really had to say, when he said it, and about whom.
Hint: The Times article clearly shows it's all likely to be a lot closer to "Alice in Wonderland" than it will to "Moby Dick"; so just picture Comey in braids wearing a young girl's dress, and forget about visions of JC in the get-up of a peg-leg sea captain --- BTW, even in girl's flats he sure looks tall (maybe ten feet, or so).
Impeachment is in motion and Mitch McConnell is the Jim Baker of today. One year from now things will look much different.
ReplyDeletePaul Manaforte was a full time Russian operative, and the Turks saw this so they paid 500k to Flynn.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what the rationale is for going along with a Russian takeover?
BREAKING NEWS: GALE WAS RIGHT ABOUT COMEY
ReplyDeleteHouse Intel Chair Devon Nunes just announced that there was government surveillance of Trump people unrelated to FBI investigation of hacking. Nunes is on his way to WH to brief Trump.
I smell democrats on this blog
ReplyDeletethe new york times reports that it was incidental surveillance. that happens a lot
ReplyDeleteGale was right about Comey. This begs the question was Comey uninformed or telling a lie?
ReplyDeleteUPDATE: THE "COMEY NEEDS TO FEED HIS HEAD" EDITION
ReplyDeleteSOME GOOD ADVICE FOR FBI DIRECTOR COMEY --- "FEED YOUR HEAD... FEED YOUR HEAD... FEED YOUR HEAD."
Didn't Trump "predict" that new information about the "Obama... wiretapping" would be coming out this week. I think he did. HMMMMMM ! ! !
I think that we all need to feed our heads --- Now, which drug of choice shall I use to excess (even though it's Lent). HMMMMMM ! ! !
Comey and his stern lecture about no surveillance seems like part of Comeys phony alter boy persona. Now the surveillance is called incidental. Incidental to what?
ReplyDeletethe incidental surveillance on an american national is not authorized under FISA
ReplyDeleteLets keep our eyes open to the big picture.
ReplyDeleteThe President can remove the FBI director for cause. Bill Clinton removed William Sessions for using an FBI plane for a vacation. Incidental surveillance on trumps transition team. Puhleeze
I dont think DC is big enough for trump and Comey.
ReplyDeleteCOMMENT: THE "COMPARISON THAT SINKS THE DEMOCRATS" EDITION
ReplyDeleteIT'S VERY SIMPLE --- IF EVERYTHING THE DEMOCRATS SAY ABOUT TRUMP'S AND/OR HIS CAMPAIGN'S COLLUDING WITH THE RUSSIANS PROVES OUT --- AND EVERYTHING TRUMP, TRUMP SUPPORTERS AND NOW SOME LEADING REPUBLICANS SAY ABOUT OBAMA'S OR OBAMA'S OPERATIVES WIRETAPPING TRUMP, TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN AND TRUMP'S OFFICES PROVES OUT --- THE DEMOCRATS ARE DONE
The comparison is between Trump's team probably not breaking ANY laws by colluding with, or even outright allying with, the Russians to defeat Hillary Clinton in the election of 2017 (unless they took donations from the Russians like the kind the Clintons took from the Chinese); and Obama's team being guilty of abusing the office of the presidency and corrupting the all U.S. law enforcement and security agencies (and probably similar foreign agencies, as well) in a monumental case of "high crimes and misdemeanors" exceeding all Nixon's Watergate Shenanigans by a quantum leap that almost defies description.
The mainstream media refuses to make that comparison, because they think that they can still win by pushing back on the basic Obama wiretapping story, but they are wrong. Besides it won't matter what the MSM does, because just like the Alt-Right media is winning the "infowars" about Obama's wiretapping Trump, my kind of comparison of the things each side did in 2017 will be made soon enough by that same Alt-Right media.
Somebody needs to mercifully put the Democrats out of their misery.....
